V-ModaBoompro Microphone for Gaming & Communication - Black, wired - 3.5 mm Jack

Having tried more gaming headsets than I'd like to admit and being so very disappointed with the quality of the mic's, I was skeptical that this paired with my Sennheiser 598's would be any better. I could not be more wrong!I stream games using OBS, and for every headset I've tried I've had to add suppression, gain and noise gate filters. Only one of the headsets I tried it actually worked on. But even then I was not happy. One of my main problems is I am a "nasal gamer" (as I like to call it) so all mics pick up my breathing in a bad way lol.So onto this mic, WOW! First off, I was able to completely remove all filters on OBS. Didn't need any suppression or noise gate to block unwanted sounds. This mic only picks up me. The sound is super clear, and it actually makes my voice sound like I would expect to here it. I can even move the mic well away from my mouth and it's still loud and clear. I cannot stress how clear this mic is. Their is no breathing, no static, no background noise. Truly awesome. The box says professional grade mic... it sure feels it!The stork is my next favourite feature. It is extremely flexible. You bend it, and it stays. Very nice. My only worry is whether this rigidness stays over time. We will see.The control unit works well. It has a volume dial and a mute switch and a clip on the back to attach it to clothes. One criticism here though is I think that unit is too big. Many others have the same functionality in a lot smaller unit. It could be stuff that makes this thing so awesome and clear though is housed in there so I'm not grumbling. It doesn't get in the way so its fine.The braided cable is nice and long and comes with a nice quality cable tie. Useful as I use a game controller so I don't have to have miles of cable all over.In the box is an adapter to convert the 3.5 jack into a headphone and mic jack for those that prefer to plug directly into their computer sockets. All jacks appear gold so looks quality to me.I was mildy disappointed that a mic this good let itself down a little by not coming with a pop filter, but I bought a pack of 10 mini's off Amazon anyway for a fiver so at least I have spares.Final verdict, this mic is the business! If you are struggling to find a boom mic style gaming headset, make your own. Having tried so many different high end gaming headsets, I'm confident I now have the perfect headset... Sennheiser 598SR + V-MODA BoomPro Microphone.

A fantastic microphone for the money. Add it to a good pair of headphones like the Phillips SHP-9500 and you'll have a much better headset than most £200 headsets on sale.The mic is extremely clear. Not too trebbly, and has good lowend and depth to it. The only downside is it can pickup more background noise than I'd have wished for. It also doesn't come with a boom pop filter.The mute switch and volume slider is nice and works well. The cable is great quality, a braided black cable which is fairly thin and unobtrusive. Don't let that put you off, it feels that it will last the test of time.I had to use the provided splitter for it to work on my PC so be cautious. It wouldn't work on the my PC IO with the single 3.5mm jack. I put the splitter into 1 mic input and 1 audio input on my internal soundcard to work.Sound quality to the headphones is completely unaffected which is a huge plus.All in all a great and clever little device

V - Moda BoomPro Microphone for computer games / Internet telephony , BlackPros:Great Mic for speaking on discord or other VoIP programmes.Turns your headphones into a better headset than your current gaming ones.Clarity is amazing.Volume is amazing.Ease of setup.Cons:I received a faulty product when first ordered, but amazon were quick to replace it. The problem is that it was picking up my speaker sound and also giving me a lot of static. The volume was so low that discord was having difficulties picking it up even with mic boost at +20dB. It was really frustrating because it was hard to determine whether it was a faulty mic or just bad setting in windows so I had to spend 2 days messing with my computer before concluding it was the mic. I'm glad I did figure it out and now the replacement sounds great!So for those of you reading this:If you hear static and the recording volume is low, chances are you have a faulty product and you should ask for a replacement. Make sure you do some tests with an external sound card to see if the low volume problem persists and it still picks up your headphone sound (basically streaming what you hear) before making a replacement order though.Hope this is helpful!

The media could not be loaded. I spent a lot of time looking at different gaming headsets. The mic quality on many of them are questionable, but the biggest problem was the high cost. It is hard to justify paying hundreds of pounds on a gaming headset; especially when they all use cables that are physically connected to the headphones (so if the cable snaps, they need to be binned).The beauty of the BoomPro mic is that they can be used with any pair of headphones with a 3.5mm headphone jack. This means you can convert your favourite headphones into a gaming headset. This makes much more sense to me as most gaming headsets are either too big, are bad for listening to music, or just too expensive. With the BoomPro you can get the best of both worlds.The microphone quality is very good. It is more than good enough for playing games with friends or live streaming. I use my V Moda headphones when working at my computer and then simply take out the regular audio cable and insert the boom pro when I am playing games.Check out my video review for more information as to what you get in the box and how the mic sounds :)
