Reddit reviews Clip-on Microphone

What part is dying on his headphones? E.g. The headphones themselves, the cable, something else every time?

I would recommend getting something with replaceable parts. In my experience it's usually just the cable that breaks after a few years of intense use. Also, the earpads may go bad after a couple more years.
I have very good experience with Sennheiser products so I did have a quick search for headphones with replacable cables / earpads and a mic if possible. It looks like the Sennheiser HD461 or HD 471 might be just what you're looking for.


However, personally I would recommend against using a headset with a built-in mic and using a separate headset and mic instead. The reason for this is pretty simple: Almost every part on a quality headphone can be replaced and you can get a decent clip-on microphone dirt cheap.

Example: A bit over 15 years ago I bought a Sennheiser HD500 and this microphone. While the microphone died last year, the headphones are still in use by my sister. The cable has been replaced once or twice, the earpads once I think.
I've upgraded to a Sennheiser HD600 eight years ago and in that time have replaced the cable twice (I drag it around a lot, am not careful enough, I know...), it's still the best headphone I've ever had. When my mic died after 14 years of use I've 'upgraded' to this one, it's pretty ridiculous how cheap it is for such a quality mic.

Back when I was looking for a Headphone+mic combo, people recommended the Zalman and the Koenig.
I eventually went with the Zalman.

I would rcommend also buying the cheapest notebook light You can find, cut off the USB connector and tape the cable around it. This way you can put it around your neck and due to the flexibilty of the lamp adjust the mic better to your mouth.

^This is of course not mandatory, you could simply clip it at the headphone cable ;)

For me this just worked fine:
You need a Y-cable to connect it to DS4 Controller like this one > https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00E4DHO44/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Furthermore you need an external microphone to connect in that red mic input from above. İ bought this one and it's quality is very good > https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B000WGW96K/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

In the green input you must connect your Headset with original cable.

In PS4-devices setting you must set the audio options from 'Chat audio' to 'Full audio'.

So you can not use the integrated microphones form Bose QC35, but İ think this is a cheap workaround.

For bluetooth use I just gonna try an Optical out bluetooth adapter or something like that. Stay tuned.

From my experience the König CMP-MIC8 sounds better anyway and costs a whopping 4,99€. The Zalman is a bit tinny, while the König sounds bassy. Imo the latter is more pleasant: https://smile.amazon.de/K%C3%B6nig-CMP-MIC8-Mikrofon-Mikrofone-verkabelt/dp/B000WGW96K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486469038&sr=8-1&keywords=koenig+mic
