Might last a year tops.

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2018

Style: Boom MicProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

The mic sounds great but this mic will only last you a year tops. I've gone through two of these now and around the one year mark right when the warranty expires it starts to develop issues with the mute/volume control knob. There is a manufacturing defect in these mics. I've seen other people complain of the same issue. The sound gets staticy and sometimes completely cut out. When I have the wheel max its not at full volume, I have to bring the wheel down a notch for it work. This happened on 2 separate units. I'd recommend a different mic instead because of this major issue.

Charles Seiler

Almost as clear as my professional studio microphone.

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2017

Style: Boom MicProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

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.

Works perfect - after a little hands-on work

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2019

Style: Boom MicProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I got this used, and I'm guessing I know why the last person returned it - when I first plugged it into my headphones it sounded awful. The bass was empty and replaced with a distorted hiss which is the telltale sign that the plug isn't in all the way. Sure enough, if I grabbed and pushed the plug into my headphones super hard it sounded fine... but once I let go it would sound awful again. So I had to take a pair of sharp scissors and very careful trim away a tiny sliver of the plastic rim that surrounds the base of the 3.5mm plug so that about 1mm more of it was exposed and able to slide into the headphone. Works perfect now! The only thing wrong was that it had too much plastic on the 3.5mm plug going into the headphone. Such a weird defect, but easy to fix.

Besides that odd manufacturing defect, the rest of the product works flawlessly. The mic isn't going to get an award for noise cancellation but it isn't super-sensitive to background noise either. Voice quality is definitely good enough for gaming/discord, and the mic is adjustable so you can put it where you want around your face to avoid breathing on it. It's a lot cheaper than a ModMic and it's easier to use - this is just ONE cable that you plug into your headphone, then unplug when you're done, as opposed to having a separate mic with its own separate cable and separate attachment. So that's very handy, and it allows me to easily turn my headphones into a full-on gaming headset!

Awesome System for my Philips Fidelio X2!

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2017

Style: Boom MicProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

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.

Fantastic Audio Quality for a Low Price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2017

Style: Boom MicProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I spent a lot of time looking at different gaming headsets. The mic quality on many of them are questionable, but the biggest problem was the high cost. It is hard to justify paying hundreds of pounds on a gaming headset; especially when they all use cables that are physically connected to the headphones (so if the cable snaps, they need to be binned).

The beauty of the BoomPro mic is that they can be used with any pair of headphones with a 3.5mm headphone jack. This means you can convert your favourite headphones into a gaming headset. This makes much more sense to me as most gaming headsets are either too big, are bad for listening to music, or just too expensive. With the BoomPro you can get the best of both worlds.

The microphone quality is very good. It is more than good enough for playing games with friends or live streaming. I use my V Moda headphones when working at my computer and then simply take out the regular audio cable and insert the boom pro when I am playing games.

Check out my video review for more information as to what you get in the box and how the mic sounds :)

Sony WH-1000XM2 setup

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2018

Style: Boom MicProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

Pros:
Plug and play setup
Overall OK Quality
Great Noise Cancellation

Cons:
Loose plug
Control clip too close to mic and feels cheap quality

I have bought these for my Sony WH-1000XM2 since the build-in mic by Sony is terrible and has poor (close to none) noise cancelling. The setup is great - just plug and you are ready-to-go. The noise cancelling is great and I had no problems even when speaking with lots of background noise around me (feedback I had from the other side was there could not hear any background noise at all).

Here comes to the problem though - the 3.5mm cable that plugs directly to the headset is loose meaning I constantly lose the stereo sound (I only hear the left headphone echoing). What's even worse it that the cable disconnects completely from time to time unless I am not 100% static and not moving my head at all and when it does unplug my headphones goes OFF (automatic function by Sony), meaning I still hear some sound, however I cannot use any of my active noise cancelling headphones functions unless I force the plug back-in and turn them on. It seems the 3.5mm cable is just too thick for most of the headphones on the market and just cannot stay firmly connected (see comparison with the original Sony WH-1000XM2 3.5mm cable)

Works perfect with the Sony WH-1000xm3

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 7, 2019

Style: Boom MicProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I was using the corsair void pro wireless for gaming and got a new pair of Sony WH-1000xm3's for music.

I loved my new Sony's and ended up researching how I could use its mic when playing games, I discovered this wasn't really practical.

I then asked reddit for a solution, and was recommended this product.

This is the perfect solution, audio is crisp and clear and everything works as expected.

A tip for buyers would be to look up how to play back the mic output through your headphones through windows sound controller.

Great Microphone!

Fantastic little mic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 10, 2019

Style: Boom MicProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

A fantastic microphone for the money. Add it to a good pair of headphones like the Phillips SHP-9500 and you'll have a much better headset than most £200 headsets on sale.

The mic is extremely clear. Not too trebbly, and has good lowend and depth to it. The only downside is it can pickup more background noise than I'd have wished for. It also doesn't come with a boom pop filter.

The mute switch and volume slider is nice and works well. The cable is great quality, a braided black cable which is fairly thin and unobtrusive. Don't let that put you off, it feels that it will last the test of time.

I had to use the provided splitter for it to work on my PC so be cautious. It wouldn't work on the my PC IO with the single 3.5mm jack. I put the splitter into 1 mic input and 1 audio input on my internal soundcard to work.

Sound quality to the headphones is completely unaffected which is a huge plus.

All in all a great and clever little device

Expensive for what it is and has some issues

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2020

Style: Boom MicProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

First off the sound quality produced by this mic is very good and that's the best part about it. However there are a few issues I have with this product. The packaging of the product is quite nice but the actually product feels very overpriced for what you are getting. You can buy an entire gaming headset with similar quality at this price.

Secondly the inline control is too heavy and bulky. It is also too close to the microphone itself, it should be about 5cm lower down the cable. Right now it is at nipple height so has to be clipped to your clothes to avoid irritation. It also snags really easily on things. The inline control is very poor.

Lastly there is zero noise cancelling with this mic and both sides record audio so this is no better than using a desktop microphone as it picks up other noise around you easily.
