DO YOU NEED A SPECIFIC TYPE OF HEADSET/MIC TO USE SKYPE?

no, any mic or headset will do it with the speakers. you will not need to specify what you have in skype. skype just knows its a headset.

the usual headset would work.. i use the regular ones, and sometimes only the mic coz mine has a built in speakers and it works very well… you just have to worry about the signal or connection because sometimes it gets chappy and stuff… anyhow, there’s a skype test call.. you can test your headset there if it’s working well or not..

Anything that will with you sound card, will work with skype….. and that’s anything with the right socket on the end!
You don’t have tp be ripped off in places like PC World either for a logitec X250 super mic 2000 or whatever….. a couple of quid should do it.

The others have answered your question.
But forget Skype. Try Freecall instead.
Cheaper and FREE calls to UK landlines (as well as USA, Australia, Spain, Eire etc. etc..)

If your computer has Microphone and speakers-Then you’re good-to-go!
A web cam is useful when talking to family or close friends(Just make sure the connectors are compatible with your computer)

It does not need a specific headset or mic. Anything that records sound on your computer and anything that outputs sound from it will work.

It is called Logitech I ordered mine off of the Skype website about $20.00 .

Any old mic and speakers will do! I am using a cheap one! Works great!

No. just any one…..but can buy good one for better sounds quality….
