Customer Ratings & Reviews

Such a good mic for streaming recommended. Has good software

Sound is great, great microphone. Would definitely recommend.

Sounds great, feels sturdy, software is easy to use and makes setup a breeze.

The Elgato Wave:3 is mostly constructed of plastic. The "U" shaped bracket that holds the microphone to the stand is particularly flimsy and seems like a potential failure point. In contrast, the circular base is made of very heavy metal. The microphone sits sturdy on the desk. The Rode PSA1+ adapts to fit this microphone, however, I felt the USB cord was in an awkward spot that limits the positioning of the microphone. The top mute button is very responsive (when the unit is operational). The microphone audio quality is suitable for this price point. It will certainly exceed the performance of any webcam based microphone. Once installing Elgato's WAVE LINK software, things took a turn for the worse. The installation was simple, however, after installing it, the microphone begin to lock up. The buttons on the microphone would stop functioning and all audio output would stop. I tried multiple USB ports including a USB 3.1 Gen 2. Moving the microphone to a new USB port would resolve the issue shortly, then the microphone would freeze again. I tried reinstalling the software multiple times. I did not configure any extra settings and kept all the defaults following the instructions exactly. My computer is running Windows 11 with an I7-12900 and 32gb DDR4 RAM. After uninstalling the recommended software, the Elgato Wave:3 functioned again as a regular USB microphone without issue. Because my primary driver for purchasing this unit was the software, I returned it. Based on my experience I do not recommend the Elgato Wave:3.

Great quality in the material of the microphone, but the software is on another level, without a doubt the best microphones for podcast or streaming

So easy to hook up and adjust settings! Sound quality is amazing!

Best USB mic on the market. Software allows you to really control how amazing the quality is.

About the best usb mic you’re going to find. Software is helpful. If you’ve ever done any pro recording you’ll find it all a little dumbed down and wanting more from it, but this isn’t a 3-400.00 xlr mic and mixing board. You get what you pay for, good value here.

100% recomended voice can be heard clearly and super easy to use

For a streamer this microphone is really good, the quality is similar to some of the yeti microphones but with the software with it, it makes streaming a lot easier

Excellent sound quality. Great price. Wave Link software is great for configuring sound settings and adding other sources of audio.

So easy to set up and sound quality is great! Have gotten really good feedback from listeners who heard me speak on my old mic and this new one.

Excellent quality mic. Wave Link software really compliments it and makes the mic work great for streaming, recording, etc.

Very good microphone and very easy to set up. No background noise and the options to change settings is amazing no matter your surroundings.

I did a decent bit of research to find a good mic and ultimately settled on this one. Its sound quality is amazing and can help to cancel out some of the background noise without even using the software. With the software, you can do so much with this mic like setting it to only capture at certain audio levels and hearing real time feedback. It also can be muted directly from the mic itself. It isn't always the easiest to use, but after learning all of its functions and features, it is the best mic I have ever used.

this mic is very good and easy to use, the software is great and it sounds amazing, everything is very high quality! im very pleased with this product.

The additional wave link software makes it really easy to setup and use this microphone. Its also very useful to forward application audio into zoom calls.

Excellent mic for streaming, video/voice chatting, podcasts and general use. 3 optional modes to control individual audio settings with the press of a button. I upgraded from a blue snowball mic that served well for 4 years and the Elgato wave 3 mic was well worth the wait because I get the professional sound quality that I have always wanted <3 It takes a while to understand how to use the wavelink program that comes with the mic, but to be able to adjust what you hear and what others hear from your audio is a gift and worth it! Definitely recommend it!

So far I am quite impressed. Good sound. Easy set up. I did my research and for podcast this was a very good solution. I would recommend.

Works really well! Very sleek design and elgato's customer support is really good if you ever need any help. Great mic for the price!
