MEZE AUDIO | Boom Mic | Omnidirectional Clear Audio Plug-and-Play Boom Microphone | for Gaming and Remote Work | 3.5mm Male to Dual TS Mono 3.5mm Male Connector Plug | Cable Length 2.50m/8.2ft

I have a few headphones that use a 3.5mm connector - Arya Stealth, HE1000 Stealth, and the Aune AR5000's. This cable works with all of them and adds the ability to change them into a headset with a simple cable swap, and will work with any headphone that uses dual 3.5mm entry. I previously used the antlion modmic, but that involves sticking a magnet to your headphones somewhere and while it works well, asthetically it doesn't work for me. This solves that problem. Microphone sounds outstanding and is beautiful, which is expected of a Meze product. Cable is okay, it's rubber and coils a bit but will likely loosen up over time. Has a volume adjustment and mute switch at the breakaway point. Having a Burson Conductor 3XP (which has a TRRS jack for headphone/mic combo which I've never seen on a high end amp before) means that you can push a ton of juice to your favorite high end headphones, but Burson amps are quite expensive (a much cheaper alternative would be something like the Schiit Hel) but worth it to me, just like this cable. Thank you, Meze.

It was pre-owned but it was in great condition. The mic works very well. Im please with my purchase.

Thes worn amazing except they have a fatal flaw they are so long and skinny at the connection that the snap the connector off inside the headphone very easily do to the tork you can achieve my the long lever force thes have.

I had to return this item. I paired with a very good pair of headphones with the intention of using with Teams/Zoom calls. Microsoft audio driver wouldn't work with them. My audio volume was stuck at 3, so very quiet. I tried a lot including a complex install to create a virtual driver and it did boost and work with Teams but Zoom sounded like it was under water. I'm not sure the mic was the issue more the OS but it just wouldn't work. From what I could tell the recording was good and better than my Webcam mic.

Using it with a Fiio FT1, much better microphonics than the default cable. Mute button does not seem to work very well, audio can still leak through. I just got this, so I need to mess around with the gain and such, but currently the audio from the headphones can leak through into the mic. Mainly using this for discord so the software is pretty good when it comes to non voices, but even just playing a youtube video with people talking that sound can leak through. The mic quality itself is pretty good, though. It's worth mentioning that if your setup doesn't move, for 80$ you can get a pretty cheap Mic + arm combo which is more than sufficient for casual gaming, obviously nothing professional. I suppose it depends on how much you value your desk real estate and potential portability. The TLDR of this would be that if you plan on using this and don't want people to hear you/your music/a video that's playing, make sure you use the software's mute button, whether that be discord, microsoft teams, etc. Update: Plugging this into my motherboard directly (back of the pc) seemed to have solved most of these issues. I believe maybe my ports on the case itself are not very good as I was also having some input issues with the mic. As of a few months later I have no real complaints. Updating to 4 stars as I still feel its a bit overpriced. Cable isn’t perfect, not much noise when rubbing on clothes but more drastic movements can be heard, overall pretty good though Update 1/2026: One of the cables on one of the ears quit working. Only getting audio out of one ear. Guess the lifespan was not that good.

If you have heard of this mic, then you've probably heard it's an amazing quality microphone. And that's true, but that's also why it's getting a lower rating. Let me explain. This microphone is what's called an electret condenser microphone, meaning it's a small, high quality mic that requires voltage (or plug in power) to work correctly. 99% of USB gaming soundcards or plugs for jacks directly in your laptop/desktop/console do NOT have this. If you use this microphone with almost everything you would use a normal gaming headset with, you will have issues in the form of very quiet sounding mic, static noise, and a lot of crosstalk/audio bleed that the microphone picks up from your headset (yes, even properly sealed closed back headphones). To use this mic properly, you need an audio interface that supports plug in power for microphones (generally 5V) or a 3.5mm TRS to XLR adapter like the Rode VXLR and an audio interface that has Phantom Power. Getting these things will cost at minimum $70-$100 depending on the quality of the audio interface you choose. After learning all of this through researching audio connectivity for many hours the past few days, it makes me question why Meze chose to use a microphone requiring a hobbyist level setup, and why this information was so hard to find (you're expected to already know it, you can find many threads online of people complaining about audio bleed/crosstalk with this mic, so I feel comfortable saying it wasn't just me being dumb). Now, knowing all of this, it's a good microphone if you know you already can integrate this into your setup or you don't mind spending $100 to be able to use this microphone without issues. However, there is no other option for an attachable microphone that plugs into headphones with connections in each earcup anyway. So, if you're deciding to use an audiophile level headphone and need a microphone, your only other option is the Antlion modmic if you don't have desk space for a standalone microphone. After the time I spent figuring out how to fix the issue I was having, I do kind of regret not just getting the Antlion modmic, but I'm already in too deep. And oh yeah, the cherry on top is that the cable for this microphone is not good. It's rubber and keeps all the twists that it got from packaging, and can have slight microphonics when rubbing against your clothes. So to summarize, this mic is not for you if you don't already know for a fact you can implement it into your audio interface or you don't mind spending an extra $100 and researching exactly what kind of audio interface and adapters you need (you need something with microphone plug in power or the Rode VXLR adapter + an audio interface with Phantom Power, there I saved you hours of your life). Because of this, I'm giving it a 2/5 stars, but if you are able to get it to work without issue, it's maybe more like 4/5 stars with the one issue being the cable. If you don't know if you can use this microphone (that means you can't), then get an antlion modmic or a standalone mic. UPDATE (after receiving and setting up my audio interface + XLR adapter): the microphone now sounds much more clean and loud. There is still a small amount of crosstalk in Discord if you don't have echo cancellation enabled (this isn't a problem, you should have it enabled, I was just testing) and if your volume is a bit high. Overall, I wouldn't change my ratings of 2/5 overall and 4/5 if you actually have the setup to get it to work correctly. This update is just to confirm how to fix the issue of audio bleed/crosstalk, quiet microphone, and static if you don't mind paying another $100+ to use this microphone.

Replaced my headset cord with this. Works perfectly for what I need, which was to be able to be heard clearly in voice calls.

Nice product with good sound quality but the cable is microphonic. That means when you're on the move and the cable is rubbing on your clothes or you tap or tick on the cable the person who you're talking to on the other side of the line can hear these distortions. Otherwise good clarity. The mute and volume buttons on the cable work well and are of good quality. Minus one star for the microphonics of the cable, that should really not happen on a cable with a microphone.
