One big disadvantage that on the V-Moda is that you make it share a ground. So, if you want to connect your headphones to a external DAC/Amp and your mic to a mic input, you will get a buzz. A separated cable with its own ground, like on the ModMic avoid this issues.

I bought the mic a few months ago and used it with my Vmoda M-100s that I've had for 6 months to a year . The mic is alright if you're on a budget. I ran into issues with it. I had similar issues with audio going to my headphones bleeding into the microphone. I had issues with static from the cord causing noise to be made and transmitted into the microphone. I just thought the execution of this microphone was meh. Sort of an afterthought from Vmoda. I eventually bought the Sennheiser GSP 302 off Amazon and haven't looked back. Quality across the board was spot on. I still use my Vmoda's for video editing and use away from my PC, but the GSP 302 is my daily driver for gaming and streaming on my PC. One tip I can offer to those considering buying this, if you have an old Xbox 360 headset laying around, use the foam bit on the end of the microphone. I did that and it helped negate some of the popping when I say certain words.

[@shadowarmor5100]

Well. I don't know how you used it because I've got the BoomPro on my M100 as well and I've run into none of the issues you've just named. Mine works perfectly fine on XboxOne and on my PC. Maybe check your setup?

[@Yeah_Buddy_LIGHTWEIGHT]

@@shadowarmor5100 I tried both the front audio ports and the rear ports for my motherboard. Both had the same static issue. Mic bleed still occurred on both front and back as well. When i got the new Sennheisers, they had the issue with audio bleed on the front, but not the back. So I can say that the front panel audio has issues. But the mic bleed did not occur on the back using the Sennheisers, which means something is up with microphone as well.

I asked about 10x people on Discord how I sound: 9/10 points. Tip: Make sure to deactivate the "Speak-To-Chat" setting in Sony's Headphones app, otherwise the gaming sound will not be received. I also activated the ambient noise mode and set it to 15 so that I can hear my own voice clearly when I speak. I have never been as satisfied with online gaming than these days. It doesn't get any better. Especially since I no longer need a separate headset, where the mics are no good at all - at least most of them are trash.

Hey, do you have any issues with crosstalk/echo? I have the Sony XM4s and the BoomPro but the mic "records" the sound going to the headphones. This results in an echo for my friends on discord.

something wrong with your hearing the ModMic 5 was certainly better sounding

[@GandalfTheSilver]

Ignore Dave's remark. Hearing the difference could come down to whatever audio output you use. If you're listening on earbuds or TV speakers, the difference might not be detectable at all. ModMic 5.0 was flawless, I couldn't detect any vocal artifacts. The Vmoda had some artifacts that prevented it from sounding totally natural and true, but overall, the vocal quality was detailed and clear. At a mere $30, the Vmoda has incredible value. For professional use where vocal quality must be as natural as possible, ModMic 5.0 is better. For gaming and general use, the Vmoda is totally sufficient and a much more reasonable option. If you get a pop filter on the Vmoda, all the better.

If your dishonest interpretation of my comment is due to defensiveness, then I suspect that you blew your money on a ModMic, and now you're trying validate your excessive spending on something that is only minimally improved over reasonably-priced alternatives by trying to argue that the difference is larger than what it actually is.

[@konekoangel698]

I use a VMODA BoomPro on a Audio Technica ATH-M50 with detachable cable mod for a year. Best option so far. Only drawback, it's an omni-directional mic (which means it's going to take the sounds from every direction, not just your mouth). The volume control on the cable also got some bad contacts over time but nothing that makes it unusable at all. Not the greatest piece of hardware but for 30 bucks, it gets the job done, it sounds great and you don't have any additional cable like with the modmic. Would probably buy it again in the future. Another similar alternative would be the BeyerDynamic Custom Headset Gear which costs around 50 bucks.

I just received the Boom Pro this weekend and the mic is picking up background interference when I speak, no where near the quality of sound displayed in this video. I have it plugged directly into my mobo so I think it might be a ground loop issue.

[@PimpslapWilson]

I’ve been using this mic for the past 2-3 years , it’s been a great daily driver . Highly recommend it. 😍

would it be worth to buy this if I already have a HyperX Alpha headset?

Definitely yes

if you have the m50x bt version it does they have replaced the 2,5 with a 3,5 mm jack :P

@@floeche9737 Ok cool. I don't have those.

[@joof8342]

You can modify the M50 and add a 2.5mm (male) to 3.5 mm (female) adapter and use the boom pro. That's what I did and it's worked out pretty well. However, if you try this, there's a little notch on the inside of the hole on the m50's which is used for locking the proprietary 2.5mm connector into the headphones. I think the safest way of doing this is opening up that side of the headphones and unscrewing and removing the audiojack/circuit board into which the cable connector goes. After this is out of the way (and safe from being broken) you should be able to use a drill or sharp tool to take out the notch inside. Definitely remove the internals before hand though, because I didn't and drilled too far. So, I ended up breaking the internal audio connector/board and I had to solder everything manually. Also, make sure you find an adapter which fits in the m50's, some might be too big around.

[@Ziggity]

There are 2.5 mm alternatives that fit your headphones. Search on Amazon for Neomusica mic ( I think that's what it's called)

honestly Zeos review on the Vmoda Boom Pro was better because he uses good hifi headphones which honestly destroys any "gaming" headset youll ever own just get a mayflower arc for your dac/amp a nice pair of Headphones and vmoda boom pro mic and you have the best "gaming" headset

[@fritzkier]

Are you new here? because Dimitri uses Sennheiser HD 800 with The Element AMP. And that's definitely not a gaming headphones nor a gaming DAC either. try to watch his video that titled " $349 Headphone AMP vs $249 On-board Sound... Who Wins???" But, I don't think Vmoda Boom Pro could be attached on Sennheiser HD 800 tho. So, it's kinda pointless that you need to buy a hifi headphones again with single 3.5mm connector just to review this cheapo but good product.

[@JJ_ExMachina]

Yep been using the V-MODA BoomPro mic for a couple of years now with my Beyerdynamic Custom one Pro. I mainly use them to Skype with my friends and Family, since I mainly work overseas. It is truly the best value for quality in a mic I have been able to find. None of that thin nasally sound you get from normal "gaming" headphone mics. It actually has a really nice full range to it, without going too deep. Which I think that many larger mics and even the ModMic 5 goes too deep. With my voice it creates a little too much "boom" and causes a lot of clipping. The price and performance of the V-MODA BoomPro Mic makes it a no brainier, IF you have a pair of headphones that can work with them. I have used the V-MODA mic with Beyerdynamic Custom one Pro, Fostex T50RP, and a modded Samson SR850 (bought on Massdrop for $20 and a 3.5 jack for $0.50 off of Digikey.. modded them to take the V-MODA mic).

[@KosanRio]

Been using these for a few years now, great quality for the price, even nabbed a rather shady version from Aliexpress that had a 2.5mm connector for my M50x, same exact microphone.

[@andreacardamone3241]

Amazing... The sound quality produced by this microphone is fantastic. Thanks I didn't know this kind of product.

[@dereknelson7108]

Been thinking of getting this for awhile but I just don't use a mic all that much and the inline mic on v-moda cables are fine enough. But wow didn't realize how great this mic sounded! Would be a definite improvemeng

[@aqif3610]

You guys should review the CM MH751/752!

[@jgallone]

My BoomPro died after a little over a year of work-from-home use. When it did work, it was great; but not happy with it only lasting a year (just after warranty expired of course). Will be looking for an alternative.

[@rand0mtv660]

I know the modmic is more expensive than this, but the fact that modmic can turn any headset into a headset with a mic is its strongest feature. That thing alone probably doesn't justify the price difference, but it's a really strong feature.

[@saxophonecsb7398]

I just subscribed. I appreciate how good these videos are structured and compared.

[@joshua41175]

I thought it was interesting how you guys hadn't tried any of the vmoda stuff. I can understand the headphones because they're kinda.... juvenile? But the mic was a new product to myself as well when I looked at the headphones again.

[@classicrockonly]

I didn't go with the BoomPro specifically for the reason that I would have to plug them into my headset. I don't want to be always wearing a mic on my headset, and I also don't want to have an additional cable when I want to swap my mic on/off. I went with the ModMic 5 for that reason. Set the mic on my desk for the moment I need it

[@aaronncollier96]

ModMic 5 definitely sounds the best, but the BoomPro is a close second. Given the cheaper price tag and convenience of the single cable design it seems like the BoomPro is a winner to me.

[@PHIplaytesting]

Excellent video. I was set on picking up a Sennheiser Game Zero but this changed my mind. The difference is night and day.

[@Drybones195]

Perfect Human Interface I got the Sennheiser Game Zero and the audio quality is disappointing. My $60 Astro A10’s sound MUCH better. I don’t recommend them.

[@Negalijus370]

ModMic 5 - MH752 default - Vmod boom pro (good to bad). I would get ModMic 5 to attach or buy MH752 headset instead of getting anything else.

[@LifeLongCaboose]

It's a out time you talk about it. Also do note, not only is it a upgrade to the mic quality but almost always an upgrade to the cable as well as vmoda cable are fantastic. You can also attach the vmoda boom pro too any headphone if you wanted, people have zip tied and even used the mod mic attachment system with them to make it a truly cheaper universal attachable mic.

[@ungabunga115]

the vmoda does sound the best out of everything, has a lot of bass, which i like. only issue with it is, i would totally buy it, if my astro's didn't have that proprietary connector into the headset.

The bass on modmic 5 is a bit tighter than vmoda boom pro, but i think when comes down to productivity, the frequency that modmic 5 produces is easier to edit later on
