Know before you buy
Yes, the ModMic USB 2 uses a patented magnetic mounting system that adheres to virtually any flat or slightly curved surface on your headphones or VR headset. It is designed to be universal, so you can turn almost any pair of headphones into a professional-grade headset.
The uni-directional cardioid capsule is specifically tuned to focus on sound coming directly in front of the microphone while rejecting ambient noise from the sides and rear. This makes it highly effective at isolating your voice, even if you are in a room with fans, keyboard clicks, or other background distractions.
The ModMic USB 2 connects via USB-C, making it compatible with devices that support standard USB audio input, including PCs, laptops, and many modern gaming consoles. Please ensure your specific device supports external USB microphones before purchasing.
Absolutely. The magnetic mounting system allows you to snap the microphone on or off in seconds. This is particularly useful if you want to use your headphones for casual listening without the microphone attached.
No, the ModMic USB 2 is a plug-and-play device. It is designed to be recognized automatically by your operating system as a standard USB audio input device, so you can start using it immediately without complex setup.
