Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"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!"
for me: what ads? I don't watch TV, and I use adblock. And I don't stare at billboards. Works for me...except Tekzilla is annoying the heck out of me...I'm not used to it
