Excellent sound quality, extremely versatile addition (take on, take off), great value

Absolutely fantastic. One of the best things I've ever purchased. Some people dislike how easy it can get swiveled away from your face, since it's really based on the friction caused by the auxillary head, but I love it. I've created several video tutorials for work and my voice sounds fantastically clear. And I use it with my playstation 4, and my friends say I sound crystal clear. I've had my Vmoda crossfades for probably 5 years now, and it's awesome how I can still buy a product this awesome that works with it. Coupled with the XL ear cushions, this is the most comfortable, versatile and effective headset I've ever owned. Bravo Vmoda, bravo! If only the materials from the original crossfades hadn't degraded so badly that I look like a homeless audiophile! 1/10/2019 EDIT: My dog has chewed through two sets, and I'm now on my third. THAT is how badly I cannot live without this mic.

Awesome mic for an awesome headset!

I bought this at the same time as I purchased the V-MODA Crossfade M-100 headphones and I'm super happy I did. Adding this to that wonderful headset took it to the next level allowing me to retire my current headset as my daily VoIP headset. I'm in IT support so I spend most of my day with a headset on my head and I do a ton of gaming again where I use a lot of voice programs as well as voice attack / speech recognition software and this mic boom works awesome. I'm coming from an Astro A50 wireless headset as well as a Razer Blackshark, both of which I love for their respective qualities. The V-MODA M-100 headset with this V-MODA mic boom out-preforms all of my other headset / mic combinations I currently own. Well worth the money. The cable is like a piece of string, meaning it's got almost zero wire feeling to it, meaning it's super flexible making it a joy to wrap up when not using it. The connectors are all gold plated and the sound quality is amazing. I have been polling people for a day asking if they notice any difference in my mic quality and all of them either said there was no difference or it was better. I'm happy with the no difference because I bought the V-MODA M-100 headset for the sound quality but was worried that the additional mic boom would be sub-standard in my voice chat programs. Again, coming from a $300 Astro A50, I didn't want my sound quality to go backward, and it did not. In the cases where it sounded better I can attribute that to the fact that you can get this mic much closer to your mouth than with the Astro A50 meaning there is a more intimate feeling to your voice with the mic closer. If you have a V-MODA or compatible headset and you're wondering if this mic will work, just go ahead and click on buy because you won't be disappointed.

Works very well with my Bose QC35

Friends talked me into online gaming. Bought this to plug my Bose QC35 into my PC. I needed to buy an adapter because the headphones use a 2.5mm plug. Using the included splitter made it easy to plug into the speaker and mic jacks on the front of the PC. After struggling for a few minutes, before remembering to open Windows 10 privacy settings and allowing apps to access the microphone, everything works and works well. Sound quality is good. Mic quality is good. Friends said I was difficult to hear at times, but between amplifying the mic with my own sound controls and them turning up the volume on my channel in Discord everything is running smoothly. This adapter works for the QC35, but does need you to use a knife and knock the corner off the soft rubber/plastic around the male end so it'll fit into the headphones securely. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017VHYL72/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Seamlessly transforms your hi-fi headphones into a gaming headset!

The V-Moda BoomPro mic is an amazing attachment to any headphone with a 3.5mm AUX port, easily converting your favorite headphones into a gaming headset. I use this with my Bose QC35 and a 3.5mm Female to 2.5mm Male adapter from RadioShack's online store (yes, they do still exist). I bring my gaming laptop when I travel for work, and this setup pairs extremely well and the mic quality is incredible. I did a simple record and playback test using the Windows 10 built-in Voice Recorder app and compared this to the Corsair Void Pro Wireless headset, which I use at home on my gaming PC. The BoomPro sounds much fuller and true picking up more deep and bassy tones, while the Void Pro's mic sounds compressed and nasally, which is basically the difference between using a mic plugged in vs wireless. The BoomPro does not come with a pop filter/foam cover, but I just took the foam cover off of an Xbox One headset I had laying around, and it fit perfectly. One bit to mention regarding the mic arm is that it is very flexible which is great to get the mic in the perfect position, but it is easily moved with any force. Not a pro nor a con, but some people may find the sensitivity of the arm annoying. Overall, I am very pleased with the BoomPro/QC35 pairing. Anyone looking to use their beloved headphones to game without using a dedicated "gaming headset" will find that the V-Moda BoomPro seamlessly transforms your hi-fi headphones into a gaming headset.

WORKS ON AUDIO TECHNICA ATH-M50X!!!! BUT EXTRA STEPS REQUIRED

I'm glad I came across this gaming headset because I had a perfect set of Audio Technicas that I wasn't using. As I mentioned in the headline, it is possible to get this mic to work if you are willing to put in a little bit of work. its not nearly as hard as I am about to describe the steps and additional piece that is needed. First and foremost, this item (BoomPro) is a 3.5mm jack, and the M50x is a 2.5mm jack. so the jack won't even fit into the audio technica headphones. you will need to go to your local radio shack to find a 3.5mm fem to 2.5mm male adapter. as shown in my picture, you specifically need to get the BARREL fitment because the hole in the audio technicas where you would plug into the headset is a bit deep. another crucial and very important step that needs to be taken is the removal process of the locking mechanism that the m50x has. as all owners should know, the headphones allow you to remove the cable, but it comes with a special cable(s) where it makes you to twist and lock the cable so its snug and won't yank out. it is very simple, and if you type in the YouTube search " audio technica athm50x removing lock mechanism" someone posted a very easy tutorial on how to remove it so any 2.5mm jack can work with the headset. its as easy as removing 8 screws total, removal of the locking mechanism, then screws back on. I played Call of Duty with my friends, and on there end they said they can hear me loud and clear. I've had no issues thus far at the time of the review, and I can happily say the audio technicas sound great as a gaming headset for both audio and mic. UPDATE 02/08/16 as a disclosure, i use this gaming headset for my xbox one. you need to buy the audio adapter for this to work properly. the adapter allows you to control the gaming volume and chat volume separately. i had issues where when i tried to turn up the chat volume, the gaming volume would simultaneously turn up as well.. which was extremely annoying because if both were on full blast, it was hard to hear the chat over all the gun fire playing call of duty. so because of personal preference, i wanted chat volume at max while having the gaming volume from low-mid volume. i was able to fix this issue by replacing the xbox one audio adapter. so if anyone else runs into this problem, its not the BoomPro, it will most likely be a faulty xbox one adapter

Works great when modified for Sony XB950N1

This BoomPro Mic works great on my xbox and computer. I dremeled the tip a bit to make it work with the recessed jack on my Sony XB950N1 headphones. I wasn't about to spend the money to buy a gaming headset when I have those already so this was a good solution. I like the on-cord volume control and the microphone mute and the cable is the nice braided quality one. I just kinda put some painters tape on the parts I didn't want to grind and gently dremeled some off at a low speed and sanded with a high grit sand paper to smooth it back up. I remember when I used to need to do this kind of mod on my other wired headphone cords with my first couple iPhones. The mic pretty much stays where i put it and it works with gaming and cortana.

V-MODA BoomPro works with Sennheiser HD 558s after locking removal

I bought this microphone to use with the Sennheiser HD 558s. The microphone works very well, noise isolation is fantastic, doesn't pick up person talking behind me (or dog). This was my first step up from the crappy "gaming headsets" and to anyone else looking to do the same with any headphones of your choice...DO IT. Product comes with Y-splitter for PC and normal 3.5 (4pin) jack to use with Xbox One and PS4. Pros: Cable quality clear output 360 flexibility of mic Ability to add any quality headphones with the product! Cons: Cable is a little short for what i'm used to for my PC setup, for any console users its probably a little long. The volume rocker is a little weighted and close to mic. I know shirt clip, etc. but along with the cable length I feel cut short. and the weight you can notice a drag.

Awesome System for my Philips Fidelio X2!

I have Philips Fidelio X2 and this thing works awesome and so much more clearer than my old Logitech USB Desktop mic. One thing to note is I used the splitter it came with and the Mic went into my motherboard and the headphone went into my Schiit Fulla 2 and got really loud buzzing noises. The reason for this is you now have two different grounds in the cable. To solve this issue I would highly suggest that you get the Mpow Ground Loop Noise Isolator on Amazon. This will solve you buzzing noise but be warned that you will need to turn up your amp since this will take away some of the power in the line.

Incredible addition to my gaming experience!

Bought this product after I (finally) gave in after 15 years and decided to play games online. Tried to use some of my headphones that had a built in mic and people constantly complained that I was not able to be heard, so I tried to look for the best possible solution (that was also semi cheap). This fit the bill, so I ordered and now I'm blown away! People say the quality is amazing, and I had one slight audio hiccup in four hours of play so far, for less than a second. Pros: - Has an extremely flexible mic. I have no idea how they made it seem so thin but also super sturdy. This will bend into whatever shape you need it to - The sound quality was awesome. Haven't gotten a chance to hear it myself unfortunately, but everyone else on the other end said it was a night and day difference between a regular mic that'd come with your headphones. - It comes with a PC y adapter! When you consider that these alone are anywhere from 6-10 dollars on Amazon it really makes the mic itself an absolute steal. Cons: - The ONLY thing I wish this had was some sort of wireless option. As much as I love this, I would have paid much more for a wireless variant that maybe had a tiny battery where the clip with the volume/mute button is. Not a con for this product exactly, just something on the wish list.

Almost as clear as my professional studio microphone.

As a non-gamer, I bought this for video voice overs, skype, podcasting and for use with my video camera. Now, I think this won't work with my DSLR or Canon Vixia video camera, because they require a "line level" input from a powered microphone such as the Vid-Pro lavalier microphone sold on Amazon, which takes a button cell battery and has a tiny amplifier in it. Cons: The 1/8" Y cable that comes with this is terrible. It plugs in very tight, and will never come out. But it feels permanent, once plugged in, and barely comes back out. I felt like I might break the cable trying to remove the 2 little 90 degree plugs from my computer. I would suggest buying a new headset microphone adapter Y cable, for $5 on Amazon that has straight plugs. The cord is nice and braided which feels nice, but it does create a little bit of noise when you brush it against a zipper on a sweater or coat. Not a big deal. The microphone picks up a very slight echo speaking into my custom cubicle style work desk, unless I turn it so the microphone holes are facing up and down, which completely removes any echo. The microphone won't work with my Scarlett preamp designed for large professional microphones. Pros: This V-Moda microphone sounds more clear and accurate than a professional XM8500 stage microphone I recently purchased, which sounds very dense, muffled and muddy in comparison to the V-Moda microphone. After seeing how tiny the V-Moda was, holding it in my hand, I was extremely skeptical that it could reproduce the Human voice properly without seriously distorting the frequency and tone like many other tiny non-powered microphones or cheap headset microphones. Well, the V-Moda BoomPro is not an ordinary cheap microphone. It was engineered by real sound engineers, because it blocks background sound better than my $100 studio microphone, and sounds almost as clear. The V-Moda is more a bass and mid range microphone, picking up the lows very well, without picking up the really low lows that cause distortion and muddiness. It seems to have just the right frequency response for picking up the Human voice. It does not pick up the ultra low rumbling frequencies or the ultra high shrill background noises. Somehow, the itty-bitty tiny little microphone that is nearly invisible, it records big booming sound, and reproduces my speaking voice with clarity and authority. The V-Moda is worth every penny, because it is as good as advertised. Observations and Technical Breakdown: The V-Moda doesn't reproduce the Human voice accurately. None of the microphones I've ever used sound totally natural. Microphones convert your voice into an electronic signal, so there will always be some kind of coloration of the tone of your voice, music recorded in the background, etc. The V-Moda is a little bit heavy in the low mid range area, and a little light in the high end frequency spectrum. It's designed intentionally this way to prevent background noise and to prevent shrill unnecessary high pitched sounds from being picked up by the microphone. I am perfectly happy with the sound tone of the V-Moda for Skype calls and phone calls, as it's nearly perfect. Using default settings, the V-Moda sounds more clear and less muddy than my Behringer XM8500 microphone, which was pretty shocking considering the size difference. I've heard many small microphones that sound so muffled and terrible that they are mostly useless .The V-Moda sounds very similar to my inexpensive studio microphone, an AKG P120 condenser microphone, which uses 48 volts and a preamp, a Scarlett 2i2 2nd generation. For video voice over work, the V-Moda is too mid-bass heavy for my taste. Surprisingly the V-Moda microphone seems to automatically block out frequencies below 100hz, preventing any heavy bass noises from ruining the sound. But if you want your voice to sound absolutely natural, you'll need to do some editing in a sound editor or use some kind of an equalizer. This is for people who are using this to make professional recordings. Now, again I was skeptical that this microphone could be good enough to make a professional recording. But indeed it can. You will need to do a little editing. I'll tell you how I was able to do it. First, you'll need a new computer sound card. Unless you you have a really good internal sound card in your computer, or a professional recording studio, you might get too much line noise from the cheap internal microphone port on your laptop or computer. Every computer is different. However, my laptop and my PC computer both have a lot of line noise when I use a microphone on the factory microphone input jack. I tried using the V-Moda on a Sound Blaster Audigy sound card and there was absolutely no audible line noise or hissing. This is called signal to noise ratio. Add-on sound cards that you purchase separately may be better than the internal sound card, so if you get line noise, I would recommend either buying a Sound Blaster Audigy (Open your computer and check for open PCI & PCI express slots). They make PCI or PCI Express sound cards. Or you can get a USB sound card. I found a really good PCI sound card that also doubles as a professional headphone amplifier. It's called the ASUS Xonar DG 5.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card. You can get it here on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2AVdJQm This ASUS DG sound card is designed for headsets, it has a very high signal strength so it doesn't have any line noise, and it has a built in amplifier to power expensive headphones. People report a noticeable improvement using this sound card with headphones. The ASUS DG sound card actually has an adjustable output for different types of headphones, so it can work with cheap headphones or professional 600 ohm headphones which usually require an expensive external headphone amplifier. You can configure it for different headphone OHM ratings. I've never seen this feature on any other sound cards, especially internal factory sound cards. Sound Editing: Back to the V-Moda microphone. What makes a good microphone good is it's ability to maintain the information being recorded. If you lose certain frequencies or distort the voice too much, you cannot use sound editing to fix the sound. No amount of editing can fix a bad microphone, because the sound is lost before it gets recorded. The V-Moda handles sound editing extremely well. Again, I was shocked. It's not as good as my AKG P120, but it's close enough after editing, that no normal person would ever notice a difference. The V-Moda does cut off a lot of the high frequencies and it does boost some of the low-mids, naturally, due to its design. You won't be able to magically recreate the missing high frequency sounds, but for voice recordings, that's perfectly fine and even desired in most situations. High frequency sounds are rarely desired in voice recordings, and the most popular radio broadcast microphones today have a sound tone that is very similar to this V-Moda microphone, with muted treble. The V-Moda does't have an absolutely accurate sound tone, it sounds a little bit amplified in the mid bass area, but with some sound equalizer adjustments in a sound editor program, you can make the tone sound more natural, just by reducing some of the mid bass. If you just get a free program like Audacity, then you can record your voice, then edit the sound using the built in equalizer to get the exact sound you want. I am convinced that the V-Moda records with enough quality that you can safely edit the sound recording without losing a significant amount of the audio integrity. In conclusion: The V-Moda sounds slightly muted, slightly muffled, and slightly boosted in the lower-mid bass region. But it appears to be perfectly tailored to picking up the Human voice, and blocking out things happening in the background. It's obviously a very carefully engineered microphone, and is shockingly good for the price. Unlike other microphones which sound wretched and painful to the ears, this V-Moda microphone has a very smooth, very warm sound tone, that is very clear. I am so happy to know that engineers actually engineered this microphone, unlike 99% of the other microphones out there in this price range which appear to be random accidents, and have no ability to recreate the Human voice. You'll need sound editing to remove some of the mid-bass in order to make this microphone record more accurately, but with some sound editing, I think you can make this microphone sound good enough that you won't need to ever buy a more expensive professional grade microphone. I would consider this a professional microphone for home users and hobbyists. If you need something better than this, than I would suggest getting a dynamic microphone like the Shure SM57 with an extra heavy duty gray foam wind sock, a Shure SM7, or an AKG D5. Then you'll need a preamp like a Scarlett 2i2 USB, and a 15 foot XLR microphone cable. If you need super fine sensitivty and detail, then purchase a 48 volt powered condenser microphone like the AKG P120, and a microphone stand with a boom arm on it, then you can hear a pin drop, literally. You'll want to buy a Sound Blaster Audigy or the ASUS DG sound card if you are using a PC computer, if you hear too much white noise in the background in your recordings. Start first by turning down the gain, and looking for updated drivers for your factory sound card. Edit: 11/23/2017 I received my Asus Xonar DG sound card for my 5 year old motherboard with a PCI slot on Windows 7. The sound card microphone input jack used with the V-Moda BoomPro is absolutely crystal clear, without a trace of any line noise or white noise. This V-Moda microphone sounds even better now, more natural sounding, and even more clear. I am shocked at how much better a $30 sound card can make the microphone sound. If you are having sound issues or having too much line noise, or not enough gain, try getting a new sound card. V-Moda vs. Golden Age Project D2 microphone. I bought a new dynamic professional microphone and tested it against the V-Moda yesterday. The Golden Age Project D2 sounds much worse than then V-Moda BoomPro. The same for the XM8500, which sounds much worse, but better than the D2. Again, I am so surprised. The D2 microphone was $150, but it sounds like you are speaking into a plastic bucket, compared to the natural clarity of the V-Moda. The V-Moda so far, sounds better than 2 other non-powered microphones I've tried which are far more expensive. The ASUS sound card is not perfect, it has caused my computer to lock up a few times with a blue screen, if I try to use my Scarlett Focusrite at the same time, to record multiple devices at the same time. It also takes a moment to begin recording when you engage the sound card, because it has to charge up the capacitors. The Asus sound card software allows you to do realtime "EQ" adjustment of your microphone input, and it sounds excellent, with an improvement in the high frequency response of the Vmoda mic, which, for the price of the sound card ($30) is truly amazing. With the treble turned up, the Vmoda sounds even more clear and crisp. Conclusion: Get a new computer sound card, and don't worry about buying a professional condenser or studio microphone. Get the V-Moda.
