I don't think so, but you can always get something like https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01IRCXC9S

or even the V-Moda BoomPro mic

but you'll need a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter as well. (e: and some modding due to the twist-lock, Youtube has guides)

edit: Looks like there is bundle @ $79 which includes a mic, not many details on it though. See my post here.

boom.

Open-backed:

I bought these a few years back. Turned me into a huge Sennheiser fan boy. The comfort and durability alone are notable. Add-in that the sound quality brings you into the realm of audiophile-grade and you have a huge reason to buy whenever they go on sale.

I have the 558 in my laptop bag for gaming on the go, a pair of HD518 for use with the Vive, and the Massdrop HD6xx on my main PC setup.

I've been wanting to grab another set for work, was hoping to grab the 598 and "complete the set." But this is tempting.

I use the following replacement cables with mine:

For anyone with Sennheiser or Audio Technica headphones, these are compatible, cheaper, and just as good:

No you don't, just get this: https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Universal-Sennheiser-Audio-Technica-Headphone/dp/B01IRCXC9S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480529613&sr=8-1&keywords=ketdirect+boom+mic

You could try this. It's basically a V-Moda boom style mic that works with the twist lock on Sennheiser headphones.

https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Universal-Sennheiser-Audio-Technica-150CM-Black/dp/B01IRCXC9S?th=1

Avoid gaming headsets, get a nice quality pair of headphones like Sennheiser 558s or Audio Technica MX40s and if you need a mic you can replace their cord with this to turn them into a headset.

Sennheiser HD598C or perhaps the ATH M40x or ATH MSR7 for closed headphones since you mentioned you'd need them for travelling as well.

This mic should work on them. Even a cheap clip on mic or modmic can work out(although it does mean having to deal with an extra cable and having them tangle). I'd be careful about buying something like a Yeti mic as mine sits in storage unused because I didn't realise it was so good at picking up noise from my mechanical keyboard.

I was using this amazon mic before with the m50x. It sounded terrible. Reports from my gaming friends say it sounds much better. The noise gate seems to work much better too, as they cant hear my wife typing across the room like they could with the old setup. I'll do some proper recording samples and see what I can hear - will report back!

Save your money by buying this boom mic instead of a modmic. While the modmic is decent quality, it is not worth the cost they put on it.

Regarde aussi :

• les casques de cette liste (compatibles avec ce micro). Actuellement j'ai le Philips Fidelio X2 + le micro en question, ça marche pas mal.
  
  
• les gammes non gaming de Sennheiser (HHD598 HD558 HD518...) et d'Audio-Technica (ATH-M50x ATH-M40x ATH-M70x) qui sont compatibles avec ce micro

Now you need a mic.

Or do the vmoda boom pro mod.

I loved the idea of ModMic / Antlion but hated the idea of 2 cords coming down from the headset. Luckily I found a good combo with:


Senheiser 558s

This microphone / cord replacement


So those headphones along with many higher end sets have a swappable cord. The mic replaces the cord, and has a boom coming out of it. Also got a shorty cord to use with my phone when I just want to use my head phones and head phones. The sound quality and comfort are waaaaaay better than any gaming headset I've owned.

For anyone with the Sennheiser 558/598 locking mechanism on the cord, this microphone fits right in. I have it and it works great for about 20 bucks. I was considering a modmic but didn't want to shell out 50 bucks for one.

here you go

Hey i found that maybe this can do the trick: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IRCXC9S/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1WX99CUWC7VPZ&psc=1
Anyone can confirm?

It's probably because the whole pinout thing is obscure and Microsoft never bothered to properly explain the problem. I had to open up several remotes from both Apple and Android to discover this myself.

There are alternatives for the Sennheiser models. You could buy a replacement cable with an Android remote straight from Sennheiser like this (it says it's for the Momentums but it works with most Sennheiser models with a detachable cable, any with the locking 2.5mm cable that I think is the spawn of hell) or for better chat you could get something like this, though that particular model has reviews that say it isn't very durable.

What this guy said, 598s but don't get a modmic, get this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IRCXC9S

Indeed they aren't compatible :-P - I'm going to test them out for a bit and then either return the V-MODA and get this guy or just get an adapter. - It's good to hear you think they'll fit well on a small dome. :-)

 

Hm, in case they for some reason don't fit though, do you have any other headphone suggestions for the same price range or is this? EDIT: How about these? Appears to be a good sale atm. I'd return the V-Moda for the mic I linked above.

Phillips SHP9500S: $50 + Vmoda Boompro: $30 = $80

Sennheiser HD558: $80 or less if you're patient + this boom mic: $22 = ~$100

Logitech G633: ~$75

What is your point?

Here is a mic that can connect to any 2.5mm jack including the 598's. I personally use this mic on my HD598 Cs's. The quality sounds great aside from it not being noise cancelling as it picks up anything in the surrounding area.

For anyone with Sennheiser or Audio Technica headphones, with the twist lock mechanism.

https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Universal-Sennheiser-Audio-Technica-150CM-Black/dp/B01IRCXC9S?th=1

I have it myself. Its actually pretty good, which is surprising for the price. No complaints!

Yeah, and that's where I draw the line lol. Somebody messaged me this product here which would solve the mic issue but I can't find any websites in canada that sells it for a decent price.

https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Universal-Sennheiser-Audio-Technica-150CM-Black/dp/B01IRCXC9S?th=1

Just found this guy. Odds this is decent quality and won't affect the sound quality?

Can you give the game 0 and hd599 a rating 1-10 purely for fps gaming (fun and competitive)

Either those or M40X with a pad change and a mic cable.

Mic for M40X

This mic on amazon seems like a good option if you don't want to shell out for the modmic nor mod your cans. I can't speak on the quality of the mic (I use a modmic) but it's likely a better solution than the inline cable mics on ebay.

On another note, I hope you are using some kind of amp for the Xbox as connecting directly to the controller will have a low volume output, not to mention poor quality

They make a generic $20 mic similar to the BoomPro with the 2.5mm plug on Amazon.

I use sennheisser
HD558

And for a mic i use a detachable boom mic, goes directly into the headset socket like a gaming headset.
boom mic

Cant recomend it enough, sounds fantastic and no extra cords

Ketdirekt Boom Mic

I currently have the DT770s at work and love them. I also have the Logitech G930 wireless gaming headset, but I'm beginning to hate it. Beyond the constant random disconnects from the wireless, the sound just isn't that impressive.

I'm looking to spend <$250 for headphones + mic. I plan on buying the Micca Orgien+ separately as I buy some new desktop speakers (currently planning on the MB42x, but that's a separate discussion).

I'm not super experienced in all of this, so I'm unsure if there's anything else I need to buy. I really like the DT990s, and then I'll need a mic to hook up, too. On the other hand, it seems like it would be easier to just get an HD598 and the mic that attaches in-line.

I love bassy "fun" sounds, which is why I think I would like the DT990 better, but my biggest worry is that it may be annoying hooking the headphones into the Origen+ and stringing a mic along separately to plug directly into the computer. What do you think would work better for me?

Then this mic would be what you would want to look at in place of the V-Moda BoomPro.

You could try this https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Universal-Sennheiser-Audio-Technica-Headphone/dp/B01IRCXC9S It seems like there's no way to connect the original boompro to the ath-m50x

I use this with my 598s and I highly recommend it. Good mic and you just need the 1 cable.

https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Universal-Sennheiser-Audio-Technica-Headphone/dp/B01IRCXC9S

The cans arrive with two cables. The short one has built in micro (like any headphones for mobile). I suppose this can work, but I didn't test it yet.

Also, my approach is to get a boom mod mic to add it. Best is Antlion, but it's too expensive here (80€), you also have V-moda and KetDirect. I bought the KetDirect (they have one specific model that works with HD598), but It arrive damaged, so I had to return it (25€). I will probably rebuy it very soon.

Edit: I was talking about this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRCXC9S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kFrazb6KM2ME6

Those adapters are fine for mic input, I was just saying that particular one is a bit overpriced, but that's Antlion for you...

Lapel mics can be quite good, eg. Sony ECMCS3 or Zalman ZM-Mic1.

There are cheaper desktop mics that are still quite nice, like Blue Snowball.

You can get a headset but ofc that would mean giving up the HD598, and usually gaming headsets are not particularly great for music. For the sake of completion I will note though that Sennheiser PC360 is not bad (on par with HD558 actually).

There's also the V-Moda BoomPro, which plugs into 3.5mm, so you can try to use a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. But be careful what you get, not sure if it's the adapters or the HD598 plug/locking ring, but lots of people report connectivity cuts out from time to time.

Last but not least there's this mic which is similar to the BoomPro but with 2.5mm and iffy reviews.

amazon has both options 4.5ft and 6ft.
