In order to actually do quality commentary, I decided to look up prices for headsets (meaning headphones with a microphone attachment). I don't have a lot of funds with me, so the first thing I did was sort out the prices and quality ranges for headsets. I wasn't really looking for top-quality ones, so anything $15 and above was a no-no. Also, anything rated 3-stars and below by customer opinion was put out of the search window as well.
Now, it became really tedious to sort through all the technical details, like figuring out what boom microphones were and such, but I managed to learn a lot about headsets. For one, not all headsets have two ear pieces and the ones that don't have both have an annoying clamp thing on the ear you don't hear through. Also, a boom microphone should technically have an on/off switch so you can mute yourself when you need to, but sometimes the cheaper-costing ones don't.
In any case, I ended up not trusting anything under $15 because I settled on one that was $20. What sold me was the video rating a person gave and the quality of his video with the headset was very nice. So I bought it and any day it should be here. I'm hoping that I'll be able to use it right before I leave for college, but first thing I'll do is test it out with Skype most likely.
