IIRC, any Sony mic with the prefix ECM is a quality product - 
although even Sony is not what it once was, sadly. That used to 
be a prefix for their professional mic line, but that may have 
changed.

Nothing which is NOW called professional IS - if it says 
"professional" or worse, "professional quality", DON'T buy it. 
If it's professional, you'll know it by where it is sold and how 
much it costs. All "computer" microphones, headphones, and 
speakers are TRASH and always will be.

Koss was a very good brand 35 years ago. It is trash now. The 
name was bought by some jerks - like it has happened with MANY 
formerly good brands - and now they sell junk with a formerly-
good brand name on it. Put it in the garbage where it belongs.

If you want a decent headset/mic combo that will work properly 
and does not have wires inside touching where they shouldn't 
etc., you will need to spend a fair bit of money. I am talking 
Sennheiser, Beyer, etc. Hundreds of dollars. NOT made in China 
shit.

Much cheaper to get a gooseneck desk stand for your mic and use 
the 2 separate devices. Easier on your head physically, as well, 
and doesn't get in the way of enjoying your coffee or vodka. (Or 
both together.)
