Enhanced Features OMBRA v2: Microphone Compatibility
Discover the latest advancements in gaming technology with the OMBRA v2 Gaming Soundproof Mask. With the v2 we've integrated cutting-edge features to elevate your gaming experience.
v2? Since last month we are shipping an upgraded version of the OMBRA with injected molded parts, earphones, and a few more. In this post we want to highlight some points about the microphone:
Enhanced Clear Communication: the mask features a built-in microphone or it can be used with your own headset flexible mic. The improved built-in microphone specifically adapted for use inside the mask, modifying the deep sound because of the enclosed space. This ensures clear communication even in intense gaming sessions.
The built-in mic is magnetically attached to the mask microphone port. It can be plugged directly to your headset if you have the option, or to an audio cable (included). Don't forget to choose the correct mic side for your headset ;)
Improved Headset Compatibility: The mask is compatible with your own headset, allowing you to use a flexible mic for greater convenience and versatility. This enhancement ensures seamless integration with the headset you love, delivering a superior audio experience.
The headset mic just needs to be flexible so that it can be introduced into the detachable box, as shown in the picture:
Magnetic connection upgrade: In the past, the magnetic connection in the microphone port was a bit too weak. Now it is upgraded with more powerful magnets in the microphone port to prevent disconnections and ensure easy setup and secure attachment.
Earphones included: We know that some of you like to use earbuds when playing. The mask now includes good quality cabled earphones ready to use with the mask. A splitter and audio extension cable is also included in the package.

Stay connected, stay ahead, and immerse yourself in the ultimate gaming experience with OMBRA!

Hi Dave, based on the connection types, the OMBRA should work with the Astro A40 + MixAmp setup, as both use standard 3.5 mm audio connections. You can either route your Astro A40 microphone into the mask or use the OMBRA’s built-in microphone. However, please note that we haven’t specifically tested this combination ourselves, so this is based on the hardware specifications rather than hands-on testing.
Also, please note that the OMBRA has been discontinued.
The newer VEKTA mask physically fits with the Astro A40, but it uses its own USB microphone instead of a 3.5 mm connection. On PC, you can typically use the Astro MixAmp for audio output and VEKTA as the microphone by selecting them separately in your audio settings. We haven’t specifically tested this setup with the MixAmp, but that’s how we would expect it to work based on the devices involved.
Hi Brady, the OMBRA generally fits over most over-ear gaming headsets, but as the OMBRA has been discontinued, we haven’t specifically tested it with the Razer Barracuda lineup.
We’d recommend comparing your headset dimensions with the OMBRA technical specifications listed on this page: https://metadox.pro/products/ombra-soundproof-mask#:~:text=Tech-,Specs
We have since released the VEKTA, our newer-generation soundproof mask.
Does it work with razor barracudas?
is this compatible with Astros 40s mixamp
