So yes, I tested this both as a streaming device AND for my meetings. In both instances, everybody told me that it sounded like I was in the room with them (Even without them using fancy speakers)

As you can see I put a pop filter on it and stuck it on a boom stand. It brings an internal pop filter but better safe than sorry! I absolutely love the 1 touch for the mute, during meetings I no longer have to click mute on my Zoom or Google Meet calls, I just tap the top of mic and boom, done!

The sound truly comes through incredibly well and the color is fantastic (If you are all about RGB and MUST have RGB then go for the Quadcast S, if you could care less then get this as they are literally the same mic but without RGB, This one glows red)

Overall I am absolutely elated with joy at this mic. Try it for yourself, try it for meetings, someone on your team will say wow, you sound clear! Keep in mind, I have a Logitech Stream cam with the "Dual Mics" and it never achieved this level of clearness, just saying.

I tested this bad boy out in Discord and it sounded a bit scuffed at first.

However, that was when I tested it by myself, meaning I had a weird setup of two devices trying to listen to myself through the mic but not from myself (I know, it's very weird). At this point I gave up on it and felt utterly disappointed since I saw so many good reviews on it and the tests of it on YouTube from others sounded amazing.

I'll keep it short. I hopped on a call with other people (my friends) and simply greeted them. Instantly, they were surprised as I used to use a poopy headphone mic. They started simping over my voice and the sound quality.

Very awkward moment but at the same time I had the biggest smile on my face since this reassured that I did not waste my money.

TLDR- This is a really great mic for gaming, streaming, and general usage, it may not hold up to music studio recording standards but could work for beginners.

Included in box- Packaging is well put together, included is the mic, the shock mount, a base to set directly on a desk surface, a USB cable, an adapter for different sized threads on swing arm mounts and manuals and warranty information.

Materials/ build quality- The build of the mic feels pretty premium, i haven't found any shortcomings after nearly a year of use. The microphone cylinder is metal and the holes cut into it don't have any sharp edges. The top where you mute the mic and the bottom gain control knob feel like they are made of plastic and coated in a soft rubber. They can be a fingerprint magnet but can be cleaned easily. The bungees that hold the microphone in place are sturdy and do not let the microphone sag, the microphone is not perfectly centered if you look closely but it has no affect on the overall product. The included base is made of the same black coated metal and is very solid. It has a rubber ring around the bottom that keeps it from sliding or being rough on your desk surface.

Functionality- The microphone works great for every application I have used it for, the setup is very straight forward and it has performed without fail

Good- The sound quality is a large improvement from a headset or webcam mic, construction is very good quality, the setup is plug n' play and painless

Bad- The light inside this mic is very bright and a bit obnoxious, could clash with RGB setups unless you get the new quadcast S. It would be a nice option to adjust the brightness or be able to turn it off all together.

Recommendation- I would definitely buy this microphone, if you care about RGB I would go with the newer quadcast S. The sound quality increase is worth the price to me for creating youtube videos, streaming and voice calls/meetings in general.

I got this for the wife recently, she had been using a camera mic forever, and I got tired of trying to understand her in discord when were gaming lol. I'm like say that again, huh, what was that?

I saw this on a few reviews, and it looked cool, didn't need a interface or full get up to get it going. Plugged it in, and she was so much more crisp and clear in discord.

Setup was easy, not much to do really. We have several cats, and they haven't knocked the mic over once on its standard stand it comes with, its very sturdy. The red color is nice, and the mute button on it works fine for us, although others have said it was a issue.

Great purchase, and working as intended. No packaging or setup issues.

A huge upgrade from any product from Blue, whether it be the Yeti or Snowball, HyperX has proven that they can hang with the big boys of USB microphones. This microphone has all the features you could need for a midrange or even high end setup. It features 4 different audio capture options, including cardioid, stereo, mono, and bi-directional, the lattermost being great for podcasting/1 on 1 interviews. The stand is made out of metal and very stable, so this microphone isn't going to fall over at any point. Very easy to mute and unmute by simply tapping the top like you would any touchscreen, and the red LEDs giving a clear indication that it is unmuted.

The sound quality itself is exceptional, very clear and doesn't produce very much USB noise. The microphone has some noise cancellation through the foam in the main chassis, but an additional pop filter is recommended for more noise reduction. It's also very easy to adjust the gain with the slider on the bottom to control the volume of your voice. The microphone also has a line out audio jack that is great for monitoring, and even works well as an external sound card for a laptop or other device in a pinch. No software is needed to get the most out of this microphone, which is very welcome.

This is overall one of the best microphones you can get around the $100 range that is from a reputable brand, and has given me no issues and only worked exactly as needed for well over 2 years now. Recommended to anyone looking to do light to heavy amounts of gaming or content creation.
