Modmic 5.0 Attachable Boom Microphone GDL-0500

Truly an amazing piece of kit! This is the perfect option if you already have a decent pair of headphones or even a headset with a subpar Mic. It fastens to your headset via a Small magnet grip that sticks on with some supplied 3M tape. The audio comes though crystal clear and the microphone is flexible enough to bend and position into the perfect location for recording. There are 2 supplied wires (One long, the other medium length) that you can use to match your headset wire length, then you wrap the two together in a braided cable sheath, or via a few cable clips that hold the two wires together. The audio quality is very clear picking up the highs and lows of your voice easily while ignoring background noise considerably. Unidirectional mode however will pick up every keypress and mouse click, so make sure to turn this off via the slider on the front of the mic! You are also given lots of spares. You get extra Tape, a 2nd magnet, an extra foam pop filter, a carry case and even an inline mute button that clips on between the Mic and first wire. All in all a very solid product and worth every penny Pros : +Great Sound + Lots of Extras +Versatile Cons: - Sheath takes time to set up - Background noise

To be honest, I decided to buy this mic only because the solution they provide. Moreover, the sound quality is great, if you have a good sound card. However, this mic would be better if the mic can adjust the position (some mic can bent to your mouth and improve the sound quality.) and I can't feel the different between uni and omni directional. because the other sounds can detected by this mic. Need voice activation or noise gate software to solve this problem.

I like the design and the physical aspects, the mic quality itself is decent for its size when using omni mode, uni mode is pretty poor although the isolation does work. Testing it against a lapel mic that costs a fiver shows it being slightly better.. but not by much. You're really paying for the physical side of things which is a nice design, but it's definitely over priced. Given that the uni mode isn't so good I think I would go for a mod mic 4 and save the money if I had to do it again. Incidentally you can get this working with an audio interface, this mic works off 1 - 10v so phantom power does not work. However if you buy a Pyle plmc15 mic and use the gold adapter along with a 3.5mm stereo to mono converter (total cost about 12 quid) you can use your audio interface. I have to set the gain at around 75% so there is some background noise, but it's usable depending on your application and the quality of your interface.

The mic works well, but there was a lot of background noise at first, but that was due to the fact that I was using my motherboard soundboard. For best quality audio you would need a USB Soundcard at least (which is what I bought).

The product arrived damaged. The cable was worn through and torn. Replacement received the next day and that also had a broken cable. Ended up have to buy a separate cable which is now fine. Sound quality is good and was easy to set up. Just a shame that more care isn't taken when putting the product together

The Mod Mic 4 Omnidirectional was a great product, but unfortunately it's now discontinued; they knew it was the superior product. It was cheap, (£25-35) and sounded absolutely great. On this version, you are forced to pay for the useless unidirectional mode (which just sounds bad), and not only that, but the Omnidirectional mode sounds WORSE than the mod Mic 4 Omnidiectional. Like Jesus Christ. You're now paying ~£55 for a mic that sounds worse than a previous, cheaper version, but also sounds worse than headset I bought in 2014 that cost me £25. I love the idea, but the Mod Mic 5 is just bad... I wouldn't even mind that much if it just sounded the same as the Mod Mic 4 Omni, but it's worse... and costs double the price... Wish I could just buy the Mod Mic 4 Omni again but the only version available now is Unidirectional (and Mod Mic 5), which just doesn't sound as good. Way to kill a great product.

Amazing quality mic and mounting system is really good. Kit comes with all the bits needed. Build seems good and using it most days for the last few months and haven't had any issues. Minor improvement would be a longer cable for the mic when using it with a standing desk. For the price I wish it came with a mic and headphone adapter to a single 3.5mm jack.

Good but most users may need to buy an external USB sound card like the sound blaster g7 for high end or some thing like the tecknet usb mini soundcard. To reduce noise coming through the line. Else a fantastic product. Else 5 stars

Qualità audio veramente elevata, accoppiato con delle buone cuffie audio si ottiene un headset completo di gran lunga superiore a quelli gaming che troppo spesso integrano microfoni di qualità scadente

La caja me llegó destrozada, por suerte el micro tenía su estuche y no le pasó nada y funciona muy bien como debe

Ich persönlich nutze das Mic in Verbindung mit den Bose QC35 II und bin absolut zufrieden. Das Mic lässt sich mit Hilfe der Magnet/Kleber Halterung ohne Probleme und Rückstände an dem Kopfhörer befestigen. Dank austauschbarer Kabel ist ein Kabelbruch auch kein großes Problem. Die Sound Qualität ist gut und reicht für jeden "Otto-normal" Benutzer vollkommen aus. Einzig allein der Fakt, dass sich das Mikrofon bei mir nicht ohne Mini-USB DAC/Adapter betreiben lässt sorgt anfangs für etwas Ernüchterung. Da es solche Adapter aber bereits für 2-3 Euro gibt möchte ich hierfür keinen Stern abziehen.

SAVE YOUR MONEY, BUY THIS BABY, AND PUT IT ON YOUR FAV SET OF CANS !!!! Please read on :)) I was hesitant at first until I watched a few YT videos. The install was easy peasy, and it works great !! The main thing that attracted me to the mod mic 5.0 was the fact that I could make MY headset, a gaming headset. And I know it works great on the other end because whenever I go online to play some BF4, I always do a comms check with the squad I'm on. Never heard anyone say "not coming through clear", or "it sounds like you're talking in a tin can", or "can hardly hear you man", or ......You get the point here. Everyone I've asked for comms checks said "coming through loud n clear", or "perfect". Another huge plus to the modmic 5.0 is its versatility. Also, included is 2 base magnets to put on another headset. I have my Bose QC25's and my Mass Senns HD6xx. So I put a magnet on both. I also used the included wire sleeve [6 feet of it, so I will do the same to my HD6xx's], to keep the wires bundled and neat. You get plenty of wire clips for cable management too. The hard case is Much appreciated because you can keep any accessories you're not using, safe and together so you'll know where to find the parts if you need to mod your setup. I'm not a technician so I don't travel with my mic. It stays at home. But the hard case keeps all parts together in one place Everything is well made. If you're a gamer [competitive or not], and want to take your participation to the next level, get this mic. You won't be disappointed.

They sound amazing, I've been very excited to ditch my old microphone for these and free up a lot of room on my desk! I've paired them up with a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M40x monitoring headphones for am amazing sound and microphone quality. Over my other choice of Razer Kraken V2's
