Reddit mentions of Antlion Audio ModMic Wireless Attachable Boom Microphone for Headphones - Compatible with PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, Any USB A Type

I would recommend a MIC. unless you are dropping 300+ on a TV broadcaster headset on top of the extra money to use even that. Most headset makers put very little money into the audio quality of the MIC it self. Most companies make great sounding headphones for decent prices.

Take the Astro TR## line of head sets. I have the TR40. It sounds great and is comfy as well. But the mic on it is shit. I've used Razer's head sets as well and they have the same thing. Sound great, shitty mic. Corsair, Check. Logitech, Check. Most focus on "noise cancellation" that I have never seen work well.

Here are two mics i recommend. Great for those who do not have super heavy control of the room noise or audio environment.

You got a few choices depending on the path you want to go. Many will recommend a Blue Yeti or something like that but i don't unless you got great control of your recording environment.

Recently got this MIC to use with my HTC VIVE for live streaming or just audio chat. I am surprised by how great the audio quality is. It's only down side is that since it is wireless. You have a battery you need to charge. So super long sessions or streams you may run out of power. But they claim it will last 12 hours. So like i said SUPER LONG SESSIONS.

This was my first deep dive purchase for a dedicate mic of my own. Before this i was using a BLUE YETI, which is a great mic. but unless you got great control over sound of the room (echoing, environmental noise, and so on). I don't recommend it for starting out. This mic you will want to pair with a desk mount mic arm But since it's capture range is small you can control the sound it pics up with ease. I use a clicky mechanical keyboard and this thing barely picks it up. The yeti would capture every clicky click click. The other advantage is if you start to upgrade your hardware for audio recording. You don't have to ditch this mic since it has XLR on it. This mic before getting the Ant lion was my go to for recording and LAN PARTIES. This also supports being a audio output device as well. Though I never use that ability. Something that can be helpful for some, or something to watch out for when starting sessions to make sure you devices are set right in the recording software

Though keep in mind. IT's all about your personality. Look at H20Delirious. His mic always sounds like shit but he is successful.

If you got specific headphones that work for you ModMic makes a great wireless mic I just picked up. Great quality on it and very easy to use. They also have wired versions that are a little less $$$

So I decided to buy a sound card (G5) to try to combine it with the Mobius, because I thought it might help, but unfortunately it didn't work. So I was returning the sound card the next day, I was really set on returning the DT 1990 Pro too. However, during the night before returning the sound card tomorrow, I decided to give the DT 1990 one last try, since it seemed to be more compatible with the sound card. OMG, the DT 1990 just jumped by a couple levels of improvements, most probably because of the amp that's also in the sound card, because the DT 1990's volume is really low, even at 100%, I could only go up to 26% with the sound card. So at that last minute, the DT 1990 made a massive comeback and won the competition for me, of which headphone is better. In the end, I decided to stick with the DT 1990 because it was just on a whole new level of sound clarity, I'm not even hardcore when it comes to audio stuff, but even I could tell the difference, DT 1990 was just that good. After I returned the G5, I decided to upgrade to the G6, latest model, and now that's the setup I have now. Using my DT 1990, connecting it to the external sound card G6, then to my PC, its a really easy setup. I wanted an external sound card because I wanted a physical volume knob I can control with, instead of using some command on the keyboard or alt tab out to change the volume. A bit after that, I needed a new mic, since the Dt 1990 is just standalone headphone, I went with the Antlion wireless Modmic, and it is a really good mic too, I love it, I even wrote a review on it on Amazon if you wish to read it, got pictures included, it is under the same name as my Reddit name. I hope this has helped you to decide, let me know if you need to know anything else!

I use the Antlion modmic 4...works fine, its $50 on Amazon here. There's a v5 now that's modular here and a wireless one that I'm seriously considering, both quite a bit pricier

AKG 712Pro

For 300$ is a amazing headphone for gaming and music.

Yeah, maybe one day when I'll have the money, I finally bought my Rift S and it kinda already hurts my wallet :')

I've had my eye on this one for a while. Might be overkill for you. Magnetic mount so you can stick it to whatever headphones you're using.

Okay, I see. Grado might be too basic in its wireless capabilities. Have you come to a conclusion yet?

Yes, those are good alternatives if you have to return it. But, the 9X is for Xbox right, and for computer it need a separate sold dongle to work? That's what it says on the website anyway. I would think the Arctis Pro Wireless is for computer.

Yes, you might just get used to a closed back headphone (idk about the folding, hehe), but as for other options I'll improve a little upon previous ramblings.

I'd like you to know there exists a wireless modmic. Maybe cheaper alternatives exist, idk as I just looked it up.

Look what this guy did with a Philips Fidelio X2, a Fiio BTR3 (Has AptX LL) and the wireless modmic:

https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/bscb8u/wireless_fidelio_x2_with_wireless_modmic/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

The Fidelio is on the bass heavy side, so this same mod could be done on a AKG K701 / AKG 7XX which is the opposite (light on bass, if you prefer that).

The Sennheiser HD58X is somewhere in between with its bass, but is slightly harder to "mod" as the cable comes out of both sides. It might be most convenient to clip the thing on the shirt, or somehow make a custom cable and route it over the headband.

Obviously it is more convenient to buy a all-in-one like a normal person but this will be fitting for the HiFi enthusiast + gamer.

There you go, I can't see any more options per today. Good luck! :-)

This is mic I and many other use and it’s fantastic. Glad you liked the video 👍 AntLion Audio ModMic Wireless https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07KQF165L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xapvDb1Z3TVH8

sure but you can slap a wireless modmic onto it. itll sound better than ANY alternative

It does, but it sucks. You should get a Modmic instead:
