Antlion Audio ModMic Wireless Attachable Uni- and Omni- Directional Microphone with Mute Switch, Compatible with Mac, Windows PC, PlayStation 4 and more

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.

Great product, used to upgrade the mic on multiple VR headsets. Only gripe is that it does not charge using USB-C, but this is expected giving it is quite an old product.

I bought this mic with the sole aim of sticking it to my Oculus Rift S headset, which has a terrible quality built-in mic. It was paired and charged out the box so as soon as I plugged it into a USB socket it worked straight away. Sound quality is very good. You can find examples all over YouTube: the sound quality holds up well even compared to dedicated, wired, desktop mics. The range is good enough for my VR setup and after accidentally leaving the mic on overnight, I'm pleased to discover the battery lasts for ages too. You can also use it while it is charging. The annoying flaw is the base is extremely optimistically designed. The interface between the mic and the base is a square of "triangular teeth" arranged around a neodymium magnet. It keeps the mic boom in place and points it to a specific orientation. It also allows you to rotate the mic 90 degrees at a time. The base is tiny: about the size of a small button cell battery. This means that if the mounting surface is not completely flat and optimal then there's virtually no chance the base is remaining stuck. The base is also round which makes it difficult to line up the orientation of the teeth with the mounting surface. The instructions recommend attaching the base to the mic, then squishing the whole assembly onto the mounting surface. Modmic could have saved themselves a lot of trouble and poor reviews by simply making the base larger and square. The base isn't visible underneath the mic in any case! In the end, I had to use a glue gun to get the base to stay put but the quality of the mic itself is flawless.

I use these with my Sennheiser HD700. The sound quality is excellent - I am always heard clearly, which is the most important thing. When I first attached this, the magnetic mount kept dropping over time. I decided to stick the spare mount on, but this time following the advice of leaving it for 24 hours before using. Since following those steps, the microphone does not move when attached.

Positives and negatives, which shouldn't really be the case at this price point. I would like to start with a statement about the sound quality on this mic - it is absolutely incredible considering the wireless and "headset-mounted" nature of the mic. For context, I am using this with my Sony WH-910N (wireless headset) that has fantastic noise cancelling and great audio quality on the headphones side, but the quality drops when I enable the mic and put it in headset mode. The ModMic attaches very easily with incredibly strong magnets, even to the soft rubber casing and allows me to run my headset in maximum quality "headphone-only" mode. The audio recording quality of the ModMic seems to be on a par with decent quality streaming microphones (larger ones on a boom) and several colleagues have commented that it sounds like I'm in a recording studio when I switch to this one from my office Plantronics headset and I'm in a small "bouncy" room with several fans, so a fair bit of white noise to cancel. Despite the slightly excessive price tag, I would buy another one of these as soon as they overcome the two main problems, but until then I would only give this a fairly reserved recommendation given the one main negative (and one minor one): Negatives: Minor nuisance, but the power connector is still micro USB: USB-C has been around for ten years now and mainstream on every high-end device that I've purchased in the last 8 years. I can only assume that the design is over ten years old as even budget rechargeable devices are all USB-C now. I'm really hoping that re-release a USB-C version soon, especially if they fix the main annoyance at the same time.... The main nuisance is the pairing "memory".... or complete lack of it! Every time your computer goes to sleep it will lose the pairing. The only way to avoid this is to remember to manually turn the headset off (2-3sec press on the power button) before the PC goes to sleep, then turn it back on when you start using it again. It will almost certainly unpair itself a lot and re-pairing is done by holding the dongle button for several (~5-10?) seconds and doing the same for the mic power button, which puts them into the high speed flashing that indicates pairing, which normally completes in a further 5-10sec, sometimes needs to have the USB dingle unplugged, re-plugged and repeated. This will result in around 20sec delay (sometimes 1min+) from the time that you realise your PC has been asleep and unpaired the mic until you can talk on a call.... very frustrating as sometimes happens several times each day. I've tried the ModMic Discord support channel and apparently there is no BIOS patch to fix this, it is "normal and expected behaviour". Once it is working, this mic is amazing... if you're using the PC all day, it's great and battery life seems to pretty good - they claim 11h and I'm sure I've used it continuously for 8h+ on a regular basis.... problem is that it just unpairs WAY too often, seemingly due to a fairly major design oversight which is really annoying given the seriously premium pricing of the unit. If I had to buy another right now, I would probably opt for the wired version... I don't need the mic all the time, so the inconvenience of detaching the mic to walk around with my wireless headphones still on is probably less than having to re-pair the mic so often. Bonus would be around 80% saving over the wireless.

I hate having self standing or on arm microphones, I feel like they get in the way, they're not THAT amazing and overall, I like to be able to walk around with my headphones and speak to people. This microphone is AMAZING, people I talk to don't realise it's a microphone mounted onto a pair of headphones/headset and think it's a studio quality microphone. I did have major connectivity issues before, however AntLion since did a recall and replaced everyones defected units and since then, flawless.

This device has been nothing but trouble since I opened the box. I have never in all of my history as a consumer been so upset by how utterly terrible a device was. **Pros** - When it works, it sounds great - The concept is great **Cons** - Constant syncing issues - It often gets itself stuck into a mode where it is attempting to pair with the receiver. It will sit there and blink until the battery runs out. If you try to hold the power button on it to turn it off, it does not work. The only thing that I have found that works is leaving it to run the battery completely dry which takes an extremely long time as it (to its disadvantage in this scenario) has a good battery, and the only thing draining it is that STUPID led on the right side of the headset. - They randomly decided that it would be more optimal to supply you with a case that you will likely never EVER use rather than give you a product life-time supply of the 3M glue/magnet pads that you need to put this thing on a set of headphones. I can appreciate the sentiment but overall, a very stupid decision in my honest opinion. - It will constantly register itself as a new input. So you end up with 8-Antlion modmicXXX where 8 is the number of times it has decided to register a new audio device. This happens on LINUX as well as on windows. I did most of my testing on windows because that is what I want to use this thing for, but with this issue I tried a second operating system to confirm it was not windows being stupid. - Absolutely zero indication that you are about to lose power except through the use of the lights that show up on the side of the headset which you can't see unless you have alien eyes, or on the USB, which you probably also can't see if you are a normal human like me and you plugged it into the back of the machine. So your options are either be without a battery indicator OR have a big ugly dongle permanently stuck into the front of your case. If you want a better recommendation than buying this microphone, promptly set two fifties on fire. You will at the very least be much less frustrated than I was having tried to use this STEAMING pile of garbage. If I could give a rating less than 1 out of 5 I would. This product is deserving of a negative 5 out of 5.

This product is way less finnicky than a wired modmic, and produces some great sound for a small headset mic. Unfortunately, it has major problems. One day, one of the pickup patterns stopped working entirely, and recently when charging it, it just died overnight unceremoniously. The durability for such an expensive product is terrible. I have a Blue Yeti which I'm now using instead that cost less, and has lasted 12 years. I would either get a gaming headset or a separate mic, it will be cheaper and better.
