Customer Ratings & Reviews

Software is a bit of a pain in the butt to work with, but microphone sounds great and looks great once you get it down. Returned because I was able to get my old mic working again, but otherwise would have kept it.

Considering all the options for podcast and gaming microphones out there, we really appreciated all the personal suggestions from Best Buy workers. This mic is fantastic and the app allows for infinite amount of adjustments for different situations and for achieving perfect sound. We feel like the extra money was worth the quality.

I bought this after going back and forth on buying an xlr condenser mic. I have a mediocre usb audio interface and didn't like the idea of buying a microphone and a cloud lifter so I started looking at this. I have to say I am very pleased with it. The sound quality is great, but I wish the software allowed you to apply VST effects. Since the most recent update, I haven't had much issue with the software, but initially it did feel a little buggy.

If you're looking for an awesome mic without having to purchase a mixer, this is the mic to have. You can individually adjust game, music, voice chat, and so much more just from the click of a button. It works even better if you have a StreamDeck. You can't go wrong with this microphone.

Great all around microphone. Whether you are recording audio for a podcast, streaming, or work the quality always comes out great. The sound dial and mute button make this very easy to use with other applications like Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

Enjoying the mic so far! The software seems like it can be tuned quite a lot which is nice. Just been using it for a week or so.but friends tell me it is much more clear.

Genuinely shocked how good this performs. The mixer program is also very easy and intuitive. Everyone I chat with noticed a huge difference (for the better) when I switched from a Blue Yeti. This thing is really sweet especially for the price.

Upgraded from a Hyper X Solocast and notice the difference right away. This is the best USB mic for streaming or just all around content creation. If you want a great mic and can afford it, you should look no further than this one

I LOVE THIS MIC!!! it took a while to get but well worth it. I was using my steelseries arctic 7 for a while and when i switch the mic to the elgato, my friends notice a really big difference in a good way! If you can get a hold of this product you should! you won't be mad =).

The Elgato - Wave 3 is an amazing microphone. I use it for recording how-to videos at work, Zoom calls, and as my main mic for gaming. The sound quality has blown away my expectations.

Honestly, it’s crazy to think that a simple mic could improve my voice quality and overall recording experience. I no longer have to worry about the background noise due to my AC or fan, or voices in the background as well. It all melted away the moment this mic turns on. I definitely recommend getting it.

Great microphone! And the software that comes with the microphone makes editing your sound mix so easy. Elgato made a great product with this.

I love this mic! I have had numerous mics but this one looks good, feels durable, and has amazing sohnd quality. The software is also a life changer!

I do youtube and twitch and this was a very good investment i was using my headset mic and bought this and the quality is 10x better

best mic i have used specially for the money buy the shock mount and pop filter and your set up in perfect and sounds great.

Wave:3 microphone makes a huge difference. I tested it through Zoom with a person on the other end with just the computer microphone or the Elgato Wave:3. Easy call from the other end that my sound was clearer and more distinct than without. Highly recommend.

The control of your audio that you get BUILT IN to the mic itself and the software they provide just cant be beat. I used a Blue Yeti before (which is still a great choice) however I cannot be happier with the switch; having everything in one place is super convenient.

Sounds quality is great. Only downside is that my mic won’t turn fully off. Not sure if that’s how the mic is or if it’s a problem on my side

Probably one of the best usb mics thats out there for streaming and podcast! Add the Stream deck and the wave xlr and so many options become available! If you dont have to money to spend on a xlr setup this is the way to go!

Great sound and control on the mic! If you plan to use the elgato wave software, you might run into some trouble, but if you know a little trouble shooting… you should be fine.
