Vmoda boom pro with the Philips SHP9500. A real open back gaming headset for under £100. It's best to use the vmoda with a studio headphone rather than an overpriced gaming headset that would already have a mic.
I used the V-Moda with music headphones. I never really did like gaming headsets so attaching the V-Moda to a pair of headphones designed for music was my favorite way to go.
Sounds better than ModMic 4 for sure but the ModMic5 sounds slightly better, the price difference is big tho. Also shotout to the built in mic on the coolermaster headset, it actually surprised me
i was gonna buy the boompro and use it w my sennheiser pxc 550 but the coolermaster sounds really good for an extra 40 bucks and ill have another pair of headphones to leave in the basement tempting
I doubt it. The pop filter is used to tame plosive wind noise against the mic capsul. (Hence the name "pop"filter) They are simply two different products with different frequency response. I think the V-Moda sounds great for what it is.
That’s freakin awesome man :) and that lineup of mic tests was legit Perfect. The fact that you started with the focus mic and then did a couple and went back to it and repeated provided excellent examples :)
One big disadvantage that on the V-Moda is that you make it share a ground. So, if you want to connect your headphones to a external DAC/Amp and your mic to a mic input, you will get a buzz. A separated cable with its own ground, like on the ModMic avoid this issues.
Good choice, mm752 is a rebrand of takstar pro 82. It is the headset with best sound quality and best microphone at that price point, really underrated. Also surprised demitri owns them but hasn't done a review of them. In my opinion They're up their with alphas and G pro! Do a review on them!!!
after looking at those headphones you mentioned im wanting to get it since you've used it for years etc does the mic attachment mean you cant plug the headphones into your pc etc? since theres only one 3.5mm jack which is also used to plug it it?
I've had the BoomPro for 5 years and paired with my SHP-9500s set-up for the last 3 years. Definitely best bang for buck gaming headset setup! Also got a pop filter after for cheap.
C.L.K. I went with the vmoda and am very happy with it. I had a little bit of work to do as my m50x is not natively compatible, but there are a few videos to help!
This is amazing for something like the Custom One Pro from Beyerdynamic. You could just switch the cable and have a headset, and when you take it somewhere else you just plug in your regular cable and are good.
@@marek3236 I think from this video it has decent vocal clarity but can u help me with the noise isolation? Is that good and does it pick up keyboard noises? Because I don't wanna spend too much just for starting out on a channel so I'd rather have this than invest more but I still wanna make sure ts actually decent noise isolation. Thanks!
Had this mic for almost 2 years after going though an Antlion and a couple usb headsets and multiple headphones. Combined it with the SHP9500S, been my gaming set-up for awhile now. They're quite durable.
There are 4 pin 3.5mm extensions on Amazon that you use for the boom pro on headphones that have deep socket connection. I have a status audio cb1 headphones and the extensions are perfect for the boom pro
Been using it for years with my SHP9500s (not available anymore). Good sound quality and a reliable single-wire solution. Better and cheaper than a mod mic if your headphones support it.
My Config: Sony WH-1000XM5 + V-Moda BoomPro (~30 Euro) + Sharkoon Gaming DAC Pro S V2 (~30 Euro). No noise, crystal clear voice (thanks to the BoomPro mic) and extremely nice sound while gaming. I asked about 10x people on Discord how I sound: 9/10 points. Tip: Make sure to deactivate the "Speak-To-Chat" setting in Sony's Headphones app, otherwise the gaming sound will not be received. I also activated the ambient noise mode and set it to 15 so that I can hear my own voice clearly when I speak. I have never been as satisfied with online gaming than these days. It doesn't get any better. Especially since I no longer need a separate headset, where the mics are no good at all - at least most of them are trash.
Hey, do you have any issues with crosstalk/echo? I have the Sony XM4s and the BoomPro but the mic "records" the sound going to the headphones. This results in an echo for my friends on discord. Also for example if I make a recording with the Windows recorder while playing music on my headphones, the music is lightly audible in the recording (even if the headphones are not connected to the BoomPro cable).
@@niemeyer2580 I don't have this problem with my XM5. Both the internal mic and the Boompro Mic - even at very high music volume - do not record the sound again.
I thought it was interesting how you guys hadn't tried any of the vmoda stuff. I can understand the headphones because they're kinda.... juvenile? But the mic was a new product to myself as well when I looked at the headphones again.
Oh my gosh, the v-moda mic is actually insanely good. Yeah, honestly the deciding factor between the ModMic 5 and the VMBM is either budget or compatibility. That's.....wow. I was not expecting it to be that good, especially considering V-Moda's inline and built-in mics are actual trash.
I've been using the Vmoda boompro mic with Philips SHP9500s for a long while now for PS4. A good setup for around $80 depending on the price of the headphones. Modmic 5 just beats out the Vmoda if you ask me. Sounds better than the modmic 4. Modmic 5 > Vmoda > Modmic 4
How did you connect your headphone/mic to your PS4? Did you have to plug your mic cable into a headphone/mic cable splitter to plug into a USB dongle with respective mic and audio input jacks to plug into the console? I just bought the same headphone and mic and want to be sure my setup will work for both console and PC.
@@toothlesstoe The BoomPro's cable is 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male but it comes with a splitter for mic and audio for PC use. For PS4 you can just ignore the splitter and plug the 3.5mm directly into your controller and it should work.
I didn't go with the BoomPro specifically for the reason that I would have to plug them into my headset. I don't want to be always wearing a mic on my headset, and I also don't want to have an additional cable when I want to swap my mic on/off. I went with the ModMic 5 for that reason. Set the mic on my desk for the moment I need it
@@LingatsuDesignAndDev Indeed, bought them when they launched, still feels like new. Besides, they come with a 2 years Local Warranty, so even if you have to spend the small amount for new ones each time, it won't break the bank.
The bass on modmic 5 is a bit tighter than vmoda boom pro, but i think when comes down to productivity, the frequency that modmic 5 produces is easier to edit later on
Ignore Dave's remark. Hearing the difference could come down to whatever audio output you use. If you're listening on earbuds or TV speakers, the difference might not be detectable at all. ModMic 5.0 was flawless, I couldn't detect any vocal artifacts. The Vmoda had some artifacts that prevented it from sounding totally natural and true, but overall, the vocal quality was detailed and clear. At a mere $30, the Vmoda has incredible value. For professional use where vocal quality must be as natural as possible, ModMic 5.0 is better. For gaming and general use, the Vmoda is totally sufficient and a much more reasonable option. If you get a pop filter on the Vmoda, all the better.
@Rastei Half of my entire comment is explicitly about the difference, you are just bad at reading comprehension... Or you are defensive about something. It is inextricably obvious in my comment that I was comparing their different sound signatures. If your dishonest interpretation of my comment is due to defensiveness, then I suspect that you blew your money on a ModMic, and now you're trying validate your excessive spending on something that is only minimally improved over reasonably-priced alternatives by trying to argue that the difference is larger than what it actually is.
I hope you can compare the Takstar Pro 82 with the Coolermaster Mh751(when that review comes out). The Takstar has an adjustable bass port and the Coolermaster one doesn't, would love to see how different they sound since theyre the same headphone.
The MH751 sounds nearly the same, they bumped up the bass slightly, it's still less bass then the first tick in the pro 82 bass port though. The treble is also ever so slightly tamed. Mid range is the same.
@@LifeLongCaboose thanks you, it is a shame they took the slider away as I love the second port for everything; and the 3rd one for certain EDM songs. Treble I found is harsh on the first revision, the second one uses a different driver design and it's a bit less harsh
@@VEN0M415 they took off the bass ports for patent reasons as it may have caused them issues. The MH751 is for sure the second driver. I much prefer the first one. But I also never use the bass vents as the increase in bass I find hurts the quality.
also the youtuber Z Reviews, reviewed the Cooler Master MH752 recently (I know this comment you posted is from a month ago, just in case you haven't seen of the video) and compared it to the Takstar Pro 82, and in his Cloud Alpha review, hinted at it, saying it was better than the Cloud Alpha in his opinion. I'm not spoiling the comparison between the Takstar Pro 82 and Cooler Master MH752 though.
Why is the G PRO Test different from the previous one? the second video the audio is different for worse, what would be the reason? it appears after the logitech Artemis G933 in the previous video.
boii that v-moda sounds so comfortable in comparison to the included mics. i sure have to admit i still love having external mics and proper headphones.
I had my second boompro crap out on me, just bought and received my third one, but also decided to get another gaming headset as well because my Vmoda cross-fades are 10 years old and the ear pads and top leather is falling apart. I got the Sennheiser-massdrop pc37X, I love the open sound, and surprisingly, my friends on Xbox chat say the Sennheiser microphone sounds better!
DON'T BUY IT IF YOU NEED THE MUTE FUNCTION. EXCELLENT microphone with the biggest problem for me. when you mute the mic there is sound leak BACK to the mic from whatever is playing to the headphones. tested 2 v-moda. the second was replacement for the issue i mention above
@@rafitavilalta Me too i thought it was my gear (mixamp pro tr+fidelio x1) that was the problem. after hours of testing i finally google the issue and i was't the only one
Are you using an independent sound card or USB adapter? I just received the Boom Pro this weekend and the mic is picking up background interference when I speak, no where near the quality of sound displayed in this video. I have it plugged directly into my mobo so I think it might be a ground loop issue.
Hey, I don't have the answer but I recently got the alpha and I was not impressed. They sound like any other headphones. Did face the same problem? Is there a solution?
@@adriandautoski1606 oh.. they definitely sound clear but you can only enjoy them while gaming. For music they are not really boomy or fun headphones like skull candy crushers (I don't own these) but the audio is definitely crystal clear. I also did get ear fatigue
I bought the mic a few months ago and used it with my Vmoda M-100s that I've had for 6 months to a year . The mic is alright if you're on a budget. I ran into issues with it. I had similar issues with audio going to my headphones bleeding into the microphone. I had issues with static from the cord causing noise to be made and transmitted into the microphone. I just thought the execution of this microphone was meh. Sort of an afterthought from Vmoda. I eventually bought the Sennheiser GSP 302 off Amazon and haven't looked back. Quality across the board was spot on. I still use my Vmoda's for video editing and use away from my PC, but the GSP 302 is my daily driver for gaming and streaming on my PC. One tip I can offer to those considering buying this, if you have an old Xbox 360 headset laying around, use the foam bit on the end of the microphone. I did that and it helped negate some of the popping when I say certain words.
Well. I don't know how you used it because I've got the BoomPro on my M100 as well and I've run into none of the issues you've just named. Mine works perfectly fine on XboxOne and on my PC. Maybe check your setup?
@@shadowarmor5100 I tried both the front audio ports and the rear ports for my motherboard. Both had the same static issue. Mic bleed still occurred on both front and back as well. When i got the new Sennheisers, they had the issue with audio bleed on the front, but not the back. So I can say that the front panel audio has issues. But the mic bleed did not occur on the back using the Sennheisers, which means something is up with microphone as well.
@@shadowarmor5100 I am too! It seemed like the most logical choice coming because i do gaming and content creation. Keep everything simple and minimal. I'm still happy that I have both the M100 and the Sennheiser GSP 302. I definitely don't regret getting either. I'm satisfied with just having both and just switching out depending on my use in the moment.
wtf the CoolerMaster Mic Sounds so great it even beats the ModMic4 by far. OMG thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I did instantly oreder me a pair of MH751. I am so done with my Sennheier + Modmic Combo with the stupid 2 cables and pretty much every Gaming Headset sucks except of the Sennheiser Game One which is however super ugly. FINALLY THANKS COOER MASTER FOR DELIVERING A GOOD GAMING HEADSET WITHOUT THE "7.1 Surrrrrrrrrroung Sound which sounds like a trashcan" AND DIMITRY for showing it to us :3
I have this mic with the Phillips SHP9500S, but the problem I run into is that the mic picks up audio from the headphones. I often end up just draping it over my shoulder so that my voice can still be picked up, but not the other audio.
@@Korijira generally just when something is loud and the sound peaks. Its worst in a game like PUBG where I turn my volume up to hear footsteps, but I have problems in almost every other game too. Ymmv though, since I think I play with my headphones turned up louder than other people.
You can modify the M50 and add a 2.5mm (male) to 3.5 mm (female) adapter and use the boom pro. That's what I did and it's worked out pretty well. However, if you try this, there's a little notch on the inside of the hole on the m50's which is used for locking the proprietary 2.5mm connector into the headphones. I think the safest way of doing this is opening up that side of the headphones and unscrewing and removing the audiojack/circuit board into which the cable connector goes. After this is out of the way (and safe from being broken) you should be able to use a drill or sharp tool to take out the notch inside. Definitely remove the internals before hand though, because I didn't and drilled too far. So, I ended up breaking the internal audio connector/board and I had to solder everything manually. Also, make sure you find an adapter which fits in the m50's, some might be too big around.
If it works properly for you that's great. Unfortunately it did not work with a basic USB soundcard I am using to record my speech. Be aware it does not work with every soundcard out there.
honestly Zeos review on the Vmoda Boom Pro was better because he uses good hifi headphones which honestly destroys any "gaming" headset youll ever own just get a mayflower arc for your dac/amp a nice pair of Headphones and vmoda boom pro mic and you have the best "gaming" headset
Are you new here? because Dimitri uses Sennheiser HD 800 with The Element AMP. And that's definitely not a gaming headphones nor a gaming DAC either. try to watch his video that titled " $349 Headphone AMP vs $249 On-board Sound... Who Wins???" But, I don't think Vmoda Boom Pro could be attached on Sennheiser HD 800 tho. So, it's kinda pointless that you need to buy a hifi headphones again with single 3.5mm connector just to review this cheapo but good product.
Been thinking of getting this for awhile but I just don't use a mic all that much and the inline mic on v-moda cables are fine enough. But wow didn't realize how great this mic sounded! Would be a definite improvemeng
Wow you finally reviewed this one! Was expecting to hear your thoughts on it for so long, I own it myself and wondered how it would fair with all the other included and dettachable mics you've reviewed so far. Seems like I made a good decision :D
What an awesome coincidence. Just bought the Vmoda Crossfade 2 with the Boom pro mic which I thought was very good and now you guys made a review about it
The mics sounds great, but how are they with picking up background noise? My office is shared and is so my Dad's office so there are always other people in our rooms and creates a lot of background noise. I use the Astro A40s I really enjoy them, they are comfortable and are great at not picking up anyone else's voice unless they really yell towards me. I believe he is using one of the skullcandy headsets and my wife uses Hyperx cloud II and they both are terrible when it comes to picking up other voices in the room.
Can you elaborate on the compatibility issue mentioned at 7:24? You're saying that the headset needs to support a 3.5mm 4 pole connection, but the next picture shows the BoomPro has 3 pole jack.
can you start doing noise cancellation tests because in Australia we almost always have a fan on because it's far to hot not to and this becomes a problem when you want to have a good microphone.
My BoomPro died after a little over a year of work-from-home use. When it did work, it was great; but not happy with it only lasting a year (just after warranty expired of course). Will be looking for an alternative.
VModa Boom Pro with Sennheiser HD558 here, Like you stated in your video they will not work because of the different plug size, however you can buy a adapter off amazon for really cheap. Making for an amazing open back headset combo.
I've been using the V-Moda BoomPro Mic with my Philips SHP9500S cans for about a year now. I got the headphones on a killer deal of about $55 USD and the BoomPro for around $30. It's an excellent combination!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the audio input seems to be a male 3 pole jack. The end you plug into the laptop/audio card etc. is 4 pole, and therefore your headphones only need to be able to accept 3 pole in order to be compatible, and not 4 pole as he states?
I bought this for my Philips Fidelio X2 but I had an issue with it: i had my headphones connected to an amp and it made so much noise when I used the mic, probably because of the use of a single cable both for sound input and output. I had to ask for a refund and buy a Modmic 4.0. Really happy with this one.
Is there a boom mic that just attaches to your ear without the headphones? I do all my gaming on my home theater. I want my audio to still come through my room speakers but have a stand alone mic to communicate with other players.
The one problem I have with mics of this type is that over time the electrical connection it plugs into (on the headphone end) loosens and the mic ends up swinging away from your face a lot. Haven't found a solution for this that doesn't involve glue.
Well, that settles it. After watching this review I'm going to buy myself a copy of Homo Deus

How did you connect your headphone/mic to your PS4? Did you have to plug your mic cable into a headphone/mic cable splitter to plug into a USB dongle with respective mic and audio input jacks to plug into the console? I just bought the same headphone and mic and want to be sure my setup will work for both console and PC.
@@toothlesstoe I use my USB sound card that my cloud 2 came with. A USB dongle that splits off into headphone/mic should work.
@@toothlesstoe The BoomPro's cable is 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male but it comes with a splitter for mic and audio for PC use. For PS4 you can just ignore the splitter and plug the 3.5mm directly into your controller and it should work.
C.L.K. So I can just plug them into my headphones that support 3.5mm then into the controller
I didn't go with the BoomPro specifically for the reason that I would have to plug them into my headset. I don't want to be always wearing a mic on my headset, and I also don't want to have an additional cable when I want to swap my mic on/off. I went with the ModMic 5 for that reason. Set the mic on my desk for the moment I need it
I love how the included mic with the CM MH752 al most sounds just as great as the BoomPro. Definitely the best pair I've ever had in a long time.
Do they last long I've read bad reviews about he build quality..
@@LingatsuDesignAndDev Indeed, bought them when they launched, still feels like new. Besides, they come with a 2 years Local Warranty, so even if you have to spend the small amount for new ones each time, it won't break the bank.
@@K41N-7 Sure. Did you compare them to the Hyperxcloud headset? I wonder if the lack of bass is a problem for music listening
@@K41N-7 is there a big difference with the mh751 and 752?
The bass on modmic 5 is a bit tighter than vmoda boom pro, but i think when comes down to productivity, the frequency that modmic 5 produces is easier to edit later on
The V-moda actually sounded pretty much like the ModMic 5, i honestly failed to hear any difference like at all, the ModMic 4 is crap.
something wrong with your hearing the ModMic 5 was certainly better sounding
Ignore Dave's remark. Hearing the difference could come down to whatever audio output you use. If you're listening on earbuds or TV speakers, the difference might not be detectable at all.
ModMic 5.0 was flawless, I couldn't detect any vocal artifacts. The Vmoda had some artifacts that prevented it from sounding totally natural and true, but overall, the vocal quality was detailed and clear. At a mere $30, the Vmoda has incredible value.
For professional use where vocal quality must be as natural as possible, ModMic 5.0 is better. For gaming and general use, the Vmoda is totally sufficient and a much more reasonable option. If you get a pop filter on the Vmoda, all the better.
@@GandalfTheSilver Wtf if you dont notice difference you are just deaf.
@Rastei
Half of my entire comment is explicitly about the difference, you are just bad at reading comprehension... Or you are defensive about something. It is inextricably obvious in my comment that I was comparing their different sound signatures.
If your dishonest interpretation of my comment is due to defensiveness, then I suspect that you blew your money on a ModMic, and now you're trying validate your excessive spending on something that is only minimally improved over reasonably-priced alternatives by trying to argue that the difference is larger than what it actually is.
You guys should review the CM MH751/752!
I hope you can compare the Takstar Pro 82 with the Coolermaster Mh751(when that review comes out). The Takstar has an adjustable bass port and the Coolermaster one doesn't, would love to see how different they sound since theyre the same headphone.
The MH751 sounds nearly the same, they bumped up the bass slightly, it's still less bass then the first tick in the pro 82 bass port though. The treble is also ever so slightly tamed. Mid range is the same.
@@LifeLongCaboose thanks you, it is a shame they took the slider away as I love the second port for everything; and the 3rd one for certain EDM songs. Treble I found is harsh on the first revision, the second one uses a different driver design and it's a bit less harsh
@@VEN0M415 they took off the bass ports for patent reasons as it may have caused them issues.
The MH751 is for sure the second driver. I much prefer the first one. But I also never use the bass vents as the increase in bass I find hurts the quality.
also the youtuber Z Reviews, reviewed the Cooler Master MH752 recently (I know this comment you posted is from a month ago, just in case you haven't seen of the video) and compared it to the Takstar Pro 82, and in his Cloud Alpha review, hinted at it, saying it was better than the Cloud Alpha in his opinion. I'm not spoiling the comparison between the Takstar Pro 82 and Cooler Master MH752 though.
Venom415 also the 751s have more slightly more soundstage than the Takstars
Why is the G PRO Test different from the previous one?
the second video the audio is different for worse, what would be the reason?
it appears after the logitech Artemis G933 in the previous video.
I'm studying a new headset with the best microphone cost benefit.
would it be worth to buy this if I already have a HyperX Alpha headset?
Definitely yes
The quality of the mic is ass
@@vorlinn which one? The HyperX's?
Zidrick no the Logitech g pro gaming headset without the extra mic he’s using
@@vorlinn oh okay
boii that v-moda sounds so comfortable in comparison to the included mics. i sure have to admit i still love having external mics and proper headphones.
5:00 Wait a second-...
5:06
5:48
These are all just really good, most others aren't great.
6:00 (same as 5:06)
If you have a MH751 (or MH752) you don’t even need a new mic because the one included is soo good.
I had my second boompro crap out on me, just bought and received my third one, but also decided to get another gaming headset as well because my Vmoda cross-fades are 10 years old and the ear pads and top leather is falling apart. I got the Sennheiser-massdrop pc37X, I love the open sound, and surprisingly, my friends on Xbox chat say the Sennheiser microphone sounds better!
DON'T BUY IT IF YOU NEED THE MUTE FUNCTION. EXCELLENT microphone with the biggest problem for me. when you mute the mic there is sound leak BACK to the mic from whatever is playing to the headphones. tested 2 v-moda. the second was replacement for the issue i mention above
Yep confused me a whole lot when I got it.
@@rafitavilalta Me too i thought it was my gear (mixamp pro tr+fidelio x1) that was the problem. after hours of testing i finally google the issue and i was't the only one
Is it a problem when you mute yourself, for example, on Discord or only when you use the mute button on the microphone's cable?
It is a problem only when you use the mute button on the microphone's cable.
I got it for YEARS along with their headsets, they're insanely good
Are you using an independent sound card or USB adapter? I just received the Boom Pro this weekend and the mic is picking up background interference when I speak, no where near the quality of sound displayed in this video. I have it plugged directly into my mobo so I think it might be a ground loop issue.
With a little bit of eq to get rid of the high end 'S' , sounds great.
Top tier headset reviewer not making a separate video for MH752 cooler master????????
What if you connect the v-Moda mic to a inear headset like the steelseries tusq ? Would it be a inear Headset with a good mic ?
Does it work on hyperx alpha
Hey, I don't have the answer but I recently got the alpha and I was not impressed. They sound like any other headphones. Did face the same problem? Is there a solution?
@@ammarkhan6883 of shit i ordered them right now i hope
I would like them
@@adriandautoski1606 oh.. they definitely sound clear but you can only enjoy them while gaming. For music they are not really boomy or fun headphones like skull candy crushers (I don't own these) but the audio is definitely crystal clear. I also did get ear fatigue
@@ammarkhan6883 oh great i do want
@@ammarkhan6883 i need headset only for gaming so great
I bought the mic a few months ago and used it with my Vmoda M-100s that I've had for 6 months to a year . The mic is alright if you're on a budget. I ran into issues with it. I had similar issues with audio going to my headphones bleeding into the microphone. I had issues with static from the cord causing noise to be made and transmitted into the microphone. I just thought the execution of this microphone was meh. Sort of an afterthought from Vmoda. I eventually bought the Sennheiser GSP 302 off Amazon and haven't looked back. Quality across the board was spot on. I still use my Vmoda's for video editing and use away from my PC, but the GSP 302 is my daily driver for gaming and streaming on my PC.
One tip I can offer to those considering buying this, if you have an old Xbox 360 headset laying around, use the foam bit on the end of the microphone. I did that and it helped negate some of the popping when I say certain words.
Well. I don't know how you used it because I've got the BoomPro on my M100 as well and I've run into none of the issues you've just named.
Mine works perfectly fine on XboxOne and on my PC.
Maybe check your setup?
@@shadowarmor5100 I tried both the front audio ports and the rear ports for my motherboard. Both had the same static issue. Mic bleed still occurred on both front and back as well. When i got the new Sennheisers, they had the issue with audio bleed on the front, but not the back. So I can say that the front panel audio has issues. But the mic bleed did not occur on the back using the Sennheisers, which means something is up with microphone as well.
@@Yeah_Buddy_LIGHTWEIGHT hmm. That is a real pity. Sorry that you didn't have any luck with that mic :/
@@shadowarmor5100 I am too! It seemed like the most logical choice coming because i do gaming and content creation. Keep everything simple and minimal. I'm still happy that I have both the M100 and the Sennheiser GSP 302. I definitely don't regret getting either. I'm satisfied with just having both and just switching out depending on my use in the moment.
wtf the CoolerMaster Mic Sounds so great it even beats the ModMic4 by far.
OMG thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I did instantly oreder me a pair of MH751. I am so done with my Sennheier + Modmic Combo with the stupid 2 cables and pretty much every Gaming Headset sucks except of the Sennheiser Game One which is however super ugly.
FINALLY THANKS COOER MASTER FOR DELIVERING A GOOD GAMING HEADSET WITHOUT THE "7.1 Surrrrrrrrrroung Sound which sounds like a trashcan" AND DIMITRY for showing it to us :3
juhu
Holy moly!! About time you notice this mic! Took you long enough!
NH752 sounds good out of the box, actually.
I have this mic with the Phillips SHP9500S, but the problem I run into is that the mic picks up audio from the headphones. I often end up just draping it over my shoulder so that my voice can still be picked up, but not the other audio.
Is that only when something is loud, or does it happen at basically any volume level?
@@Korijira generally just when something is loud and the sound peaks. Its worst in a game like PUBG where I turn my volume up to hear footsteps, but I have problems in almost every other game too. Ymmv though, since I think I play with my headphones turned up louder than other people.
Damn. Hopefully I don't have similar issues, I'm planning on picking up this guy to improve my audio.
Yeah this microphone won't work with a pair of headphones... Like Audio-Technica ATH-M50. Too bad. But that's cool
if you have the m50x bt version it does they have replaced the 2,5 with a 3,5 mm jack :P
@@floeche9737 Ok cool. I don't have those.
You can modify the M50 and add a 2.5mm (male) to 3.5 mm (female) adapter and use the boom pro. That's what I did and it's worked out pretty well. However, if you try this, there's a little notch on the inside of the hole on the m50's which is used for locking the proprietary 2.5mm connector into the headphones. I think the safest way of doing this is opening up that side of the headphones and unscrewing and removing the audiojack/circuit board into which the cable connector goes. After this is out of the way (and safe from being broken) you should be able to use a drill or sharp tool to take out the notch inside. Definitely remove the internals before hand though, because I didn't and drilled too far. So, I ended up breaking the internal audio connector/board and I had to solder everything manually. Also, make sure you find an adapter which fits in the m50's, some might be too big around.
There are 2.5 mm alternatives that fit your headphones. Search on Amazon for Neomusica mic ( I think that's what it's called)
@@joof8342 so you basically destroyed your Audio Technicas and their sound quality with your little experiment...
If it works properly for you that's great. Unfortunately it did not work with a basic USB soundcard I am using to record my speech. Be aware it does not work with every soundcard out there.
honestly Zeos review on the Vmoda Boom Pro was better because he uses good hifi headphones which honestly destroys any "gaming" headset youll ever own just get a mayflower arc for your dac/amp a nice pair of Headphones and vmoda boom pro mic and you have the best "gaming" headset
Are you new here? because Dimitri uses Sennheiser HD 800 with The Element AMP. And that's definitely not a gaming headphones nor a gaming DAC either.
try to watch his video that titled "
$349 Headphone AMP vs $249 On-board Sound... Who Wins???"
But, I don't think Vmoda Boom Pro could be attached on Sennheiser HD 800 tho. So, it's kinda pointless that you need to buy a hifi headphones again with single 3.5mm connector just to review this cheapo but good product.
This guy is a douche lol
But with the mod mic in this video he was using HD 58x's from Massdrop. Those are pretty well reviewed.
Flubs but a funny douche😭😭
Been thinking of getting this for awhile but I just don't use a mic all that much and the inline mic on v-moda cables are fine enough. But wow didn't realize how great this mic sounded! Would be a definite improvemeng
Wow... Only took you guys like 3 years. 😒
Lol true. I guess he was waiting for it to get a review unit. Cheap ass.
Wow you finally reviewed this one! Was expecting to hear your thoughts on it for so long, I own it myself and wondered how it would fair with all the other included and dettachable mics you've reviewed so far.
Seems like I made a good decision :D
yikes, amazon shopping is shit in norway. 56 dollars in total for 30 dollar product. Nice...
Is the V-MODA BoomPro still available? They have been out of stock for a few months now...
What an awesome coincidence. Just bought the Vmoda Crossfade 2 with the Boom pro mic which I thought was very good and now you guys made a review about it
been using this mic for years with my Philips Fidelio X2s....love the setup
The mics sounds great, but how are they with picking up background noise? My office is shared and is so my Dad's office so there are always other people in our rooms and creates a lot of background noise. I use the Astro A40s I really enjoy them, they are comfortable and are great at not picking up anyone else's voice unless they really yell towards me. I believe he is using one of the skullcandy headsets and my wife uses Hyperx cloud II and they both are terrible when it comes to picking up other voices in the room.
Can you elaborate on the compatibility issue mentioned at 7:24? You're saying that the headset needs to support a 3.5mm 4 pole connection, but the next picture shows the BoomPro has 3 pole jack.
I guess he made a mistake there. The other side of the cable does have a 4 pole connection to make the mic work on your devices.
ModMic 5 - MH752 default - Vmod boom pro (good to bad). I would get ModMic 5 to attach or buy MH752 headset instead of getting anything else.
can you start doing noise cancellation tests because in Australia we almost always have a fan on because it's far to hot not to and this becomes a problem when you want to have a good microphone.
My BoomPro died after a little over a year of work-from-home use. When it did work, it was great; but not happy with it only lasting a year (just after warranty expired of course). Will be looking for an alternative.
wow MH751 mic are really clear sound using wired mode, but how about using dongle with the v moda?
Do you use any audio interface or post production tools in those examples?
VModa Boom Pro with Sennheiser HD558 here, Like you stated in your video they will not work because of the different plug size, however you can buy a adapter off amazon for really cheap. Making for an amazing open back headset combo.
I've been using the V-Moda BoomPro Mic with my Philips SHP9500S cans for about a year now. I got the headphones on a killer deal of about $55 USD and the BoomPro for around $30. It's an excellent combination!!
I’ve been using this mic for the past 2-3 years , it’s been a great daily driver . Highly recommend it. 😍
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the audio input seems to be a male 3 pole jack. The end you plug into the laptop/audio card etc. is 4 pole, and therefore your headphones only need to be able to accept 3 pole in order to be compatible, and not 4 pole as he states?
Amazing... The sound quality produced by this microphone is fantastic. Thanks I didn't know this kind of product.
I bought this for my Philips Fidelio X2 but I had an issue with it: i had my headphones connected to an amp and it made so much noise when I used the mic, probably because of the use of a single cable both for sound input and output.
I had to ask for a refund and buy a Modmic 4.0. Really happy with this one.
So pretty much.. the MS752 sound didn’t change and is therefor the best mic ever attached to a headset
CM mic sounded same as Vmoda !
Will it work with a Cloud Mix?
It works on wireless headsets without pluging it in the pc?
Is there a boom mic that just attaches to your ear without the headphones? I do all my gaming on my home theater. I want my audio to still come through my room speakers but have a stand alone mic to communicate with other players.
The one problem I have with mics of this type is that over time the electrical connection it plugs into (on the headphone end) loosens and the mic ends up swinging away from your face a lot. Haven't found a solution for this that doesn't involve glue.
I found an interesting headset.... The teufel cage.....there are no english reviews of it..... Maybe take a look at it?
what about adding a mechanical keyboard noise cancellacion in mics tests for headsets and individual ones
Adding a 2cent piece of foam will improve the audio quality more than changing from this to the modmic5. Or the cm.
