    I did a lot of research on this mic and honestly it does not work well with zoom calls. It is always cutting out. If I am doing recordings it is great but the quality for conference calls sucks!

    Broken microphone.

    I was really excited to try out this microphone. I went, unboxed it, and plugged it in when all of a sudden a error popped up. “Usb devicr not reconized” i tried everything to see what was wrong and it turned out to be the mic that was broken. Although the lights on it and eveything else was lighting up, it just wouldnt get reconized by my pc. I tried plugging it in on my laptop and the same error popped up. Turned out to be the microphone was damaged. I expected more from elgato.

      Should be fairly simple to install both hardware and software, with minimal to no background noise. Wave Link software is one of the most complete audio softwares out there, so I'm sure our team can assist, do contact them directly right on our site at any time!

    This mic looks good and from the reviews I have seen also sounds good but in my own home I was not able to get it to sound good. If you want something that is plug and play and doesn't require tinkering or soundproofing your space then I'd look for another mic or type or mic.

    Literally broke immediately. Went to attach the shock mount to the mic stand until my boom arm came in. One rotation in and everything felt wonky, went to unscrew everything, the base snapped off inside the shock mount. Poor quality. 0/10. Would not recommend.

      Hello Jackson,

      We don't list this microphone as compatible with any consoles whatsoever, seems like the review may have been incorrectly left if that's the case. The pictures shown are called "lifestyle" pics and how your system could potentially look if that's what you need/want. The mic is also not compatible with just the monitors, the camera, the stream deck, mouse, keyboard either, but we include them since if you do plug them all in, along with the mic, to a compatible device, then you may start having compatibility across your gameplay, etc... We can clarify information for you if needed, feel free to contact us: support.corsair.com

      Hi Mike,

      Did you have the microphone connected to a USB 3.0 port? The microphone requires USB 3.0 to properly power the microphone. If you're still having issues, please feel free to reach out to our support team: support.corsair.com

    I purchased this microphone with the matching low-profile arm and setup was simple and efficient. The sound quality is good without a pop filter and there are plenty of easy and free resources online to help you set this microphone up in a way that suits your needs.
