Soundbrenner Wave can work with a microphone, but only if you add the optional Wave microphone cable. The standard Wave package does not include an inline mic.
What you get by default
Wave is built as a wired in-ear monitor setup focused on wired sound quality, zero-latency listening, and passive isolation. That is why the standard version ships without a mic cable.
How to add a microphone
If you want voice chat or phone calls through Wave, you can swap the standard cable for the Wave microphone cable (sold separately). It is an easy way to add an inline mic without changing the earphones themselves.
Why the microphone is optional
- Not everyone needs a mic on wired IEMs. Many players use Wave for practice, rehearsal, or focused listening where a microphone is unnecessary.
- Some setups already have a mic. Gamers and streamers often use a dedicated desktop or boom mic and prefer a clean listening cable.
- Flexibility. Keeping the mic cable separate lets you choose the right cable for the situation instead of locking everyone into a single configuration.
Who should get the microphone cable
- Gamers who want voice chat while keeping the isolation and comfort of IEMs instead of switching to a full headset.
- Anyone who wants to take calls using Wave.
- People who want both options and like switching between a pure listening cable and a mic cable depending on where they are.
Bottom line
- Can Wave have a microphone? Yes, with the optional Wave microphone cable.
- Is a microphone included by default? No, the standard version does not include a mic cable.
