HyperX QuadCast S – RGB USB Condenser Microphone for PC, PS5, Mac, Anti-Vibration Shock Mount, 4 Polar Patterns, Pop Filter, Gain Control, Gaming, Streaming, Podcasts, Twitch, YouTube, Discord – White

My Yeti suddenly died after ten years of use, so I needed a replacement. I had been thinking of this mic for a while and this was the time to get it. The ease of use is great; plug and talk! The lights add a great aesthetic to any PC desk and the weight of the item seems very durable. I love the light touch-to-mute and the volume dial on the bottom. There are many modes to catch the perfect vocals for streaming or podcasting. The price wasn’t all that bad either. Definitely recommend to anyone who loves a great quality mic at a reasonable price with a touch of RGB lights.

I’ve used several USB mics before, but the HyperX QuadCast S stands out in every way. The sound quality is crisp, clean, and rich — whether I’m gaming, streaming, or on Zoom calls, everyone notices how clear I sound.The built-in shock mount is a huge bonus and really helps cut down on desk vibrations and bumps. The tap-to-mute feature is super responsive and convenient (plus, the LED turns off when muted, which is a smart touch). The RGB lighting is a nice aesthetic bonus — it looks amazing with my setup and is fully customizable with HyperX’s software.Setup was literally plug-and-play — no drivers needed, and it worked flawlessly on both my PC and Mac. You also get four polar patterns (cardioid, omni, bidirectional, stereo), so it’s versatile for whatever you’re doing.If you want a mic that sounds professional, looks clean, and functions with zero hassle, this one is a no-brainer.

I LOVEEE THIS MIC. i upgraded from a fifine am8 to this and *chefs kiss* it’s so much better quality in my opinion. you do have to tweak it a bit so that it’s not too loud, or you won’t hear your background or whatever which for a mic this price you’d think it came just plug in and ready to go but, still a 10/10.the weight feels very sturdy and high quality. the gain control function is a very good touch it’s very accessible and no worries about accidentally punching your mic. i got it in the color white and im so happy with this choice because it matches my setup so well.overall 10/10, this was my dream mic for the longest time ever although i LOVE it im a bit disappointed with how much tweaking has to be done for it to be the price as i previously stated, i’d just work on a more out the box ready to go option if you’re going to release a mic that’s almost $200. the color white looks so sleek and modern and i’m happy i went with it and compared to my old mic, if im in a call on discord or on stream the sound is very clear and overall good mic and it works!

disclaimer, I’m by no means a professional or an expert, but from a layman’s point of view, this mic is just great. I use my mic for fairly casual stuff — voice chatting in-game, virtual DnD sessions, and work-related zoom calls, mostly. That said, this mic is leaps and bounds above the razer mic I’d been struggling with for years, and at a price that fit into my budget fairly nice. It’s got really crisp audio, and picks up a fair amount more than my old mic did — it’s a blessing and a curse. it picks up the sound of me rolling a handful of dice on my desk, for example, extremely well. unfortunately, it also picks up the sound of our dog barking from all the way outside in the backyard.the software for the mic is easy to set up and adjust, and the dials for adjusting gain and changing the ‘mode’ are a blessing, although i will note the gain dial is very touchy and a bit easy to bump in one direction or another by accident. the built-in mute button is also super convenient, and far easier than having to tab into a separate program and hit a button on my computer.the lights, of course, are very pretty, but also serve as a good indicator for when the mic is live and picking up sound, depending on how you set it up.to sum it all up— the first time I used this mic in a voice call, I was playing minecraft with my friends. Everyone was in agreement that I sounded a lot less staticky and my voice was clearer, but one person asked me if I had a desk fan on and pointed at the mic, because that’s what it sounded like. unfortunately, that was just the noise of my laptop fan kicking in while trying to run minecraft with shaders.it’s a fantastic mic and I really do love it - just be sure to be more mindful about what’s going on around you when you use it, because it can and will pick up far more than you think it will. I don’t think i’m ever going to live down the time my dnd group overheard me baby-talk my pet crayfish while feeding him across the room after i forgot to mute during a break.

Works great RGB looks amazing. Sound quality is great. Gain setting is a little sensitive

The mic is great, I eventually figured out and fixed what I could. However this mic picks up ALOT, especially background fuzz while you’re talking. Something I didn’t experience with my previous mic being a Yeti.Plus the software that is made for the mic is very limited. The RGB stuff is cool. But in terms of messing with your mic sensitivity and noise gates, expansion, etc. They don’t got it. You will have to use third party software to get the job done. I use Voicemeeter for streaming so I can’t really do that. All I got is a Noise Gate and an Echo meter and that’s it. No matter what I do whenever I talk you can still hear that background noise. Not to mention the range to which it picks things up. Without a noise gate and can pick noises up from 10ft away and further. If I was using just one mic for a podcast maybe this would be ok, but it’s super annoying as a Streamer.Now if you don’t plan on using voicemeeter this mic is pretty solid when you customize it via filters on OBS. Which is why I give it 4 stars instead of two. No mic is perfect without some third party tinkering.Lastly, I recommend getting a boom arm because of the hyper sensitivity due to vibrations. Again, this thing picks up EVERYTHING.
