    It’s mostly marketing and a built in mic. Ever since I got a mic on an arm and good headphones though, that’s all I want to use.

      Everything for gamers is mostly marketing…

      The biggest value headsets provide is that the customer doesn’t need to learn anything about audio products - a mediocre but complete product will sell better than cheaper and superior setup that has to be spec’d out by the customer. When you leave it to the customer they will often buy a $500+ studio condenser mic and complain that it sounds like crap because it catches room noise. You sell them a $2 hypercardioid pattern dynamic mic for $50, and they call you a hero.

      I personally just got a gaming headset for the first time. Before i had a cheap stand mic which due to space i had to place almost behind my screen. It picked up every little sound in the room. Keyboard typing sounds and mouse clicking were hearable a lot. Now with a mic actually on my headphones that issue doesnt exist anymore and people already mentioned that i sound way better. As for mics on an arm, do they need a lot of space?

        They just clamp on the edge of your desk and you move them out of the way.
