Hi Folks,

I am intending to buy a headset with mic, and use it with FSHUD on MSFS2020. I have never before used a mic on  PC.  Can someone suggest a model, in the mid range price?. I would appreciate any advice on the subject. Thank you.

I've been using Razer and couldn't be more happier. These sound great, feel great, looks like an aviation headset too! The batteries last long time too.

If you already have headphones, check out ModMic, which can attach to any pair of over-ear headphones:

I find the Sennheiser USB headsets to be light and comfortable.. see if you can find a PC8 or PC16 model..

Now marketed by EPOS.

Reasonable price as well.. 😉

Many thanks to Drumcode, Funky D and Bert Pieke for replying so promptly. I will certainly look into your recommendations. 

Best Wishes for 2026.

Hi to Bert Pieke, just to thank you again for your recommendation re EPOS PC8 USB Headset, which I quickly sourced, and the package was delivered within 24 hrs.

Unfortunately  I will have to return them, and request a replacement set, as, on trying them with FSHUD, and then Beyond ATC several times, the results have been the sim CTD.

When I launched MSFS2020 today, there was a  Mandatory Update, which can sometimes cause  problems.

Many thanks again.

After msfs2020 issues were sorted out, my  EPOS PC8 USB Headset is working ok.

Just to add to this thread for any future participants I can recommend the Razer Blackshark v2 Pro - especially if you have a fat impressively proportioned head like I do. The metal bars in the headband are very robust which means opening the headphones up to place them on your head hundreds of times doesn't weaken any of the plastics. I've had to say goodbye to many very good headsets because of this issue - look at the way the ear pieces attach to the headband - if they're hinged or the attachment points look a bit thin, look elsewhere.  Your wallet will thank you!
