Don't get mod mic. If you do get omni directional. Get a desktop standing microphone and it'll sound much clearer.

I haven't had any issues with my modmic and I have liked mine a lot. But it is true that desktop mics can offer better quality, but can also pick up more keyboard noise as well.

There's really no point in buying a desktop mic if all you're gonna do is speak to other people in TS. If you stream and stuff I could understand you'd want something better though.

I have a number of mod mics over the years and they go bad.

How they go bad? Mine is still as good as it was new.

The mic quits picking up or gets distorted. I've have the gen 1 and 2. Not sure about any after that. I think he's up to gen 4. Who knows.

Huh?

You can get a desktop mic for like $6 that works great for Voip programs.

The Swan Hivi M200mkii / mkiii are up on massdrop again.


Really recommend them if you're looking for a good 2.0 setup.

In that case I would think modmic is better?

I have the 4.0 version and still running strong.
