I have seen a lot of mic tests in my day but yours takes the cake! Talking about mic volumes and stuff like that is super helpful. Bravo buddy bravo.

[@NapolianSolo]

Thanks to you my move to PC gaming from console was done with ease. From the Razer Basilisk v2, HIFIMAN headphones, and this Modmic I'm sitting pretty and loving it. Thank you for these videos!!

[@Squall409]

Love the sound that comes from the modmic. Currently I am using the PC37x on my PS4 and love it

[@pertsonvelts1699]

Thanks for the review and for the brilliant ending! :)

[@nick3795]

Great review, thanks. Just tripped over with BD DT1990 cable around my ankle, tearing an AudioQuest Dragonfly Black out of the back of my rear IO. Dragonfly Black's USB plug a write off. You have inspired me to take a look at my overall sound setup and thanks for the DT1990 Pro heads up, they are fine Headphones. With stock shortages hitting HiFi equipment, which surprised me after being a bit polarised towards the PC environment I looked at Shiit DACs and Amps, but settled for the Audiolab 8300 series amplifier and CD DAC, trying out some Ecosse Reference XLRs and some mains conditioning. I have been looking at high end USB, Chord Company Epic and speaker cable by Tellurium Q, all very interesting. I love your reviews, never anything other than quality thank you.

[@OfficialGamesky]

Great video man, been thinking about picking this up

[@badseedtech]

I might know a guy...

[@vladputin7628]

Is that gamesky? I'm subbed to both of you!

[@jerma-985]

I've been using this ModMic Wireless with a pair of Bowers and Wilkins PX7 for a total wireless combo and it's been fantastic!

[@charlesrocco8664]

Great video as I’m looking for a mic to use with the Meze 99 Classics. This was a well put together video. Also, love the Deadpool bust! Deadpool for life!

[@stevegood3224]

Thanks to EposVox I found your channel. Great stuff and what a voice. Reminds me a little bit of Wolfman Jack. Subscribed.

[@badseedtech]

That's awesome Steve! Welcome aboard man!

[@Zimtok5]

Solid coverage and well-detailed comparison video. Thanks for the video. I was having trouble with my ModMic out of the box but cranking the volume level in Windows right the way down to 0 appears to have helped eliminate the upper crackle I was getting before. Thanks!

[@ptmcbride1]

I’ve had 4 Razer Nari mic’s die on me, got tired of going through the replacement process slapped one of these on. Good as new

[@phetal8396]

So I bought this with a pair of Sennheiser rs 175 and when the mic is on my headphones keep cutting out, lagging like once every 10 seconds. Why??

[@pestokong6228]

You wearing the headphone are really funny in a good way

[@dustinshane92]

Top notch content, as always, man.

[@badseedtech]

Thank you brother!

[@brianfox340]

I think the unidirectional mode sounds more true to your voice than the supposedly better omnidirectional mode. That modmic 5 sounds incredible for you in particular, with how deep your voice is.

[@saintnick604]

Great review. So if I have an external DAC (sennhesier) doesn't this just negate the use of that DAC? My bluetooth headphones (beats) would be connected to the PC. I only use my DAC for wired headsets :(

[@channelsdfafddsafsd]

I admire people who make that life changing leap and put in tremendous effort to make their dreams come true. Good content, regularly watching your videos..

[@SamtheCanuck]

I bought one of these and they arrived Monday. So far I am liking them I put them on my Sony 1000XM2 headphones. I like using one set of headphones for everything so this let me add a quality mic to my most used cans while staying completely wireless. The documentation says you can install them either side just the charging port is better if on the right. I put it on the left side and remove it to charge anyway.

[@badseedtech]

Damn man, thats a monster set of headphones. Demo'd them but down own a pair currently. They sound incredible. With the MMW thats one awesome setup.

[@snowman22ism]

Great review as usual.. Problem with all these mic and headset reviews is I am always wanting a new one when the one I have is good enough. Currently using the Cloud II. Interested in the Sennheiser though... Dammit

[@badseedtech]

Thanks man. And story of my LIFE! Whatever you do, don't start reviewing headsets - it aonly gets worse. Wait til you see what I have coming out in a few weeks. Hide your wallet lol

[@HDSRosa]

should i leave always plugged the usb to make the mic run? or it will damage it over time having it always plugged?

[@stacia5767]

I have a ModMic4, and while I love it paired with my Bose QC 35 ii, I have way too many cables plugged into my laptop. 5 cables and I only have 2 USB ports that are in use by my ethernet to usb port and mouse. Can I use ModMic Wireless without the receiver through bluetooth?

[@EProtim]

I am rocking a g933 logitech and might consider this wirelless mic to have a perfect wirelless setup thanks great video !

[@badseedtech]

Glad you liked it! I wish the g933 fit my head better. There's a reason why Logi still hasn't refreshed it - bc its sound and feature set are on point!

[@josecamacho191]

Brian I’m currently running the artic pro wireless & I’m being told it’s awful in game chat on pc.. I ordered this mod mic but any tips you can give me to get the steel series mic properly? I really like it

[@actuallystar459]

Does it work on the Playstation Gold White Edition? And if it does, how do I work it?

[@efnsick1035]

I cant get this mic to work with my astro tr mixamp, can someone help please?

[@FullMeloAlchemist]

Song? Great vid btw

[@FLaWChRiS]

Anyone found out the best way to do this? I would like it to work with an over the ear headset. So that I could have a mic that operates just like the old Xbox 360 wireless mic did, but better because well it's 2020 :)

[@DesoloZantas]

Can I hook up 2 Modmic wireless to OBS to have 2 people with a Mic?

[@3dogsinatrenchcoat963]

Yup! You would add it as an audio input.

[@heyjeay]

Dude I legit tweeted you to test out this bad boy... holy hell you’re fast.. as usual top quality review! What wirelesss headphones do you think this would go perfectly with?

[@badseedtech]

If I used them with a wireless gaming headset, I'd probably go with the HyperX Cloud Filights. There's some things I'm not crazy about but the sound quality is great. Otherwise any pair of high end BT headphones from Sony OR Sennheiser.

[@TheBigJame_]

I use it with the Sennheiser RS 165

[@Juice8767]

My go to is my Rode NT USB but I don't always want to sit right at my desk when gaming. Sometimes I like to lean back and move a bit. I've tried a couple mic solutions but I'm afraid that my favorite headphones (Senn HD1s) won't be compatible with a Mod mic since the headband sits over top of the ear cups.

[@ServicetechnikWind]

i need this Deadpool, were to get this from? greez Mike

[@TheBigJame_]

I've watched this video like atleast 10 times in the past week lol

[@cellprocessing6832]

Nice headphones. Might need to reconsider the Mod 5 in the future with Arc amp. Wonder how that combo will go

[@badseedtech]

It goes quite well actually.

[@badseedtech]

Also, is it bad when the ear pads cost more than the headphones? 😁

[@cellprocessing6832]

@@badseedtech Eh depends. Doing a video talking about that or can I ask what you think?

[@Jay-ou5uj]

thank you for the video man im thinking about buying this because i play vr and my vr microphone sound like trash

[@Shamadesss]

really wanted to get a mod mic 5.0 but unfortunately there is literally none for sale at the moment on amazon nor ebay : (

[@iiSlayEm]

Well done on the review. I like the wireless mod mic never knew there was any until now but i got to be honest im kinda skeptic when that Steelseries pro wireless part popped up 😅. From your prospective what would you choose the cloud flights or the pro wireless ? Im worried the pro wireless aren’t that comfortable at the same time i dont want to miss out on the all in quality.

[@iiSlayEm]

Forgot to mention im a console gamer , playstation 4 to be exact.

[@badseedtech]

There's nothing wrong with the sound on the Flights. Some would argue they sound better. You're basically paying a premium for the feature set on the Arctis.

[@thathorrorshow4126]

I had the ModMic 5 its very good. I now have the Yeti Pro. But I highly the ModMic 5 for anyone who doesn't want to buy a cheap headset. Trust me its good.

[@jacklr8557]

I'm gonna buy the mod mic 5. Did you have any problems at all with it or was it all good?

[@doop7131]

Who knew that deadpool was holding popcorn all this time

[@manuelaj3z116]

any alternative for 2023?

[@vladputin7628]

Hows a Superlux 688b with a modmic 4.0. compare to the spearhead VR? I'm looking for a headset for competitive/immersive gaming headset around $100. I know the modmic is way better than the spearheads mic, but how does the imaging and sound stage compare?

[@badseedtech]

This is honestly comparison I've never considered. I'll take them both for an a/b test drive and let you know what I think.

[@badseedtech]

+Vlad PutIn ok...this one was tough. I think the Spearhead was better in terms of imaging but you have to eq it precisely so you dont gwt overwhelmed with bass. So I would vote Spearhead. I tried the GSP300 VS Superlux as well and the GSP SMOKED it for picking out enemies. Given the choice of the 3, specifically for gaming, i would go GSP 300.

[@vladputin7628]

@@badseedtech Thanks for your time, really appreciate it. 😊 Edit: I got the Superlux for Christmas for music and I ordered the G4ME ONE for gaming.

[@1992xGeo]

God modmic 5 sounds amazing

[@JustinPullin]

Yo! I may get these for my pro 82. Have you been able to use the audio device you mentioned for PS4 yet? Is it looking like a must buy item? Any hints on what it is? The mic sounds so amazing for being wireless! Also ? I appreciate you and your content, I know KZbinrs may not always hear that from us subs. Merry Christmas man!

[@badseedtech]

amzn.to/2R7JjVY

[@badseedtech]

There's the link for what I was testing. Looked to a be a small inline amp. Problem is it isn't going to fix the problem for everyone - only for some. It makes it may 3-5db louder. It DID make my GSP 300 sound louder but not a crazy amount. It originally retailed for $100 when it came out. I'll still do a video and it *may* work for you but its not a miracle cure.

[@JustinPullin]

@@badseedtech h mm thanks boss!

[@JustinPullin]

@@badseedtech I think I'll get the 1more vr again. I didn't have access to a Windows PC to update it before to use any of the usb stuff and they weren't worth it without it. I've seen like four KZbinrs rave about them, including one who hates gaming headsets..

[@tmaxnun2]

Bought this tried it.. returned it. The mic quality is nothing compared to the wired versions of it. I saw another video with a rep from Antlion, and they said they sourced a new mic for this specific wireless version... really should of just crammed the same mic in this instead it may have sounded great.

[@jacobandrews4587]

Which mic do you have now

[@gstylez0107]

Was wondering if you could help me out, Badseed. I'm trying to decide on a wireless gaming headset. I've watched your recent video on best 2018 headsets for under $100, but was wondering if maybe it'd be worth spending just a little more. I'm looking for something with good "imaging" (I think that's what you call it), something that allows me to hear the direction of the sounds (surround sound?) with good bass.. I'm looking to spend around $150.. Other features like rgb, good mic, comfort, battery life are good bonuses but not a complete necessity.. I'm not an audiophile, I know very little about sound quality but you seem like you know pretty much everything there is when it comes to this stuff, so any ideas would be so appreciated..

[@badseedtech]

Hey Greg! The Cloud Flight is probably the safest recommendation for sound quality but is anemic on the features. Arctis 7 2019 is a strong contender too but lighter on the bass than the other options. I've actually been liking the Razer Nari lately for wireless if you don't mind Synapse software...it a great all rounder. If you have a sm-md size head, don't mind clamping force and looking ridiculous, the G933 has the best imaging out there. Personally can't stand wearing it but it does pick out footsteps really well and the bass is solid.

[@gstylez0107]

@@badseedtech Hey thanks man! So many different options out there, I'm thinking it's between the 933 or the arctis 7.. It's such a hard decision though. The 933 is ugly af, but I guess it's not like anyone is going to he watching me when I'm gaming with it. Lol.

[@badseedtech]

Lol yeah, that's kinda the deal with that one. Doubt you'd be disappointed with it in any way until you walk by a mirror. 😂

[@edferd100]

Does the mount magnet interfere with the headphone speaker drivers?

[@OgamiTringle]

Not in my experience

[@therealbeans4899]

What about an EQ on this to try and boost the low end .. Would it work ?

[@noodlejutsu]

You can definitely do that if you use voicemeeter potato

[@bassamassad]

What do you do, or what does it happen, when the right side of your Sony headset is also a touch interface. You know, if I put my hands on it, it mutes the music, I can adjust volume, and so on. Can I install this on it, what do you think?

[@badseedtech]

I don't think thats the move. But I also don't think gaming in Bluetooth headphones is the move either.

[@bassamassad]

@@badseedtech I think we misunderstood each other, then I found the answer on Amazon under this product's description in the Questions section. The adhesive used to get the mic's magnetic holder on the right side of the headphone/headset can interfere with the touch interface placed on the right sides of Sony BT headphones. The touch interface will recognize this as a human touch. This was the thing I wanted to know, I dont care about gaming, I want to use this mic for voice to text applications, and also playing games with my Sony (WX-B900N) headphones were just fine ever since I used them. Maybe because I prefer single player titles.

[@leemcelhenney4550]

Sennheiser mic is crazy clean but the education system ate my money so imma get the modmic with my m20x

[@ModeMilitant]

Ive watched at least 4 of your videos and everytime you say this is now your new "favorite" headset. lol.

[@badseedtech]

Man, those were the days. Not so much anymore.

[@leonitWasGehtSieDasAn]

Can i use it on my Phone too?

[@badseedtech]

Unfortunately I don't think so. I believe it only pairs with the dedicated dongle despite being BT tech.

[@OmarAlNasery]

Thats what i was waiting for bro👌👍 , i have Logitech g633 but i hate wires and i didn't find a wireless headset looks simple and sounds amazing for games so i can stick this mic on , my eyes fall on audio Technica ath-m50x bt ( the new Bluetooth version ) but i don't know if it's any good for gaming , any suggestions or ideas ?? Thank you

[@badseedtech]

What country are you in and are you trying to go full wireless?

[@OmarAlNasery]

@@badseedtech yes that's what i want full wireless , I'm living in france

[@badseedtech]

I'm not in love with the M50x sound, but they are tough to beat at that price for Bluetooth. If you can stretch the budget a bit more, I'd consider the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 wireless. I don't work with Sennheiser, but there's a reason why I always recommend them.

[@OmarAlNasery]

@@badseedtech thanks for the advice , i hate those bully gaming headset , there is only few options , i liked the Corsair hs70 wireless but the earcup are not replaceable like to get velour or fabric ones , anyway really thank you for the input and looking forward for your new videos

I have the Mod Mic 5 on my senheisser HD350s the wire drives me insane.
