Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's a lot more complicated than it may initially appear. The craftsmanship is fantastic and the sound quality is equally as good. Being new to the non-headset microphone crowd with this purchase, I will say it's a little overwhelming to first use the Elgato Wave Link software. If you're new to microphones, and have a GeForce RTX card, I highly suggest trying out the Nvidia Broadcast software with the Elgato. Works great to completely eliminate the mechanical keyboard clicky sounds getting picked up by the microphone. Also suggest invested in a boom arm, such as the Rode PSA1 (this does require the shock mount, too, to meet minimum weight requirements also the boom arm springs back up). All-in-all, I'm very happy with the sound quality and ease of use... outside of the Wave Link software for the newcomers to the space.

Bought this to go with the rest of the Elgato video set up. Fantastic sound pick up, great quality, def recommend.

Simply put, it’s a fantastic microphone and the Wavelink software is excellent for streaming. The ability to add different sound sources into the microphone signal was so quick and simple. Not to mention the audio quality was great

This USB condenser microphone is great for starters who are trying to start streaming. Has a great audio quality for the buck as long as there is not too much of background audio. For myself I have a 8000 BTU AC in my room and produces a lot a background audio and I was still able to get great audio by paring it with RTX Voice (which reduces background noise, but ha e to be little carefull with noise suppression %, too much suppression gives you muffled audio). Overall, great work by Elgato. My main reason for getting this mic was their software compatibility feature of routing audio. You could achieve same thing by mix of multiple software but its always too much work and you still don't get as much control as Wavelink (Audio Software for Wave:1 and Wave:3) provides. Would highly recommend as long as your setup doesn't have too much background noise

Great mic. The software is what makes this the best budget option for content creators. So easy to use. The only issue I have is that I adjust the channels for certain games every time I open it. But I don't think that's the mic's fault.

This is the best microphone you can buy at a reasonable price hands down. Blue yeti has NOTHING on this. GET THIS MIC! Then go to YouTube and look for videos about plugins you can get for it.

Currently the best USB microphone out there. The reason is for the absolutely great software that makes this a gamer and streamer's dream mic. If you can get it on sale then do not hesitate it's simply an amazing mic.

I’ve had every type of microphone from $50-$2500 and this little guy right here if your looking to stream it’s close to perfect…zero complaints … one of the sleeker looking ones too I’d recommend to anyone

Amazing sound quality and easy to use, noticed an immediate difference from the old mic i had

I initially bought a yeti snowball mic but it lacked features and of course the sound quality was as good as this mic. This mic has TONS of features that allow you to be able to have a virtual sound station mix-amp.

Best mic you can get for the price has a good software as well

My first cardioid microphone. I must say, Elgato Wave 3 does provide good sound quality. So easy to setup, plug and play. However, to really get the benefits of this microphone, you should install Wave Link app (Windows or MacOS), right configuration per app is the key to maximizing this mic.

Best microphone i used. I would 100% recommend!!!!

Very good beginner microphone with high-quality and easy to use. Strongly recommend!

Love the mic the software can be confusing with multiple plug-ins but I love build quality and just works great out of the box

Never using another microphone. Nothing can compete with this setup and the included Wave link software. Superb design and superb quality. All my audio needs met with a single purchase. Content creation necessity.

This mic for the price point is at the top of its class in terms of features.. although it needs software and not truly plug n play. You come to find out the software is actually very very useful for streamers

The fact that this microphone is somewhat hard to find in the COVID-era speaks to its quality and popularity. Its a solid, easy to use, high quality microphone that is a permanent fixture in my video-meeting arsenal.

Great sound quality and ease of setup. The online youtube videos are a great tutorial that shows the power features this microphone has to offer.

This mic is so much easier to use than my Blue Yeti. Sounds better and smoother on the mid with my voice, so I'm hoping to use it for recording/streaming as well as game chatting if I don't get to do that.
