Kind of sad. I got some EPOS mic+phones for pretty cheap, albeit not as good value as just micless Sennies, and I think the space saving is actually really good. I barely have room for my mic, and it gets worse when I'm somewhere with very little desk space to work with. It seems very difficult to get something that combines all the needs of: flat frequency response and an adequate quality mic, very little by way of space requirements, and a not-outrageous price. I just fold the mic up and put it where I have space for my headset, ezpz.

I'm open to suggestions for replacements, of course.

One way would be to use small mics, like a lavalier mic.

Tho they are omnidirectional, and without noise cancellation. They also aren't as good quality as a big mic.

Another way would be to use something like the modmic from Antlion. They have different models, but all seem worse quality for the sound than the modmic 5 they discontinued.

They're worse than modmic 5 but still better than any gaming headset mic.

That is not true at all.

Epos "still" has great mics on the h6 pro.

Corsair has very good mics on the premium headset (virtuoso), and the wired hs80.

Razer also has a very good mic on the blackshark v2 pro 2023 (not the old one).

Hyperx has a very good mic on their wired cloud 3.

Drop x Sennheiser has a good mic on the pc38x.

Beyerdynamic has a very good mic on their mx300 gen2

Audio Technica has be best ever mic on a headset currently on the m50xsts (or other with the same mic, not sure if they have other similar ones).

And all of these mic sound better than what modmic has currently not discontinued.
