Re: [H] Good headset/mic?

My Sony wireless TV headset has a adapter with headphone jack on one end an RCA 
jacks on the other and can plug in either way. Headphone jacks in the Sony and 
RCA to the TV. Hooked up like this gives me separate volume control from the 
TV. With the phone jack in the TV and RCA in the Sony the TV sound is OFF. Good 
for late night :{)

B4 I went wireless I used to just use a wired headset FWIW

[H] Good headset/mic?

2008-11-16 Thread Brian Weeden
I need a new set of headphones for my PC and was wondering what the list
uses.  I game a lot with them on so as not to disturb the wife/baby so good
sound is a priority, but I also use Skype and the like a lot for work so I
would really like a set with a good microphone as well.  USB preferred, but
not required.  Somewhere around $100 would be nice.

RCA audio out is line level, so it has to go into device with an amp. There should be 
BT audio streamers that take RCA jacks or you can use RCA to 3.5MM adapter.
