son Heiser game one microphone reporting for duty hey brother just b300 microphone here rattle down youtube mod my 4.0 here I'm clearly disappear your microphone with better flexibility what happened maybe maybe he's using one of us okay I'm back now with a little upgrade the mod mic 5.0 is here find out why I'm sticking with this as my gaming setup right after this cool master master keys keyboards lineup is now available and three sizes to fit within your space with large medium and small boards with either beautiful RGB or pure white LED illumination a little something for everyone make it yours with the master keys Pro by Cooler Master so what's up guys I'm Dimitri the Harlequin accent the mod likes 5.0 is going to be replacing the 4.0 for me now and I think I've completed the ultimate gaming audio is set up with the HD 800 s and the mod Mike's 5.0 now so I'm getting fantastic microphone quality and learn the best audio quality of the market too but first to recap and mod mike is a high quality low profile microphone solution that you can attach to your favorite pair of headphones and this solution has been very popular among users who don't like the gaming headset direction where let's say the microphone is non-removable or the aesthetics simply restrict the use of this pair outside of the house and so the mod likes v sells for $69 which for a standalone mic to attach to your headphones may seem steep where you can pick up a full head set like the HyperX cloud around that same price range and maybe a quality full package for a little bit more like the GSP 300 headset with a very good microphone now in comparison to a $50 mod like 4.0 the price premium is actually pretty fair because you get two built-in mic capsules on the 5 unlike where you have to choose between omnidirectional or unidirectional mod mic score for now so you get this easy switch toggle on the on the microphone capsule itself the wires have been Kevlar reinforced so they're stronger and more premium the boom pole is now much stiffer and doesn't Bend as easily so you can just bend it once and it will not move from that position ever unless you change it again but the magnetic clasp is now what it is backwards compatible but it's now with a much stronger magnet and that means that if you accidently pull not cable the microphone will not pop out or rotate something that happened a lot more often on the weaker magnet on a 4.0 but I have been really on offense from switching from my trusty Game one headset from Sennheiser I love this implementation with single one cable that runs from the headset in to behind my computer so that I don't have to worry about cable management whereas with this implementation you know it's not comfortable because I have to route the HD 800 into the amp and then when I was using the mod like 4.0 that was routed obviously via separate cable into the microphone jack on my motherboard so the cable management situations wasn't ideal which is why I kind of you know say about 60% of time prefer something of a gaming headset nature because I don't have to deal with cable management and this is where the FIFO no really comes into the equation and they've improved on many aspects pretty much with every aspect of the microphone body and the mod in the microphone name actually makes sense now because you have everything that's modular about the microphone including the inline mute controls the cable that you can remove for a longer cable and so they've removed the common point of failure from the 4.0 which was the cable itself and they've reinforced everything about the 5.0 so that this is the strongest microphone they've ever produced and so the QL management implementation here is pretty awesome with 10 cuts included so you can combine the little clip with a slightly thicker clip on the headphone plus we have a 2 meter braided cable wrap so you can seamlessly combine the headphone and the microphone cable into one and just keep in mind it does add a little bit of extra weight but the benefit of no dangling wires is a major one for this cleaner setup in the package we also get a prep pad to clean the surface of the headphone plus two magnetic base class which i've applied to both my headphones and can interchangeably use the microphone on either of them and everything fits into this a nice small carry pouch what you've been hearing so far now has been recorded with the 5.0 is going into the zoom h5 so this is the best representation of the quality that you will hear and while we're here I will also switch to unidirectional Mike from capsule because the extra price premium that you get with this so not only do you get improved everything about the cabling situation but you also get two microphone capsules so you can have using unidirectional which is like a noise cancelling capsule or an omnidirectional which captures everything around you it's a slightly better quality alright so now we're a unidirectional mode which means that it's not picking up anything or not as much from this side of the microphone because the capsules there's two capsules facing this way omnidirectional captures everything here where you need direction avoids this area of the microphone that captures everything that's just in front of your mouth it is a bit quieter so that's something to keep in mind because you might potentially have to boost it in your computer motherboard so that the microphone isn't super quiet all right we're back the omnidirectional so you can hear the audio levels are much louder but it's also a bit cleaner out same not as nasally because the omnidirectional thing there's a bit of noise cancellation happening and I like the omnidirectional better but keep in mind it will be picking up a lot of background noise so now I'd like for you to listen to the comparison between the modern i-5 and other headsets microphones that I have in the studio I think the more like five is by far the cleanest most natural sounding would nice pick up on the lower end as well so right now I'm a unidirectional mode it's not picking up as much of the background noise but it's not as clear anymore the base is kind of diminished and this is the exact same sound as on the mod mic four and this is right now the mod like 4.0 with the unidirectional capsule applied it sounds identical to the unidirectional capsule on the mountain like five because they all use the exactly the same microphone capsules everything just on the mic on the mod like five is just upgraded physically so what you listening to now is the Game one headset the microphone here is very sensitive so I have to actually keep my voice sort of leveled and not really speak up because it will peak and what I'm trying to do with this microphone test is because I'm recording everything into the zoom h5 I am NOT adjusting the gain sensitivity on the microphone so it's all levels equal so you can hear on the differences between house and set of each microphone is and by far the least sensitive microphone here in this collection would be the GSP 300 but this one has a lot more bass that's very Bumi I love this microphone the game one had said it's a $250 microphone but it sounds very comparable to the $70 or the omnidirectional capsule with just amount of detail and clarity and the the lower-end pick up on the voice is very good on this pair and this is the last microphone in this sample and collection this is a GSP 300 it's a $100 headset so there's a bit of a nice balance between microphone quality and audio quality but still it does not sound it doesn't even approach the levels of the omnidirectional microphone clarity and pick up of the mod mic 5 or the mode mic 4.0 and so yeah you do pre a premium to have the option to attach a low profile microphone on to your favorite pair of headphones and that is exactly where the mode mic comes into play oh hey there NC XCOM is Canada's leading etrailer for anything your mind desires just keep within those categories which are plenty and be attempted by the weekly deals visit ncx dot-com for all them sweet deals so thank you so much for hearing and watching this video let me know what you think of the microphone quality much since majority of this video has been recorded with a 5.0 I will still be keeping me 4.0 on this headphone because I still need a microphone for this particular environment and setting while the HD 800 will be my premium most most premium gaming setup ever Jesus HD 800 for gaming most people also going to be probably wondering why I placed a magnet on my HD 800 so close to the drivers I hope that's not an issue actually if we do have any audio engineers let me know this is a bad idea placing you know magnetized piece when you clasp for the microphone because I just don't want to ruin anything on this pair so thanks for watching I'm appreciated however canucks we'll see you in the next video
