The editors liked

  • Use with your favorite pair of headphones. Selectable cardioid or omni microphone pattern
  • Improved design over ModMic 4
  • Multiple cable lengths
  • Detachable mute switch
  • Better cable
  • Clear audio quality
  • Omni and Cardiod mics combined
  • Microphone detaches from cable
  • Two mic configurations
  • The omnidirectional microphone is one of the best-sounding headset mics I've ever used
  • Fairly easy to attach
  • And also to remove
  • More convenient than using a desk microphone for voice chat

The editors didn't like

  • Magnet mount could use a little more fine-tooth action for precise aiming
  • Still sensitive to EMI with cardioid capsule
  • Mute doesn't fully engage
  • Boom arm a bit too stiff (minor issue)
  • Y-adapter
  • Required for game systems and mobile devices
  • Is not included
  • Running two cables to your PC is obviously less elegant than one
  • Unsheathed 3.5mm cable has a tendency to hum in certain setups
  • More expensive than entire entry-level gaming headsets

  • 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...

  • 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 ModMic 5 solves a lot of problems for audiophiles. If you already spent $300 on a nice pair of AudioTechnica earphones, you don't have to go buy another pair that has a mic. Just add a $70 ModMic 5, and you'll have a high-quality recording solution wo...

  • Improved design over ModMic 4, Multiple cable lengths, Detachable mute switch, Better cable, Clear audio quality, Omni and Cardiod mics combined
  • Still sensitive to EMI with cardioid capsule, Mute doesn't fully engage, Boom arm a bit too stiff (minor issue)
  • The ModMic concept has always been intriguing and a worthwhile upgrade for anyone looking to convert their premium headphones into a headset. The magnetic clasp holds the mic in place, while at the same times, lets you fold the mic out the way when not in...

  • 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...
