Antlion Audio ModMic Wireless Attachable Boom Microphone for Headphones - Compatible with PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, Any USB A Type

A bit late on the review for this microphone, but since the company haven't released any updated better version of this device this review should still be relevant. I bought this microphone back in 2021. I used it heavily for 4 years and to this day the battery life is still pretty decent after a full charge. I am still using it currently. I bought it mainly for VR usage. I attached the magnet to my VR headset and now it's got a dedicated mic and it sounds way better than the microphone my old HTC VIVE Headset. One of it's greatest strengths is that you can attach this mic to any current or future headphones that you buy. Most headphones that come with mics built in are usually crap anyways so to have the option to attach this high quality wireless mic to any thing is a big plus in my book. Sound quality is very decent. It's definitely a microphone just for communication so don't expect to sound like a $500 studio condenser/dynamic microphone. It's still way better than any $20-50 microphone just by sound quality and convenience. Battery life last around 6+ hours now so it has definitely dropped from the 12 hours when it was brand new. Still pretty good considered it was used heavily for 4 years. If you have any kind of audio interface or mixer software that can process the output from this mic. You can adjust it with noise gates, equalizers, compression, and all that good stuff which will make it sound like a $500 mic. That's something else you have to spend entirely, but it's something to keep in mind that you can do to improve the audio quality of this mic. My biggest issue with the mic is the charge times. It take like an hour or longer to fully charge. It's an old mic so it doesn't have any of the new quick charge features of todays smartphones and gadgets. It would be a great update feature if they ever do refresh this mic. When this mic does finally die I am definitely going to get another one.

If a professional headset mic (i.e. my Shure SM35-XLR) is a 10/10, then the wireless ModMic is a solid 8/10 for audio quality. The BEST Logitech headset mic is a 3/10 for audio quality by comparison. That's the kind of quality jump we are talking about. It sounds fantastic. There's absolutely no reason why you should buy a Logitech, SteelSeries or any other wireless gaming headset now that this thing exists. Seriously, just get a quality pair of open-back wireless headphones (recommendations below), attach the Wireless ModMic to it, and have the best sounding wireless gaming headset, and the best sounding headset mic in a relatively inexpensive pairing that you can't get anywhere else. If you think getting a $120 wireless mic and a $200 wireless headphones is too much money, consider this. If you buy a gaming headset and if the headphones goes dead, you have to replace the whole thing. If the mic on the headset goes dead, which is usually the first thing to go (my Logitech G933 only lasted 18 months, which has been a normal life cycle for all my wired gaming headsets), then you have to replace the entire headset. With a Wireless ModMic, you only replace the device that fails, not the whole thing. And this mic has no moving parts, so it won't get damaged as most gaming mics do. All my Sennheiser headphones have lasted for 3-5 years. You are going to be saving more money in the long run, and get a better sounding setup as a result. As for what headphones to pair this with, I recommend open-back headphones because there's no possible way to get no-latency sidetone (i.e. being able to monitor or hear your own voice through the headphones) with a ModMic. With open-back headphones you'll be able to hear yourself talk. I use the Sennheiser HDR 185 wireless headphones. You can buy the open-back Sennheiser headpones individually without the base station, and then buy the Sennheiser RS 175 RF which is the closed-back version of the headphones and the base station that has one or two more features that the station that is normally bundled with the HDR 185 does not have (bass boost, mainly). The RS 175 RF base station and headphones system pairs with the HDR 185 headphones, and it multicasts to both headphones meaning two people can be listening from the same base station at the same time. The ModMic comes with an extra attachment so you can use your ModMic with two headphones. So whenever I want to listen to music closed-back for sound isolation or open-backed so I can hear myself talk, getting one station and the two headphones works well. But whatever you choose to do attach this great wireless microphone to, just do it. Never buy a wireless gaming headset again. It's the best sounding wireless mic I have used that is practical. In the past I even tried using wireless lapel mics. It kind of worked, but the transmitter in your pocket is a drag, and the $300 RodeLink had too much hiss in the background. For those two reasons combined I stopped using the wireless headphone/lapel mic solution for high-fidelity communication. Yes, I've thought of and tried just about everything to solve the problem of gaming headsets with crappy mics, and the Wireless ModMic solved that problem once and for all.

Originally came out in 2018. In 2023, it's age is showing. It's Micro USB, and a slower charging. It's a little on the bulky side but not crazy. Pop filter works well, and the mic is sensitive which is good. Sound Quality is still It's strong suit, it's good quality for a wireless mic. It's solidly right below a 100-150 cardioid mic from audio technica. The customer service team told me early 2024 is the planned release of the newer version. If your buying around now in June or july, just get this version and be happy. If your later in the year, wait it out if you can until the new model. Still a good buy, even though I'd argue it's too pricy for how old it is. Go on their site and get a renewed version for $40 less, still get the 2 year warranty, and they definitely stand by their products you will not get screwed. Overall, I enjoy my purchase and use them with sennheiser hd560s. Note, you cannot use this standalone. Its apx, but internally with its dongle, you have to use the usb dongle to use the mic.

It’s amazing, the audio is awesome and connectivity is a breeze! 5 stars :)

Great mic, sound quality is clear but its not a studio mic so just remember that. I have been using this since 2021 now and its 2025, i use it all day every day for work zoom calls and all night for gaming on discord, never had any issues. Only down side is needing to charge it, but I have a long cable and use put an extra mount on my headphone stand, that turns it into a desk mic for when its charging. I would love to order a new one but the lack of USB C is holding me back ! Build quality has been good, No noise or hiss, and picks up my voice fine with voice activation, previously was using a Blue Yetti but it kept picking up all my keyboard noises so found this and have never looked back.

Used on an HTC Vive and corsair virtuoso headset. Attached to both fine and very convenient for switching between those devices easily. Would reccomend.

Scrivo una recensione perché a quanto pare devo essere uno dei pochissimi in Italia ad averlo acquistato. Si tratta di un microfono per realizzare degli headset "custom". Se ascoltate tanta musica e volete avere un audio di qualità ma anche dedicarvi al gaming o videoconferenze/streaming con una certa qualità audio mantenendo però un setup completamente wireless, questo è il microfono che fa per voi. Mentre tutti gli headset da gaming wireless propongono un audio di qualità accettabile (in alcuni casi comunque di qualità) a bassa latenza, tutti gli headset (ad eccezione delle corsair virtuoso) associano un microfono di qualità scadentissima. Non è colpa del microfono in se o di mancanza di competenze ma di limiti tecnici di diverso tipo, che vanno dalla questione latenza alla banda disponibile wireless (o un mix di entrambi). Per questo motivo, ogni microfono wireless degli headset ha una qualità veramente orribile, ad un bitrate spaventosamente basso. Questo microfono ha un suo ricevitore, si attacca al padiglione destro e propone una qualità praticamente perfetta per qualsiasi utilizzo, con un ascolto chiaro e cristallino. Dura 12 ore, si applica su qualsiasi superficie, il pairing è immediato e lo si può utilizzare in carica. Lo utilizzo con le Razer Blackshark v2 pro wireless, riuscendo finalmente ad ottenere un audio di qualità. Durante l'ultima chiamata su discord mi è stato detto "ti sento come se ti avessi davanti a me dal vivo". Costa, ma è sicuramente consigliatissimo. Vi consiglio di ascoltare da voi i vari test che si trovano su youtube per farvi un'idea.
