Question 1

Would i need to purchase a usb soundcard to use this with my pc? or is a mid-range motherboard soundcard good enough?

Accepted Answer

It's definitely worth having a go with your current motherboard, but despite having what I would class as a 'quite high end' motherboard I was very disappointed with my mic in quality.

If you do decide to go down the USB Soundcard route, don't give up if the first one doesn't sound any better.  My first one was a dud, however a different brand sounded markedly better.

Question 2

can i use this headphone to record youtube videos

Accepted Answer

First, it's just a microphone. And secondly, yes. The microphone is pretty good though you'll want to use something like the Sabrent USB soundcard and not your onboard as the sound quality will be much better. Keep in mind that the mic is only mono (1 channel) though that'll be fine for almost any video you make.

Question 3

Would this work on the Bang and Olufsen (beoplay) H8 headphones?

Accepted Answer

Well as long as this headset is like any other normal headset on the market you Should have no problems :).
Just select tur mic as input device and your headset as output.

Question 4

Is a 'Y' cable included in the package?

Accepted Answer

There is no Y cable supplied, there are two straight 3.5mm extension leads that the mic plugs into, both do the same job but two different lengths. There is also a cable sheath that can be used to adjoin your existing headphone cable to the Antlion mic Extension cable. That makes it like a single thick cable instead of two thin ones, this sheath is the only reason I went with the 5.0 over the 4.0 personally as I don't need the dual mic function but like my cables tidy. Hope this helps.
