    Broke the wire on my Modmic 4 at the strain relief point. Need advice.

    Hah well if it makes you feel better other people have also successfully soldered the wiring since this post many years ago :) But good to hear you got so much extra life out of it!

    Microphone cable options for Hifiman Sundara?

    Just making sure you've ruled out the ModMic Wireless. We like to think the quality is pretty amazing (and not very bulky). If that isn't your cup of tea none of the big brands make 2-cable solutions so you're going to be stuck with the random stuff from China.

    Broke the wire on my Modmic 4 at the strain relief point. Need advice.

    Haha this poor thread is apparently now the generic ModMic tech support thread :) You can actually just replace it with the same adhesive. It's 3M VHB Tape 4941 (The number is important) 0.5" - It costs about $10 for a roll of the stuff. Here's an Amazon link...

    The ol' chair guillotine gets another ModMic. RIP my friend. I wanted to weigh in and wish you luck and to let me know how it goes. Sadly, I personally am the wrong person to ask BUT I have asked one of our engineers we will see what he says (which could well be he has no idea where to get the...

    DAC/AMP for PS4 with chat

    You shouldn't get any feedback loop on the ModMic in most scenarios, even in omni mode. If you do it's probably a strange mix of the mic is too hot, the headphones too loud, or the mic is positioned oddly. Anyway, easier fixes than tape out there for this. Moving the mic slightly, lowering the...

    Antlion's Best Wireless Headphone of 2018 List

    Heya everyone! As some of you may remember every year we put together our top headphones list and let you argue about how invalid the list is! This year we're actually breaking our list into two parts, first wireless and then wired later this year. As you can see by my "industry tag" I work...

    Sometimes there is a hissing sound when I record using my mod mic 5

    Intermittent problems are always hard to trouble shoot. Usually they are caused by an outside force, so a router, phone, modem, fans, graphics cards under load, or something turning on and off. One thing to check for sure if turning on lights near the device causes it to occur. Its a rare issue...

    Recommend Headphone for Home office

    For what it's worth I use the ATH-R70x in the Antlion office. I don't know that they're the best for gaming, but they ARE one of the most comfortable, and since I spend all day wearing them that is my #1 priority.

    Video: Turning ATH-M50x Into Open Back Headphones!

    Hey Folks! Been a while since I have posted anything, but we just wrapped up a cool little DIY project in the Antlion Audio office (We make that ModMic thing, if you recall) about how to turn a pair of Audio Technica M50x Headphones into an open back design that can ALSO return to closed back...

    Best Songs/Tracks for comparing two (or more) headphones

    Seems like the general consensus from our Dylan fan is still to stick to music you know over music that is technically complex or highlights a specific area. Excellent info guys, thanks!

    Best Songs/Tracks for comparing two (or more) headphones

    Thanks @castleofargh (and epic Saitama pic).   For some reason having people use their own phones/etc to set it up didn't occur to me. That has some interesting merit to it! Is there general consensus as to which streaming service has the best quality. Though I worry at any show internet can...

    Best Songs/Tracks for comparing two (or more) headphones

    Heya Folks,   I'm sure I am not the first to ask this, but was unable to find a thread that answered this sufficiently.   Are there specific recommended tracks of various styles typically used to show off the advantages/disadvantages of different headphones?    If someone can point me to...

    Which microphone with open headphones?

    Well, I once again point to my "Trade member" status here :)   The issue is that lapel mics are usually pretty sensitive Omni-directional, which means they'll pick up a lot of background noise. While I haven't a clue if that also includes the audio-bleed on your headphones (would depend on...

    Best gaming mice

    I agree entirely with @Nycalex - My favorite of all time was the G500 (until mine died of double click syndrome). I own the G502 but it isn't as good. It isn't BAD, its just not as good.   Praise my spaceship mouse! How else would company know I am a nerd? Other than the Back to the Future...

    Bloodborne

    The only advice I have is once you're out of the first area and into the Temple you can place summon stones to summon someone to help you fight a boss. If you're not interested in the solo challenge, its a good way to have a lot of fun.   For some reason the devs of Darksouls think "not...
