Hi Guys,
I've been pondering this for many years, and have never found a solution on the open market. So I decided to experiment, and here's the fairly successful result.
THE PLAN: To offer a cheap alternative to retail microphones, ideal for gaming and possible connecting to high grade headphones that don't come with a mic
BUDGET: Under £5 all inclusive
TARGET AUDIENCE: Gamer and VOIP'ers who have some nice headphones but that don't have a mic. Also people looking fora mic to stick to their monitor.
CURRENT MARKET OFFERINGS: Proper desk top mic, but that has no flexible arm. Maplin and similar don't offer a reasonable mic AND a way of attaching it to something.
REASONING: Most gaming headphones, while good, are not as good as the equivalent Sennheaiser (or similar) music/audiophile headphones. While high grade headphones do exist with mic's the market would like to chose thier own headphones and then attach a mic
OK..enough rubbish.
This is what I did:
While purchasing items from WWW.SCAN.CO.UK, I ordered this

They cost £2.34 inc VAT, and having now had them on my head, I can assure you, they are seriously uncomfortable. It matters not one jot. I purchased them to take apart
