UPDATE 3: Just got the new 2.0 mic today. All I have to say is the build quality is so much better than the originals. But I have logged over 500+ hrs in the original so maybe its just the illusion of a superior build in the 2.0 That being said, AntLion is a MIC master and I will continue to support them any way I can. Looking forward to the mute button version.
UPDATE 2: I have contacted Antlion about the cable and boom attachment and they were very helpful in reassuring me that the cables thinness is very deceptive and that I should not be worried. They are working on other configurations bc of demand to see certain features included that have all been mentioned here. It's been 6 days now and after constant switching of my headphones for certain uses of the Antlion mic I have not noticed any problems concerning my opinion on the cable, basically I am very happy with this mic and am continuing to recommend it to any and all of my gamer friends. This mic is a beast! BTW ppl for this thing being constantly sold out I would expect more reviews (bc it's that good) to try and get the word out, I normally don't do reviews just bc all I buy are games but something like this deserves to be talked about.
I just got this about an hour ago, ordered it last friday free shipping and here it is.
Immediately plugged it in without attaching to my headphones (VMODA) just to chat test with all my online friends, you know what they said? "Who is this?" They cannot believe the audio quality of this thing, all of them asked for the link to order, sadly sold out until June 5th which isn't too far off and if you haven't gotten one of these yet, do it now!
I also turned my mic input way down bc I used to have it cranked up just to be heard and had to yell most of the time, now I can talk normally or even whisper and they say it sounds so clear, and just for testing purposes I had someone stand in the room with me and make some noises of varying loudness just to see what was picked up, guess what they heard nothing to very little of anything, incredible!
OK, so far we all seem to get that this mic (the actual mic piece) is of great quality and that is what I picked up on by reading reviews and now owning it, but like some ppl have mentioned on here and you can kind of tell by the pics, the build quality from the point behind the mount (the cable and how the cable enters the metal adjustable tube) to the plug is very cheap, the cable is a joke.
A large gauge cable or a braided cable plus some sort of rubber sleeve at the point where the cable enters the tube could be easily applied and I don't think would add too much to the cost, but what do I know.
As far as the cable being too long that's just a matter of use/opinion. It would be nice is they offered 2 sizes 3ft/6ft. I need only 3ft not the 6ft but whatever.
If you play games online with friends working as a team or just in general any voice stuff, this mic rules them all! (Ok I don't own any other mics or headphone/mic combos but my friends all do and I can just tell that this is incredible compared to what they use, I also have 2 headphones that I am attaching this thing to, Beats By Dre Studio Editions and my VMODAs) I have avoided buying any headphone/mic sets bc they sound like garbage based on reviews I have read and considering what I have spent on my headphones I see no need to which is why this Antlion was the perfect solution for me.
Still a 5 star review from me bc the mic is what does it.
Anyways thanks for reading. And enjoy if you do buy one. (I have some friends that might be able to help me make the thing more sturdy wire wise and I might just tape the part going into the tube, idk yet but we will see how it plays out.
