BenchmarkReviews.com: The BoomPro Microphone (model# C-BP-Black) from V-MODA is creative yet simple. It’s one of those products that begs the question: Why hasn’t this been invented already? A 200 cm headphone extension cable with a built in boom microphone – It’s ingenious. The BoomPro Microphone converts your regular or studio headphones (with 3.5mm jack input) into a headset for gaming, communication and recording. Benchmark Reviews has seen many novel accessories and quite a lot of gimmicks in the technology news stream, but this one caught our eye. For $30 you can’t really do much wrong.
The V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless is a great all-around set of headphones that check all the boxes for the gamer audio lovers out there.
After 12 years of being a private, family-owned business, headphone manufacturer V-Moda is being acquired by Roland — another company with deep roots in music electronics. Roland is buying a 70 percent stake, leaving 30 percent ownership with V-Moda founder Val Kolton.
"The Crossfade Wireless are competent wireless headphones that excel in the fundamentals, with bass-heavy sound and acceptable battery life being its strengths. Though its low points aren't enough to disqualify a recommendation, there are better options out there."
