Massdrop Minimic

Modular microphones have become popular in recent years for a few reasons. For one, they allow you to use your audiophile headphones as a gaming headset, making the transition from music to in-game sounds as smooth as possible. They’re also relatively inexpensive and much less obtrusive than buying a microphone on a boom arm. But with the modular microphone gaining traction, a few key flaws have raised concerns for hardcore gamers and music devotees alike. Enter the Massdrop Minimic. Constructed with a durable aluminum body, a modular cable, 3M dual lock fasteners, and a toggle mute switch, it’s got all the features you need—for less than half the price of the competition.

Most modular microphones on the market are made with cheap plastic. We made ours with aluminum instead, giving you a long-lasting build that’s just as adjustable as the competition. Second, one of the main gripes about modular microphones is having to replace the entire microphone if the cable breaks or fails. Not the case with Massdrop Minimic. If you ever break the detachable cable, all you need to do is pop in a new one and it’s as good as new. We also made attaching the mic even easier. With the 3M dual lock fasteners it’s even more modular, allowing you to place it, move it, and adjust it with ease. And of course—as gamers ourselves—we understand the importance of a good mic in the heat of battle. That’s why the Massdrop Minimic offers crystal-clear audio output, too.
