Choose it if…

  • You like the headphones you have and want to add a mic to them.
  • You are happy to check your voice with your chat app’s mic test instead of hearing yourself continuously in headphones.
  • You want the mic close to your mouth, with no stand or arm on the desk.

Before choosing this model

  • Antlion says it doesn't work with Xbox.
  • Antlion lists no way to hear yourself through it; check your voice with your chat app's mic test.
  • Antlion lists the Switch; it doesn't say whether that includes the Switch 2.
  • This is the USB 2, with one capsule; the first ModMic USB had two capsules and a mode switch, so its specs don't apply.
  • It carries only your voice: your headphones keep their own plug, so check both reach the PC or console you play on.
  • No stand or arm needed: it sticks to your headphones with Antlion Audio's adhesive base and magnetic clasp.
  • Also needed: your own headphones to attach it to.

Set it up for game chat.

  1. Connect the parts shown in the diagram. If you use XLR, connect the microphone to the interface before selecting it in your app.

  2. Choose the intended input in the operating system. Run the Discord input check or use your console’s microphone test.
