HansnBy Boom Microphone Cable compatible with Play Station PS4 or Xbox One Controller, PC - Boompro Gaming Mic, Compatible with Audio Technica ATH-M50x, ATH-M40x, ATH-M70x Headphones (150CM)

I bought this so could add it to my Beats Studio Pros so I could use them to game on my xbox and have communication with my mates. I bought this over a year and a half ago and it's still going strong. Great product that I would definitely recommend to others. Mic sounds clear too!

Does exactly what you'd hope, converting a pair of headphones into a headset with a simple cable swap. The microphone is good quality (comparable to ~£150 Sennheiser gaming headset) and comes with a small foam pop shield and a decently bendy boom. The clip has a resistive volume dial (i.e. doesn't control the system volume directly) which is useful to offset volume if the system volume level is too high. The cable is quite phonic (i.e. friction results in noise transmitting up the cable) but has a clip to attach to clothing which eliminates this.

The microphone itself is surprisingly good - it's hard to distinguish it from my desk condenser mic for voice chat, and it integrates into my HD599se perfectly. The only downside that gets is -1 star is that I'm not a fan of the inline mic switch and volume rocker being so close to the headset end of the cable (I don't need it at all to be honest, and it's a little bulky), and the end of the cable is a right-angle connector, which might suit some people, but puts needless strain on my 3.5mm dongle in my setup.

My setup consists of a iFi Zen USB DAC, connecting to my Audio Technica M50X, which normally provides a crystal clear sound, without background noise but sadly when using this microphone I have a permanent high pitch noise, which is caused by the microphone input, disconnecting this microphone removes the noise. The build quality of the cable is fine, but the control box rattles.

Works as intended for headphones

I use this wire for gaming with my Sony MDR-1A headphones and only for gaming. The sound quality takes a slight hit in exchange for your mic quality being boosted significantly. I have a separate Aux cable I use instead of this when I listen to music or watch shows/movies/videos. It’s nothing really to have a big issue with if this is your only cable. The pop shield doesn’t stay on so I’ve lost it a while ago but the mic still works fine without it. Mic doesn’t stick out as much as I’d like so it hovers around the side of my cheek. This isn’t much of an issue seeing as everyone can hear me perfectly fine, but I imagine it doesn’t look as good. I’ve has this for around half a year and the wire still has a very slight strange smell to it that is most likely just the material they used to braid the cable. Speaking of the braided cable, it is much thinner than I thought it would be. Does not feel like it’s sturdy at all. Value for money is okay but I do wish it was cheaper. This is the only wire I could find like this so I didn’t exactly have a choice. Overall this is only recommended if this is your only option. Mic is great. Sound and Build Quality is subpar.

Like others on here, I wanted to turn my great sounding Sony headset into a gaming headset. I looked at, for far too long, this model (£20), V-MODA BoomPro (£30), Antlion Audio ModMic (£60), and the Antlion Audio ModMic Wireless Attachable (£120). The main feature I was looking for was a noise isolating mic as I live in a small flat with lots of background noise. All but the wired ModMic seem to have omnidirectional mics which people complained picked up everything in the room. However, I was put off by ModMic's attachable design and much preferred the 3.5mm jack attachment approach of this model and the V-MODA. The V-MODA is far more widely reviewed than this unbranded one but a couple of comments made me wary. One saying they didn't work well with the Sony WH-1000XM2s due to the 3.5mm jack and another saying they worked great for the WH-1000XM3s. I am not quite sure what the difference in connector is between the two (if any) but the pictures in Kostadin Kostadinov's review highlighted that my WH-1000XM4s also have the same thinned 3.5mm jack end. https://amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/R2NDSQDAU5NDUX/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00BJ17WKK In the end I got this model in the 'For-Sony-MDRXX/WHXX' variant, the 3.5mm jack fits perfectly and has an design just like the cable included with the headphones. But the reviews aren't wrong, it's picks up everything! I tried enabling krisp on discord but didn't have much luck with it. Thankfully NVIDIA have released their RTX Voice app for non RTX cards. On my GTX 1080 there is no noticeable performance drop whilst gaming and it does an amazing job of drowning out background noise. It's the perfect combo!

I was looking for an alternative to the V Moda boom mic which would be compatible with the proprietary connection of the Audio Technica ATHM40X headphones to use as a gaming headset. First impreasions: - The packaging is very clean, no noticeable logos or company information other than a compatibility sticker, in line with what you might expect. Upon opening the box I was pleasently surprised to see the mic securely fixed into a plastic tray and all jack connections protected by individual plastic sleeves. The cables are braided and jack housings are of a thick semi hard rubber construction and are reassuringly solid. Connections are gold plated and the base of each jack has a slightly thicker flange leading to the jack housing, a nice touch. The inline mute/volume works as expected and if I had 1 complaint for my £19.99 it would be that the housing for the mute/volume feels a bit flimsy and certainly not consistent with the higher than expected quality of the rest of the product. The boom of the mic is roughly 3 inches long and is perhaps not as pliable as I expected, although it does stay in place. The capsule housing looks good, with a mat grey finish and (what looks and feels to be) a metal grill cap. Sound quality is obviously subjective, but my initial impressions are very positive. With the mic placed about an inch from my mouth I heard no noticeable clipping or distortion and the mic has a very nice warm tone, not nasal or thin at all and captures bass, mid and treble frequencies equally with pop shield on and off. My only real very minor complaint as far as the mic goes is external sound pick up, but assume this is down to the mic being uni directional and wasn't as bad as it could be. Once I've used it for a few weeks I'll come back and update on durability and more thoughts on the mic itself.
