On splitter / mics / headphones: Jeenal have tried several setups, and the one we've found the most luck with is a Yeti mic. The killer feature is that it plays your own voice back with no delay when you plug your headset into the mic. This lets you hear the other person on the splitter much better. The directional settings also help reduce background noise a bit.
