I'm torn. If you're an audio snob and have an expensive pair of headphones kicking around, the ModMic could be interesting. It's certainly a better solution than using a Blue Snowball/Yeti or some other desk mic as your voice chat input, especially in noi...

Abstract: The PC and console gaming headset industry often sees manufacturers prey on uninformed consumers and sell overpriced units that simply don't sound good or feel comfortable when compared to a decent pair of headphones from manufacturers like Sennheiser or...
Antlion Audio's ModMic 5 is meant to provide gamers with a convenient, high quality attachable microphone, and it does exactly that. The ModMic 5 is one of the rare products I've used that leaves me with practically nothing negative to say about it. Antl...

The Antlion Audio ModMic 5 lets you turn any pair of headphones into a gaming headset, and can switch between omnidirectional and unidirectional modes on the fly...
So in my testing, there were a few things I was considering. Is the ModMic 5 as good as the previous models? Is it a good option for someone who wants a gaming headset but with proper audiophile quality headphones and microphone? Also if it is an improv...

the ModMic 5 is a solid improvement on the ModMic 4, although none of its improvements are revolutionary. The ModMic 5 is currently priced at $70 on Amazon, making it somewhat expensive, but there is also a lack of comparable products for it to compete...
