    Good hardware. Bad Software.

    While the hardware side of this is fantastic but the software is absolutely confusing. If using this with something like OBS, the sources get all messed up. Wave:3 is something that I wouldn't recommend due to the fact that you don't have the option to use it without also using the Elgato software.

      Hi,

      Elgato's Wave Link software is not required to use the Wave:3, but recommended in order to fully utilize its features and customization. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you require assistance or have any questions, we'd be more than happy to help out: support.elgato.com

    But nothing special. I tried this vs my audiotechnica xlr mic and honestly didnt see anything special about having this compared to the xlr. It's good but nothing that makes it a must have. Build quality was subpar for its price.

      Hi Sasquatch33,

      Sorry to hear, are you able to connect directly to a USB port on your system? This would also provide you with the best performance for the Wave 3 microphone. If you have further issues, please reach out to our support team so we can work with you directly: support.elgato.com

    The mic is great, BUT The Elgato Wavelink Software is so unusable, and frustrating to use. It interferes with your settings every time you power your pc on.

    AVOID ELGATO AT ALL COSTS

    I was torn between this and the HyperX, but the Wave Link software pushed me into buying this. Unfortunately, the software didn't work right - I had an echo whenever I tried using it. Their customer service and technical support were useless and took ~weeks~ to respond, and it was ridiculous things like, "rename your folder" or "make sure your Windows is repaired" (it's a brand new machine!). In the end, nothing worked, and when I asked to return it, they said, "Not our problem - take it back to the store." DO NOT BUY ELGATO PRODUCTS! Try anything else - Logitech, Razer, Blue, HyperX. But if you want peripherals that actually work, with legitimate customer service and support? AVOID ELGATO AT ALL COSTS.
