Preferably off of Amazon.com, are there any microphones you guys would recommend solely for chatting on Skype?

Well the first question is, if you have a ps2 usb headset, or a wired 360 controlled, would you be adverse to using them as your skype mic since both do work via usb.

Funny thing is all I've got is an xbox mic but the end only goes into the controller (unless there's a convertor for that)

Yes there is a converter for xbox mics, I have one, it is on Monoprice.

Also go check out your local Radioshack, I got a single earbud mic plus 30 minutes of Skype time for 2 bucks. It was clearenced out and they a had a ton of them.

EDIT: It has good quality too.

I must suck at searching.

Didn't find it at either monoprice or google or some off site shopping.com from google

Thanks, but how does that go into the xbox mic though?

There's no straight port resembling that.

You take the end of the X360 mic and put it in the hole on that adapter and plug the other end into the microphone port of your PC.

That's the thing...it's not an x360 mic, just a xbox mic

Guess that means back to square 1...is there anything of note in the first post (amazon search for microphones)?
