Should you buy a headset or studio mic for your recording needs?

We recommend either a headset with a built-in microphone or a studio microphone and headphones setup for your audio needs. Here's what you need to know about both options

Keep it simple

Opting to invest in a quality headset with a quality microphone is a great way to keep everything simple. There's no need for extra hardware to get everything working. Simply plug in the 3.5mm connector or USB plug, and you're good to go. Another positive of headsets is that they do not require space on the desk aside from when you're not wearing them. It's less hassle for those who just want to enjoy music and media, and also play some games while talking to others.

One reason many still rely on the trusty headset is due to the accessory not picking up keyboard noise as much as a studio or desk-mounted microphone, which can pick up keystrokes and send them across to whoever may be listening on a VoIP platform. They also do a solid job of cutting out background noise and are normally positioned adjacent to the mouth to better hone in on and pick up your voice.
