Shopper conversation with Daniel H. on July 06, 2016

Daniel H.
Hi! I'm Dan. How are you?
Did you have a headset question I could help with?
Doing well thank you. It seems like it is difficult to find audio headsets with a boom microphone. Are there other models like the MX300?
I do camcorder play-by-play for basketball.
Daniel H.
okay -- and you have to be careful as this is a gaming set
and would have usb connection
but you want one that has mini or 1/4" jack then right
then right?
Yes, XLR would be preferred or TRS connectors.
Daniel H.
okay gotcha xlr certainly
let me dig around my bag here
3 pin xlr?
would you want three pin or four pin xlr?
Yes, or 1/4 inch
Daniel H.
did you have a budget range you were seeking to stay within?
I have a Telex headset with a mic that I've jury rigged to do the job but wanted to see what else might be out there.
I think my beringer mixer has 3-pin XLR.
Daniel H.
okay -- most popular
That's the hard part. I would say up to $400 might be workable.
Daniel H.
hmm okay
one I was looking at was 424 and change
a Sennheiser
Is there a picture of it?
Is it a stero headset?
Daniel H.
one moment let me see
I appreciate your help. I will give some more time to this and decide what to do. Thanks for the suggestions.
Daniel H.
okay -- welcome
would you like me to look around some more?
I've had good feedback from Sennheiser brand headsets .. as have I from BeyerD
