While gaming headsets have improved over the years, they still don’t compare to a quality pair of headphones. Especially if you spend a lot of time listening to music on your headset as well. If you go that route you are left without a microphone. You can run a desktop microphone, but if you have background noise, a microphone that is closer to you is still ideal. This is where Antlion Audio’s ModMics have always come in. Not only do they offer an option to use with headphones, but they have also always been focused on the Modmic being a better microphone than what you can get on your typical gaming headset. Well, Antlion Audio is launching two new microphones, their ModMic USB 2 and ModMic Uni 2. Today I’m going to check out both and see how they perform, so let’s dive in.
