            If you wear glasses you could try sticking the magnet to those I guess?

            Saying so I had one of the original mod mics and it was great while it lasted, but I found the cable was damaged pretty easily which ended up with it in the bin.

            They do have a wireless version with its own dongle, decent bit of kit despite the micro USB charging lol.

      Probably not the best, bit I do like these for that situation.

      Corsair HS35

      Bought them on a whim without much thought because I couldn’t get my really nice wireless headphones to work with older games. These work with anything because they are wired. Also the little bits like the soft strap make them comfy to wear.

      Plain, basic, cheap.
