Q: i have troubles connecting the mic
Hi I bought a predator draco hs850 headset and they work as headphones only but the mic doesnt work. They don't use usb but the other two wires. Can I make the mic work?

Sounds like the headset has two 3.5 mm plugs and you have the earpiece correctly plugged into the headphone jack but the mic plugged into the line-in audio input jack. That jack is for an amplified signal. The headphone jack on a mac incorporates a contact for a mic. See:

If that is your case you need one of these:
