Microphones (READ ONLY ARCHIVE)

Making music CD's with voiceover - which microphone is better - USB Desktop Microphone (PN 9801860403) vs Clearchat Pro USB Headset(PN 981000010) 

It would be great if Logitech compared their own products across categories but since they don't:

I am just starting out trying to make my own CD's with music in the background and talk voice over. Without starting at the top of the price charts with microphones these two products seem to be decent enough to get the job done for now...

There are lots of great reviews for both of these products as starters. But the price is almost double in some cases for the headset vs the desktop mic alone. Besides the obvious advantage of having the music pump into your ears while you are recording your voice, is there any reason why the Headset microphone would be better than the desktop microphone? Why pay double if I don't have to?

If you have used either of these or both or have another opinion, would love to hear it..
