How to add a wireless gaming mic to any headphones (ModMic Wireless)
85Got yourself some headphones but need a mic for chatting to your friends? Not a fan of gaming headsets? Don't want a standalone microphone? How about a wireless mic that you can attach to (nearly) any headphones to create your own gaming headset.
ModMic Wireless is a crazy (if expensive) mic that you can easily attach to headphones for great sound. In this video I'm attaching it to the Beyerdynamic DT700 Pro X headphones (https://youtu.be/z-kpczHI4JE) and the HyperX Cloud Alphas (which I will be reviewing soon).
