So my dog (157lb Ole English Mastiff) ate my mic.  Boom, mic, and all.  She left the wire and jackhead alone, but the rest looks like I took a grenade to the face.  (grumble grumble $50 grumble grumble)

Since my bitch ate my headset, I find myself less willing to play.  I actually don't want to play for this exact reason.  Without a headset, I'm reduced to the preheadset days of commarose limitations and pg up/pg dwn responses.  I feel like I'm playing in the stone ages of communication.  I've played twice since the dog ate my mic and I refuse to get in a chopper or plane until the mic has been restored.  I love ground pounding, but squad tactics have been hindered due to lack of good communication.

How the hell did I ever manage without Voip / TS / Xfire or just a good working mic?  Man, have I become a total mic-snob or what?

I buy the 12 dollar headsets, with the pink and green plugs, the "El Cheapo" kind.

Works like a champ.

I would've used a cheapo set but the steward-ass took the headset back at the end of the flight.

Chop your ear off then blow out your ear drums.  Then you'll really have sad communication.

Never buy USB headphones, i know numerous friends who hate them and i also hate them.
They have poor quality compared to standard jack plug headphones and they also take up precious usb slots and bandwidth.

Stick to standard headphones, they are much, much better. i recommend sennheiser headsets, they aren't cheap but you wont find any better headphones on the market.

Ummm - I've bought four sets - One for me, one for my kid and two for office M8s, they all say that they are hearing things they've never heard before.

So, please don't make gross generalizations.

Yeah, I'm pretty sold on 5.1 or better when it comes to the sound.  I really like my headset but the major complaint I've got (see original post) is that they aren't dog proof.  Course I doubt anyone is up to the task of making a headset that can take 300 lbs of dogjaw pressure and then selling it to me for under a bill.

Unless I'm going to play with me mates I disable the in game VOIP to free up resources, so not using the microphone is normal for me in pug's.    As far as your pet, get him some toys of his own and reward him with treats when he plays with them. Sounds like woofie  might be teething because plastic doesn't taste good to animals. If its too old to be teething then its just a boredom issue and time for more attention and outdoor walks

It's great to hear that your mic is back onlibne ... it sure makes a difference when you're using a mic.

Zalman surround sound headphones, had to go get a 5.1 sound card to use them. (headphones were a gift). Helpful in locating where enemy sounds are coming from. Lost my xbox headset to Wheezer the middle dog. I guess the smell of head sweat is too good to pass up for dogs. Also likes chewing hats.
