I see kits for $64.99 and up towards $350.00.

What would you guys use for audio mic use for PC? It has the U174 male plug currently.

TIA.

In my opinion, you'd be money ahead just buying a 3.5mm headset of your choice to use with your PC.....

A David Clark is a "LITTLE" overkill for that usage. Any adapter is gonna be some bucks.

And, you don't want to go in with the wire cutters and a soldering iron to rewire in a 3.5mm jack....

You could sell the headset and buy something better suited....

Aviation headsets are higher impedance than PC stuff.  My guess is that they wouldn't be very loud.

OP, what is the motivation for using a DC headset with your PC? LARPing stuff?

A plain vanilla DC headset is the meat and potatoes solution for flying aircraft. The weight and clamping force is the price one pays for hearing protection. But if you need a headset for a PC, just buy a $20 USB headset from Amazon. It will be super comfortable and probably sound better for both receive and transmit than the David Clark.
