I recently got the astro mixamp and some AD700's.  I used the zalman clip on mic but my friends constantly told me they could never hear me so I decided I need a boom mic.  I had heard about fragtality's velcro mod but I wanted something more elegant so I decided to actually install a jack in the headphones for a removable mic.  I ran the mic cable with the stock AD700 cable through braided sleeving and it splits off into the 3.5mm audio and mic terminations.  I used Neutrik 231-BG connectors for the end terminations and the female jack in the headphones.  The mic was around $.40 on Amazon and works perfectly.  There is no point of this without pics so here they are:
 








  
 

 
I hope you like it!

I was not that hard at all.  If you have soldering experience and know how to use a drill you should be able to do it.  Do not use hot glue to secure it.  I did at first then it came loose so I had to open up my cans again and I smothered it in epoxy then let it dry for 24 hours.

Good work. I have seen this mod done many, many times before, minus the dual split at the end 

 I still can't be bothered doing it though

I have also seen many kids with their velcro and labeltec mics before.  I hated having 2 wires dangling all around me (headphones + zalman clip on) and the velcro mod wouldn't change that so I decided to pull the plug and go the difficult, but more rewarding route.  This was my first headphone mod; when I heard them play after I soldered the terminations I was so glad I didn't break them.

That's pretty amazing. Hopefully I'll be able to do that kind of work someday.
 
edit: oh wait What it's Perry. Didn't expect to see you here. Keep on the good work on your videos, as well as your mods.
