Mountable headset

[jabar]

I have a pair of Senn HD595s. I don't want to replace them for something else just because they don't have an integrated mic. What would be the best mountable mic options yall would recommend?

Modmic by Antlion audio

Yeah, modmic is one of the better options, the only alternative worth considering is a desk mounted one. The benefit of that is that they're very popular with a lot of online content creators, so you can often check what they're using and then check out the sound quality of their content for a demonstration.
TotalBiscuit talked a lot about microphones once, although I think that was geared more towards other content creators so his recommendations might be a bit unnecessary for you. Day9 uses a fairly cheap blue ball thing that seems to work great for him. That's about all I can remember about it atm.

they suggest this cheap one (order a few because they are only $2.31)

here are the notes:
This is my baby. It is incredibly cheap ($2.31, and has a free shipping option!). It's a clip on, so it can be clipped on to your headphone's cable or your shirt. The sound quality is similar to the LVA7330, meaning bright, thin, but clear. It's shielding prevents it from picking up unnecessary outside noise (unlike the borderline horrible Zalman clip-on mic, which you need can really only use in a very silent room, picks up all noises, yet you have to scream at the damn thing to pick up your voice clearly). The DX clip-on picks up your voice very easily, and you don't even have to talk loud. Not as elegant as the Antlion, but it's a great mic for those wanting to save money, or as an alternative. For the cost cheaper than a value meal at McDonalds, this one should be ordered by everyone currently looking for a mic.

There is a catch. The DX mic takes a LONG time to reach your hands from the time you place your order. Seriously. It takes around a month's time. So I recommend you order it and forget about it, and then get surprised when it DOES come. Lol.

This is the only mic I own, and I'm 100% satisfied with.

UPDATE: IF you are having a problem with this mic not picking up your voice, clip the mic to the headphone's cable, and not your shirt.

I just went to Walmart one day, found a cheap swivel mic that was like $5 bux, used some velcro tape, and smacked it on the side of my HD555's..... works like a charm!
