welcome back to tech s City and today I'm gonna be talking to you guys about a product called the v-moda boom mic Pro now what is this you're looking at this thing and you're seeing well this what is this little thing you've got here well this is a microphone and it's also a speaker cable so what this does is you can plug this in to your audiophile headphones like this and it will essentially make your audiophile headphones a gaming headset so the benefits of this I guess I don't really need to explain it but the benefits of this is that you can use your audiophile headphones as a gaming headset and as we all know audiophile headphones sound a lot better than gaming headsets if you don't know this already then trust me go out and try a pair of audiophile headphones and then come back to me and tell me I'm wrong because you won't trust me so today I'm going to be reviewing this product I'm also going to be doing this review whilst talking on this microphone to let you guys do a little comparison of how it might be good if it's good for streaming or you know how good is it compared to a condenser microphone so first off I'm doing I'm talking to you guys on the audio technica at2020 - boom mic Pro and talk a little bit about this product anyway let's switch over okay so now I've switched over to the V mode of boom mic Pro and any noise you hear from here on will essentially be my the amp on my ADCs fault not the microphone itself so let me know how you think the actual microphone itself sounds do you think it sounds good this is my first time doing this and I haven't heard it yet so this is going to be a first time for me as well anyway let's get on with the review first of all you buy it you can buy this microphone from Amazon for $30 and if you're in America you can get free shipping they will ship it internationally which they did for me for really reasonably cheap I got this with the sound card shipped internationally for about $15 shipping so amazon are really really good when it comes to international shipping but let's get on with the product itself when I first got this product I I first picked it up and I was like wow the box was relatively small and the product felt really lightweight I was like oh well I paid $30 for this but as soon as I unbox it and as soon as I put it into the headphones I realized Wow okay these guys have solved a really sort of niche problem and they're addressing a niche problem with a niche product and they deserve in my opinion they deserve $30 for a product like this because they're the only people I know who are doing such an awesome product like this this will turn any gaming headphone with a headphone out 3.5 millimeter jack or anything like that into a gaming headset and not only that the cable itself is braided it's high-quality you're not going to lose any signal quality with this cable the cable quality let's talk about the cable itself it's 2 meters long so it's ample fine in my opinion I'd like to see this cable about 2 and 1/2 meters I personally find a 2 and 1/2 meters is a perfect sweet spot for me with cable but 2 meters is generous I like the fact that it's 2 meters it could be worse so 2 meters is good two and a half meters would be perfect 3 meters would be a little bit too much but 2 meters is good I'm not going to complain too much about that let's look at the clip now the clip in my opinion is my favorite part of the headphone it's the most it feels really good it's really nice touch the actual spring on it works really well it has a mute button on it if you want to quickly mute your head your microphone and it also has a volume control knob not only that the clip itself feels really high-quality and it looks good as well the actual cable itself feels really light the whole product feels really light however some may see this as a negative but I do see it is a little bit of the positive because it makes everything lightweight the cable is ultimately going to be attached to your headphones and it's going if the light of the light of the weight the less drag it's going to have on your head so the fact that this is really lightweight is actually a benefit for me now let's look at the microphone itself the microphone itself is I believe it's a 3.5 millimeter jack and now the microphone is small when you first get this microphone you're going to think wow this is a small microphone however it does what I need it to do and it I think I mean I'm going to assume that the voice quality is good because I'm telling the review from this microphone it also feels pretty well built I mean the memory on the cable is really good so if I move this microphone here it'll stay there it won't move if I move it up it'll stay there and it won't move as well so I really like that feature as well now let's move on now to the actual jacks themselves they're all 3.5 milimeter jacks and they feel a little bit flimsy I would like to see V motor in the future if they didn't version two of this maybe make the jacks a little bit more chunky a little bit bigger they'd feel a little bit flimsy to me so false that could take something about this product it would probably be the jacks now it does come with a wire adapter so if if you need that just if if your phone or any any device supports the three prong all three the three lines then that'll plug into that but if you're using it like me with a computer and you need to split the headphone and the mic cables this wire adapter will be essential the Y adapter itself fills reasonably good quality and messes to standard Y adapter and ultimately this product it comes together to work and I'm going to come back to you guys now so I'll just move back to the condenser now and I want to know your feedback did you guys think the v-moda boom Pro sounded good my friend our last night on skype he said it sounded pretty good I'm going to check the video myself and see how it sounds but hopefully it sounds pretty damn good also I'm going to say is this product worth $30 if there was twenty other competitors out there I would say no but since v-moda have gone to the lengths to make a niche product that addresses a niche market I'm going to say yes v-moda definitely deserve $30 for this product I think it's fair value considering they're the only ones that have gone out and made this product if those like I said if there's twenty other competitors making this I'd say about twenty dollars would be fair value but the Emotiv really gone to the lengths to make this and the effort to make this product so I believe they deserve the money anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this review if you have any questions about the V mode of boom Pro and please leave a comment in the comment
