That’s especially true if you’re doing any sort of recording, or you plan to start streaming. These may seem like small adjustments, but they can really make a difference in audio quality. If it sounds like a phone call on a windy day, try moving your mic to the side of your mouth, so air doesn’t hit it every time you breath out. Practice your plosives-P and B sounds, which make you exhale. Are you too quiet? Try moving the mic closer to your mouth. Once you’ve got a way to listening to your mic audio, pay attention to how you sound-it’ll determine what steps you need to take. You can also download Audacity and record yourself talking for a bit too.
If you have access to any sort of monitoring function on your computer, this is a great time to use it. The best way to determine this is to listen to how your mic makes you sound. The first, and arguably most important step in improving the audio of your gaming headset’s mic is to adjust its position. Headsets can sometimes take the guesswork out of mic placement, but putting the time in to find the right position pays dividends.
