I'm a little confused about the mic. Does it come with an in line mic? If not, can you suggest one for pc gaming.

Yes it does come with an in line Mic. I personally haven't used it for gaming but I am pretty positive that these headphones would work excellent for gaming. In the future I will definitely try them out with games.

Yes it has an inline mic but it isn't too good and only works with Apple devices. You can always purchase a aux cable with a better mic to plug into these headphones.

Yes it comes with a mic, unfortunately it's so weak that I've never had it work successfully to have a conversation with.

It does come with an in-line mic. I would recommend combo-ing this with a ModMic for PC gaming. That way you have a dedicated mic of really decent quality and then a solid pair of headphones. Don't forget to do a burn in for these headphones with a mixed play list on about 75% volume. it helps to bring the mids and highs back in (keeps them from being muddy) and the Bass will still be solid.

I would like to have a mic setup where two of us can be in this end at the same time. Most mics are either with a headset, so wouldn't work for two people, or built in to the camera. The problem with that is it is really close to the speakers so I am concerned about feedback/distortion.

I'll be frank. You do not want to use a mic that plugs into your PC or soundcard. Put your other USB devices on a a powered external hum and plug your mic into a free PC USB port. Even if you were to get a standard XLR mic you would still need a preamp that provided Phantom Power and a USB interface to connect it to your PC. some Preamps have interfaces built in.

Definitely not I use mine for Pro level gaming and it sits to the left of my monitors pointed toward me and when using it in directional mode it does a fantastic job of canceling out game noises allowing me to talk to my teammates without echo or any interference. That said I am a musician and this is also excellent for recording different instruments and mixing them in editing. one of the best mics I have used to date and I have spent everything from $60 to $500 on mics and to date none have been as good for mixed use scenarios, and still function far above the norm in each usage area.

If it has a standard headphone jack it should work, if you need a special jack you would need a converter of some kind, but if you use that, the mic may not work. If they work they'll give you some boss sound for gaming tho.

It has an audio in...which I would guess it is at line input level, not intended for a microphone. That is what it seems to be to me.

I find it great for gaming. Great sound and great isolation for voice on the mic and just today I found them comfortable enough to wear for 3 hours straight (it was a teleconference this time though)

I guess the new Soul headsets don't come with the mic, kinda disappointing. My brother bought the Soul SL150CB a month ago, and they had a different cord.

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good. I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys. Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

It's a really nice mic for a headset. There's a very slight hissing that I'm told only I notice (Because I'm listening for it), but otherwise it's super clear; Doesn't pick up sounds like my AC at all.

Thank you so much for your in-depth response to my question. I may just go ahead and get the mic with your recommendation alone. Outstanding!

Eh...it's a great mic, but if you have speakers on, there WILL be feedback sent through. I don't think there's a mic that can realistically cancel out sound from the speakers but still pick up your voice. They advertise it as such, but the tech isn't really there. It's a great mic though for all intents and purposes!

btw after writing my last comment i went to www.macspeech.com and checked out their headsets and some of them look really good. pricey though i'd stick with the usb microphones and pic one from their page and go for it

The mic is totally fine - no complaints there. I use Mumble/Vent regularly and my clanmates have had no complaints. I also don't have to use mic boost or anything like that.

Not really... This needs 48v phantom power and a proper mic input. Of course you can get an interface that will connect this to a PC, but then why not just get an inexpensive gaming headset or a usb mic. This mic is an awkward choice for gaming.

you need headpohones or earbuds to use this as a gaming mic. otherwise the speakers will provide too much feedback and it will sound bad.

There is an XLR version (connect to computer via audio interface), and a USB version, connect directly to the computer. Based on how you are going to use it, I highly recommend the XLR version. Pick up a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2, a good mike cable and mic stand all for around $300, (new)-- you'll be very happy with the results!
