ModMic USB review — The best-sounding ModMic yet

The ModMic is the ideal microphone for the PC gaming crowd. Why buy a gaming headset when you can build your own and make it better? That’s the pitch for the detachable boom microphone that you can connect to any pair of headphones. Now, ModMic manufacturer Antlion has a new revision that drops the 3.5mm plug in favor of a USB connection. And the result is the best-sounding ModMic yet.

The ModMic USB is available now for $80, and it comes with everything you need to add a microphone to your favorite pair (or multiple pairs) of headphones. Then, once you have it set up, your communications are going to sound better than just about any gaming headset you can buy. And because the ModMic USB delivers in those two key areas, it’s easy to recommend.
