Add a mic to the headphones you already own
3 models, each with the systems its maker documents, its controls and its full setup page. Pick one by where you play →
Which one for your setup
- On Xbox, only the ModMic Uni 2+ works, plugged into the controller through a Y adapter (sold separately); Antlion says the ModMic USB 2 and ModMic Wireless don't.
- No cable from your head to the PC or PS5: the ModMic Wireless, with its own USB receiver rather than Bluetooth.
- One USB plug for a PC, Mac, PS5 or Switch: the ModMic USB 2, with a USB-C adapter in the box.
- Each one carries only your voice: your headphones keep their own plug. On a PS5, pick the mic as the input device in the PS5 microphone settings.

“Needs an adapter” means Antlion lists that system with an adapter it sells separately; “Maker doesn't say” means Antlion's page doesn't mention it either way. Rather have one thing to plug in? Compare gaming headsets, or a desk mic you plug your headphones into.
