Microphone for HD25’s

I’ve been googling for a bit and decided that I can’t be the only one of the planet wanting this.

I’ve seen various shots on the web, and on the TV, of people with mic’s added to their HD25’s (mark II).

Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to get these parts, or alternatively, a link to modding the headphones using unofficial mics.

Do you mean this mic or the iPhone type mic?

HDM-25 is what your looking for…

We use them in work for talkback…they arent cheap either

4

the new model of hd25, amperior have mic.

5

Have you tried just plugging them into a 1/4" Mic jack?

I guess he’d like to use the mic as he listen to some audio, not using the membrane of the headphones as a mic (that sounds crap, really, but that’s a good emergency mic @ a gig)

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Just to clarify, I was hoping for a mic to add onto an existing HD25, but I’m guessing you have to buy the HDM25 ?
I have seen one blog where someone added a mic to an existing HD25 but the instructions weren’t very clear.

Maybe its time for a DIY challenge!

Oh, as an update to this thread, found a guy trying exactly what i wanted to do, but seems the parts to do it are basically the same price as buying an entire headset…

So, DIY option it is!

And finally!

Just bought one myself. Sick of not having both hands free and can’t usually be arsed to set up the mic stand. Hope the sound quality stands up

Not to rain on your parade,

Pretty sure this will be near useless in a gig both in quality and feedback.

Shure, Sennheiser and Audio-Technica among others do a few really good headset boom Mics that would work much better for dj’ing with a lil modding…and possibly a small battery pack.

If anyone is interested, I have a pair with an official boom mic that I was about to return, as I ordered the version without the mic from an Amazon reseller. Would be willing to sell. Looks like this:

I was looking for a set of headphones with built-in mic, thanks for the Sennheiser tip! I just had a further look online and now you can get the HMD-26 + HMD-26II.
