I've been thinking about buying one again! I want to get better quality headphones than you can get with an attached microphone.

I've got an inexpensive "podcasting" USB condenser mic (AmazonBasics makes a surprisingly decent one) that I use in conjunction with over-the-ear studio monitor headphones for videoconferencing and gaming. It's vastly better in comparison to any other setup I've used.

Thanks! Which headphones did you get?

I've been using Audio-Technica ATH-m30x cans as they're fairly affordable and have a replaceable cord, but you'll find people who swear by Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic at various price points. If you're expecting lots of bass, you won't get it with monitor headphones, but you will get great speech clarity and solid gaming sound.

I was about to buy some Beyerdynamic headphones when my work sent me a $350 Jabra headset. That was good enough all around that I've just been using that ever since but now they're breaking, with a short in the right can and mic (sometimes I have to jiggle it to get it to work), so I'm looking into the original setup I was considering again.

Wow! That's possibly the longest run-on sentence I've ever written. I'm leaving it.

Edit: thanks for the recommendation! I'll look into the set you have.

You should check out ModMics. They are headset microphones that you can clip on to any over the ear headphones. So you basically make your own headset.

I'm sure there are cheaper versions than the official mod mics that work nearly if not just as well.

Desk mounted microphone isn't the only option if you are looking to get a high quality set of headphones but also want to use voice.

Thank you! I'll check it out.

I had a modmic and it was honestly a piece of crap. The wire casing was already breaking after about a year. Also, the sound quality was worse than I expected given the cost. Stick to desk mics imo.
