V-Moda Boom Pro Headset Mic Review / Test 

Ye

obviously. this impressive. without any software , this mic beats all. probably blue snowball also

@@riteshpandya466 the only drraw back is no noise cancellation

@@revenant7276 you want noise cancellation? Sony WH1000XM4.

@@Hysandel or xm3))

wtf does that even mean

They're Blue Microphone models

Guillaume Belzil really?is it better than the ice?

I would say it could sound close to a Snowball with some audio editing. You can hear it clipping a couple times when he talks louder, but that can be fixed pretty easily in Audacity.

a couple time? he clips non-stop.. it's dumb.. he makes this mic sound like shit.. no idea why youtubers allow that to happen in every damn mic test video out there.

Super happy to hear that! =)

@@Podcastage I want to use this with my Playstation Gold headset so I can use the Golds on my Xbox (without having to purchase another headset). Will this do the job?

Scratching Beyond The Surface So two years later do you still use your original V boom mic? Because I’ve been wondering about it’s lifespan before buying.

Thanks very much! Really appreciate that.

Yeah I've subbed him this year only and had the same thought when I saw the sub count!! Definitely the audio guru everyone should know about!!

+LouisM Yeah. In the supplemental article I write, I point out that the signal is really hot and that there is a bit of clipping. My input gain was set at 5% for this. You can fix it by moving the mic slightly farther away though. =)

+DOMOLIMAX youtube Thanks so much for the kind words man. You're too kind! =) Hope I can continue to make videos that you find helpful. =)

+apple sauce Nope. Whole video made with mic.

cynexyl Great questions! I hope Bandrew gets to answer these. because I plan on picking this boom mic soon.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the build quality of this mic, it's super helpful for other people researching. I hope th ey resolve it for you and hope it's fixed on future iterations.

@@Podcastage exactly, I am not knocking the product, it's great and at a great price, I just hope they improve the reliability of that switch.

+TheDestron I do not understand what you mean.

Hello, i have the same headset and was planning to do the exact same. Would you mind sharing your experience?

+Retro JKT Holy crap. I can't believe it. It's insane. I just hope all 2K people find the videos helpful and stuff.

+Podcastage about to double up on the suscribers, congrats bud! lol

MPaluba Thanks man. It's insane. Glad people are finding the videos useful. =)

yooo 63k ! this is crazy great job man! thank you!

@@TheSultanoooooo looking back at this now and i have nothing but respect.

Are you using a USB Soundcard?

No. Just the integrated one in my Motherboard and/or GPU. Maybe therein lies the problem, though... Interference from other things inside the computer? Idk..

+Benjamin Ewald Good idea. I will try to remember to do that in my next videos.

+Podcastage awesome :]

Dingus i got this mic coming tomorrow to connect to my crossfade wireless to play BF1. How isit? also going to connect my cayin C5 amp into the controller then passing into headset

Thank you kindly.

+computer man Holy crap! Have I seriously made almost 70 videos!? No wonder why I have no money do anything. HAHAHA!

Podcastage you also nearly reached 2k subs congrats man u should get sponsored by a company or something cause this is your work and you deserve to be paid for your good work (THANKS FOR MAKING THESE VIDS) wish you the best of luck :)

computer man Thanks so much. I don't think I have anywhere near a following that would justify sponsors investing in me. Sponsorships also just make me feel icky when I have to actively promote their products. When I was in a band, I had pickup and string endorsements and that just meant if people asked I would tell them what I used. I wouldn't have to go around and say "HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT WHAT I'M USING!" ... but if I want to make this into a job down the line, I may have to suck it up. Regardless. Thanks so much!

Podcastage np :)

+Quocamole1206 What dollar range are you thinking?

+Podcastage Somewhere around $50 or $60. However, maybe switching it up to Best Headsets under x amount of dollars would be a good idea. Either way, thanks for considering!

I need to do a headset one. I just don't think I have enough yet. I need a few more under $100 before I do one.

I don't recall off the top of my head which one picks up less background noise. I PERSONALLY would pick the c01u pro because it's just a better mic, but that's up to you.

+Mr. BunnyRabbit You are too kind! Thank you sir!

np np ;3

You could just cut that shit of and put a antlion modmic on there Dont actually cut it off but i do recommend it but it is 50$s

+Shiv Lala Yes it should work with it as long as the package you order for the boom arm, or the shockmount comes with the 5/8" to 3/8" mic stand adapter. Both packages came with it for me, so it should work for you too.

No they don't. You would have to use a DAW to get live monitoring, and there will likely be some latency.

It does

The Sabrent usb soundcard should work for the mic input well since it doesn't have a high voltage requirement.

amzn.to/1Y0VIXj

go look at your audio setting in the control panel' make sure the recording level is not very low and also that the mic mute switvh is not on

Your'e very welcome. and thank you.

+Vengeance I had considered it. I'm just so bad at games. I was told that watching people that are really bad at games isn't that fun. HAHA!

Podcastage In this day and age even people who are horrible at games tend to get a follow BECAUSE of how bad they are. Who know's until you try right?

+Gârtu - Nebunu cu controlleru' That microphone is already on my poll.

+Gârtu - Nebunu cu controlleru' I own both and in my personal opinion this sounded A LOT better. But, I guess it's all personal opinion.

Quintin Fertig That's what's so cool about audio. There aren't any absolutes. It's all up to personal interpretation and personal preference. It's SO COOL! =)

+Joseph Giubardo Those look like pretty nice headphones! =)

+Podcastage Try them, they are incredible for their price

+MultiWeirdthings Yes..because it provides a new microphone attached to it.

+ЋeChairGamr™ You got it exactly right. It's Andrew but with a 'B' in front: BANDREW. =) And I only guarantee a video every Tuesday which I still release every Tuesday. But I have been releasing videos on Friday & Sunday as well. But those other two days are not guaranteed. With this Polling system, I may have to take a few Friday & Sunday's off because people have voted for a few $200+ microphones....so....that means I'm going to be BROKE. HAHA! So yeah. Tuesday, and sometimes Friday & Sunday.

+Podcastage Okay, thanks for the explanation =)

+Podcastage Hey! I just discovered your channel a few days ago and for a (relatively from what I know) new youtuber, I must say I am super impressed. All of your reviews are super professionnal, very clean and scientifically driven. And even though you seem to know quite a lot about mics, you impose the same treatment for each new mic you're reviewing with rigourous and basic - but efficient - methods, and only judge them at the end. And I love your enthousiasm, plus the videos are super good quality. In two words, good job! All of that to just ask you something that might be useful for you too: Why don't you do like in a guy's channel called "Z-Reviews" (very good channel) where the dude reviews (I couldn't have guessed, really, haha!) stuff (mostly high end audiophile headphones and speakers) that subscribers lend to him (he gets an headphone for like a week and then sends it back). Since a lot of the headphones that he is reviewing are rare and quite pricy, he doesn't need to sell a kidney in order to make all of these reviews, haha! And also he gets to review a very large diversity of products thanks to this method. And that's where the first part of my comment comes in hand: you're growing fast, with good quality and trustworthy content. So I guess It'd not be hard to put in place the very same system. I even have already seen a guy in one of your videos in the comment section saying that he could lend you his mic asking for a review. I'm a genius, I know.

Dimitri Gonçalves Bilien "Read more (35 lines)" Me: Oh god no........

+IronMech Dragon Never used hyperx cloud 2 headset. So I am uncertain. This replaced the cable on a wireless/wired headset.

+Podcastage thank you for the answer! Do you by any chance have good recommendations of headsets to use?

Do you have a TRRS input on computer?

I ended up figuring it out. I had to go into the recording section instead of the sound section. Just out of curiousity, what is a TRRS input? I have it plugged into my Creative Omni Soundblaster 5.1 dac amp

TRRS is a single 3.5mm port that works as headphone & mic input.

Unfortunately not. It has to be a headset that allows you to remove the 3.5mm headphone cable. This takes the place of that.

+Luoyisi Shimisi My pleasure. =)

I prefer the audio generated by the mod mic. Also, you can add the mic to ANY headset you want. I don't own a PS4 or know anything about it so I have no idea which one works with it or anything. I just know when running through computer, I like MODMIC4.0 better.

He uses a webcam

I have actually started using a canon 70d

Podcastage awesome setup!

I highly doubt that it would work. But, I cannot be certain as I have not tested the bluetooth adapter.

First of all thank you so much for the quick answer. I guess now I will just try it, I have nothing to lose I guess. If you want I can tell you what happened, but It will take some weeks until I got them, cheers m8.

Yes please let me know.

If it fits in your phone. You would have to hold it if it not plugged in head phones

Yes it should.

Might be too late, but yes they do. You just need to get a 25-35mm adapter. It's super cheap and works good.

Do you use the Quietcomfort with a PS4? If so, how does it sound?

+Pray Nicoya I suppose that's something I could do down the line.

+DagicCross Based on the removability of the cord, I would say it should work. But...some headphones have a really strange plug on them that limit what shape rubber grip of the 3.5mm plug can be. But to me it looks like it would work. But once again...this is pure speculation. I don't want to say 100% yes because I have never held those headphones in my hand and tested them...I'm basing this on pictures online.

+Podcastage Thanks for that quick answer! I'm still doing some more research, It is not necessary getting the M50X but I needed a good pair of studio headset with a good mic on, what do you recommend? Most importantly it needs to be comfortable for the purposes :)

DagicCross Lucky for you I just found a solution. Get a really nice pair of headphones that you want, and then get the Omni Directional Mod Mic. =) Mounts right to the headphones and sounds AWESOME!

+Pro VideoGamer99 I did the blue snowball ice, and the blue snowball is already on my poll www.geeksrising.com/podcastage

Only if the headset has a detachable 3.5mm cable that connects to the headphones. I do not mean a 3.5mm port that you plug the microphone into. This will be a 3.5mm port that you plug a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable to connect it to your computer with.

Podcastage yes, but i have a headset that already has a mic on it, the mic broke on it. So if i plug this in to a headset that has a built-in mic will it still record my voice my voice?

I don't know about that. I'm sorry. I would imagine it would work but I can't say with 100% certainty.

Podcastage okay thanks

Depends on if you have a single mic/headphone input or if you have a 3.5mm headphone port and 3.5mm mic input.

i have the double on my laptop and separate headphone and mic on my pc.

did u use a usb soundcard and if you did do you think it affected anything?

No I did not. I walk through how I connected this directly to my MacBook pro.

thank you for responding :)

I'm honestly uncertain if you will need a USB Soundcard. You may not. You can always buy a USB Soundcard if the performance is not up to the level you want. And there isn't any way to get better isolation since it is an omnidirectional mic. The other optino is a Unidirectional Mod Mic 4.0

Hey Bandrew, so i got ths mic and i was wondering there was a way to make the mic sound better in a game voice chat or Discord. Maybe you could make a tutorial.

Are you plugging directly into your computer? If so, try getting a USB Soundcard (preferably SYBA STEREO USB SOUNDCARD).

Podcastage I have a Asus Maximus Mobo, here's my pc part list, pcpartpicker.com/list/RGdHhq The Motherboard has an Amp and Dac thingy.

Shahzad Khan I understand that. But I don't know what the voltage output of the mic input is. Without that information, I don't know how the mic input performs.

+Rhobert Rocker Audio was not edited. It was plugged directly into my computers single TRRS 3.5mm jack and recorded to quicktime with no adjustments made.

modmic

Could you please explain your opinion?

I like the sound better and you can add it to any headphones you want. You don't need a headphone with a detachable 3.5mm cable.

I do not believe that they have removable cables, so no it would not work.

This is 3.5mm

Podcastage not at all what i was asking for

You asked the size of the Aux Male Tip. It is a 3.5mm cable. It's a standard size. If that's not what you're asking, I don't know what you're asking.

Do you know if this works with the Sony mdr xb950bt?

HDSHOW I am uncertain. I have not tested them so I can't do anything but speculate. On amazon, I see no images with a cable attached. If they have the ability to work with a 3.5mm cable plugged in, then they should work. But as I stated, this is just speculation.

I think that the real issue is inconsistency in audio ports on motherboards.

Probably. This desktop has given me some trouble with noise/interference in USB as well. Just bought a Sabrent to see if the noise continues.

I honesty don't know what would be causing the difference in performance. I just plugged directly into my mac's trrs jack and this is raw audio, unedited. I did not add any effects or cleaning up. Did you check to make sure your input is set appropriately and the audio is not clipping?

Yeah, its not clipping and its not to loud or anything like that. But the sound is just really deep sounds like there is way to high bass and that is sort of killing of the clearity in my voice. I have tried adjusting all the settings i could in Sonic Studio. The driver software for my soundcard

glowpipe Are you talking into the correct side of the microphone? That's the only other possible issue I could think of.

Yeah. it is the correct way. Is it even possible not to ? I have my headphones on the correct way and the boompro arm kinda only goes one way.

glowpipe I am at a loss man. I haven't tested it in quite some time, and didn't have any issues similar to this. Have you contacted VModa to ask for some troubleshooting help?
