"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
If Sony's HD CRT sets are any indication, the SXRD sets are probably overpriced and provide an image quality worse than the competition. I still remember looking at a pair of Sony CRT sets when we were ready to buy our HD TV and I almost vomitted. The image quality was worse than an SD image with a poor cable feed.
