1. Just curious if this is meant to be semi permanent attachment. For example I recently picked up the AKG 7XX. I'd like to have a mic for occasional use but would like to be able to attach, and take on and off as needed so I won't have the mic on when just listening to music or playing a non/ mic game.
2. Do you guys recommend this mic for using on a conference call? I occasionally will work from home and join a business conference call from and I often times am speaking or presenting during these. Thanks.
The ModMic uses an adhesive base clasp, which is meant stay on when the ModMic is not in use. It's very small and should not affect your use of headphones when you do not want the mic. The Mic its self stays on with a very strong neodymium magnet. When you're done with the mic you can just pop it off. As Yakov said, you'll want to be careful with how you arrange the cable management if you take it off frequently. A single cable clip may be all you want to use, or none at all.
As far as conference calls: ModMics are now being used for a variety of small and medium size business, as well as one very large business (A very famous game developer that I don't yet have permission to say they are using our stuff). So, it should work great! They're also used in the corporate office of Discord and Valve by some folks, which is pretty cool :)
Also, you can wash the pads in warm soapy water and re-stick them. They lose some of their stickiness, but you can add several months or more to the life of a pad by doing so. Give it a try!
