flexible liquid cooling support click now to learn more at long last here it

00:00:15.799 --> 00:00:22.920
is finally guys personal rig update number 16 no I'm just kidding this is my

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:26.599
mod mic followup so when I originally unboxed the mod mic which is the

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:30.160
detachable microphone that you can put on the side of any headphones as you

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:35.160
guys will probably know if You' been watching me for any period of time I'm

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:37.360
not a huge fan of most gaming headsets

00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:42.200
because generally speaking they skimp on the actual audio quality in order to

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:46.360
tack a mic onto them so what I often recommend people do is use a pair of

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:51.640
headphones in this case these are stenis or HD 555s which I used to use and use

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:57.719
something else as a microphone such as a blue desktop microphone or the mod mic

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:01.840
this is the Rev 3 one now aside from promising a followup back when I did the

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:06.920
unboxing I also made some mistakes when I did the original unboxing I didn't

00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:08.759
really configure it right so for example

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:12.920
this uh this little clip right here is actually for clipping to the mod mic

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:16.520
itself to reduce stress on the cable not for clipping to the cord of your other

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:20.079
device so I would actually recommend doing that in some other way I also

00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:23.040
didn't really configure it correctly in terms of the positioning you want to

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:28.560
make sure you get things right beforehand you don't want to kind of like bend it too much and then unbend it

00:01:26.119 --> 00:01:31.880
and rebend it and other than that that was sort of most of the problem the good

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:36.479
news is you have a second chance cuz they do include another little magnetic

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:41.720
piece so you can always kind of Reiger it yourself um and so I never provided

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.600
that audio sample that I promised to provide because that was the big

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:48.640
question from people is okay there's a solution where I can have better sound

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:54.719
for myself but what about the people on the other line so for those guys the

00:01:52.119 --> 00:01:58.759
good news is the mod mic rev 3 does have a list of sound cards that it works with

00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:02.039
the bad news is some onboard Audio Solutions in particular it is not

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:07.119
compatible with so when I found out where we were getting an ASUS Zonar febus which happens to be on the list of

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:11.640
approved sound cards which you can check out on their website which is linked in the video description I was like oh

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:18.640
that's great now I'll be able to do my mod mic followup and then I didn't really bother trying to find another

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:21.000
solution but this sat in the kitchen for

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:24.640
like two and a half months while we were prepping and working on and planning and

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.920
I didn't unbox it yet and then we were doing our extreme Overkill byus guide

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:33.080
etc etc etc until finally then it sat on my desk for a little while longer until

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:39.840
I finally installed it in my work computer and recorded the test audio

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.879
clip so without further Ado the mod mic

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:47.319
the most compelling social media cataract is to truly comprehend the

00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:51.959
expansive landscape from an editorial Viewpoint during an aspiring potato's

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:56.280
early career so there you have it guys it slices it dices it allows you to

00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:59.080
transfer it from one pair of headphones to another you can actually get

00:02:57.640 --> 00:03:03.879
additional little Clips if you want I know they're working on a rev four that's going to be even better you can

00:03:02.200 --> 00:03:06.400
put it up like this you can put it down like that you could put it down here

00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:11.040
like this but I wouldn't really recommend it because you're going to get a lot of like throat vibration and

00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:15.159
anyway corner of your mouth is the correct position and there are lots of

00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:19.360
other correct positions too it's all about personal preference thank you for
