Microphone to combine with Sennheiser HD650 headphones

Does anyone have a microphone they would recommend me to "clip" on a pair of Sennheiser HD650 headphones which I will be using for gaming?

I have a really hard time finding one, and I want something with good quality and not something with crappy quality and scratching sound..

I don't have any recomendations for you, and this might be difficult.  Good quality mics (low impedance balanced) don't interface directly with a computer's high-impedance input.  So, you might need a preamp or mixer, and then if you can't use the line-in instead of the mic input, you 'd need an attenuator in-betweeen the preamp/mixer's line-out and the computer's line-in.

You best option is probably to get a good-quality "gaming headset".

If it seems worth the cost and the effort to work-out the interfacing, B&H has tons of pro audio equipment, and they might have a pro mic that can clip-onto your headphones.
