V-Moda BoomPro Microphone | For Gaming & Communication | Wired - 3.5 mm Jack | Flexible Boom

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.

I'll try to be brief... As someone else wrote, this feels like a decent "version 1" attempt. It's good in some ways and significantly annoying in others. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. 3 feels mean, 4 feels too generous. Pros: One of few comparable items on the market. Probably the best on offer. Has mute and volume control. Though I actually would have preferred it didn't. Mic seems to work well. Braided cable! Tangle-free and non-catchy. Cons: Cost. This thing costs more than I paid for a Plantronics RIG headset with USB mixer which I picked up in a sale and more than the Logitech USB headset I sometimes use which was not bought in a sale. It ought to be half the price I paid (mid-way between 20 and 30 quid). The clip. It shouldn't be there, or it should be less bulky. It rests nicely near your shoulder, so it isn't hard to locate. But if I don't use the clip, it constantly catches on my clothes and pulls the headset off my head. If I use it, I forget to unclip it when I take the headset off. Both outcomes are annoying. The mic boom is too flimsy. It's really thin and doesn't feel durable. Perhaps it is, but I am worried about it. It's easy to knock it and end up bending it away from where you want it.

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

I've had this mic for coming up to 5 years and it's still great, truly worth the money. It was either this or getting a headset which at the time wasn't really an option for me. The mic is flexible but not flimsy and I can position it however I need to. It's really lightweight so whenever I've needed to take it with me it fits in my headphone case. I use it with my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones (yes, I've had both for a while) so they do sound pretty great. I've been told that the mic is pretty clear too. Having additional volume control (not linked to the connected device's volume) is my favourite thing and you can mute the mic directly on it as well. Though recently when I'd mute it this way on a call with someone I was told that it caused them to hear my audio which was a bit weird but before that it hadn't been mentioned to me (so could be due to wear and tear?) I tend to have my headphones turned off while I use this but they work well either way if you'd rather use them with your headphones' noise cancelling. There have been a number of times where I've knocked the mic out of my headphones (due to general clumsiness) neither side where I connect the mic too feels any looser than it did before. I hope this continues to last but if it doesn't, I would definitely buy a new one. So if you're in similar position, go ahead it's a great and reliable product :).

I got this because I had a pair of headphone (beyerdynamic custom one) with a detachable cable. However, they did not have a mic so I could not use them for gaming on my PS4. Also, the mic on my laptop was not that great. But these work brilliantly! The sound quality is amazing! And they work with my laptop, phone, and PS4. No issues. The price is slighly steep, but it is definitely worth the sound quality! You can control sound volume with a knob/scroll. You can also switch the mic on and off using a switch. They all work perfectly, The cable is braded and everything feels high quality. Except the case of the volume/mic control. The plastic is not... fancy? OK, at this point I am expecting too much hahah

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

I am overall satisfied with the product. I bought it so that I could use my Sony WH1000XM3s as gaming headphones, and it works like a charm! These 2 products together make a great pair of gaming headphones that are actually just regular headphones. Now to the review... The microphone quality is great for the price and portability, but the product has one major flaw... The in line volume slider seems to affect the physical connection between the audio devices. If the volume slider is low (40% volume), it seems to also mean a lower variation of sounds that come through the headphones. This is difficult to describe in words, but turning down the volume past a very specific point means that, for example, footsteps in PUBG suddenly become completely inaudible past 5 metres, but gunshots are unaffected. This doesn't make sense, but this is a real thing. Once again the volume slider causes another issue... Turning the volume slider from the very lowest volume to the very highest volume follows this pattern: The volume level seems to go from silent, then to quiet, then to an acceptable level (loud enough, but you can't hear footsteps for some reason). Turning the slider up more actually then seems to reduce volume up to a certain point, after which it suddenly starts to get very loud. Finally, for some reason, turning the slider up to the top (100%) makes it actually become quieter than when it is at 80%. This once again makes no sense. Finally, the third issue is that once you turn the volume up past about 60%, the cable starts to split audio unevenly between the left and right channels. This means that for discord calls, people talking will be coming louder out of one ear than another. There seems to be a sweet spot at around 80% volume where audio is evenly distributed between the left and right channels and is as loud and varied in frequcies as possible. This sweet spot is absolutely tiny, so I've literally marked it with correction fluid. Nudging the volume slider slightly will knock the audio back more to one channel. It is a painful product to use unless you mark that sweet spot. When you do however, it's actually a great investment. The microphone quality genuinely is impressive for the size. I use a sponge cap on mine to reduce the noise that breathing over it makes. I would give it 5 stars, but I want to be transparent on its flaws, which are totally avoidable if you set it up correctly. The in line mute is great to have and I do recommend this product.

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.
