Can?t find a headset/mic combination you like?� Do you have a favorite pair of headphones but no mic?� Wouldn?t it be great to just add a microphone to your own headphones anytime you like?� You may remember my own attempts at using a hot glue gun to attach a microphone to my own comfy headphones? �Fortunately, the AntLion Audio ModMic detachable boom microphone solves this problem.

The NeoClasp magnets have a peel-off adhesive on one side, and a four-pronged ?tooth? system that lets you adjust the mic angle.� If you unscrew the cap, you can adjust the length of the mic boom.
To attach, simply attach the adhesive NeoClasp magnet to your favorite headphones.� You?ll need a flat surface, since the magnet itself is flat.� In my case, my Sennheiser PX100-II folding headphones don?t have a flat surface, so I cut a tiny piece of double-stick foam tape to do the trick.
How does it sound?� Sounds great!� I called up my brothers-in-law, who I usually use to try this sort of stuff out with, and they could not tell I was using something that was essentially completely custom.� Voices sounded almost booming, as if the mic was too close.� The 6mm electret capsule condenser microphone at the end of a 5? long boom is flexible, so you can move it closer or further away from your mouth.� The cable is a VERY generous 11.5 feet long to reach the back of your computer.
If there?s one thing I would improve on is the design of the magnet ?teeth?.� Because there are four teeth, you can only rotate the mic at 90 degree increments.� Perhaps 8 or 16 teeth would have allowed a more usable coarse adjustment for mic-to-mouth alignment, while the bendy bit works for fine tuning.
Now I have no excuse for NOT having my favorite pair of headphones to use for that next Skype session or fragfest!
