Customer Ratings & Reviews

Worked perfect! Easy to get started. Software that comes with was the main reason I bought but the Mic quality seems very good.

Okay, so you’re reading my review because you want to know some stuff, well then, here you go: The mic is just the doorway to El Gato’s free software, Wavelink. Why should you care about Wavelink? Well, the best I can tell you is that you can add additional programs set onto the microphone such as active Noise Cancelling which works wonders and I certify my claim because I got the IETS cooling pad for my ASUS ROG 2023 M16, where the built-in fans and the cooling pad itself reaches over 50 decibels. Why I am highlighting this fact is that my microphone is more-or-less than 6 inches, and elevated thanks to my El Gato boom arm, from my laptop and cooling fan! And even then, the only thing I hear is my sweet melodic voice. A bit of a disclaimer though, the Noise Canceling downloadable program on El Gato’s Marketplace work’s wonders, yes, but if you sit the microphone too far away from your voice it will increase the chances of the program capturing external noise — in my case, my cooling pad —, so I recommend keeping the mic near your face roughly 5-7 inches away from it. As you know because I have it, I strongly recommend purchasing the El Gato’s low-profile Mic Boom Arm — or something similiar in sturdiness and style — in order to comprehend what I am conveying. Moreover, if you do have it but are afraid of accidentally spitting onto the mic itself, buy El Gato’s dedicated Pop Filter to prevent internal contamination — the mic already has a built-in pop filter inside it’s case, but getting the external Pop Filter would be extra protection against you’re audiences’ ears as it makes your voice more crisp and focused. Aside from the Noise Canceling downloadable programs, El Gato’s Marketplace also offers an Equalizer and a Compressor program if you really want to fine tune the output of your voice towards your audience.

The quality on the microphone is a serious step up from what I had before. Of course there are better microphones, but very few that meet this quality at this price.

Great mic and affordable price. My friends complimented on how crisp it sounds during calls.

Highly Recommend this microphone especially if you wanna make videos or just have a good mic in general. I use it for streaming made my streams 10x better.

Fantastic audio quality, and the ability to mix audio sources in a single app that comes with a microphone.

The mic sounds also comes with a digital mixer that you would have to download from the manufacture website! Beware only support 3-4 game capture devices if you playing to set it up with a console. Has awesome cool features like a clip guard. Feels somewhat cheap. Body is plastic.

Great quality , the wave link software that comes with it is user friendly , very simple to use definitely recommend this to anyone that is going to stream or record clips

For the price, the quality of the mic is amazing, and the software is very user friendly if you have a brain, I would buy this again.

Nice, Good mic. I thought that the sound quality even when facing away from it was good.

Was not sure what mic to get to stream and after looking at alot of reviews I decided to get the wave 3 from elgato. It had a great software and the mic sounds good overall and excellent choice and sometimes it drops in price so keep an eye on that.

The mic has great sound quality. The included Wave Link software makes it great for streaming and webcasts or podcasting. The ability to mute the mic soundlessly is great. The three way button controls are easy to use and I've been having a great time with the mic.

This is the best sounding microphone I've owned yet. I use the LP arm from Elgato to have it come under my monitor. It mounts perfectly on there and the cable comes out the back so it's not in the way of the mount. To get the most out of the mic, you need to download the Wave Link application, which lets you route all your audio through it to have better control of what your audience can hear if you record or stream. If you're familiar with VoiceMeeter, it is a simpler version of that. I did run into an issue wiith the Nividia Broadcast plugin. The audio will stutter until you disable the plugin, which is a bummer as I really like filtering out all background noise. The selection of plugins is lacking if you search directly on Elgato's store. You can find more by looking up some videos on how to setup the microphone.

Works great. Sounds good. highly recommend for everyone

The amount of clarity you get from the mic is amazing and the fact that you are able to use wave ink is an extra plus

I love this product because of its multiple functional settings and you can update the software so it's like your small mixer and the sound it very good for the price!

A good, all around easy-to-use microphone. I was able to set it up with my mic crane and computer within a couple of minutes. The sound quality is better than my last microphone (Blue Yeti).

This mic is excellent quality, and comes with fairly easy to use software. I loved it so much that I bought one for my office desk as well.

Easy to setup. Sound quality is good, better than a headset, probably not as good as an xlr mic. The software from Elgato is pretty robust, but takes a bit of getting used to through use and tutorial videos.

It works as well as I hoped. The mic sits between my wife and I and we both can be heard well by others. We use it for on-line gaming and it works perfectly. I have not downloaded any software for it since it worked so well just plug and play.
