The AULA A500's hidden boom mic is live when flipped down and muted when flipped up, so you can see if you are heard. It also rotates closer to your mouth for clearer pickup on calls and in games. Evetech lists the A500, black, on a 1-year local warranty.
The worst moment on any call is realising you were not muted when you thought you were, or were muted when you thought you were talking. Software mute buttons hide that state behind an icon. The AULA A500 makes it physical: a hidden boom mic that is live when flipped down and muted when flipped up. This flip to mute mic design is simple, and it changes how confidently you can talk on calls and in games.
The AULA A500's hidden boom mic is live when you flip it down and muted when you flip it up, so you can see at a glance whether you are being heard. It also rotates closer to your mouth for clearer voice pickup on calls and in games. When not in use, it tucks away into the headset. Evetech lists the A500 at R639.
The rule is easy to remember: mic down, you are talking; mic up, you are muted. There is no button to press and no icon to check. The position of the boom tells you everything.
That is useful in two ways. You can mute instantly by flicking the mic up, and anyone looking at you can see whether you are on mic too, which helps in a shared room or an office.
The boom is hidden. When you flip it up to mute, it tucks away into the headset, so the A500 looks like a normal pair of headphones when you are just listening. That makes it easy to wear in public or on the move.
The mic rotates, so you can bring it closer to your mouth. A mic positioned near the corner of your mouth picks up your voice more clearly and relative to background noise than one sitting further away. A couple of habits help:
AULA lists the mic sensitivity at -38dB +/-1dB.
For meetings, the flip mute gives you a quick, reliable way to cut your mic when you are not speaking. For Microsoft Teams users, AULA says a press of the ANC key accepts the call, and the multi-function button handles calls, play and pause, tracks and volume.
On a PC with the 2.4GHz receiver, choose "A500" as both the output and input device in your sound settings so apps use its mic.
In games, fast muting matters. Someone walks into the room, a dog barks, or you need to say something off-mic. Flicking the boom up is faster than finding a key or a menu, and you do not have to take your hand off the mouse for long.
The A500 connects to phones over Bluetooth 5.4, with about 10m of range, so you can take voice calls from your phone as well. The same flip rule applies.
Evetech carries the A500 in black. Compare it with other mic-equipped options across the gaming headsets range, or see the wireless headset page for cable-free picks. The headset is supported by Evetech under a 1 Year Local Warranty.
