A good, affordable option but not perfect
I paired this with my Audio Technica M40x headphones to use as a mic for my PS4 and PC. Voice quality is overall clear and it's very easy to install. However, you should play around with the sensitivity because the people I was talking to reported a very high pitched screeching sound every time I raised my voice (and not by much, either). This occurred on two different BoomPros. The problem was mitigated by decreasing the sensitivity. The cable is also really long which might be good if your PC is far away but I found it a bit cumbersome. The clip is also pretty large and you can definitely feel it when you attach it to your clothes. But overall its ease of use, good voice clarity, low cost, and versatility make it a great buy for anyone who already has a good set of headphones.

Boom Pro mic review
Works well with the headset. Clear voice on laptop during chat, clear voice on game chat. The adapter helps alot with the laptop connection. The fabric braided wire is great and makes it easy to maneuver on clothing. The clip to hold the wire in place is also good. Length of the wire is excellent, even though some snags may occur you have enough length to not cause any crazy rips. Volume wheel and mute switch work well on the headset. Wish it would amplify and make things louder...but not exactly a realistic idea. Sound quality is good. Outside noises do not interfere with mic within reason. As in i could communicate with background noise not interfering. However if i stood directly next a loud machine or where a fan is max level the soind of the noise would combine with my voice making it loud yet clear. Items included...boom pro mic, adapter and registr as tion of equipment.

Extends the functionality of great 'phones
The XS phones are some of the best headphones I've ever heard and used. The BoomPro also makes it a great headset. The Mic sounds very clear, great for Skyping. The quality of the cable itself makes it worth the $30 you pay for it. Highly recommended - replaces the need of having a separate headset.

Best mic quality but the mute switch isn't perfect
The mic is clear and good quality, it's probably the best one out there, especially for the price. I use it with the Beyerdynamic Custom Studios and it's plugged into the Astro Mixamp Pro TR. The mute switch started being finicky after 6 months. Sometimes I need to push it down all the way, with force, for it to actually mute me. I'm not sure how common of an issue this is but once it starts to consistently fail, I'll exchange it with the best buy warranty. I do use this everyday for hours and am constantly switching the mute switch on & off. That being said, I would still recommend this mic to everybody based on the quality of the mic itself, the price, and the convenience it gives me for being a detachable cable.

Great quality for a decent price
This was just what I needed for my new mic-less headphones. Rather than sacrifice headphone quality or mic quality, now I can have both without spending too much. The mic quality will ultimately depend on your sound card, but is definitely better than any cheap gaming headset I've owned
