Antlion Audio ModMic Uni 2 Attachable Noise-Cancelling Microphone with Mute Switch, Compatible with PCs, Gaming Consoles, Handheld Devices, and More

I work remotely and am on calls from my PC throughout the day. This new ModMic has been a huge upgrade for me, personally and professionaly. No longer am I wearing the ghastly mid-grade work-supplied "gaming" headset which squashes my ears, aches my head, garbles my voice, and saps my very will to remain conscious at all, which of course affects the various meetings I'm forced to be in. No longer - enter the ModMic!I've had it hooked up for a very short time to my beloved Sennheiser open-back over-ear headphones, and already it's a huge improvement to both the general quality and clarity of calls (excellent audio from the ModMic, and of course studio-grade audio from the Senns - how do people tolerate these gaming headsets I cannot fathom), and a big improvement to my general demeanor. Colleagues have already commented on these positive changes!The simplicity of the design is appreciated: while previously I was sporting the garish and distracting neon green (and *glowing*, for heaven's sake!) gaming headset, with a massive boom mic in front of my face (to what end do they make these mics so BIG -- why? Do they imagine their target consumer feels the need to subtly overcompensate for diminished stature elsewhere?), the ModMic is stylishly and confidently minimalistic yet eminently functional. As my colleagues in the UK would say: "it does what it says on the tin" and it does it elegantly.The build quality is excellent. The design is thoughtful - spare clips included so you can use the ModMic on multiple sets of headphones without any fuss. Ample cable length, with clips to lead it along my existing headphone cable - no further mess of individual cords. Easy mute switch well-located. Cord non-tangly so far!Thank you AntLion Audio team for designing and building an excellent product with the ModMic Uni 2. Highly recommended.

Finally got the mic to stick to my headset. Had to use super glue. What comes with the mic is garbage.Now that I can test the mic, it sounds horrible. Comparable to a $5 headset from a call center.Feels good gluing a $5 mic to my $400 headset.

For context I have paired this with an Audio Technica ATH R70x (a Japanese open-back reference headphones with good soundstage and positioning that is being sold on amazon for about $350). The mic is used mainly for gaming. The headphones for music listening and gaming. Both are connected to a Sound Blaster AE-9 (a really nice sound card).I purchased this mic to keep my current headphone (love its sound signature) and avoid mayor spending on a good combo set.So as a gamer perspective, great audio quality as is! My Helldivers 2 team actually noticed the improvement and clarity of my voice and asked my if I had changed my mic. I haven't used any audio enhancement from my sound card.This mic falls to the expensive side of the spectrum as you could buy a cheap lavalier mic for $10 of a full headphone + mic gaming set for the price of this mic. However you could also spend 20 times it's price and only get a 30% improvement on specs.... That doesn't necessarily makes it worthwhile but this is not the most expensive stuff.By the way, regarding quality, I was explained by may teammates that you could get away with a cheaper alternatives by enhancing audio with software. However on gaming you want your compute resources dedicated to get more FPS.The sticker that comes with te mic is good enough. I have been using it since the end of September 2024 without failing.The mic doesn't add noticeable weight to the headphone. My headphones are very light weighted so this mic is perfect for me.

I'm not super impressed with this, but it works okay.The audio quality is intelligible (and a huge upgrade from bluetooth mic audio) but nothing you'd want to use for even semi-professional recording.The boom is stiff hard to adjust, but reasonably stable once you get it how you want it. The most annoying part was getting it to stick to my headphones, though - as other reviews have mentioned, the included adhesive disks are completely useless and do not stick to any surface, no matter how clean. I cut out a piece of Command wall-hanging strip instead, and that worked quite well.Clips are included to keep the microphone and headphone cords hooked together, and these fit my headphone cord just fine, but I don't think there were nearly enough of them in the package to really keep the cords from getting tangled and snagged, so I might have to augment them with velcro ties or something.As a way to add a mic to a high-quality pair of headphones for gaming in particular, I think this product succeeds at what it's trying to do. If you like to hear your games in high quality, but are having trouble finding a pair of good headphones that includes a mic, then this lets you bodge a mediocre mic onto essentially anything. Don't expect it to be professional-quality, though.I ultimately feel like this product is a little on the overpriced side for what it is. I would expect similar quality from an entire headset that cost this much, but here you're only getting a microphone and a rather inadequate set of mounting accessories that you will have to DIY your way around. I think it was still worth it to me as a way to make my good headphones conveniently usable for online gaming, but I wouldn't consider it a particularly good value.
