Sound recordings are a good indicator for measuring the clarity and amplitude of the sound recorded from the microphone. Based on the quality of the recording, you can make the adjustments to your PC settings accordingly. With Campfire Audio Solaris Stellar Horizon (yes, it's a bit of a mouthful) the Portland Oregon audio specialist continues to challenge notions on what is good, bad, revealing, neutral or otherwise in IEMs. The Focal Bathys are novel in that they offer wireless listening and a dedicated DAC mode, but it's in their wired USB-C audio mode that these cans truly shine. Gaming headsets with a 3.5mm plug cannot process audio on their own and have to use the sound card in your device. So, the sound quality highly depends on the quality of the PC’s sound card, which is often not of a high standard.
While wireless headsets don’t come with the confusion of wires and ports, it’s still not as simple as flipping a switch in your settings. Additionally, wireless headsets often need some setup to ensure they’re functioning at peak performance. Some of the mics on this list offer different options for audio patterns: Bidirectional, cardioid, omnidirectional and stereo. Others offer only cardioid. Here's a brief explanation of each pattern, to help you decide which one to use: Desktop or studio: This is a wider microphone that can be mounted on a pedestal, tripod, or boom. These typically have a wide diaphragm that is more sensitive to sound and delivers richer audio. Transducer type While Focal is marketing these talented cans as its first-ever shot at wireless over-ears, we'd like to posit them as a very talented wired option, because if you use the USB-C cable in DAC mode, you've got hi-res audio up to 21bit/192kHz. Oh, and in case it needs to be stated after looking at the picture above, they're utterly stunning to look at. Since these smaller devices don’t have the space for multiple audio ports, a single dual-purpose TRRS port was created to transmit both stereo audio and mic input. So, can you use a TRRS plug with a TRS port? Different types of headphone plugsHere’s an easy-to-follow guide on how to tweak your PC’s settings to use either your headset’s speakers or mic. USB to 3.5mm: If your headset has a USB connector, but your PC only has a 3.5mm port, this adapter can get you connected. The first thing you have to do is identify the recording slot of your computer or laptop. Most computers and laptops nowadays have a single audio slot, which means you can simply plug your headphones in. However, some computers still have two separated slots, one dedicated to headphone audio and the other to recording/mic input. Some plugs come with a ‘right way up’ sign on the rubber sleeve of the plug, but if yours doesn’t, then you can inspect the inside of the plug and the port to figure out which way up it goes. How to Connect Your Wireless Headset to PC Under the “Input” section, select “Choose your input device”, and then select the microphone or recording device you want to use.
Being able to use your headphones with built-in mic on your Windows 10 PC can have a great impact on the quality of your online meetings or even gaming. You can save some money by buying the standard HyperX Quadcast detailed above, but if you've got an RGB-heavy gaming PC and want a microphone to match, the more colourful QuadCast S is worth a look.Unlike standard headphones, gaming headsets include mic functionality. So, aside from matching the headset plug with your PC’s audio port, you may even need to tweak some settings to ensure everything works as it should. We explain why using single-plug headsets on PCs requires a splitter and what you can do if you don’t have one. On the other hand, newer headsets usually have one TRRS plug designed to work with phones and laptops. If you’re using third-party audio apps, it can override your system preferences for your audio devices with the programmed options. For example, Discord is known to mute audio from other open apps. Be sure to turn them off to prevent unnecessary interference. How to Enable/Disable Your Headset Mic in Windows 10
