Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this microphone work with any headphones?

The V-Moda BoomPro is designed for V-MODA Crossfade series headphones but is also compatible with any headphones that have a removable 3.5mm (1/8") audio cable input. Always check your headphone's specifications.

How do I connect it to my PC?

If your PC has a single combo jack, plug the BoomPro directly in. If it has separate microphone and headphone jacks, use the included Y-adaptor.

Can I use this for phone calls?

Yes, it is compatible with most smartphones and tablets that have a 3.5mm headphone jack, providing a significant upgrade for call quality.

What is the difference between BoomPro and BoomPro X?

The original BoomPro uses an omnidirectional microphone suitable for quieter spaces, while the BoomPro X uses a unidirectional cardioid microphone, making it better for noisy environments as it focuses more on your voice and rejects ambient sound.

Is the cable length adjustable?

The cable length is fixed at 1.9 meters. The boom arm itself is flexible for positioning the microphone close to your mouth.

Does it require its own power source?

No, the microphone is powered via the 3.5mm jack connection from your device.

Can I detach the microphone when not in use?

Yes, the BoomPro microphone is detachable, allowing you to use your headphones for listening only or for portability without the microphone attached.

Troubleshooting

Microphone not detected by the device.

Ensure the BoomPro cable is fully plugged into both the headphones and the device. Use the provided Y-adaptor for computers with separate mic/headphone ports. Test with a different compatible device.

Low microphone volume or poor sound quality.

Check that the in-line volume wheel is not turned down. Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly near your mouth. Verify the correct input jack is used on your device and that the software/system volume is adequate.

Excessive background noise.

Ensure the microphone's unidirectional/cardioid pickup pattern is aimed towards your mouth. Try adjusting the boom mic position to minimize direct pickup of ambient sounds. Confirm noise reduction features are enabled in your device's audio settings if applicable.

Mute button not working.

Check for any physical obstruction on the mute button. Ensure the cable connection is secure. Test the mute function in different applications.

Device requires an adapter for microphone input.

For older gaming consoles like PS3 or original Xbox 360 controllers, a specific third-party adapter may be necessary. Consult your device's manual or manufacturer for compatible adapters.
