It's a microphone that attaches to your headphones with a magnet. It lets you take a regular pair of headphones and have a boom mic.
For some suggestions on headphones, various audio focussed Youtube channels suggest headphones. For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOYRu6q8qJ4. Typically, these outperform gaming headphones.
Been using the USB version with my Dt770s for a while now, needed a cable sleeve so I didn't have two loose wires hanging. But is a decent solution to actually good headphones with an alright mic for cheap.
Have the wired uni version, very good quality ran a lot of workshops over covid lockdowns with it :) all could hear me very clearly, also used it a fair bit for online gaming. Would buy wireless version if buying again! I found the extra wire, although fairly lightwight makes the heaphone cable just a bit too bulky/heavy with the little clips.
How does it work?
