Microphone suggestions for VP2
Hey all,
So I've looked around, found older posts and older videos showing and testing out different microphones as an alternative to the Vive's built in one.
I wanted to reach out though and get some up to date ideas on suggested Microphones that are good quality which you'd recommend as a replacement for using the integrated Vive Pro 2 Microphone?
I've bought a few different lavalier microphones including a usb-c one, and while admittedly cheaper ones than some microphones, they have all been worse than the integrated Vive microphone. I've seen some people use the modmic wireless, but then others say that it doesn't capture low frequencies quite as nicely, and you lose that timbre to your voice that you otherwise get with a better quality microphone.
Can anyone suggest an alternative microphone to use with the VP2? I'm trying to get something that's at LEAST as good as the G2/Index Microphone. Thanks in advance :) Look forward to hearing what different setups people have.

100% get the antlion mod mic wireless. You can get it for around 90$ on eBay and it sounds AMAZING. It’s wireless and just sticks to the side of your headset with the included magnetic clip. It also comes with extra clips so you can use it on other devices too.
Appreciate the recommendation. I listened to some examples again of the Modmic wireless and it definitely does sound better than I expected it to, perhaps I just watched some average reviews prior.
In Australia, looks like that would run me about $200, so at that price range it certainly means that it would open up a lot of competitor microphones so I guess the search goes on. I don't mind if it's wired, because I can just simply connect it to the VP2's USB-C port.
I second the mod mic wireless. I was really surprised with it's quality, and don't even notice it on my headset. It was worth the money for me without question.
Came here to say this. Fantastic mic, especially for wireless.
