[Filipe Lopes]

Hi

Since last year I have been using BOSE QC25 with ModMic 4.0, very cool no
problems what-so-ever.

> - attachment of the magnets is very straightforward on the QC15 ear shell
> and the boom lines up nicely in the correct position
> - good TX sound quality - no doubt can be refined with K3 EQ adjustment,

> - as mentioned in the YouTube link you provided, having two cables

> a big deal and not needed on every remove/replace cycle.
> I'd taken the QC15s to Niue as I like noise cancelling on a multistation
> DXpedition (or contest) for CW.  Being able to use them also for SSB was a
> nice bonus.
> Overall the ModMic 4.0 is a keeper.  Solutions that have a neater cable

> $250+ for the boom mic add on from there.  The ModMic is great value for
> money.
> No connection with the company, etc.
