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
Abstract: When we crossed paths with Antlion's ModMic 4 back in January 2016, we walked away considerably impressed. A year later, our enthusiasm only extends for Antlion's excellent new ModMic 5. That's primarily due to numerous user-requested enhancements Antlion...
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...

Great build quality, Easy to use, Multiple installation methods, Modular cable design, Modular in-line controller, Uni/omni switch, Excellent audio performance,
None, “The ModMic V5 offers unmatched flexibility with its modular cables and controllers, multiple mounting systems and virtually universal support. If you want to give your headphones the microphone upgrade they deserve, the ModMic 5 is the way to go!”,
PriceThe Antlion ModMic V5 is available from Overclockers UK for £67.99 on its own, which is noticeably more than the ModMic V4. However, we think it's more than worth the increased price due to the improved mounting system, the mode switch and more.Overv...

Abstract: What if you could keep your high quality ‘audiophile' grade headphones on for your full-day gaming sessions? This is the Antlion ModMic V5 – a relatively pricey solution to this truely first world problem – but is it worth it? Want one? OCUK: bit.ly/2jYcw...
Great sound quality, Magnetic clasp means the mic is not stuck to your headphones forever, Options included to prevent cable clutter, Omnidirectional and unidirectional modes each have their benefits, Flexible boom
No perfect solution to having an extra cable coming from your headphones
To test the ModMic 5 I used it as a gaming mic while playing online, and I also recorded myself talking with the ModMic to give you a demonstration of the audio quality.First, though, I want to touch upon the practicality of the ModMic 5. Antlion Audio ar...
