Exactly the guidance I was looking for. Brilliant. And I hope you’re getting a little spiff on my clickthrough purchase. Really appreciate that you offered multiple, inexpensive options. I’m drop-shipping them to podcast guests and using Squadcast for really excellent audio that sounds like we’re in the same room.
Thank you

Hi. Hello there.

Thank you for your very informative article. I am a complete newbie with an ambition to podcast and most I think would be done in the hoof as it were, walking about a bit. So the sennheiser PC 8 would seem to be a sensible purchase.

The next question, the important one for me. I do not wish to chase around the place with a PC under my arm and will, sensibly, I hope, look to purchasing a digital recorder that would fit a USB connection from the PC8. Could you please suggest something appropriate with good sound quality and reasonably affordable.

I thank you in anticipation of your reply.

Best wishes from a very soggy Wales tonight.

In reply to Krish.

On the cheap, nearly any headset will get you recorded sound, but as you move into less expensive models, you’re often dealing with lower quality componenets. So a less expensive headset like a Senheisser PC3 (https://amzn.to/2O5f0gL) would work, but you should expect a loss in audio quality comparatively.

Thank you for compiling this list and audio clips are definitely helpful. Do you have any more 3.5 mm jack headphone with mic suggestions? PC131 is over my budget. Thanks again!

Not a podcaster, but I needed to replace an faulty Logitech wireless that I use to talk to clients over the computer. The audio samples were extremely helpful in narrowing down the sound quality. Thank you!

Thank you for your evaluation of these different headset mics. I really appreciated getting to hear what they sounded like. That was a great idea! I am using my headset mic as a dual purpose device. 1) for recording audio for short how-to screen capture videos and 2) talking to corporate clients on Skype. It was more important to me that the mic performed well than anything else. Your article helped me make an informed decision.

I have a Rode Podcaster that I use for other types of narration projects from technical narration to recording audio books for audible – just didn’t need to change my studio configuration to accommodate using the big rode for these how-tos. I am looking forward to hearing how the Sennheiser 8 performs with my voice.
