The PC and console gaming headset industry often sees manufacturers prey on uninformed consumers and sell overpriced units that simply don't sound good or feel comfortable when compared to a decent pair of headphones from manufacturers like Sennheiser or Grado. That isn't to say that every gaming headset out there is garbage, I personally love the HyperX Cloud Alpha and their included microphone, but many gaming headsets suffer from sub-standard microphone quality and in scenarios where clear communication is essential, a high quality microphone is a must. Why does there have to be a sacrifice in microphone quality when using a headset? What if you can just eliminate the ?gaming headset? middleman and make your own headset, potentially superior to what any manufacturer is pushing on gamers? For users who want to take their favorite pair of Audio Technica, Beyerdynamics, Sennheiser, or other audiophile headset and add a quality microphone to them, Antlion produces the ModMic 5.
