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

Initially I looked into purchasing this for my V-Moda Crossfade LP (original, not 2) as I prefer the idea of a boom mic, rather than in-line mic for playing games and using voice chat through Steam. I was rather surprised to find that this will not work with only V-Moda products but any headphones that have a standard 3.5mm jack (there might be exceptions, but I don't know), as the mic aspect is only in the cable. That's excellent news for future purchases of headphones and my recommendations of headsets for other people. Mic quality has been reported to me as being exceptionally clear. It's a mic so don't expect to sound like you're in the same room as another player and, obviously, it will depend on the quality of their headset as well but the first description was that I sounded like I was talking on a phone with good clarity. It's a mic - there are variables galore but positive feedback all round. The cable itself is pretty decent. The cable has a standard 3.5mm jack that works with Apple products, 3DS systems and the like. There's a separate adapter for plugging into the PC. I'm not sure about the in-line controls but I'm going to leave it out of pros vs cons because I can't make up my mind; there's nothing that I can put my finger on that is "bad", let's put it that way. The boom mic, astoundingly, feels solid and flimsy at the same time. It's extremely easy to bend the mic (cable? Pole? I don't know the term) but at the same time it doesn't feel like it's going to break any time soon. I can only assume that it's that well-made. If I had one niggle about the cable it's the inability to vary the length; it's too long for where I have it plugged in and I can see that other people would have a similar issue if they plug this into the front of their PC, for example. I can't call it a negative per se, however, as it's a cable length. Some people may need it to be longer. One negative I do have is that the PC adapter could have had a clearer way to illustrate which is the mic and which is audio. There is a symbol on the side of the jacks with headphones on one and an arrow on the other but I would have preferred coloured bands (do they have a term?) on the jacks, rather than them both being black. Not much else can be said, really. It's a cable that works with the headphones and the mic is clear.

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

The quality on the microphone is superb - on par or greater to many headsets I've tried. There is more bass to this microphone than others, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing; recordings are super clear. There was originally some static, however this was resolved by disabling the AMD HDMI Audio drivers. Not all issues are hardware! You will need a pair of headphones with a 3.5mm port, myself using the V-MODA M100 Crossfades however they will work with other brands too. I highly recommend this solution over the popular Mod Mic - less cables, higher quality. All I simply do is plug the top into my headphones, then plug the 4-pin jack into the included splitter (for computer use, phones and tablets would support a all in one 4-pin) to plug in the headphone and microphone ports of my computer. Originally having the microphone to the side was a tad bit annoying while not-gaming. You can turn the microphone around to not be in your vision, or simply switch out the cable, else you'll get used to it quickly and forget it's there. The arm holding the microphone stays in place and doesn't feel flimsy. Having the microphone itself detachable would make this product absolutely perfect. The reason for 4 stars is that unlike other V-MODA products, the materials used aren't super-high quality, although they do the job. If you've owned a pair of V-MODA headphones, you know the quality of the cables. While this is decent, it isn't as good. Likewise the box with volume control/mute works but feels lower-cost than the rest of the product. I don't fear this breaking, only that it could be made from a nicer material. However, this is acceptable as it keeps the cost of the high-quality microphone down, although it wouldn't break the bank.

I've got this microphone back in 2014 and it's still going strong. It is very well built and what's the most important sound quality is extremely sharp, I have never had any complaints about background noise even though my computer is just like few inches away. It is basically plug and play microphone, there is no need of setting up any software or drivers, it is really as easy as that: just plug in and use it straight away. It has small control panel, makes it easy to adjust sound levels and of course when needed muting your microphone. Cable itself feels quite nice and doesn't often get twisted (especially comparing to my apple earphones...). Having microphone next to your mouth can be advantageous to one who is not able to speak loudly or is surrounded by people. As mentioned before voice quality is crisp and clear, and another great thing is that it will fit to basically any headphones. If you have audiophile headphones which didn't come with build in microphone, this is the best way to transform it. I have been extremely satisfied with this microphone and I would definitely recommend it. It could be a great solution in many different scenarious, from gaming to more professional related use. Definitely highly recommended!

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.

I bought this for the Sony WH-1000XM4. I mainly use it for work and so far it's worked really well. Although the Sony WH-1000XM4 has an internal mic, I had to buy a separate mic for gaming to be used in the PS4. Mainly, I use my headphones for work. No problem at all with pairing and having phone calls, meetings, etc. When it comes to consoles, I had to get this V-MODA microphone for gaming. It's worth buying, specially when you run out of battery. Sound quality is great and high quality. I highly recommend this product for any headphones with/without a mic. If you are gaming, this mic will definitely boost your communication. The sound is clear and it's quite ergonomic. You can adjust it in any way you want. It also has a strong clip where you can adjust the incoming volume and a mute/unmute button.

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 :)

The microphone works well, it picks up a lot of sound so I moved the mic to be just below my chin and it gave me the best quality. Unfortunately, I think I got a faulty pair. It wouldn’t give me sound quality. Well, it did but I’d have to hold the wire into the headset all the way otherwise it wouldn’t work. I’m using the Sony Pulse headset, the original one from PS5. So it’s maybe 4-6 years old this headset. Only giving it a 1 star review incase this is helpful to others. This product does seem great! It’s just unfortunate it couldn’t work with my headset. Also, I purchased this so I could use my headset on pc for discord, work etc

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

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.
