Conclusion and Verdict
When I first knew I would be receiving the Antlion Audio ModMic USB Microphone. I thought to myself how is this supposed to be attached to the headphones. My main concern was of course, “man is this going to ruin the aesthetics, or even damage the headphones?” I did not do any recon before these arrived. I wanted my true reaction to the way these attached. As I began to go through all the accessories I saw all my questions being answered. Antlion thought of everything. These will attach to any set of headphones seamlessly and without causing any damage. I also thought the clasps that you can use to hold the wires together was brilliant. I saw those and was relieved I wasn’t going to be using zip-ties or tape to attain clean cable management. Thumbs up! So as far as how these mount to headphones I can say, easy and intuitive.
Now for the mic itself. The mic quality is actually very good. I gathered the opinions from several people and they actual preferred that mics sound over my current gaming headset. The directional function seems to its job very well because I had no complaints about background noise. I like the fact I have an inline mute switch just incase background noise does make its way through. The magnet that holds mic is a very strong magnet. But on thing I did notice it did come apart a couple of times when I was adjusting the microphones position. So keep that in mind if you go to quickly adjust the mic position closer or farther away from your mouth. Now as far as flipping the mic up out of the way, that worked flawlessly. The strength of the magnet and the design of the clasp make for a great ratcheting feel. The movement is smooth yet there is a noticeable feedback feeling when the mic is latched into place.
Is Antlion Audio ModMic USB Microphone practical? That’s for you to decide. The answer could go both ways. By no means is this setup cheap, but if you have a set of expensive high end headphones that has no voice capabilities, this makes perfect sense. Yes, you could find a gaming headset for the same price everyday of the week. But keep in mind these are designed to be an add-on and the mic works just as good, if not better, than most of those gaming headsets. So if you have a 400 dollar set of headphones like me, than this make perfect sense. No need to accumulate a separate headset for gaming, now I can utilize my favorite set of headphones!
