Antlion AudioModMic Wireless Attachable Uni- and Omni- Directional Microphone with Mute Switch, Compatible with Mac, Windows PC, PlayStation 4 and more

Bought the Antlion Audio ModMic Wireless for use with MS Teams as working from home is becoming the new normal and on first use the sound and build quality is excellent. The mic is fairly lightweight and comes with a sturdy magnetic mount for use with any headset.Only two small issues with the ModMic, the first is that there is a single button to turn off, mute and pair so when trying to turn it off, if you are a bit slow, can put the mic into pairing mode or too quick it just toggles the mute. The second issue is with the USB receiver module is a bit bulky and can only be used with full size USB A type ports and the width can cover multiple ports if they are close together. The included extension lead does go some way to help with this issue though.Although the first mic that arrived had a fault the support staff at both Antlion and Amazon helped and a replacement was sent out immediately.Overall, very happy with both the microphone and the service.

I hate having self standing or on arm microphones, I feel like they get in the way, they're not THAT amazing and overall, I like to be able to walk around with my headphones and speak to people. This microphone is AMAZING, people I talk to don't realise it's a microphone mounted onto a pair of headphones/headset and think it's a studio quality microphone.I did have major connectivity issues before, however AntLion since did a recall and replaced everyones defected units and since then, flawless.

This microphone is great. The audio quality is amazing. There are loads of reviews online showing you a demo of what these sound like so you can get a point of reference compared to other gaming headsets out there.Battery life is great, and the indicator on the dongle is really helpful as a low battery indicator. Just keep in mind that the amber colour isn't a friendly "hey, you've only got a couple of hours left". It's a, hey, you got about 20-30 minutes, then I'm done.That being said, the battery life I've found so far, is between 12 and 15 hours, so that gives you a decent amount of time. Just keep in mind that if you do let it die, you'll have to plug it in, and if you have it on the left, the USB port sticks out of the top so the cable management becomes a real issue.Things that aren't great about this are relatively minor. The first one wouldn't work when switched to the high quality recording mode so had to be replaced.Secondly, the dongle doesn't seem to have great range. at approx 1.2 - 1.5m away from me (raised up slightly also) the mic couldn't find the dongle and connect. This was easily sorted by using the USB port in my keyboard, which is a great way to see the low battery indicator, but SUPER annoying when the mic is off, as it will continuously flash blue to tell you it isn't connected. Again, easily remedied by removing the dongle but it would be nice to have it in my PC, out of my peripherals.Other than that, this is definitely worth the money. I have it stuck to my HD58XX headphones, and expect to be using this setup for a long time.

Positives and negatives, which shouldn't really be the case at this price point.I would like to start with a statement about the sound quality on this mic - it is absolutely incredible considering the wireless and "headset-mounted" nature of the mic.For context, I am using this with my Sony WH-910N (wireless headset) that has fantastic noise cancelling and great audio quality on the headphones side, but the quality drops when I enable the mic and put it in headset mode.The ModMic attaches very easily with incredibly strong magnets, even to the soft rubber casing and allows me to run my headset in maximum quality "headphone-only" mode.The audio recording quality of the ModMic seems to be on a par with decent quality streaming microphones (larger ones on a boom) and several colleagues have commented that it sounds like I'm in a recording studio when I switch to this one from my office Plantronics headset and I'm in a small "bouncy" room with several fans, so a fair bit of white noise to cancel.Despite the slightly excessive price tag, I would buy another one of these as soon as they overcome the two main problems, but until then I would only give this a fairly reserved recommendation given the one main negative (and one minor one):Negatives:Minor nuisance, but the power connector is still micro USB: USB-C has been around for ten years now and mainstream on every high-end device that I've purchased in the last 8 years. I can only assume that the design is over ten years old as even budget rechargeable devices are all USB-C now. I'm really hoping that re-release a USB-C version soon, especially if they fix the main annoyance at the same time....The main nuisance is the pairing "memory".... or complete lack of it! Every time your computer goes to sleep it will lose the pairing. The only way to avoid this is to remember to manually turn the headset off (2-3sec press on the power button) before the PC goes to sleep, then turn it back on when you start using it again. It will almost certainly unpair itself a lot and re-pairing is done by holding the dongle button for several (~5-10?) seconds and doing the same for the mic power button, which puts them into the high speed flashing that indicates pairing, which normally completes in a further 5-10sec, sometimes needs to have the USB dingle unplugged, re-plugged and repeated. This will result in around 20sec delay (sometimes 1min+) from the time that you realise your PC has been asleep and unpaired the mic until you can talk on a call.... very frustrating as sometimes happens several times each day.I've tried the ModMic Discord support channel and apparently there is no BIOS patch to fix this, it is "normal and expected behaviour".Once it is working, this mic is amazing... if you're using the PC all day, it's great and battery life seems to pretty good - they claim 11h and I'm sure I've used it continuously for 8h+ on a regular basis.... problem is that it just unpairs WAY too often, seemingly due to a fairly major design oversight which is really annoying given the seriously premium pricing of the unit.If I had to buy another right now, I would probably opt for the wired version... I don't need the mic all the time, so the inconvenience of detaching the mic to walk around with my wireless headphones still on is probably less than having to re-pair the mic so often. Bonus would be around 80% saving over the wireless.

Great mic, sound quality is clear but its not a studio mic so just remember that. I have been using this since 2021 now and its 2025, i use it all day every day for work zoom calls and all night for gaming on discord, never had any issues. Only down side is needing to charge it, but I have a long cable and use put an extra mount on my headphone stand, that turns it into a desk mic for when its charging.I would love to order a new one but the lack of USB C is holding me back !Build quality has been good, No noise or hiss, and picks up my voice fine with voice activation, previously was using a Blue Yetti but it kept picking up all my keyboard noises so found this and have never looked back.
