Before choosing this model
- Antlion says it doesn't work with Xbox.
- Antlion lists every Mac except the 2018 and 2019 MacBook Pro.
- It uses its own USB receiver, not Bluetooth; a phone needs a USB-C adapter for the receiver (sold separately), per Antlion.
- Antlion rates the battery at 12+ hours, and the mic keeps working while it charges over micro-USB.
- The 34 ms latency is Antlion's figure for the mic link, not the delay of a whole chat call.
- Antlion lists no way to hear yourself through it; check your voice with your chat app's mic test.
- 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.
