00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.640
the ant lion mod mic was always a good idea and while for some people myself

00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:11.280
included the previous revisions actually worked reasonably well the ongoing sound

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:15.400
card compatibility issues minimal features and just plain old lack of

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:18.440
availability made them not a great option for a lot of

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.840
people a global leader in Tech recruiting is celebrating Geek Pride by

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:33.079
giving away 10 amazing Tech prizes for more info visit the MoDOT Facebook page

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:38.280
or modus.com but none of those things were enough to

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:43.800
stop those folks from continuing to refine the original concept being able

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:48.399
to keep your high quality headphones and put a highquality boom style microphone

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:52.879
on them instead of resorting to one of several other solutions that have always

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:57.440
felt a little bit cluggy to me clipping your mic to your clothes tethers you to

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:01.519
your desk a desktop microphone picks up a lot of ambient noise and switching to

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:06.040
a gaming headset when you game will either give you rubbish audio quality on

00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:11.439
your end or you'll be spending a fortune on a quality allinone like the atth ag1

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:17.280
from Audio Technica which just plain doesn't make sense if you already have

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:19.840
awesome headphones that you like today

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:24.159
all of that changes my review unit of the modmic 4.0 didn't come in a package

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:28.840
that looked like they made it out of an old toilet paper roll with a handwritten

00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:33.920
notet tape to the side wishing me luck no this one I'm I get a handy dandy and

00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:36.960
surprisingly rugged little carrying case with a simple instruction manual that

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:41.439
directs you to the website if you have any further questions two magnetic bases

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:44.759
that allow the mic to be rotated or removed completely from whatever

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:49.159
headphones you attach them to got to love them magnets some extra adhesive

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:54.240
for one of the bases and finally an alcohol prep pad for attaching the

00:01:51.520 --> 00:02:00.000
magnetic base to your headphones the mod mic itself is thicker than the old one

00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:02.719
and more robust feeling in every way the

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.680
microphone tip is larger and has a nice snug fitting windscreen that fits over

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:10.840
top of it but you should still be careful when mounting it to keep the

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:15.000
microphone off to the side of your mouth instead of directly in front of it for

00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:20.440
better sound quality and fewer plosives moving down we've got the other

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:26.239
half of the magnetic Mount and a clever little like bending system that can be

00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:28.720
adjusted to fit well in the lowered and

00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:32.599
raised position without unnecessarily tugging on you you you can also adjust

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:38.080
it if you want and bend it however will fit you best further down we find an

00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:42.040
inline mute something that was seriously missing from the older revisions and

00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:46.640
then a thicker than normal but still flexible and actually very lightweight

00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:54.360
wire that terminates in a standard 3 and 1 12 mm Jack it's just little things but

00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:59.360
they add up to a lot last time the mod mic felt like a really exciting science

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:03.680
fair project and this time it feels like a finished product from a real company

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:09.879
but of course you guys want to know how it sounds right frankly great it blows

00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:14.360
the doors off most of the gaming headset microphones that I've heard and to my

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:18.400
ear is closer to the excellent microphone on the Audio Technica headset

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:24.239
that I mentioned before than to anything else that I've heard but you can judge

00:03:19.799 --> 00:03:26.720
for yourself self selves or self however

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:32.319
many people there are watching right now here is a microphone test with it

00:03:30.519 --> 00:03:36.920
this is my audio recording test for the mod mic 4.0 it sounds absolutely

00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:43.599
fantastic to me but I guess I'll let you guys be the judge of

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.439
that also there will be dancing involved

00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:50.599
in this microphone test something that I probably should have warned everyone

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:52.760
about before it happened sorry now bear

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:58.799
in mind the only side by-side comparison you're listening to right now is with

00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:01.400
the $600 microphone system that I'm

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:05.280
using so so for some more fair comparisons check out the SoundCloud

00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:10.560
Link in the video description which I will continue to add to as time goes on

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.599
so with all of that out of the way I'm sure you can draw your own conclusions

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:17.919
about a product like this but here are my thoughts anyway I love it it's a

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:22.960
better implementation of a product that I already liked it is a little bit on

00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:27.680
the expensive side but it sounds great and frankly for the target audience

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:31.960
people who have headphones that sound better than gaming headsets the price

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.440
won't be unreasonable when you consider the quality and functionality of it and

00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:40.759
the fact that it allows you to use that other investment you've already made

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:43.479
more often one thing that they really

00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:48.320
need to figure out though even if I don't have a solution off the top of my

00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:52.240
head is the two wire issue whether it's through an optional accessory or

00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:57.120
something that they include in the Box ant lion needs to find a way to let me

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:02.479
manage the headphone and microphone wires together so I don't end up with a

00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:07.479
Tangled mess they address this somehow and this thing is pure gold as usual

00:05:06.440 --> 00:05:13.919
guys the link to pricing and availability for the I reused an old

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:15.560
script so it says plexer M6 SSD but

00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:19.479
actually it's the mod mic 4.0 is in the video description below

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:22.120
the like dislike and share buttons which you should use accordingly also in the

00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:25.039
video description is a support link where you can buy a t-shirt just like
