ModMic Wireless Attachable Gaming Mic for Headphones, PC, VR / Quest, PS5

This is the second Mod Mic I've ever used, I didn't like the wires of the older Mod Mics. Mod Mics are still a bit new to me, never used them until I've recently upgraded my audio setup for my PC, I wanted to start with a new setup, mostly for longevity (Headphone + separate Mic), instead of traditional headsets. So far this is the most convenient Mic I've ever used, because of the seamless wireless connection and of the magnets. What's included: - Wireless Mod Mic (Nearly 8 inches) - USB Dongle (Slightly below 2.5 inches) - USB A to Micro USB charging cable (5 ft) - USB Extender cable, for the USB Dongle (3 ft, 4 inches) - Zipper carrying storage case - 2x Magnetic Base Clamp - 2x Sticky circle pads - 1x Sticky cable management holder (For your USB Extender cable, if you choose to use it(?)) - User Manual/Pro Tips sheet - "Read this!" Installation Guide paper Pros: 1. You only have to pair the device once - For example, after you restart your PC for an update or something, the Mic and it's USB dongle will simply auto-reconnect and be ready to use without having you to do anything else. 2. Wireless Magnetic Connection - Since the Mic is wireless with a magnetic connection, you can simply pull it off and stick it onto any metallic surface that is close to you. Such as your own PC's case, metal bars on or next to your desk, etc. I think it is useful for situations of when you don't want to wear the Mic, such as eating at your desk and you don't want to get your Mic dirty. All you gotta do is pull it off and stick it onto somewhere close to you, when you are done with eating or whatever else, you can just grab it again and pop it back on your headphones. 3. Usage while Charging - You can also use the Mic while it is charging, for this reason, I recommend to anyone with the Mic to place it on the right side of their headphones. So that the charging port is facing down, it would feel a bit awkward to have the cable coming from the top, and that will force the cable connection to possibly bend and cause damage. But the Mic also comes with 12 hours of battery, so it is unlikely that you will run into the problem of charging it while using it, but mistakes can happen and sometimes we forget to charge it, so it would be a good idea to think ahead, just in case. 4. Superb Voice Quality - All of my friends says my voice is a lot clearer than before, when I was using headsets. The Mic can go up to "1 channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz" in sound settings. 5. Plug & Play - No software installation required, just plug everything in and it is ready to go. 6. A really long battery life - Self-explanatory. Cons (More like "Could be improved" or just inconvenience): 1. Mute button requires some pressure - The mute button that is in between the 3 lights on the Mic requires quite a bit of pressure to be pressed down. You can't just lightly push the button to mute, If there's a level of pressure of between 1-10, with 1 being really light touch and 10 being enough pressure to push your whole head before it activates, I'd say it is at 7. 2. A really solid adjustable Mic wire - That adjustable wire between (not sure what to call it) the 3 lights and the microphone itself at the front, it is a really solid piece of wire/tube, which is a good thing, but a bit TOO solid. The magnets that hold the Mic up is strong enough to keep it attached, but not enough from external pressure, such as from your hand. So when you want to adjust the mic position, you have to use two hands, otherwise, you would accidentally push the Mic itself off and it would fall off. Neutral: 1. Mic Status - The 3 lights on the Mic indicates Connected (Blue), Muted (Red), and Charging (Yellow), you can't really see the status of your Mic unless you pull it off and look at it or look at the USB Dongle (Such as muted). You do get a USB extender cable to extend the reach of the USB Dongle, for if you don't want to plug it straight into your PC's USB ports. But if you don't want to use the cable, I would recommend that you plug the Dongle to the frontal or top side of USB ports that are on your PC case, if applicable. In case you don't want to plug it to the backside, where you can't see the lights on the Dongle to check status. A little addition I think that could make it slightly better: I think the USB Dongle should have a little magnet too, because when you're not using your mic (completely off), the dongle will just keep blinking until it is reconnected. So to prevent constant usage, they should add a little magnet to the dongle too, so that you can just pull it out of your USB port and stick it onto your PC case, then grab it and plug it back in when you're using your Mic again. Overall, I am very satisfied with this Wireless Mod Mic, I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is using Headphones + separate Mic setup and wants the freedom of choosing what you want to do with your Mic, it is a lot better than headsets. The Cons & Neutral aren't much of a deal-breaker to me, they are just things that could be improved to make it an even better Mic.

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.

Overall this mic has been a great quality of life product for me. I can't understate how much versatility it provides being able to slap this on any pair of headphones I want. Audio quality is about the best you will get for an attached mic, and not being tethered to an extra wire (most of the time) is extremely convenient. There's just a few annoying issues that keep me from giving it a perfect rating. First off, micro USB? Are you kidding? This is the only piece of hardware I use that still takes micro USB. I can't just use one of the dozens of USB-C cables I have. No, I have to have one specific cable for this. It might as well be a completely proprietary cable as far as I'm concerned. Even the cheapest new hardware now has USB-C ports. Not only is this mic quite expensive but it was released well into the phase of most new hardware adopting USB-C as the standard. There's no excuse for this. It's just cheaping out on what should be a premium product. Second, the power button is awful. You tap the button to mute, which works fine, and hold to power on, but to power off you have to hold the button for 3 seconds and let go at the exact right time, otherwise it just doesn't work. The timing is extremely tight and even after owning this mic for 3 years, I still find myself fighting to turn it off for 30 seconds or so sometimes. Please just give me a regular power switch. Third, the mic sometimes just disconnects from the dongle and I have to redo the pairing process. This is quite rare, probably happens once every few months or so, but it's just another annoyance I'd rather not have to deal with. As a final note, regarding battery degradation, after 3 years of fairly heavy use and often leaving the mic plugged in when not using, it certainly feels like I have to charge the mic more often then when it was new. I couldn't give any sort of exact measurements for how long it lasts now compared to when I first got it, but I definitely find the mic dying at inconvenient times more often than I used to, and I spend quite a bit more time tethered to a cable as a result. Battery degradation is to be expected with any battery powered product really, so I don't hold this as a huge knock on the mic, but I would appreciate a better battery indicator than just a yellow light when it's low and maybe some battery health/optimization features to prolong it's lifespan, as well as making the battery easily replaceable. I really wish I could give this product a full 5 stars, but these issues keep me from having the fully seamless experience I think this mic should have at it's price point. It's so close to being something that "just works" and makes me wish it just went that extra last mile to achieve it.

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.

Let's get this out of the way right up front. The only reason this mic is great and popular with buyers is because there is no other competition for this device. It sounds pretty good, however that's about all the "great" aspects of this mic. There are more downsides which will become apparent to you after roughly a week of using it. The Battery is only good for a few hours at a time. If you are using this for class or work during the day, and gaming in the evening, then you will find that the battery in this microphone will not hold up to the full days use. You will frequently have to charge this thing, and it does not charge fast, having only a MicroUSB connector for charging. You can use this device while the USB is plugged in, however, Antlion os obviously not familiar that standard hedphones have the cable on the LEFT side. The USB port on this mic points UP if you use it on the left side ear cup, meaning you cannot route the USB cable with the headphone cable, unless you have one of the few headphones out there with a cable on the right side. This is such a simple thing to think about, but only hints at the minimal effort that went into making this an acceptable product. The mic boom is a rubbery stiff cable allowing you to bend it in any way you choose. However, if you adjust it even slightly, the glue inside the body of the mic breaks, and the mic boom will wiggle ever so slightly.... but it will wiggle. No, there is not a fix unless you tear it down to the circuitboard and re-glue it. The mic will always turn itself on. Whenever it's plugged in, whenever it's unplugged, whenever you hit the button... Oh... the button. That's another thing. To turn it off, you have to hold the button for EXACTLY 2 seconds. If you even think about holding that button for 2.00001 seconds, it will go into pairing mode for roughly 45 seconds. Why? Why is there a pairing mode that's so easy to get to? it can't pair with other bluetooth devices, it can only pair with the USB dongle, so what's it even searching for? You will do this EVERY time you want to turn the mic off. I promise you. Also, the dongle blinks incessantly when the mic is off, so i hope persistent flashing lights don't bother you, because this thing does not stop blinking! Overall, the mic has great sound quality, but many of the design choices make it a hard mic to recommend, because the usability of the mic can be just short of maddening. I guess i'd say it's a decent mic to get, but the only reason i can say that is because of the decent microphone quality, and because there is literally no other competing mic on Amazon. I would also add, at over $100 USD, i expected a LOOOOT more quality in the build. This thing probably cost $15 for Antlion to make based on the quality of the assembled product. If you can handle the cabled mics, i'd say go for that, because the convenience of this wireless mic is very short lived...

This is about the best wireless mic you can get for your headphones. It works really well, and setup is easy. Sound quality is lots better than my last boom mic, and about as good as a Blue Yeti for simple voice comms. The sticky magnetic bits work well on most headphones, but not at all on a perforated and very round headphone. It did stay on a perforated flat headphone though. Love that I can add a good mic to my favorite headphones without running extra wires. Dislike the the power/mute button setup. You hold down the button a couple of seconds to turn it on/off, but you're supposed to tap it to mute as well; getting the timing right to turn it off is some times frustrating. Wish there was feedback when the mic is muted. The red light comes on to indicate mute, but since the light is at the base of the microphone, by your ear, you're never sure whether you're muted or not without taking the mic off and looking at it. Taking it on and off headphone and getting it back in the right position is easy thanks to the design of the magnetic holder. At over $100, it's an expensive mic, but this has been a good addition to my setup and I'd probably buy it again if given the choice.

I was using the ModMic 4.0 with my Sennheiser HD800 headphones. Gaming headsets always sound like trash so I was happy that the ModMic gave me good microphone audio without having to compromise headphone quality. The cable was so annoying though. It was rigid and would always get caught under my office chair or tangled with my legs and/or headphone cable. The ModMic Wireless solves those problems. PROS: -It's wireless. This is the only reason I made the purchase. The cord was really annoying -The mic can be switched between omni and uni-directional. I found that omni-directional sounded better for me. -Uses same magnet mount as the wired version. The sticky pads on the magnet mounts aren't great and replacements are way overpriced so I had to superglue mine to my HD800's when it fell off. For this reason I'm SO glad the mounts are the same and I don't have to pry off the superglued magnet. CONS: -My gaming friends said it doesn't sound as good as the wired version in discord. -Sticky pads on the magnet mount are weak. Had to superglue it to my headphones after it fell off. -Price. It costs more than twice as much as my wired ModMic. Seems a bit steep -You have to have install it on the right side so the charging port faces down if you want to be able to use it while charging with the included USB cable. I hate the mic on the right side so I will never be able to use it cabled/charging. UPDATE: -1 more star because the battery life is poor. I have had so many times where I'll be talking in discord and nobody is responding because the microphone died. The 12 hour battery life claim is not true. I get about half of that. NEW UPDATE: 12 days after the 1-year warranty ran out it started having pairing problems. It would disconnect and become unpaired. Re-pairing would only last seconds to minutes before it would stop pairing again. For the high cost, it shouldn't have failed so quickly. Also the quickly diminishing battery life was a big downside.

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.

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.

ok so it costs a pretty penny, it does however offer versatility in being able to be used on multiple items which i use it for. i swap between 3 sets of headphones. quality of the microphone is great not excellent but better than all the gaming headphone mic combos i have tried in the past.

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.

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.
