Customers are mixed about the performance of the microphone. Some mention that it works really well, and setup is easy. They say it's perfectly usable, and does what it has to do. However, other customers say that it stops working, and the battery dies quickly. The unit would just turn off when attempting to charge it, and it keeps going into paired mode.

"...But the Mic also comes with 12 hours of battery, so it is unlikely that you will run into the problem of charging it while using it, but mistakes..." Read more

Customers have connectivity issues with the microphone. They mention that it doesn't like to stay paired, has a bad habit of dropping connection, and has one of the worst Bluetooth capabilities.

What's included:
- Wireless Mod Mic (Nearly 8 inches)
- USB Dongle (Slightly below 2.5 inches)
- USB A to Micro USB charging cable (5 ft)
- USB Extender cable, for the USB Dongle (3 ft, 4 inches)
- Zipper carrying storage case
- 2x Magnetic Base Clamp
- 2x Sticky circle pads
- 1x Sticky cable management holder (For your USB Extender cable, if you choose to use it(?))
- User Manual/Pro Tips sheet
- "Read this!" Installation Guide paper
Pros:
1. You only have to pair the device once - For example, after you restart your PC for an update or something, the Mic and it's USB dongle will simply auto-reconnect and be ready to use without having you to do anything else.
2. Wireless Magnetic Connection - Since the Mic is wireless with a magnetic connection, you can simply pull it off and stick it onto any metallic surface that is close to you. Such as your own PC's case, metal bars on or next to your desk, etc. I think it is useful for situations of when you don't want to wear the Mic, such as eating at your desk and you don't want to get your Mic dirty. All you gotta do is pull it off and stick it onto somewhere close to you, when you are done with eating or whatever else, you can just grab it again and pop it back on your headphones.
3. Usage while Charging - You can also use the Mic while it is charging, for this reason, I recommend to anyone with the Mic to place it on the right side of their headphones. So that the charging port is facing down, it would feel a bit awkward to have the cable coming from the top, and that will force the cable connection to possibly bend and cause damage. But the Mic also comes with 12 hours of battery, so it is unlikely that you will run into the problem of charging it while using it, but mistakes can happen and sometimes we forget to charge it, so it would be a good idea to think ahead, just in case.
4. Superb Voice Quality - All of my friends says my voice is a lot clearer than before, when I was using headsets. The Mic can go up to "1 channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz" in sound settings.
5. Plug & Play - No software installation required, just plug everything in and it is ready to go.
6. A really long battery life - Self-explanatory.
Cons (More like "Could be improved" or just inconvenience):
1. Mute button requires some pressure - The mute button that is in between the 3 lights on the Mic requires quite a bit of pressure to be pressed down. You can't just lightly push the button to mute, If there's a level of pressure of between 1-10, with 1 being really light touch and 10 being enough pressure to push your whole head before it activates, I'd say it is at 7.
2. A really solid adjustable Mic wire - That adjustable wire between (not sure what to call it) the 3 lights and the microphone itself at the front, it is a really solid piece of wire/tube, which is a good thing, but a bit TOO solid. The magnets that hold the Mic up is strong enough to keep it attached, but not enough from external pressure, such as from your hand. So when you want to adjust the mic position, you have to use two hands, otherwise, you would accidentally push the Mic itself off and it would fall off.
Neutral:
1. Mic Status - The 3 lights on the Mic indicates Connected (Blue), Muted (Red), and Charging (Yellow), you can't really see the status of your Mic unless you pull it off and look at it or look at the USB Dongle (Such as muted). You do get a USB extender cable to extend the reach of the USB Dongle, for if you don't want to plug it straight into your PC's USB ports. But if you don't want to use the cable, I would recommend that you plug the Dongle to the frontal or top side of USB ports that are on your PC case, if applicable. In case you don't want to plug it to the backside, where you can't see the lights on the Dongle to check status.
A little addition I think that could make it slightly better:
I think the USB Dongle should have a little magnet too, because when you're not using your mic (completely off), the dongle will just keep blinking until it is reconnected. So to prevent constant usage, they should add a little magnet to the dongle too, so that you can just pull it out of your USB port and stick it onto your PC case, then grab it and plug it back in when you're using your Mic again.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this Wireless Mod Mic, I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is using Headphones + separate Mic setup and wants the freedom of choosing what you want to do with your Mic, it is a lot better than headsets. The Cons & Neutral aren't much of a deal-breaker to me, they are just things that could be improved to make it an even better Mic.

I have used a blue yeti for roughly 10 years, every time I try to move to a wireless headset w mic, or another more convenient mic solution I am told it sounds like crap by my friends, and I switch back to the Yeti. This mic delivers 90%-95% of the quality as the giant Yeti. I will be keeping this set up, and finally retiring the yeti. Unlike a desktop mic, this one stays in position in relation to your mouth, keeping the sound clear and consistent. I attached this mic to Sennheiser HD 660 S headphones with no trouble, these have metal mesh on the sides, it's rock solid.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 3-28-2019!! The useless slugs at Microsoft who couldn't develop their way out of a box released a buggy update at some point since the time I posted this review. The audio quality is dropped down to old telephone quality which sounds really awful. Simply doing the normal method of quality change through the icon on the bottom right and going into properties to change it simply doesn't work. It always reverts back to telephone. You have to change the quality settings through the control panel route.
Well I've had my ModMic from 2016 and never had an issue but I've always hated the cable. It was long and rigid so it never really just flowed but, it was a small price to pay for a better headset setup. I was pretty stoked to see it come in a wireless flavor now and I got it for xmas.
Pros:
- WIRELESS! Not having that cable....it's like running around without underwear on. It's great.
- Those new magnets, same size but man do they suck that mic down. I really like them.
- Very simple intuitive controls. All on one button. Tap it to mute, hold it down for a couple seconds for on/off, simple
as that, no extra crap needed.
- Sound quality is what you'd expect from ModMic
- Battery life seems to be fine, I just throw mine on a charger when it's not in use but I went 5ish hours so wasn't a huge deal. Due to location of the charger you can easily just plug a usb cable into your mic and keep on going, especially if your keyboard has a hub. However, downside will be listed in cons.
Con:
- The idea that you can charge your mic while playing, is great, but they give you a bulky rigid usb cable to do so. There's plenty of soft braided cables out there to make it less a pain to charge while playing, especially for the 120 dollar price tag.
- The 120 dollar price tag is a bit of a bite to take. I got it for xmas so...I didn't have to worry about it. I don't think it's worth 120 at all given that:
- The quality feel of things isn't what I'd expect for a 120 device. The plastics used are cheap and the wireless hub is huge. Plugging it into a hub on your keyboard results in the other port almost not being able to be used. The case it comes in REAKS of burned materials. They claim it's "normal in the manufacturing process" which is just a cop out excuse for "it's made in a Chinese factory with awful working conditions because we wanted to make sure we were able to get the most profit out of the 120 we're charging". Nothing I've ever bought smelled like it came out of a burning building before. It's a piss poor excuse and they should feel ashamed for defending it.
- The hub only shuts off with the computer, unless you unplug it. Otherwise if you shut your mic off like you should, you get this irritating blue blinking light till you turn the mic back on.
- QC obviously isn't there yet as the first one I received was defective. The switch to go to Uni-Directional was broke and didn't allow sound through so was basically just a mute switch. Pretty pathetic if you ask me, for 120 dollars.
Other Thoughts:
- While I do believe there were more cons than pros to this, especially given for the price you'd expect a top tier feeling device, I will say that ModMic was pretty quick to respond to the email I sent after xmas about it. They gave me a list of directions to go through for testing purposes but I felt it was pointless. The mic simply didn't work when switched, no testing is going to prove that wrong. They offered a replacement free of charge from their site but given it was time sensitive, Amazon overnighted me a replacement which was a better way to go.
Having a wireless mic is pretty awesome, especially if you get a working one (which I did on my 2nd one) but the quality of it, the dead mic on my first order, there isn't 120 dollars here. Wireless technology is old at this point. Antlion has a very strong following, there is no excuse of "niche product" to charge this much to make up for low sales. Their low sales are going to come from it being so expensive simply because it's a wireless modmic. Nothing they did is any different than what's been done in the professional audio industry. Plenty of devices out there that are wireless using the APTX drivers that don't even cost this much.
- I've included pictures of it attached to both my Audioquest Nighthawks and Focal Elear.

Damit kann man jedes Headset bzw. Kopfhörer zu einem wirklich guten Klang umbauen.
Great performance compared to many usb microphones
Lightweight and comfortable
For me, this wireless mod mic is the answer. It magnets to my nice headset, and doesn't require a mic line in port anywhere near by.
It sounds amazing. I use this for work from home, so I take calls using it all day long. The battery has no issues getting through an 8 hour work day with heavy use. I have received compliments on my sound quality, and no one has reported any difficulty hearing me.
I used the extra magnet base on the corner of my monitor. I can magnet the mic there, with the boom arm sticking up, and switch the mic to the omni directional. It now works fine as a mic that way if I feel like using speakers instead of my headset.
My only gripe with this product is that it is very expensive. It is high quality, and has been reliable though, so I guess that's worth it. Antlion is nice to include a USB charging cable, a USB extension cable for the adapter if you need it, an extra magnet base, some extra sticky pads, and a nice zip up shell case for your mic and accessories.
If you've got an audiophile headset you want to use for work/gaming then ModMic is the answer. If you're wired in to an amp with a mic line in, or you wire straight to your motherboard, I'd say get a ModMic 4 or 5. Attaching it's cable to your headphone cable is easy, and they both go to the same place. If you've got a wireless headset, or mic line in, like me, then this wireless ModMic is the way to go.
