Desk Mic and Headphones or Headset?

[Fez___]

I was wondering whether I should get a desk mic and headphones or a headset.

I already have a pair of (shitty) headphones and have been using the (shitty) integrated mic in my laptop.

Should I save and get a £5 desk mic like this; http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000185ALA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1456101276&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=mic ?

Or should I spend more and get this headset; http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B016ZRWIHE/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A26F4W47PXR4PT ?
This headset is on sale for quite a lot.

Be carefull sometimes the original value of an item is greatly exaggerated. If you buy those headphones you will most likely be buying £20 headphones and certainly not £111. Although they have mostly good reveiws it wouldn't be a terrible purchase but you would be getting what you pay for. Do you have a set budget?

i dont think either of them are going to be all that good honestly as they look like knock off products. remember, if it sounds too good to be true it normally is.

as far as cheap mics are concerned the neewer bm700 is 22gbp and isnt terrible sounding
1:21 and after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TyhePriqhk sorry, its not in english but i think you can get a feel for it.
heres a video of the nw700 (not mb700) though perhaps they will sound similar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqI96QWnpKk

the zm-1 is only 8gbp and while its not great by any stretch of the word it may be sufficient for you if what you have now is truly junk. heres a review where he uses it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vee7upfjkM
