I don't have any experience with add on mics, but ModMic's get praised all over the interwebs. They're kinda spendy though.Ok, so i have been looking at building a gaming set with headphones and a clip on mike. I am liking the Sennheiser 599, But there seems to be a lot to choose from. I know I want open back, but beyond that, I don’t have much else to go on. If I chicken out, I am grabbing the Astro a-50s.

This cross-post is fine. Plenty of guys with knowledge in the Berry who don't frequent the VG. Some tech is interesting to the Berry, too. That's why the Smartphone thread is in here when technically it should go in the VG/Tech forum.
Gaming headphones are much shittier than actual audiophile headphones. Better off getting a good pairt of real headphones and a standalone mic as the quality of both aspects will be significantly better. If you really want a pair of good gaming headphones though Sennheiser does make sets that use tech based off of (but not equivalent to) some of their audiophile lines. There are Youtube vids that compare quality as well.

I don't understand. The Hyper X Cloud mic is detachable, is it not? You could attatch any mic on it if the original is broken.
My Hyper X Cloud wire got fucked up and it wasn't detachable so I just recently bought the Sennheiser 558's. Great sound and very comfortable. I use Windows Sonic on Xbox to hear footsteps in Rainbow 6 Siege. It's a free app that turns the sound coming from your headphones into something like surround sound and let's you hear audio coming from above and under you.
Normal stereo will still give off better quality sound and louder base though. Windows Sonic is only good if you're playing games where hearing foot steps is very important.
Your cord for the hyper x got wrecked? That braided cord is the best i have ever seen.
And I am not able to find the windows sonic. I searched the store and nothing comes up. Ideas?
Oh I forgot, It's already in the settings. Go to Settings, Display and sound, then Audio output. From there change the Headset format from Stereo to Windows Sonic.
You will notice the volume will be a bit louder, especially the menu.
