the ant lion mod mic was always a good idea and while for some people myself
included the previous revisions actually worked reasonably well the ongoing sound
card compatibility issues minimal features and just plain old lack of
availability made them not a great option for a lot of
people a global leader in Tech recruiting is celebrating Geek Pride by
giving away 10 amazing Tech prizes for more info visit the MoDOT Facebook page
or modus.com but none of those things were enough to
stop those folks from continuing to refine the original concept being able
to keep your high quality headphones and put a highquality boom style microphone
on them instead of resorting to one of several other solutions that have always
felt a little bit cluggy to me clipping your mic to your clothes tethers you to
your desk a desktop microphone picks up a lot of ambient noise and switching to
a gaming headset when you game will either give you rubbish audio quality on
your end or you'll be spending a fortune on a quality allinone like the atth ag1
from Audio Technica which just plain doesn't make sense if you already have
awesome headphones that you like today
all of that changes my review unit of the modmic 4.0 didn't come in a package
that looked like they made it out of an old toilet paper roll with a handwritten
notet tape to the side wishing me luck no this one I'm I get a handy dandy and
surprisingly rugged little carrying case with a simple instruction manual that
directs you to the website if you have any further questions two magnetic bases
that allow the mic to be rotated or removed completely from whatever
headphones you attach them to got to love them magnets some extra adhesive
for one of the bases and finally an alcohol prep pad for attaching the
magnetic base to your headphones the mod mic itself is thicker than the old one
and more robust feeling in every way the
microphone tip is larger and has a nice snug fitting windscreen that fits over
top of it but you should still be careful when mounting it to keep the
microphone off to the side of your mouth instead of directly in front of it for
better sound quality and fewer plosives moving down we've got the other
half of the magnetic Mount and a clever little like bending system that can be
adjusted to fit well in the lowered and
raised position without unnecessarily tugging on you you you can also adjust
it if you want and bend it however will fit you best further down we find an
inline mute something that was seriously missing from the older revisions and
then a thicker than normal but still flexible and actually very lightweight
wire that terminates in a standard 3 and 1 12 mm Jack it's just little things but
they add up to a lot last time the mod mic felt like a really exciting science
fair project and this time it feels like a finished product from a real company
but of course you guys want to know how it sounds right frankly great it blows
the doors off most of the gaming headset microphones that I've heard and to my
ear is closer to the excellent microphone on the Audio Technica headset
that I mentioned before than to anything else that I've heard but you can judge
for yourself self selves or self however
many people there are watching right now here is a microphone test with it
this is my audio recording test for the mod mic 4.0 it sounds absolutely
fantastic to me but I guess I'll let you guys be the judge of
that also there will be dancing involved
in this microphone test something that I probably should have warned everyone
about before it happened sorry now bear
in mind the only side by-side comparison you're listening to right now is with
the $600 microphone system that I'm
using so so for some more fair comparisons check out the SoundCloud
Link in the video description which I will continue to add to as time goes on
so with all of that out of the way I'm sure you can draw your own conclusions
about a product like this but here are my thoughts anyway I love it it's a
better implementation of a product that I already liked it is a little bit on
the expensive side but it sounds great and frankly for the target audience
people who have headphones that sound better than gaming headsets the price
won't be unreasonable when you consider the quality and functionality of it and
the fact that it allows you to use that other investment you've already made
more often one thing that they really
need to figure out though even if I don't have a solution off the top of my
head is the two wire issue whether it's through an optional accessory or
something that they include in the Box ant lion needs to find a way to let me
manage the headphone and microphone wires together so I don't end up with a
Tangled mess they address this somehow and this thing is pure gold as usual
guys the link to pricing and availability for the I reused an old
script so it says plexer M6 SSD but
actually it's the mod mic 4.0 is in the video description below
