Why does my microphone sound so far away? Why is my microphone not as “good quality” as my older Afterglow headset?

This headset has a boomless microphone. The microphone in the Fener/Nur is comparable to the Sony Gold series boomless microphone headset. To receive the audio clarity of the original Afterglow headset, I recommend purchasing the Afterglow Kral headset, with a boom microphone.
