The Mod Mic I ordered turned up a few days ago in an excellent tube packaging with personalized message (see pics). I'm very impressed with the level of service received and the quality of the mic itself appears to be damned good!
I started this thread because I thought someone might be interested in my setup. I've married the Sennheiser HD25 1-ii's up with the Mod Mic and used the lost art of Cable Lacing to "stitch" the mic cable up with the headphone cable into one neat package. This is a fairly permanent setup, the Mod Mic can be removed from the magnetic clasp but thats about it unless I cut the Cable Lacing up. I used strong black cotton to lace the cables up so it's barely visible, but also doesn't add any bulk to the cables. You do get an epic length of cable with the Mod Mic, so much so that I have had to wrap the end up using the velcro strap (provided). This is quite useful and doesn't limit me to needing a microphone socket near the headphone socket
The aim was to stick both cables together without cutting/modding/breaking anything....I'd very much like the option of removing the mic if I ever needed to without destroying the cable to the HD25's or the mic.
A few useful links on Cable Lacing for those that don't know/remember what it is:
