Is the modmic 4.0 worth the money?

[tROVLET]

hi, i just wanted to ask your opinion on this mic is this a good mic for 50$? or its just overhyped thing because of the feature

 

there is a good price on massdrop 50$ with shiping

the model is  omnidirectional muted

 

 

[DannyRyu]

its really good apparently.

the omni directional model is not as good as their other model, but its still an absolutely fine mic. Personally, 50$ for an omni mic i would avoid, but if you need a headset mounted mic, go for it.

Mind joining a skype conversation with my pals? i want to see what they think

now i have garabge 5$ mic and they dont stop complaining hehe

[Theguywhobea]

I have the 4.0 (at least I'm fairly sure it is) and most people have said it's pretty good quality on the other end. It can be a bit quiet I guess as that's the only complaint I have ever got while using it.

Keep in mind that if you plug it in some old PC (typical old Dell at work) it may sound like garbage, so don't judge it under those circumstances.

If you're not going the condenser microphone > mixer route then it is probably the best mic option I have seen for under $60.

If you're buying from their site get the uni-direction model of the 4.0, that way it picks up sounds from your desk (keyboard/mouse/etc) and sounds from the rest of the room, less effectively, and has more of a constant on your voice alone.

Isnt it bad that it does all this?

Hopefully that makes it easier to understand @tROVLET

 

 

As a whole, I use the modmic 4.0 attached to a pair of DT990 Prem 600, and the next good step up in my eyes would be buying the AT2020 USB+ for $150, so for a 3rd of that cost, the modmic does everything I need it to at a decent cost without sounding like a cheap crappy mic such as the Zalman ZM-MIC1.

Whoops! Meant to say, "That way it DOESNT..."

Guess that slipped past me in my hung-over state >.>

 

EDIT: Oh wait, just wasn't clear on that what I meant. I was trying to say it will pick up both sounds from your desk and the rest of the room, less effectively (or those sounds will be quieter)   -Guess even in my tired state, I'm not on my game

[Donk Quixote]

I think it sounds like crap, but you're not the one who has to listen to it.

[BrightCandle]

I have a modmic 4.0 omni and I had a 1.0 before. The quality was great on a Xonar card but on a Soundblaster ZX its got a lot of hiss in the background. If its good really depends on the thing you plug it into because its far from working universally for everyone. I don't really recommend it anymore.

Cheaper alternative if you're in the US: http://www.amazon.com/Headset-Buddy-Detachable-Microphone-Headphone/dp/B00DLKX7BK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1450578428&sr=1-1&keywords=moov+mic

[weez]

Imo no the modmic isn't worth $50. Moovmic for $20 is basically the same thing. I recommend that over the modmic
