Hey there, just wanted to say: "Keep doing what you are doing" it shows how much you value your audience and how much a breath of fresh air your approach is compared to the rest of the "influencers". Thanks, I enjoy and value your content and time.
I love your reviews, It's thorough and to the point. I've been shopping for a new pair of gaming headphones and I settled for the EPOS H6Pro (open version) with WC Freeze earpads. And your reviews have helped with that.
A great review and comparison. A solution to my disliked VZR Model One cable! Thank you for this very relevant information. I shall have to look into AUNE and this mic.
Another great video and review. Good timing as well, as I waited on getting the Antlion Mod Mic for my Meze 99 Classics. Definitely getting this boom mic now. Thanks Gadgetry Tech and keep the videos coming!
This sounds great. I have purchased way too many things from your reviews. Is a new Meze system on the way? Maybe haha. Are there any specific headphones (~$300-$600) from Meze or other brands you would recommend this with? I love being able to listen to music and take work calls during the day and then game with one setup.
Just recently bought the DT 770 Pro X LE and a Modmic 2 to run on a SBX G6 but haven't been bone to try it yet, will probably look into buying the VZR One with this too eventually. Really loving your content, keep it up!
its a very beautiful cable, honestly i just took my corsair virtuoso pro's headphone cable and use it on my hifiman headphone for gaming. if i didn't have the corsair virtuoso pro, i would 100% purchase this cable.
More options is always nice but this can't beat the convenience of the modmic wireless (if you absolutely insist on turning your cans into a headset instead of using full sized mic)
Maybe I'm missing something but it's bizarre to me that they didn't just add a DAC and make them usb, who on earth is using front panel headers with headphones that cost more than £100, especially the Meze 109. Their headphones are very efficient so they're ideal for it.
Great review! I've been looking for this for the last few years and couldn't find it anywhere. Finally someone did it properly and it seems to me that Logitech, Steelseries or Razer are scre**d in the audio segment.
In regards to the shared ground, this does become an issue if you want to use different devices for your mic input and headphone output as this setup on a shared ground produces a lot of noise. It's why imo the modmic is so useful (along with headsets like the beyerdynamic MMX 300) as you can run any high-end headphone dac/amp alongside another lower end device just for the mic.
That settles it. I was looking for a headset for so long since I need a mic since my headphones didn't have one. Now I can simply buy this and use it alongiside my Ananda Nano. This is perfect.
The only thing I don't like is the position of the in-line mute/volume. I play guitar and that's literally right where my guitar would sit. All that aside, it hurts me every time I watch one of your videos and still see you sub 100k. Subscribe to this man you noobs!
What a great review, thank you so much for this! I’m going to use your link to purchase, want to support you. I’ve been using a blue yeti and am tired of it. Here is my question…I currently have the R70X but am looking for something new. I saw you mention the AR5000 which I am very interested in but also the new meze headphone. What do you think, should I hold off or go right for the AR5000?
Great video as always, looking forward to the review for the Antlion ModMic Uni 2, and especially its performance on Xbox. I tried the original ModMic Uni on Xbox Series X last year plugged into my controller and it constantly had a buzz/humming sound under my voice, I tested it for a full month straight and tried so many different methods that the Antlion support team recommended for me, even tried multiple different controllers both wired and wireless, game-chat party-chat and Skype-chat, and different Y-splitters but the issue persisted. It was disappointing because I love the concept of the ModMic and want so bad to use my HD560s on Xbox with a good mic attached. Hopefully the ModMic Uni 2 fixes the issue.
Thx for all the videos Joe. I learnd so much. You testet so many different manufacturers but i am missing a little bit products from KZ. Are you not a fan of the brand? I'm currently considering of buying the kz zs12pro and i would like to have your opinion about this IEM. Thx so much. Greetings from Germany
Whats the name for the type of headphones that have a 3.5mm input on the left and right earcups? The hd600’s I have don’t have an input like the headphones you showcased. Huge fan of your videos!
This is a great product! I have a pair of Hifiman HE1000 Stealths and it sounds like this will work great with those. I do use them with balanced 4.4mm cables though. I'm assuming this won't work for a setup with balanced outputs on an Amp/DAC like the iFi Zen Dac V2?
Awesome thanks for the review, really interested! Small question does it pick up sound from openbacks like the hifiman edition xs? Or the software like discord will just filter it out?
Alternatively there is the Strauss and Wagner dual 3.5mm boom mic as a cheaper option. It’s one quirk is the mic is on the right side plug in for some reason. I didn’t know this and it sounded wrong. I’m not an audio expert and I don’t stream but the mic sounded fine. Not a huge fan of the 8ft cable here. That’s super long. Also don’t love volume wheels as this will just go straight into my Burson. Also recommend the geekria cable for vzr model one. Changes the one thing I didn’t like about the vzr. Goodbye twisty cable.
I'll do my best to make a video on this as soon as I can. I have videos scheduled every 2-3 days or so for the next couple months! It will come sooner than later for sure
This is such a big dick move! I've been using the Corsair Virtuoso Pro dual boom mic cable with my HE1000 and it's definitely not the best quality. The only shame is that inline switch
It looks like it should work for my Sundaras, but can I plug the trrs cable into my SMSL C200 dac/amp? I don't think it has a dedicated mic input, at least I'm not seeing one. I have a wireless modmic, but it's kind of annoying to keep track of the battery. Another question, I don't think Win 11 has the gain control anymore, do you have a pc you can test this on by any chance? Curious if it'll be too quiet (like the microphone on my Crin Dusks).
Can't wait to grab one of these. Current daily for gaming is the 109 Pro and a Beacn Mic, but this will be so much simpler. I'm really wanting to swap to closed back, but I need to get a good sidetone solution first.
@GadgetryTech can you create a UA-cam short comparison of this mic vs corsair virturoso pro openback. Might be an a great upgrade, little to no microphonics and the mic sounds better. Or just a nice replacement if the mic goes bad on the corsair.
Been looking for over 2 years now for a boom mic with mini XLR for my beyer dt1770 pro, without luck .. Will probably pick this up once my verum 2 arrives late this year
I used to use the vmoda boom mic with my K7xx with an adapter. I used it so much that it has almost completely deteriorated. Been using IEMs lately but I picked up an Ananda for a stupid price so this mic would be perfect for it. I originally wanted to see if corsair would sell the mic cable from the virtuoso separately but the listing never showed up. Missed opportunity on corsair.
you would have to be blasting for even the worst mic to pick up noise from your headphones, breathing depends how sensitive you set it/noise supression usually
Hi Joe, great video again. Just as a heads up, currently, the corsair virtuoso pro is on sale for £99 on Amazon which comes included with their boom mic cable that you mentioned in the past when reviewing the Fiio JT1. This could be a good option for some as this Meze boom mic option with shipping costs £95. Hope this helps anyone considering buying one of these. Thank you for your effort and time you put into these videos.
I got the virtuoso pro the other day when they dropped to £99 and they are great. The mic fits the JT1 just as Joe said and gives an extra dimension to that headset but still prefer the virtuoso. Only problem with the virtuoso mic is that it doesn't fit the VZR M1
@paulwhite985 The Virtuoso pros do look tempting at that price. I tried the H6pro open back, but the volume wasn't loud enough for xbox unfortunately. Currently using the Acezone A-spire after watching Joe's video on FPS headsets and they are amazing. A good set of open backs for other types of games would be nice would you recommend them ?
The virtuoso pro is a bargain at £99. The plugs to the headset are shaped so I am going to get extenders to use on other headsets and at slightly more than the meze boom mic it's like you are getting the headset for free. I have the h6pro closed and they get plenty loud on xbox but agree the open didn't so they were returned
@paulwhite985 They connect to your phone via Bluetooth app and then I connect them to the xbox controller using the 3.5mm port, I also have the audio adaptor that plugs into the controller to give you game/chat mix and volume control which works quite well. If you play a lot of FPS, I don't think you can beat the Acezone A-spire for £99. I got them for £150 and they are well worth at that price. The EQ preset on Apex Legends is so clear for footsteps. Comfort wise they are similar to the Bose QC35II so very comfortable however they have a slightly stronger clamp force which gives you the sound isolation and your ears will get warm after a couple of hours like most closed backs do anyway. I would recommend them if you mainly play FPS and want clarity over fun for sound.
@gadgetry does this work with corsair virtuso pro just wondering because of that cutout on mic side could you check for me by chance? Cheers in advance
Sigh… I just hopped over to Drop to grab their 99 Noir versions after fighting the urge for literal years lol If my wife starts mean mugging me for grabbing another pair of cans it’s on you man 😆
is it possible to eq fine tune my iems with a mac for ps5 on warzone? like performing the tuning on a mac compatible eq software then have those custom adjustments carry over when plug the iems into controller, enhancing footsteps and dimming airstirkes. if so could you make a video pls? (in new to this world)
sorry to say but no, wired iems dont typically have any built in software and output what they're built to and any adjustments have to be made from the source. I'd recommend looking into the best in game sound profile if you haven't already, which I think he had a video on
This is a game changer for me, Joe, thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. I think I can get some extra life from some of my headphones being able to use in meetings and games.
@@GadgetryTech Got it Friday, it mic is incredibly good, but as you mentioned, had to do some tuning to reduce background noise capture. As a side effect I was not expecting my headphone to be the topic of conversation on Zoom calls! Joe, I think this can spam some very good future topics for you. For example, best headsets for the money, considering both Meze Boom Mic and V-Moda Boom Mic as accessories. And also, good dac\amp solutions with mic support.
Is there any audio bleed in from open backs? My issue with my Mod Mic wireless, on my R70x or HarmonicDyne Zeus Elite, is that the audio from the open back bled into the mic so I ended up being that annoying person in a lobby.
@@max10hoop I know open backs will always have bleed. My question is how bad, if any, will the mic pic up that bleed because I currently can't use my Mod Mic since it picks up all my open back's noise bleed.
What kind of games do you play and how loud do you typically have it? I'll record a clip for you and send you a link here to help show what happens. I use a minor noise gate/audio filter when I game, and people can't hear the game at all when I play at comfortable (still competitive) noise levels. Let me know and I'll send a clip for you
@@GadgetryTech I play on PS5 and use a Schiit Hel2. I have that turned to about 50-55% and usually turn my PS5 thingy mostly all the way down as it'll get weird if I go too high on the console side of it. And typically CoD, Battlefield, Destiny 2 and Helldivers so the obvious things creep into the mic, like high treble stuff (gunshots, beginning of loud explosions, whenever in-game audio has the walkie talkie filter and the such.) I'll usually see my lil in-game speaker showing up like I'm talking whenever these noises hit
@@GadgetryTechHi, it would be helpful to know if conference meeting like Teams or Zoom call audio will bleed and pickup by the microphone, let say at 60 output volume on MacBook with Hifiman Ananda or similar open back model ? Hope you may help to verify on this
I love the Meze 99 Classics/Neo/Noir for EDM and hip hop but they are horrible for gaming. Very narrow sound stage, worse than Sennheiser 6XX series. Too much sub and mid bass emphasis.
Your community is so supportive and wholesome. 🎉

I'm surprised something like this took so long. I've seen some similar stuff but usually the mic quality isn't this good.
Will this work on Audeze Maxwell?
So far right now my favorite headphones are Atlas Air from Turtle Beach
I had those but I couldn’t choose them over my audeze Maxwell
So glad to hear it! It keeps improving with software updates too. Once the EQ/bass quirk is sorted out, and will be even better.

Ordered from Amazon with same day delivery!
I hope they can make a mini xlr wire mic. Not sure if that is possible but would be so sick for us who own Audeze or empyrean
For what it's worth, Audeze already has that covered albeit at a somewhat higher price point.
Great candid review.
