Microphones

Gaming microphones from Turtle Beach start here, with the Neat Worker Bee II Wired Microphone in black. A separate mic is worth having when the boom arm on a headset makes your voice sound thin or distant, and it gives you dedicated kit for streaming, recording gameplay commentary, voice chat or podcasting. The range is small and focused, so choosing is simple.

The Neat Worker Bee II connects with a cable rather than wirelessly, which means no batteries to charge and no pairing to sort out before a session. It suits a desk setup where the microphone can stay put and you can keep the same distance and position every time you sit down. It was released in November 2021, so it is an established model rather than a new arrival, and the full details are on the Turtle Beach Neat Worker Bee II page.

A microphone works best as part of a wider setup. If you still need something to listen with, browse gaming headsets and the wider Turtle Beach range. For a PC desk, keyboards and PC hardware and upgrades sit naturally alongside a mic, and the main accessories collection has the rest of the extras for your setup.

Before you buy, think about where the microphone will live. A wired mic needs a free port and enough cable length to reach your console or PC, so check your desk layout first. Keep it away from loud fans and noisy keyboards if you can, since a mic picks up whatever is closest to it. Using the same position each session keeps your levels steady for viewers and teammates.

A mic also makes a sensible gift for a friend who has started streaming or chatting with a squad every evening. Add a headset to the same basket and you can put together a proper voice chat setup in one order. Free UK delivery and Reward Points on every order.
