Guys, i'm little confused with headphones with built-in microphone and headsets with microphone (ie headset with microphone separetly attached) .

I want a headset to speak in Skype. i have desktop system. (no laptop) so no built in mic in the system.

The normal computer headset have two pins. one for audio and another one for mic.

My question is, the 'headset with built-in mic'
like this one "Sony MDR-ZX110AP Wired Headset"
has how many pins?? may i use this for Skype call (Speak and listen) ?

will it be work in skype for desktop system? or only work in laptops (built-in mic)

or i have to buy a computer headset like the telecaller headset for skype?

Headsets come: Over the ear, on the ear and in the ear. They have connections with pin plugs and USB connection.
Prices vary between $20 and $300 so it depends on your budget and preference.
I have a USB connected Studio set, Corsair Vengeance 2100. not cheap and not the most expensive.
Skype does not depend on the headset. Choices Choices!!!
