I need to record voice on my PowerPoint Presentation. I purchased a headset
but the voice recording is of poor quality. Can you recommend a headset to
record quality sound?

While it could just be a poor quality mic, you might want to use the change
quality button to change the recording quality (to maybe the highest mono
setting)

Did that answer the question / help?

Along with what John suggests, you may want to try making your recording
outside of PowerPoint, using something like the recording program that
usually comes with your sound card. Results are normally quite a bit better.

You may want to invest in a nice lavilier (lapel) microphone. Also,
for PC recording go with a USB microphone as opposed to a 1/8 mini
plugged into the sound card. Plugging into the sound card directly may
pick up more PC noise.

Here's a good round up of microphones:

Good luck.
