      @discodraugr5233 I'm rocking the Rockville BluTube amp. I am a fan of how tube amps sound. I love to adjust the treble and bass when I need to and I soley use it for headphones and not speakers.

      have always been a fan of the modmic! but access to it here in South East Asia is limited primarily due to the cost. lol. hope the new wireless one that comes out has as good audio quality as the Corsair HS80. (:

      Is the position of the mic really the best position for cardioid mode for best sound quality?

    • @AntlionAudio

      @@enki42ea I'm not 100% certain what you're asking so I'll try to cover all the bases.
      If the question is if the physical spot its located in this video is correct, yeah more or less it is. Some people prefer it closer than what you see here, which will increase the overall mic volume (so less gain is needed, ergo less line noise), but increase the bass on the mic (google audio proximity effect for more info).
      If the question is if cardioid mode is the best setting for overall sound quality; generally the answer is no. Sound is entirely subjective, but most people feel omni-directional mode is the best quality for our mics (and frankly, in general). Omni mode has the advantage of sounding more natural as it picks up sound from all directions just like ears do (oversimplified). By rejecting noise from the opposite direction of the mic, you get a more compressed sound. These are general rules that vary with every mic capsule, housing design, interface, etc. Additionally most uni mics have less range than omni ones, generally cutting out very low frequencies.
      If the question was something else entirely; sorry for writing this useless novel! :D

    Enjoyed the video. I just wish that the wireless version came with USB c instead of micro USB. The latter is too fragile, and breaks too easily.

      yea the modmic wireless is OLD. its 4 years old and they havent updated it since..

      An updated version is in the works (with USB-C for sure). More info in 2023 and we hope 9to5 will be taking a look again at the many upgrades we have in store! Your feedback is appreciated and we're already on top of it!

    I for sure think the modmic sounds great. Currently figuring out if the modmic sticks on the philips fidelio x3 headphones. I saw them at the end of the video but im not sure where the mic is attached. Im quite scared it might brake the fabric on the ear cushions after removing.

    • @9to5toys
      @9to5toys  Год назад +4

      It does fit on the X3! I have the sticky mount on the metal ring, not on the fabric. It's quite close the where the left cable plugs into the earcup.
