    A little complicated to figure out it’s interface. But once you learn how to calibrate it, it’s a great price of tech. I use it for gaming with friends. Great buy.

    Obviously can't compare to XLR mics in the same price range, but the WaveLink software more than makes up for the sound quality difference with convenience for streamers.
