Custom One Pro amp/inline mic for PS4 Q?

[Bdawson72]

I hope this subject hasn't been beaten up over and over again. BUT, I haven't been able to find any info in regards to my specific application.


I have a pair of Beyerdynamic Custom One Pros and an Vmoda boom mic that I use inline to game with. The audio sounded great, but wasn't loud enough.

I purchased a Fiio E3 to amplify the sound and it actually works pretty well. But, when the inline mic us attached the audio is substantially more quiet and the voice chat doesn't work.

Is there any product like the e3 that can boost my audio signal while still allowing voice chat capability on the Ps4?

Got a pair of C1 PRO+ myself with an Antlion ModMic and a FiiO E11. The only way I've found is to set it up like this:
Headphones -> Amp -> Sennheiser PCV-05 headphone in -> PS4
Microphone -> Sennheiser PCV-05 microphone in -> PS4

Audio is much louder and voice is available. I'm specifically using the Sennheiser one because anything else I tried didn't work...

The mod mic isn't an inline mic is it? If so maybe I need to do more research into the sennheiser. Hopefully this doesn't end up costing as much as a pair of astro a40 lol.

Nope, the mod-mic is a standalone mic (my fault; I though the VModa was the same way).
Since yours is inline, I'm not entirely sure how you would make that function without losing voice capabilities :/

You might still be able to do it with a PCV-05 adapter, but with the mic being inline, it might not be that easy, nor comfortable.
The weird thing about the adapter is that it's just a common "Y-cable" (headphone and microphone in, 4-position plug out), but any other adapter I tried besides the Sennheiser either introduced static or stopped working if I moved the cables...
Pretty much the only reason why I'm specifically advising to use that one, as there are plenty of equal solutions that are also cheaper and easier to obtain
