V-Moda BoomPro Microphone | for Gaming & Communication | Wired - 3.5 mm Jack | Flexible Boom | Clip-on Controller with Mute Button & Volume Wheel | Black

This thing has been great. It is very difficult for microphones to be loud enough when they are sitting on your desk and your mouth is far away, but with it attached to your headphones it picks up everything and is very clear. Great for voice calls. Now I can use my comfy headphones and have a good mic at the same time.

I'm writing this review as an update because i notice most of the other reviews seem to be a little old and didn't really address the questions i needed answered before I purchased. after hours of research, i still felt like i was taking a risk by buying this, so here goes my attempt to help some people before buying it: First and foremost, I purchased these to use on an XBOX ONE with my brand new BEATS PRO HEADPHONES that i bought a few days ago at a black friday sale. I have BOTH microphone adapters for my controllers, that is to say, I have the adapters with and without the keyboard. I figured since my Samsung Galaxy headphones worked great, a pair of Beats would be even better. i was wrong. I was sorely disappointed to find that the original microphone cable would not transmit the sound of my voice, and it felt like i had just wasted a few hundred bucks. Especially after i asked around at best buy and the associates told me that beats headphones wouldn't work with anything besides a Beats brand cable. That seemed odd, so i did more research of my own... which brings me to the meat and potatoes of my review. after viewing a few videos on YouTube, i stumbled upon this cable. Let me tell you right out the gate that IT WORKS PERFECTLY WITH MY BEATS AS IS. the quality is actually much better than I had even anticipated and I didn't even need to buy any extra adapters. Just plug and play. that's why I'm giving it 5 stars. Definitely worth the 30 dollar investment to make good use of a set of headphones you already have instead of buying another set of Two or Three hundred dollar headphones to achieve the very same quality. Now that we've got that settled, I'd like to address some questions I had that i couldn't find an answer to. Here's what I found for those of you who may be wondering the same things (Please keep in mind, this my experience with BEATS PRO. outcome may vary depending on whatever headphones you're looking to augment with this microphone:) The Y cable that youtube and amazon recommend you purchase alongside this microphone is NOT NECESSARY because it plugs into the xbox controller perfectly even without it. The microphone is built with a regular jack that has the THREE BANDS on it, just like the microphone that came with my Samsung Galaxy. I should also note that it comes with a Y cable that converts the jack for use with a computer or anything else that might need that sort of thing. Something else that was recommended to purchase alongside this microphone is an adapter for the jack that plugs into the headsets themselves. it's supposed to convert the TWO BAND jack into one with THREE BANDS. This is also NOT NECESSARY. I bought the adapter and tested the microphone with and without it.Turns out the headphones worked perfectly with and without the adapter. there was no real sound difference that I could notice, so it seems to just be a waste of 5 bucks for me. whatever though, better safe than sorry when it comes to these things. As for sound quality, this cable seems to be just as good as the original Beats brand cable that came with the headphones themselves. I'm super impressed with these, and I hope this review helps somebody looking to convert their beats into an awesome pair of gaming headphones.

I initially bought these for my Astro A40's because the microphone is horrible. Turns out the A40's don't work because Astro decided to use a longer 5 pole 3.5 jack which didn't work with this product. A shame I couldn't find an adapter either. So instead I am temporarily using the mixamp with the original Skullcandy Crusher wireless. I tried using the Crusher ANC, but the 3.5 jack is on the right side of the headphones and I didn't like having to rotate the microphone boom like that. The jack fits nicely though, it doesn't feel loose and it doesn't swing around. So far the sound quality is good, it does utilize the bass drivers in the Crushers. I mainly bought these because the microphone is incredible. Most programs I use such as Discord or Xbox party chat have filtering, but it does let a lot of background noise through normal voice recordings. Here are my cons so far: The braided cable makes a lot of noise and transmits into the microphone which can be heard with Astro's sidetone (feature that lets you hear yourself) enabled. There is no indicator when you are muted. The mute slider is not that good, I thought the logo was a giant mute button. You have to use a stand or be careful while laying your headphones down as this mic doesn't flip up or retract. There is some hiss noise at higher volume. The boom arm doesn't seem to have a lot of retention to hold it's position, might be an issue in the future.

had to get it after my bluetooth headphones started to sound funky on windows whenever i had any application that had a mic feature coded in, and it works perfectly. worked on sony wh1000xm5. worked on beats studio pro. very easy to use.

Compatible with everything and connect with one jack 3.5mm

Microfone de ótima qualidade, ele não capta qualquer mero ruído e a voz fica muito limpa. Na minha opinião, muito melhor e mais prático que um microfone "de mesa". Uso num SHP9500 com um dongle P3 para USB-C e funciona perfeitamente. Veio bem embalado e chegou antes do esperado.

Apres avoir utilisé le Corsair HS50 PRO pendant 1 an (casque qui a un microphone plutôt bon par rapport à ce qu'on trouve sur les casques "gaming" en general) je peux confirmer que le V-MODA est nettement meilleur! Oui, le cable est assez fin et le micro doit être repositionné fréquemment (pratiquement à chaque fois qu'on met le casque sur a tête) mais la qualité du son est tellement bonne qu'on peut lui accepter tous les petits inconvénients das l'utilisation quotidienne. Dans mon cas je l'utilise le micro avec un AKG N60, donc j'ai eu besoin d'un adaptateur jack 3.5mm vers 2.5mm pour pouvoir brancher le V-MODA. J'ai acheté au hasard, le "Vention Lot de 2 adaptateurs Audio 3,5 mm Femelle vers 2,5 mm mâle de qualité supérieure pour Casque d'écouteurs, écouteurs 2,5 mm vers 3,5 mm Jack stéréo ou Mono" et le "Lindy Adaptateur Audio stéréo 2,5mm M / 3,5mm F". Tous les adaptateurs fonctionnent parfaitement, ils restent bien en place dans le casque et passent bien le son stereo par le cable du micro V-MODA. Vu la qualité du son et le prix, je recommande sans reserves ce micro qui peut être branché sur un caque avec port jack de très bonne qualité et obtenir un headset exceptionnel et modulable !

Great product. My new Sony 1000XM4 microphones sucked. Wanted a good microphone for conf calls and casual gaming. This one fits right in..the sound quality is exceptional. Goes well with my XM4

Nunca me han gustado los headsets, para "gamers", son caros y la calidad de audio y micrófono no es la mejor, ademas que si dejan de funcionar es complicado repararlos, la mejor solución que encontré es este micrófono de V-moda, simplemente hay que conectarlo a la entrada auxiliar de tus audífonos y listo, funcionan para jugar en consola (personalmente lo he probado en la entrada auxiliar del dualshock 4) y también viene incluido un splitter para usarlos en pc, de igual forma pueden ser conectados a un celular(probado con android), para realizar llamadas VENTAJAS >muy buena calidad, el cable es de alta resistencia, y la manufactura y materiales son de alta calidad > el micrófono es ajustable, se puede acercar o alejar > cuenta con control de volumen en el cable , y un botón de silencio, indispensable para partidas en linea >siempre y cuando tus audífonos cuenten con entrada auxiliar podrás usarlo >compatible con las consolas de generación actual y pc >buena calidad de grabación, me podía escuchar sin problemas de forma clara DESVENTAJAS >la parte mas delicada es el micrófono , a veces se siente frágil, sin embargo no ha tenido fallas >es necesario contar con audífonos con entrada auxiliar para usarlo, lo cual representa un gasto extra si no cuentas con este tipo de audífonos.
