Headphones and Mic

[ODBAL]

I was curious how many of you fly with speakers vs. headphones.  I prefer using my speakers, but at the same time want to have a mic.  I'm sure there are times I will need to use the headphones instead of my speakers.  My question is, can you recommend a good pair of headphones with a mic that I can have the option of plugging in the mic only when needed?  If you have bought a pair on-line please provide me a link if you can. 

Also, maybe a good powder? These S.A.P.P. issue chaps are making my thighs chafe.

Do you have the option to use the mic and not the headphone speakers with it?

[Captfish]

no, because it is USB. my old one wich was regular 1/4" headphone jack I could wear the headphones around my neck for teh Mic and use the comp speakers. But I have come to like the headphones better.

I use sound blaster surround sound speakers and the mic part of a headset. 

I have the option of going to headset if I want, but the surround speakers make it easier to notice where GV's are (in front or behind).  For the mic, as others have done, I hang the speakers around my neck and point the mic up.

Expensive set of headphones-mic combo. Without that, I would have driven the wife out of the house long ago ... or vice-a-versa ...

headset, to much noise to be playing at night with speakers.

i have a 5.1 surround system but i use my headphones cuz i can control the front, rear, center and bass with my headset. I use the razer barricuda headphones and they rock has an ok built in mic. with headphones the volumes are all at my fingertips and i can adjust to hear planes coming up on me. That and a good headset will blockout all unwanted noise and lets you concentrate on dogfighting. the X-fi extreame gamer sound card i have helps a ton also you can hear the bad guy trying to sneak up on you. i forgot my headset is 5.1 surround and the woofers in it will blur your vision, it has 8 seprate drivers.

I've got a set of Klipsh 2.1 Speakers (they rock) and a Logitec mike I got at Best Buy sitting right in front of me.  The mike has a long neck so I don't have to bend or do anything but talk.  No interference from the speakers.

I use a set of Turtle Beach headset. It has 5.1 surround sound (four speakers in each ear cup) and a very good mike. My Simpit has 11 speakers hooked up to 5.1 surround. About the only time I use the speakers is when the families out 

This is the headset I have, tho I did get mine on Ebay at about 30% off.
