Buy microphones!

[radass]

Ok people, as we're encouraging some more passionate gaming around here (as outlined at in http://www.lanx.org.au/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1148 ) one thing i recon we need to do is get more microphones being brought to lans, so that we can have voice communication between team members ! imagine how much better games like COD and joint ops will be when you can easily give/take orders without typing and also alert others to troup movements ...

Get yourselves some headsets people :D

We'll set up a dedicated teamspeak/ventrillo server for you guys, so you don't have to worry your pretty little heads ;) At the start we'll get ya clan leader to come up and register the server, we'll give him the details and password, and he can pass it on to the team :)

I'd like a microphone in the wrap around style, like with headsets, but be able to keep my current headphones. Anyone know of a microphone like this that doesn't include headphones?

[MR_PEA]

you can get those koss ones that you put on ya shirt,,,,,,
dunno if ya wanna though
kinda gay!

what about one of those creative ones on a boom?

[radass]

yeah good idea, a mic made of stiff wire that holds it's shape ..

you're an ideas man!

[madcap_magician]

if u guys have seen the headphones i use - they are vertibram or something like that

they are good fro LAN's and only cost about 15 bucks

we were using ventrillo during xvz 2 - its the shit and would help andrew out a lot for joint ops with out having to yell at me all the time

I just duct-tape my crappy ear-mounted mic to my phillips headphones :D

[MR_PEA]

reading around a bit i come accross a good quailty pair of headphones thats relitivly cheap i can get em for 55 @ www.scorptec.com.au
check out some altec lansing AHS502... perfect most users...

[radass]

pls let me know how you go with em if you get them, i've eyed them before

[mudgie]

Grrr... I found what I'm looking for, but they all seem to start at about $400. They're farking expensive. I might just grab some coathanger wire and fashion myself something to do the same thing with my current clip on microphone.

May have to look into doing a group buy, If we can find a headset that we all like, I'll see if I can get them cheap as a quantity. I'm personally a koss boy, and would say fuck the AHS502, these are the babies you all want ;)

those are pretty nice, but whats the price for those babys?

I thought the Zalman surround haedsets were very nice.

Edit: lol my headset died about 2 mintues after posting this..... Avoid Logitec, cant even open them to repair them... or can i... *looks for soldering gun and multi tool*

[kyzen]

I would say if you're in the headset market (like lee has recently entered) or even if you're not, gimme a couple of days to see what kind of deal I can get on these babies ;)

[*NoN*Da]rY*]

well may they rest in pieces, it appears logitec made them to die good, there just a crumpled piece of melten goo now.. rest in pieces old freind :(

[MR_PEA]

i got the AHS502's and they arnt too bad for $49 squid.
+ keeps my ears nice a warm.
+7 foot lead
nice bass responce as with treble. a pritty good head set. but if you wanna spend the extra money get kenny chops to get the boss ones for ya..

Yeah, bit of an update, the KOSS SB45's aint going to be in aus for a while, but that will not stop us, I actually did some ringing around and checking out for you lovely guys. Got in touch with koss and the koss distributor in Sydney. They are going to retail in aus for... $135. I mean GOD DAYUM!!! Alas, I have ordered a pair direct, cost me $70AU inc postage with currency change over and crap. Little bit cheaper than $135! Anyway, when they get here I'll do a little review on them, if I think they are as sex as I hope they are, I'll put up an order page like with the shirts/hoodies, get ya's to put ya names down and direct deposit the cash, and I'll take it from there. If all goes to plan, they'll be around $55 each :D For an awesome set of gaming perfect headphones ;) And, you'll be some of the first gamers in aus to have a pair!

Im more into comfort and sound quality is a bonus, I can foresee saw ears.

[kyzen]

With these babies! Doubt it :)

[Zenon]

i got myself some pc130's from sennhiezer worth $90 from scorptec but i got em for $60 and they are the shit but i only got them for cheap cause i know a guy who knows the guys that own scorptec
get a good headset its worth it

[radass]

scorptec is probably my favourite aus store, i've bought heaps of shit off them

[mudgie]

I wish MSY would post stuff, because I'd buy from them and their delicious prices all the time...

[radass]

[Peter]
