StatusKuoA few weeks after this review, the adhesive backing failed completely. I scored the plastic with a utility knife and superglued the microphone directly to the patch of plastic "velcro". No problem since then. I do really wish this game with some kind of cable management clips though.

The Good: The audio quality is good. After some fiddling, I found that the microphone does NOT require any software boost (would cause clipping otherwise). Cable is super long, so you will definitely have more than you need. The microphone is directional, so if you squish the foam mic cover and position it properly, you'll have very few issues with noise. Mounting system installation is simple and easy to install. Lightweight.
The Bad: No cable management clips included. The weight of the cable and the microphone can easily overpower the strength of the tiny circle of 3M dual lock fasteners. It would probably work just fine if the patch of "plastic velcro" was twice the size. No cable management also means that the mute switch can bounce around and cause noise to travel up the wire and into your mic. Simply solved with some small wire ties
The Ugly: I was worried about the adhesive patch sticking to the metal mesh of my ATH-AD700X's, but that hasn't been a problem. The adhesive on the patch of 3M plastic velcro has been coming apart from the microphone side itself and needs to be smushed back on often.
tldr: Great audio quality on the mic without needing boost. Mic is directional, squish the foam and point it in the right direction. Cable is super long. 3M dual lock fasteners are meh, the adhesive backing is even worse..
