    I came from a similar mic and the software alone for this is amazing. Especially for gamers we tend to yell for a sec and this will keep you from clipping. Elgato got the quality and price on point for this.

    Best Microphone for Streamers, small stand

    I was torn between this microphone and the Hyper X quadcast. In fact, I bought the Quadcast first then saw the Wave3 back in stock and purchased it immediately. The sound quality is superb but the included stand is incredibly short. To get the best quality you need to be 2 fists lengths apart from the front of the mic which is hard with the stand. I ended up buying the shock mount and the pop filter to complete the package. Which was an extra 60-70 to spend. This allowed me to put it on my mic arm. If you don't have a mic arm you need to get the extension rods from Elgato's website. These rods will raise the mic up 2-4 inches. However, if using the shock mount with the rods, it gets a little top heavy. Even with these nuances regarding the accessories, the main seller of this mic is the WaveLink software. I am able to do mixing without a physical mixer and have monitor and stream mixes which make stream EXTREMELY easy. To get Zero-Latency monitoring, you need to use the headphone jack out of the mic, otherwise theres pretty noticeable lag using the software monitoring mix. However the recordings or streams wont hear this either.

    This is one of the most popular microphones on the market and with good reason, mainly because the software used for the mic is very powerful. But the build quality is very nice as well.

    Very good mic, but honestly the only reason I bought it was for the software that allows different levels to be adjusted in real time. One star taken off for having to have the mic plugs in to make the software work.

    Honestly, cant lie this is a pretty good USB mic hell it might be the best USB mic out there, its got good weight, it sounds good and overall is pretty crisp and it fits into the elgato ecosystem that they have set up. The only bad thing and maybe thats because of my inexperience with mics but getting the gain right without having a filter and a arm was pretty challenging but once i got it figured it out it was perfect.

    Picked this mic up as an upgrade for my twitch stream. What a great decision. The sound quality is top notch. Add in the wave link software and this thing can’t be beat for the money.

    This mic is all you need, i have had 2 different mics but this absolutely love it, easy plug and play dont need the software, really does cancel back ground noise and clear your voice when talking, downloading the software allows you to adjust what you listen to on what volume and if your a streamer it will allow you mute the the outputs you dont want others to hear, love it you wont be disappointed, worth every penny

    Great sound, easy to control. When I adjust volume from Zoom, the [volume] LED indicators on the mic reflect the change. Quick mute button on the top is handy as well.

    Mainly got this because I wanted to be able to eat or drink with a headset on without the headset mic getting in the way. I was not disappointed. I was pretty familiar with Corsair products already and since the company acquired Elgato, there is a certain trust I can have with their products. The mic is easy to set up and use. Although I have had some compatible issues (mostly due to the app and not the hardware), this has not disappointed me and I am bound to continue using Elgato products in the future.
