Antlion Audio - ModMic Uni 2+

I run HD6XX's with an external mic (a modmic turns them into a great headset). I almost exclusively use them for gaming at this point, but they're phenomenal headphones as well. The HD58X's are excellent as well and easier to drive. Both headphones are around $200 on Drop, give or take sales they have going on. I'm sure they'll have something going on for black friday.

the 560s is good, just slap a antlion modmic on there and ur good to go

Antlion modmic is your frien.

I use a modmic from 2020. Its not bad with basic obs filters but my music industry professional family member is highly recommending a shure sm7 which is way beyond budget but thats coming ASAP

Modmic from antlion is the goto option, but is it really worth it to drop money on a mic that costs almost as much as your headset? [This cheaper alternative might be better suited for your needs as it doesn't require as big of an investment](https://youtu.be/K9npz2hxPYM)

Understood, it's just that headset mics are going to probably get you into the 30-40 range, not 75, even spending a few hundred bucks. That Audio-Technica I'd mentioned is one of the best, but Sennheiser has a few that sound pretty decent. You could also go for something like an Antlion Modmic actually, and stick it on your existing headset. I'd recommend against the wireless version (sounds worse than the wired, uses mini-USB for charging, some other issues).

Antlion Mod Mic is good. Uses a USB-A Dongle to connect. I use mine on PS5 but it is PC compatible.

Have one on my 660s2's. Love it.

I have an Antlion Modmic for mine that's pretty awesome. The battery lasts a long time, and the sound quality is solid

Antlion modmic is brilliant. I bought it in 2021 and have been using it ever since.The great thing about this mic is that you can position the boom right in front of your mouth, allowing it to pick up even whisper-quiet sounds. This is impossible with the Quest's open mic. (The noise cancellation mutes whispers, so when I'm doing ASMR at a decent volume, my family ends up knocking on the door!) It's lamentable that this microphone is still the latest model. I've been waiting for an upgrade for ages!
