Cable Boom Microphone - Volume Control for PlayStation PS4 or Xbox One Controller, PC - Boompro Gaming Mic Compatible with Audio Technica ATH-M50x, ATH-M40x, ATH-M70x Headphones 150CM

This cord functions very well. It has a volume control wheel, the voice clarity on the mic is very good, it looks good, and there is no added weight because of the clip located right under the mic, and it is very easy to use. I use this for gaming (along with my Soundcore Space One Pro headphones) and to record music.

Awesome

higher quality than similar productsespecially the mic: bigger, metal grid in front, one pic in the description actually shows the mic without the foam. In comparison other products have a tiny plastic mic under the foam.Only downside for me: the controls are larger and don't feel as good as the rest.comes in a nice box with an extra splitter adapter cable should you have two plugs instead of a combined one.

I like this boom mice in the headphone wire, a lot. I had a different brand before buying these -- these are much better. The volume control is nice, and the on off switch for the mic is nice. One minor complaint -- it is very difficult to tell which position of the switch in on and off. I scratched a mark in the plastic of the switch, to make it easier to tell which way is on.I don't game, so I didn't rate gaming. And I don't know how to evaluate the noise cancellation. Cancellation isn't switchable, so I can't tell what it does or doesn't do. The people I zoom-meeting with say they can hear me loud and clear. This is the biggest improvement compared to the other brand I tried previously.I broke the first one physically, so I replaced it. (They are not fragile I just managed to break it). And I decided I really like the idea of having a headphone (speakers only) not headset (with an attached mic) to which I add the separate mic in the wire. So when I got additional head phones, I got another of these as well.

This thing is just garbage, and you definitely shouldn't buy it. It's disappointing because when I got it (yesterday) it looked really good, the cable seemed really high quality, and the recording I did with the microphone was very clear and high quality as well. But now today, less than 24 hours later (with maybe 20 minutes of those being active use of the microphone) the mic works very little or not at all. It seems that when you plug the cable into the headphones you basically get a random chance at whether or not the microphone will work at all, despite the audio working perfectly. Looking at the other reviews, it seems the best case scenario for this mic is maybe six months to a year, so it's not if it fails, it's when. Don't buy it.EDIT:Changed it from one star to two because it's still a decent product, and apparently there are literally zero other options except for the VMODA or some random other ones, all of which have worse reviews. The mic is good quality, the controls are very convenient, and it seems that as long as I have 5-10 minutes to unplug/replug the cable in each time I want to use it, I can get it to work until I unplug it again. It's still junk and you shouldn't buy it, but I'm not buying an entire headset or a USB mic so I guess this is my only choice. I'll just use it until it fully dies and get them to replace it under the warranty or something.EDIT 2:Changing it back to one star because now it works about 10% of the time. Sending it back and not reordering another. Do not buy this.

First impression: Very glad I bought this, and the price is a steal.Updates in the Con section below that reflect the two stars off.Pros (Five stars for all this):1. The connector to my Bose QC25s has an excellently snug fit, so the boom mic stays put and doesn't rotate around at all. Five stars for that bit of engineering and tolerance control. Since it won't fit into my headphone carrying case without unplugging, I'll be plugging and unplugging whenever I travel. So it remains to be seen if this snug fit continues over time.2. Very good mic quality. People tell me the mic sounds great. I recorded myself and listened, and am pleased.3. The cable used has a woven jacket and is very flexible. The strain reliefs at the connectors look well designed. I believe they'll do a good job of distributing the strain over enough length of cable that I don't expect these will fray and fail in one spot anytime soon like most iOS device Lightning cables do.4. Has a mute switch on the cord.Cons (-2 stars for all this):1. Wind sock / pop filter falls off at the slightest provocation—must've been an afterthought, as its integration just plain sucks, while most of the rest of this product's engineering is excellent. It has zero retention and simply falls off. Truly a fail. After it fell off for the umpteenth time, I glued it in place with some urethane adhesive.2. Volume and mute control box on cord is bulky, so it has a clip to attach it to clothing.3. Volume control is an analog wheel rather than digital up/down buttons. I'm guessing that makes it more compatible across a variety of products, vs. buttons requiring a digital comm protocol that would only work with specific product lines. With the analog control that works with any product, the manufacturer doesn't have so many SKUs to deal with, allowing lower cost per unit. At a mere $20, I can't complain about the price of this thing.4. Mute button is a switch, and since there's no digital signaling to my phone or computer, there's no indication on the screen that I'm muted. I'd like a dark red on the mute switch to show me it's muted—much like the red that shows on the vibrate switch on my iPhone when it's on vibrate.5. Markings on the volume control and mute button are very low contrast and difficult to see.6. As many have commented, cord is too short. Another couple of feet would be wonderful. Maybe match the length of my stock Bose QC25 cord, which is pretty wonderful.7. Mic is sensitive to RF interference. When used for cell phone calls, people often tell me they hear interference. There's none of this when I'm using WiFi with Zoom or WhatsApp, or using it on my computer.8. Update after a few years of use: The plastic lapel clip cracks and splits, allowing the metal spring beneath to poke through. This renders the spring clip useless, and the sharp spring poking out catches on everything. I'll likely have to remove the entire clip with a hacksaw. Thicker plastic on the clip would resolve this.
