Great thread, lots of good info. I've had a few different headphones/headsets for gaming in the past: akg q701, Astro a40, and now a turtle beach stealth 500x. I love the wireless features on the 500x but they aren't too comfortable and I wish the earcups were larger. Sound is pretty good...

Schiit Magni.  Also using the Astro 5.8 mixamp directly to the console.  

So I would definitely recommend this adapter and will be passing it on to the next tester this week.  However, I think I have decided I want to get rid of my Q701's.  Don't get me wrong, they sound amazing and I have no complaints with the headband bumps.  However, I have a big head (no pun...

Yes, it did come with a Y adapter(female into 2 male ends).  I did get things to work finally, the issue I was having is with my amplifier but I do have it running fine through my astro 5.8 mixamp. 

Definitely understand that. Have you used it with an amplifier as well or would you say one is necessary? I got one based on the suggestions in MLE's thread for the q701s. Right now the adapter is working great I just get occasional audio cutouts. Only played with battlefield 4 so far, but I...

Thanks for the suggestion, its working fine when hooked directly into the controller. actually doesn't sound bad at all that way and the mic is responsive. Maybe something wrong with the mix amp perhaps or just the Xbox being picky. Either way I would definitely be on board with purchasing this...

Still not able to get anything to pick up from the mic at all. Sound is coming through fine. I'm using it with the Xbox one and its not picking up anything in party chat. I'm gonna try to hook the mic to my computer and verify it actually is working.

I think the issue is with the mic or the way I have it hooked up. I'm using it with the schiit magni amp and I think the rca to 3.5" cable I had wasn't fitting correctly. Trying again tonight so I'll post an update soon.

Nice looking work indeed. I took a few shots of the adapter last night but unfortunately could not get my vmoda mic working. Literally the first time I've used it and I think I found the problem but I need to test things again later today. Very impressed with how clean the design is and the...

I should have the adapter later today, just received an update on the tracking #.  I'll try to post a picture tonight if I can remember.  Off work tomorrow so should be able to put up some impressions soon as well.  

I have not yet received the adapter, hopefully I can get it this week. I'll definitely have some impressions up ASAP once I get it. 

I should be receiving the test unit this week.  I will definitely post a few pictures and give my impressions when I get my hands on it before sending it on to the next person. 

I am in the USA.

Count me in, I'm definitely interested in this.  I have the Q701s and have been on the fence about which microphone to pick, the antlion mics seems ok but having to deal with an extra wire seems like a pain.  

MLE thanks for putting this guide together.  Helped me narrow down my choice and ended up with the Q701s, schitt amp, and astro 5.8 mixamp.  On the Xbox One I get great sound and actually the mixamp I bought from another user on here included the Astro A30's.  Tried them and compared to the AKG...

Zombie X, I would also be interested in the v moda mic adapter to test.  Just ordered some Q701s through amazon that will be here shortly.  I'm on xbox, same as my user name and ps4 as well: sweaterpuppies
