Page 1: Antlion ModMic Wireless – external microphone with very good recording quality

There are tons of “gaming” headsets on the market for every budget, but many users who have high demands on good sound quality often use normal headphones from the hi-fi range. An obvious disadvantage of these headphones is a missing microphone and this is exactly where the Antlion Audio ModMic Wireless comes into play, which we examine in more detail in our test.

A user has various options to record his voice on the PC and the hardware selection is very extensive. Antlion is a well-known manufacturer of external microphones in this area and has been offering a popular product, the ModMic, for many years, so that normal hi-fi headphones can also be used as a headset on the PC. Exactly this ModMic, which was previously only available in a wired version, is only available as a wireless version.

Everyone knows the problem with the cables and then it is you are also happy when you can use a component without a cable. Unfortunately, it is usually the case that voice transmissions in the wireless sector do not always shine with very good results. But if you only look at the technical properties of the ModMic Wireless at first, you can hope that we can expect a decent quality. If you compare this with, for example, the Audio Technica ATH-G1WL, which showed a very good voice recording, the expectations are correspondingly high.
