I need a microphone/headset

This built-in microphone isn't working too well, so I need something better. Digging through Amazon hasn't helped. :(

Something $15 or less is ideal, but I'll go higher if it's good.

    Have you tried Newegg or Tigerdirect? You might luck out and find a really good deal. I picked up a Plantronics Gamecom 1 for $15 on Newegg. That was well over two years ago and it works just fine.

    edit: I must have really lucked out because most sites have them listed (not in stock) for $50+. But that just goes to show what you might stumble across. Keep looking!

    I'm pretty sure I got this exact headset at Target for 15$. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/webcam-communications/internet-headsets-phones/devices/2980

    And the headphones suck real bad BUT the mic is excellent. What I do is wear it around my neck with the boom arm positioning the mic and just the mic jacked in, and wear some decent earbuds I've got that I plug into the outs on my speakers. It's not a perfect solution but I have no complaints, especially so cheap.
