ABLET Boom Microphone Cable Compatible with Headphones AKG K240, K240S, K240MK II, Q701, K702, K271s, K271 MKII, Boompro Gaming Mic Compatible with Controller PlayStation PS4 or Xbox One, PC (150CM)

Perfect until, after five months, the mic and inline volume control breaks and causes audio cut-outs. I expect it will stop working entirely soon.

Hiernach hatte ich schon lange gesucht und nun endlich gefunden: Ein Mikrofonzusatz, um aus meinem AKG-Kopfhörer ein Headset zu machen (reversibel!) Passt am Android-Telefon und auch am Laptop, Adapter für getrennte Mikrofon- und Hörerbuchsen liegt dabei. Mikrofonaus-schalter und Lautstärkeregler funktionieren soweit, für die Verwendung am Android-Smartphone hätte ich die "Standard" Tastensteuerung erwartet, aber vielleicht funktioniert das am PC oder den inzwischen notwendigen USB-C-auf-Klinke Adaptern nicht (im Smartphone ist nun meistens keine Klinkenbuches mehr verbaut). Bei meinem Exemplar konnte ich kein Problem (zu eng) mit dem Steckverbinder zum Kopfhörer erkennen, das in anderen Rezensionen erwähnt wurde. Nach Befragung der Kollegen nach Telekonferenzen hiermit habe ich keine klanglichen Auffälligkeiten genannt bekommen. Lediglich der Windschutz ist schwer aufzustecken und verlässt das Mikrofon leider schnell wieder. Hier werde ich wohl nach einem WInd-/Pop-Schutz suchen müssen, der besser hält (evlt. länger ist ?) Alles in allem eine gute Ergänzung für meinen Kopfhörer, auch um die kleinen Ohrstöpsel zu vermeiden und unterwegs nicht auch noch das "Podcast" Mikrofon mitnehmen zu müssen; die Alternative (AKG Kopfhörer mit Mikrofon) ist bei weitem teurer und lohnt sich (noch?) nicht für mich. Zur Haltbarkeit kann ich natürlich jetzt noch keine Aussage treffen.

The volume control is pointless to include, but the mic sounds just fine. I've had no trouble with it whatsoever with my K240 Mk 2 headphones. Doesn't feel fragile or excessively stiff.

It works well on my AKG371, but beware trying to pull it out. When I attempt too it feels like once its in it won't come out without breaking something.

I purchased this microphone to use with my Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro headphones. They also use the 3 pin mini XLR found on an AKG headphone. I can confirm that this cable does work and that the channels are correct. Unfortunately, the connector on the Beyer is 90° clockwise in rotation compared to an AKG. This means that, instead of sticking out straight, the mic points toward your jawline when plugged into a Beyerdynamic. The mic can still be positioned into a usable and relatively transparent location. I tested it that way for a while and it still picked up just fine. Alternatively, you can open up the ear cup, slightly loosen the connector, and rotate it about 90° counterclockwise before tightening it back down. The DT 1990s are very user serviceable so the whole process takes only a few minutes. This fully rectified the issue. It's more comfortable and you gain the full range of mic positioning after this quick little tweak. From what I've found in my quick tests, the mic performance is terrific. Sound quality far exceeds my expectations from a relatively unknown brand. The thing that really surprised me was how well the mic stays in place. The Vmoda Boom Pro was decent but this is leagues ahead. If you move it to a spot, it'll stay there. Before I rotated the connector on my headphones I had maxed out its range of motion so I didn't get the full benefit. Now that the mic comes straight out, I enjoy some of the most flexible mic positioning I've ever experienced. The kit comes with the mic cable and a breakout cable for sound devices requiring separate mic and headphone IO. I haven't had to use this yet but it seems plenty capable. A basic Y splitter would have probably had better compatibility with more devices, though. If the ports are too close, the adapter has to kink to fit. Too far apart and it will either not work or it could potentially strain the jacks. I would personally ditch it and get a cheap Y splitter if you need it. There is no windscreen included. I read some of the reviews of the other versions of this mic and the general consensus is that the windscreen was too loose and would constantly slip off. I'm not too sore about it being excluded in this kit. It shouldn't be too hard to mitigate plosives either through an improvised pop filter or careful mic positioning. The inline controls seem fine. I did a test recording and toggled the mute. It didn't make any offensive pops. I would prefer it only be a mute instead of including the volume jogger but that's a matter of preference. All things considered, I am very happy with this mic cable. The sound quality is great, the cable feels nice, and it is a good length for my needs (it may be short for some situations). It's cheaper than most USB microphones or the wireless Modmic and is tidier than running another cable for something like the Modmic Uni. It's transformed one of my favorite headphones into an excellent gaming headset. Affordable, convenient, good quality. That's a 5 out of 5 for me.

I used the AK K240 Studio semi-open headphones, and they were excellent for FPS games and other types of games. The added volume control on the wire was helpful, the mic mute switch worked as intended. However, I had to speak a bit louder then usual for my friends hear. Mic didn't pick up music playing from my speaker, i dont blast my music. Had to fine-tune the mic/noise suppression using external means, but it still sounded good enough.
