Normally use TS on the iPhone, but for in game comms, I have now purchased this:
Ugreen 3.5mm Female to 2 Male Headphone Mic Audio Y Splitter Cable with Separate Headphone / Microphone Plugs, Aluminum Case 10cm, silver.
£5 from Amazon, and you can use the phones headphone/ mic to connect to the PC.

Cheers Darwin I've looked that up. Useful for future reference. My problem is the mic/phone connectors on the headphones. They're not detachable cables so I'd have to cut the cables , buy a pair of those screwable 3.5 mm jacks, find out which is Left right/ground on the wires (they're not always colour coded the same) and solder it all up and it's such a bad headset it's not worth it. I was wondering about a good cheap replacement headset. Any ideas anyone?

Logitech G230 http://gaming.logitech.com/en-gb/produc ... ng-headset

Can get them on sale pretty cheap. Removable earpieces for cleaning, don't put a lot of pressure on your head/ears and sit around the ears not on. Comfortable with glasses for long play sessions.

Cheers. Will still need to save a bit but from what I've read up about them they're well worth the little extra.

ALD losing a core Imperial system , the #1 naval base of Facece , worries me a bit.

If FD is re-enacting the fall of the Roman empire (with the Thargoids as the barbarian horde) then we should secure whatever we can when we can.

The faction of DP is particularly weak, wouldn't be surprised if they devolve into a minor faction and get replaced by the strongest up and coming player group as a power.

Time to stop dithering and relocate all my ships to Azrael. I really don't like the way the winds are blowing now.

They were the same price in PC World just across the road from me so I bought a pair. Sound really nice but I don't know how good the mic is yet. (Voice Attack keeps switching itself off?)

Fort Lawrence and MacMillian Depot both now have Order of Mobius missions available. Every other station and planetary base probably also has them.

Time to start on those and keep the influence growth going.

Well I find the Mic to be quite good and on teamspeak they say it's fine and clear. Some reports say it's a bit over sensitive, so you might want to look at your mic level in windows.....

And I have worn them for hours with no ear/head pain like I had with my original pair......

So yes I think they are great for the money.....
