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.

I bought a pair of DT 1770 Pros (the newer model) and they sound great, but they don't have a microphone. I had previously used a ModMic back in the day - maybe ~5 years ago or so. The microphone was alright, but the extra wire was a real pain. Fast forward to 2026 and I found out they have this wireless version. ModMic has an amazing reputation among gamers, so even though the price tag was a LITTLE bit steep, I decided to give them a go. Purchasing this mic ended up being a great idea. Installation was easy, even though I kept putting it off because I'd forget to do it before I quit for the evening. My wife helped - I wore them while she positioned and applied pressure with the adhesive for about a minute. I was a little worried that the slightly curved surface of the headphones would cause an issue, but after letting it cure overnight, that didn't end up being a problem. It feels solid, even when I pull the mic off the magnetic base. It doesn't feel like it's going to budge. Sound quality is also great. Much better than gaming headsets like Logitech G Pro Wireless and the Razer BlackShark v2 Pros. Like, significantly better. I'm using the cardioid setting, for reference. I don't have time to write a more thorough review but I was honestly so happy that this microphone exceeded my expectations and had zero jank whatsoever and I really wanted to put something up to support this company. In a space filled with garbage "gaming"-branded gear, this stands out. If you have a pair of headphones that sound great but don't have a microphone, and you need one for Discord/Teamspeak/whatever, consider getting this as a solution. If I have any issues with product durability or battery life, I'll update this review. But until then, I highly recommend this.

Update 10-12-2020: Just an update it's still working. The only issue that has developed since I got it is the longer the mic is off and charging, it takes forever to turn back on, almost as if it's dead, but continuously pushing the button it finally turns on IMPORTANT UPDATE 3-28-2019!! The useless slugs at Microsoft who couldn't develop their way out of a box released a buggy update at some point since the time I posted this review. The audio quality is dropped down to old telephone quality which sounds really awful. Simply doing the normal method of quality change through the icon on the bottom right and going into properties to change it simply doesn't work. It always reverts back to telephone. You have to change the quality settings through the control panel route. Well I've had my ModMic from 2016 and never had an issue but I've always hated the cable. It was long and rigid so it never really just flowed but, it was a small price to pay for a better headset setup. I was pretty stoked to see it come in a wireless flavor now and I got it for xmas. Pros: - WIRELESS! Not having that cable....it's like running around without underwear on. It's great. - Those new magnets, same size but man do they suck that mic down. I really like them. - Very simple intuitive controls. All on one button. Tap it to mute, hold it down for a couple seconds for on/off, simple as that, no extra crap needed. - Sound quality is what you'd expect from ModMic - Battery life seems to be fine, I just throw mine on a charger when it's not in use but I went 5ish hours so wasn't a huge deal. Due to location of the charger you can easily just plug a usb cable into your mic and keep on going, especially if your keyboard has a hub. However, downside will be listed in cons. Con: - The idea that you can charge your mic while playing, is great, but they give you a bulky rigid usb cable to do so. There's plenty of soft braided cables out there to make it less a pain to charge while playing, especially for the 120 dollar price tag. - The 120 dollar price tag is a bit of a bite to take. I got it for xmas so...I didn't have to worry about it. I don't think it's worth 120 at all given that: - The quality feel of things isn't what I'd expect for a 120 device. The plastics used are cheap and the wireless hub is huge. Plugging it into a hub on your keyboard results in the other port almost not being able to be used. The case it comes in REAKS of burned materials. They claim it's "normal in the manufacturing process" which is just a cop out excuse for "it's made in a Chinese factory with awful working conditions because we wanted to make sure we were able to get the most profit out of the 120 we're charging". Nothing I've ever bought smelled like it came out of a burning building before. It's a piss poor excuse and they should feel ashamed for defending it. - The hub only shuts off with the computer, unless you unplug it. Otherwise if you shut your mic off like you should, you get this irritating blue blinking light till you turn the mic back on. - QC obviously isn't there yet as the first one I received was defective. The switch to go to Uni-Directional was broke and didn't allow sound through so was basically just a mute switch. Pretty pathetic if you ask me, for 120 dollars. Other Thoughts: - While I do believe there were more cons than pros to this, especially given for the price you'd expect a top tier feeling device, I will say that ModMic was pretty quick to respond to the email I sent after xmas about it. They gave me a list of directions to go through for testing purposes but I felt it was pointless. The mic simply didn't work when switched, no testing is going to prove that wrong. They offered a replacement free of charge from their site but given it was time sensitive, Amazon overnighted me a replacement which was a better way to go. Having a wireless mic is pretty awesome, especially if you get a working one (which I did on my 2nd one) but the quality of it, the dead mic on my first order, there isn't 120 dollars here. Wireless technology is old at this point. Antlion has a very strong following, there is no excuse of "niche product" to charge this much to make up for low sales. Their low sales are going to come from it being so expensive simply because it's a wireless modmic. Nothing they did is any different than what's been done in the professional audio industry. Plenty of devices out there that are wireless using the APTX drivers that don't even cost this much. - I've included pictures of it attached to both my Audioquest Nighthawks and Focal Elear.

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

Great quality wireless mic! On par with the Rode PodMic.

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.

I use this mic like a lot of people, to augment my audiophile headset. I have a nice headset that plugs into a headphone amp. The headset has no mic, and the amp has no mic line in. For me, this wireless mod mic is the answer. It magnets to my nice headset, and doesn't require a mic line in port anywhere near by. It sounds amazing. I use this for work from home, so I take calls using it all day long. The battery has no issues getting through an 8 hour work day with heavy use. I have received compliments on my sound quality, and no one has reported any difficulty hearing me. I used the extra magnet base on the corner of my monitor. I can magnet the mic there, with the boom arm sticking up, and switch the mic to the omni directional. It now works fine as a mic that way if I feel like using speakers instead of my headset. My only gripe with this product is that it is very expensive. It is high quality, and has been reliable though, so I guess that's worth it. Antlion is nice to include a USB charging cable, a USB extension cable for the adapter if you need it, an extra magnet base, some extra sticky pads, and a nice zip up shell case for your mic and accessories. If you've got an audiophile headset you want to use for work/gaming then ModMic is the answer. If you're wired in to an amp with a mic line in, or you wire straight to your motherboard, I'd say get a ModMic 4 or 5. Attaching it's cable to your headphone cable is easy, and they both go to the same place. If you've got a wireless headset, or mic line in, like me, then this wireless ModMic is the way to go.
