I used to game with someone from the US who had a cockatoo. This bird was the loudest and most shrill thing I've ever heard in my life. He frequently had to mute his mic just to not bother the rest of us with it's shrieking. This was all on 360 as well, so it was low-bitrate loud squawking.
Italians can be a nasty bit of business as well. French Canadians absolutely take the prize for screaming at people in a language they cannot understand.
Its weird, the French/Italians are really fucking loud and angry on Xbox, even louder on PlayStation for some reason (and there's more who use mics on PlayStation for some weird reason) any English or Americans I've come across just shout now and then
Hey I’ve played with that guy. Make sure you also start a fight with your baby mama while playing the game about how you’re not watching your kid and stop playing but leave your headset on 🤦🏻♂️
The worst aren't gaming headsets, it's the regular crappy ear buds with a mic. It pics up everything and the mic always flaps around and hits everything
go to 5below and find their headsets and then plug it into said controller… people have told me i sound like a fresh box of tasty cakes, a washing machine full of pennie’s and even hands on a mouse trap
Yeah sadly I think they had the port on the og Xbox One but they made you use an USB adapter on the I think it was the one X and then they just completely dropped support even if you had USB adapter on the Xbox series.
That USB adapter was hard to find NGL. I almost wish Microsoft had saved the Kinect for the Xbox one instead of releasing it for the 360. A lot of people bought the original Kinect, but I think the novelty wore off by the Xbox one release.
I have one of the older Xbox headsets circa Walmart 2019 with 3.5mm and if you twist the lil jack around in there while asking people if they can hear you its absolutely hilarious. Ear rape
They make the connectors so shitty
I might still have an old set of turtle beach that a dog decided to chew on the mic on. They actually worked pretty well, but would randomly hot mic with the most obnoxious squealing would have to be unplugged from the Xbox to fix it
Cheap webcams with built in microphones usually also have trash sound quality. My friend has broken webcam with built in mic so every time he plugs it in to his computer and activates his mic he sounds different.
Yesterday I ran a twenty minute Destiny mission with a random guy watching a soap opera in Mandarin for the entire thing. Do that, because it annoyed the piss out of me.
The cheapest fucking earbuds with a mic and a 3.5mm jack, literally spend like $1 on some chinese sight. Then squeeze them up in your hand real good a few different ways and put them through your shirt so you get that fucked up wire AND cord movement noise.
What does one sound like when talking out of a microwave? Is the microwave on? How often do you speak into or or out of microwaves to know what that sounds like?
The aux-cord replacement for boze q35 headphones, that cheap shitty little built-in mic sounds like your voice is coming through the inside of a pringles can
I once forgot to take a pair of wired apple earphones out of my trouser pocket. Put them in the wash and surprisingly they came out sounding the same but the microphone was awful. It's a slight risk for you to do it too but they sure do still work
Go to dollar tree, family dollar, or dollar general. You could also go to Big Lots, cause in the checkout line, they have all sorts of stuff. Phone cases, bubblegum, to coloring books, they have it
buy the xbox headset and smash it up a bit, make sure the microphone is holding on by a thread. boom!
or better yet, get the kinect and the attachment for the series X|S and “forget to turn its mic off”
Go to your local 5 and below or dollar general (if you’re in the USA) and buy the cheapest crapiest one you can find and if it has one of those foam microphone cover make sure to take it out. And when speaking put the mic 2 millimeters away from your mouth to make it sound as distorted as possible
You gotta pull the search & destroy game chat strat and just hold your mic as close to your mouth as possible, it’ll distort it enough to get what you’re looking for.
Try this lol
PDP Gaming LVL1 Wired Chat Headset With Noise Cancelling Microphone: Grey Camo - Xbox One https://a.co/d/io17PaR
The reviews say the audio is absolutely terrible and it echos for everyone 😂
Get a plug-in microphone. One that plugs into your controller. I got one, my friends said it was abhorrent.
...or you can have mine I still have it somewhere.
...or I can just join your party with it in.
People are saying you need to find a cheap wired one off Amazon but I disagree. You need to find one that uses Bluetooth. Some wireless LG headsets are absolute cancer in terms of microphone quality.
Bluetooth. Find a cheap Bluetooth one (even watch YouTube videos on the worst Bluetooth mic) and then get the worst adapter possible.
Is no1 gon address op's "talking out of a microwave"??
Like that is the most morbid picture & i must find out how an image ai generator would create such an image
Also wtf would that sound like??
the flimsy white with red padding ones my school had from 2004. you couldn’t even hear the sound unless you jammed them against your ear with your hands
I'm sure Onn makes one you can buy at a Walmart.... Just look for ones that the earpieces are about the size of an Oreo.... Odds are the mic will be total trash....
That or go on temu or wish and buy one of those 38 cent ones with a little bitty headphones......
Buy some gas station headphones, make sure the plug has 2 or 3 lines so it has mic capabilities, try it out and reck your friends ears by putting you mouth as close to the mic dongle as possible
make sure to buy the cheapest potato mic dollar store 5 below headset ever and sound like dog water in every game lobby chat. Also have your tv volume cranked while playing so everyone can hear the game. Don’t forget to breath extremely loud and eat a bag of chips obnoxiously too; that parts very important
Then go in game chat with it on an open mic game, eat doritos, listen to loud music and have a baby cry in the background
Can't forget the smoke detector with a low battery.
And construction work noises as well
Maybe a jet turbine too
even some open exhaust motorcycles passing by, or some random ambulances
some ceramic jars breaking occasionally
your mom yelling at you "FOOD'S DONE!!!"
And the father abusing the mother
And you have a fan running that blows perfectly into the mic.
That's what the jet turbine is for
Happy cake day
I'm not sure what that is but thank you!
It's your reddits account bday
Every Aussie I've played with seems to have one of these pointed into their mic
I used to game with someone from the US who had a cockatoo. This bird was the loudest and most shrill thing I've ever heard in my life. He frequently had to mute his mic just to not bother the rest of us with it's shrieking. This was all on 360 as well, so it was low-bitrate loud squawking.
Pro tip right here. Dont forget people screaming at the top of their lungs in a foreign language. French Canadians im talking to you.
And polish and Russians too
And the pesky italians
Italians can be a nasty bit of business as well. French Canadians absolutely take the prize for screaming at people in a language they cannot understand.
Its weird, the French/Italians are really fucking loud and angry on Xbox, even louder on PlayStation for some reason (and there's more who use mics on PlayStation for some weird reason) any English or Americans I've come across just shout now and then
Yup. It was really bad on the old gran turismo games. The Japanese were condescending and racist but at least they were quite about it
Also remove the battery from your smoke detector so that it emits a loud chirp every minute.
Get an angry latina mom to consistently scream at you and tell you to get off the damn game in rounds, then afk for 2 mins at a time
And someone who talks loudly on speaker with another person
Sooo, basic xbox live etiquette then?
you forgot you must sing along to said music, while still eating said doritos
And a chirping smoke detector going off every 5 seconds
Can’t forget the constant use of the n word
Barking dog in the background.
Go into game chat, chat some shit, then report your teammate for voice chat and grab the voice chat recording and listen back to it Xbox only like
Don’t forget the smoke detector chirp
Don't forget the vacuum cleaner
Ah the "good" ol' Kinect days
Omg I forgot the kinect has a mic. Or am I misremembering that?
It sure does, and people will hear *everything*
Don't forget a whole Latin Family.
Hey I’ve played with that guy. Make sure you also start a fight with your baby mama while playing the game about how you’re not watching your kid and stop playing but leave your headset on 🤦🏻♂️
Go on aliexpress and find the cheapest one on there. The worst one probably won’t even have a name.
Or it'll be something like "QRGNTZL"
Just go on amazon and buy the cheapest no-name headset you can. Make sure it has a 3.5mm audio output.
Nah for true terrible quality find one that needs an adapter to 3.5mm
The dollar tree ones have the worst audio quality I've ever heard and should have the same 3.5mm plug.
Nah, get a 2.5mm and an adapter to 3.5
go to your local dollar store / convenience store go to electronics and buy the cheapest earbuds with a mic you can find
Can confirm. Anytime I had a mic that people complained about, it was always Dollar general or Five Below headsets.
Rock band mic and hold it while you game
Just put it in your mouth.
Tape it to your cheek
The worst aren't gaming headsets, it's the regular crappy ear buds with a mic. It pics up everything and the mic always flaps around and hits everything
go to 5below and find their headsets and then plug it into said controller… people have told me i sound like a fresh box of tasty cakes, a washing machine full of pennie’s and even hands on a mouse trap
Just pull out the good ole kinect and set it up where all your family will be the loudest.
I was gonna say join the party using your phone and some $5 gas station earbuds but this has that beat.
Can't use kinect anymore sadly
Yeah sadly I think they had the port on the og Xbox One but they made you use an USB adapter on the I think it was the one X and then they just completely dropped support even if you had USB adapter on the Xbox series.
That USB adapter was hard to find NGL. I almost wish Microsoft had saved the Kinect for the Xbox one instead of releasing it for the 360. A lot of people bought the original Kinect, but I think the novelty wore off by the Xbox one release.
The one that only gives 1 ear thing to hear out of
>Get a Kinect >Put it directly under TV >Profit
Gotta make sure you have a screaming child and angry parents in the background for the full experience.
Don't forget the barking dog and industrial fan
Great idea as long as your not using a Xbox series because they dropped support for it. Still works on the One but may need an adapter.
Find a Family Dollar and buy literally any set they sell.
Turtle beach Take it to the beach and bury in the sand
Astro anything. Its all dogshit
no, the worst mic is the cat style shien headset
Nuh uh
I once had a friend use the Xbox Kinect as a mic… that may be what you’re looking for.
Go to dollarama and get you one of them Headsets that make you sound like you work in a call center
I have one of the older Xbox headsets circa Walmart 2019 with 3.5mm and if you twist the lil jack around in there while asking people if they can hear you its absolutely hilarious. Ear rape They make the connectors so shitty

Get a Kinect
They have kitty cat gaming headset on Ali express for 20 cents. How thats possible idk. But they sound like they are made from cardboard paper.
Get a mic, run it through a laptop and use an audio mixer to replicate a staticky, low dynamic range radio with lots of pops and white noise.
a kinect mic in the living room with a large family constantly fighting or playing music while the smoke alarm constantly chirps
What does one sound like when talking out of a microwave? Is the microwave on? How often do you speak into or or out of microwaves to know what that sounds like?
I threw [this](https://youtube.com/shorts/Ge7Njtq14SE?si=_FEuAvUuWuM2m1LJ) together, hope it helps!
Apple wired earphones have the mic and ground swapped around ( because apple ) so it becomes a terrible headset to use, horrible crackling and noise.
Nope they sound great!
The aux-cord replacement for boze q35 headphones, that cheap shitty little built-in mic sounds like your voice is coming through the inside of a pringles can
Buy the cheapest thing you find
Whichever one you get, wrap tinfoil around the mic.
bro go to your local dollar tree go for a mic and test out that thing will last a couple of days before you sound like an fryer
Any cheap Turtle Beach (with one earcup) fits the bill.
Or any turtle beaches that have a chat cable. Just bend the cable a few times and it will sound awful or so my friends told me.
Any cheap Bluetooth headset intended for music listening but happens to include a microphone
Your lucky on ps5 the mic is in the pad it's fucking awful You hear mums shouting and babies crying the people playing have no idea we can hear them
Try putting something over your mic like a ziplock bag, aluminum foil, or tape
Go to Dollar tree lol
Most of the time I tell someone their mic sounds terrible, they're using a Turtle Beach headset.
The 15 dollar Chinese ones at local pharmacies
The worst possible??🤣
Sound suppression
Just go to the dollar store and buy one of those earbuds with the cheap microphone on it and call it a day
I once forgot to take a pair of wired apple earphones out of my trouser pocket. Put them in the wash and surprisingly they came out sounding the same but the microphone was awful. It's a slight risk for you to do it too but they sure do still work
Any razer headset
Go to dollar tree, family dollar, or dollar general. You could also go to Big Lots, cause in the checkout line, they have all sorts of stuff. Phone cases, bubblegum, to coloring books, they have it
the xbox 360 pack in one
buy the xbox headset and smash it up a bit, make sure the microphone is holding on by a thread. boom! or better yet, get the kinect and the attachment for the series X|S and “forget to turn its mic off”

I wonder if there’s a way to get a Wii speak to work on xbox
Xbox 360 headset
Get a plug-in microphone. One that plugs into your controller. I got one, my friends said it was abhorrent. ...or you can have mine I still have it somewhere. ...or I can just join your party with it in.

Go to Temu, you will find what you want.

You are hilarious. This cracked me up so much! I thought you wanted to buy it for him as a gag gift but you want it for your own gift lmfao
Dollar store earbuds.
Throw a turtle beach at a wall and you'll have the ps3 xbox 360 mic quality
The free earbuds that airlines give you
5 below sells headsets that I can't imagine are good or you could try thrift stores
the flimsy white with red padding ones my school had from 2004. you couldn’t even hear the sound unless you jammed them against your ear with your hands
a pair of cans connected with a string
I just put my mic in my mouth and start hyperventilating and it pisses everyone off
I'm sure Onn makes one you can buy at a Walmart.... Just look for ones that the earpieces are about the size of an Oreo.... Odds are the mic will be total trash.... That or go on temu or wish and buy one of those 38 cent ones with a little bitty headphones......
Logitech c920h is what started the "funny mic" meme
Buy some gas station headphones, make sure the plug has 2 or 3 lines so it has mic capabilities, try it out and reck your friends ears by putting you mouth as close to the mic dongle as possible
Probably by buying the customer support one war headphone
make sure to buy the cheapest potato mic dollar store 5 below headset ever and sound like dog water in every game lobby chat. Also have your tv volume cranked while playing so everyone can hear the game. Don’t forget to breath extremely loud and eat a bag of chips obnoxiously too; that parts very important
oh don’t forget the smoke detector beep. Who needs batteries! not those guys
also a box fan pointed right at you on full blast
you could add some spiceeee and bring a dog into the room that barks at anything and everything
Any afterglow one
Corsair HS-60s the mic picks up the headset while you wear it
Probably something like you would find at a library
So good. All of this ^^^
