Best Microphone and Speakers for Gaming and Good for Blasting Some Music?

[Jinn-Gon Qui]

I don't like headphones. I like to hear the sound as it is in the background so I could pretty much hear everything. So while I have a decent/junk speakers and microphone, I'd like something of quality.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Well using a Mic along side open Speakers is never a good idea, it will not work without unwanted feedback; unless you invest in a quality directional mic.

What is your budget?

Good 10, 50, 100 or 1000+ speakers? 2, 2.1, 5.1, 7.1 speakers?

Players that broadcast their game audio and/or my voice back to me as an echo whilst Im talking = muted

Twitch.tv/BurkeBlack is one of the few I know who has been using External Speakers + Directional Mic for most of his days/years as a live-streamer/gamer; with extremely good results.

If you need his Specs, I can surely get those for you.

[John Doe]

A mic mount would help for that situation, with the mic's condenser pop directed to his mouth rather than the mic sitting next to speakers and picking their voice up.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yes, for such a setup as this, the Speakers should never be able to have "line of sight" towards the Mic either.

[John Doe]

Yeah, the studio type of mics can pick up sounds that come from far away if they're loud.

If he's willing to buy a vocal mic though, it wouldn't be an issue as he would need to put it in front of his mouth for the mic to pick anything up. Not exactly a great idea, but it would work.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yes, and BurkeBlack for example, even in his somewhat tight spaced room he streams in, his speakers are fine and very audible for him, and the Mic never picks any of that feedback up. Any one of his archived videos could be used as an example of this, if its one where he's not wearing his G430 Headset or using VR Headset.

But isn't that how the mic + speakers combo work for anyone who's using speakers and mic?

I don't know. I have no idea of brands and quality, so I guess I could come up with something later when I'll know more.

I... have no idea what does that even mean.

No, it must be a quality direction mic, or the Mic will always pickup feedback from the Speakers output and volumes; remember your Speakers will throw the sound off of basically every wall in your room, the Mic will pick that up as a result and feed it back as double-audio & echo to who ever hears you, or for what you are recording your mic to.

You can get this mic, which looks to be a version of the Seiren:

It has modes to pick voice up from certain directions. Then get a stand of your liking, direct the mic close to your mouth and far away from the speakers. As for the speakers, these should be good:

From a standard consumer point of view, are these cheap or decent or there are other cheaper models/brands?

[John Doe]

They're actually kind of on the cheaper end of the scale, I use an M-Track 2 external interface with a Rode NT-1 myself, which costs couple times of that.

Surely you can get some Logitech speakers and an even cheaper mic, but meh.

Aren't Logitech good?

[John Doe]

They are alright, not as good as the more professional brands like Klipch, Yamaha etc.
