Rest assured, though, that affiliates never stop us from giving our honest opinions about products &ndash; we always review fairly! <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-why-consider-using-a-modmic\">Why Consider Using a ModMic? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We live in an era where we&rsquo;re spoiled for choice when it comes to mics. You can buy some quality gear for not very much at all, as we&rsquo;ve covered in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/equipment\/the-best-podcasting-microphones-on-the-market\/\">best podcast microphones<\/a> roundup. Now, here I am adding even more choice to the mix, but with good reason. Here are some reasons you might want a ModMic: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-small-or-non-existent-desk\">Small (Or Non-existent) Desk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Desk space is at a premium for many creatives, and that&rsquo;s assuming you even own one. True, a boom arm only takes up a few inches of tabletop, but it&rsquo;s still a big lump of metal that can annoy you in other ways when you&rsquo;re not recording. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desk stands have their limitations, too. Even if you have the room to accommodate one, they&rsquo;re almost never posture-friendly and are susceptible to conducting noise each time you accidentally bump or kick a table leg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-travel-much\">Travel Much?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a Mary Poppins-esque ability to pack a bag that qualifies as hand luggage, you probably don&rsquo;t want to be lugging around a Blue Yeti in there. All of the ModMics I&rsquo;ve used have come in a handy, portable wee box that is robust enough not to get squashed. It&rsquo;s about the same size as your sunglasses case, which is something you won&rsquo;t need if you&rsquo;re visiting Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"267\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-case-267x300.jpg\" alt=\"modmic travel case\" class=\"wp-image-58312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-case-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-case-768x863.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-case-350x393.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-case-445x500.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-case-580x652.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-case-700x786.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-case.jpg 883w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-splashed-out-on-fancy-headphones\">Splashed Out on Fancy Headphones? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, maybe you haven&rsquo;t recently bought yourself a pair of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/sennheiser-hd600\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sennheiser HD600<\/a><\/strong>s; maybe you just <em>like <\/em>your existing cans and find them as comfortable as an old pair of slippers. In any case, you want the convenience of a headset-style mic but not the discomfort that tends to accompany it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-need-dynamic-hands-free-presentation\">Need Dynamic, Hands-Free Presentation? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s true that most podcasting mics are &ldquo;hands-free&rdquo; but usually set in a semi-static condition. If you&rsquo;re a practical demonstration kind of podcaster&mdash;say, a yoga instructor, chef, or DIY expert&mdash;the last thing you want to think about is, &ldquo;Am I still on-mic?&rdquo;. With a ModMic, you never need to worry about that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you tick one (or all) of these boxes, read on and consider the Antlion ModMic 2 USB and ModMic Uni 2&hellip;<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1068023593?h=5b8d375e6a&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Antlion Modmic USB 2 &amp; Uni 2\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-the-modmic-2-usb\">The ModMic 2 USB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you believe me if I told you this was a USB mic? I know, I know, but it&rsquo;s my job to break down these complex technical schematics so that you don&rsquo;t have to. Anyway, yes, it pops into your computer or gaming console via a USB (A) connection, and there&rsquo;s a USB-A to C adapter in the box for the hipsters. There&rsquo;s also a handy Mute button on the boom neck; if you&rsquo;re an expert (like me), you&rsquo;ll know exactly what that does!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The ModMic 2 USB currently costs $89.95 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/modmic-usb-2-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check prices on Amazon<\/a>) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-the-modmic-uni-2\">The ModMic Uni 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ModMic Uni 2 switches out USB for a 3.5mm connection. A 3.5mm plug is the wee one we all had on our earbuds back in the halcyon days. You can plug this directly into your computer if it has a 3.5mm jack specifically for an input (mic); the wee icon next to it will tell you. If you only have one 3.5mm jack on your computer, it&rsquo;s almost certainly an output (headphone), and you&rsquo;ll need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/audio-y-splitter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an adapter<\/a> to run the Uni 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ll also find 3.5mm jacks on most gaming controllers. I ran mine into my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/equipment\/zoom-h5-review-for-podcasting\/\">Zoom H5<\/a> recorder, and I could also stick a 1\/4&Prime; adapter on it and run it into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/equipment\/focusrite-scarlett-2i2-review\/\">Focusrite Scarlett 2i2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ModMic Uni 2 has a Mute switch on the boom neck. If you&rsquo;re a Mute button enthusiast, it looks and clicks slightly different from the USB 2 version, so write that in your wee &lsquo;Mute Buttons of the World&rsquo; book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The ModMic Uni 2 currently costs $59.95<\/strong> <strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/modmic-uni-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check prices on Amazon<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-how-does-the-modmic-attach-to-my-headphones\">How Does the ModMic Attach to My Headphones?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-to-headphones-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"attaching a modmic to your headphones is easy\" class=\"wp-image-58313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-to-headphones-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-to-headphones-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-to-headphones-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-to-headphones-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-to-headphones-445x445.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-to-headphones-580x580.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-to-headphones-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/modmic-to-headphones.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Each ModMic comes with a bag of small magnetised clips. Stick one of these on your headphones, and you can attach and detach your mic quickly and easily. This means you&rsquo;re not permanently turning your headphones into a headset, and the clip is so unobtrusive you barely notice it. I&rsquo;ve had one stuck to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/audio-technica-ath-m20x-professional-studio-monitor-headphones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Audio-Technica M20Xs<\/a> for the best part of eight years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-antlion-modmics-any-downsides\">Antlion ModMics: Any Downsides? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cons are an inevitable part of any gear review, and the ModMic USB 2 and Uni 2 have some potential downsides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-lack-of-active-monitoring-with-the-modmic-usb-2\">Lack of Active Monitoring With the ModMic USB 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing yourself talk, as you talk, is good practice for recording any audio. You&rsquo;ll be able to pick up on any technical issues and correct poor mic technique immediately, as opposed to discovering them baked into the hour-long file you&rsquo;ve just started listening back to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, with the ModMic USB 2, your output is your headphones, which are plugged directly into the computer; thus, there is no active monitoring. For this to happen, a future iteration of the ModMic USB would need to have a 3.5mm jack on the device itself, as I&rsquo;m sure the team at Antlion are very much aware of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-compatibility-of-the-modmic-uni-2\">Compatibility of the ModMic Uni 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many laptops don&rsquo;t have a 3.5mm <em>input<\/em> jack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to run the Uni 2 into your computer, you might need to buy an additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/go\/amazon\/audio-y-splitter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;splitter&rdquo;-style adapter<\/a>. You can pick one of these up for $8-$10, which still gives you a great-sounding mic (with all the pros and conveniences mentioned earlier) for around $70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also worth mentioning that any 3.5mm mic is heavily dependent on whatever you&rsquo;re running it into. I&rsquo;m getting great results with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepodcasthost.com\/equipment\/zoom-h5-review-for-podcasting\/\">Zoom H5<\/a>, but it&rsquo;s a first-class audio recorder. Don&rsquo;t expect amazing results if you plug it into a tin of spam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading \" id=\"h-conclusion-the-antlion-modmic-usb-2-amp-uni-2\">Conclusion: The Antlion ModMic USB 2 &amp; Uni 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For folks who lack space (especially desk space), often travel or record on the go, or really like the comfort of their existing headphones, a ModMic could be a great option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A ModMic&rsquo;s setup time is less than two seconds, so they are ultra handy, especially if you get a text like &ldquo;We are all waiting in the recording channel. Where are you?&rdquo; or &ldquo;Quick, let&rsquo;s pwn some n00bz in <em>Grand Theft Auto: Bognor Regis<\/em>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a final note, just remember that there&rsquo;s never any one-size-fits-all answer when buying a mic, so weigh up your own situation and needs against the ModMic&rsquo;s offerings.
