    This is an incredible product with impeccable sound quality. As a voice actor who always needs to switch up their voice, it can pick up even the highest pitches and no background noise is heard whatsoever.

    I waited months for the mic based on the early reviews and I may have set my expectations too high. It's a good mic, the master piece is the software that come with it (but Voicemeeter is doing the same job for free). Mostly made in plastic (except the base) it may look cheap for some people (This part didn't really bother me). The audio of the mic itself is not as good as the Yeti X for a similar price tag. I played for days with the settings and never met the voice quality of the Yeti X so I am returning the Wave 3 while keeping the Yeti X.

    I have had this mic for a couple of months and the sound quality is amazing for streaming and just chatting. You can also use this for podcasts and when paired with the Elgato free software, it has a lot of options you can tune the mic to your liking.

    This is my first Mic. The sound is quality when I listen to playbacks of my voice sound great. I watched a video on the setup which I'd recommend for first timers like myself. The mic has some nice features that I appreciate.

    The only issues I've faced with this microphone is an issue with the amount of USB devices I have connected to my computer. That aside, the sound quality here is unmatched and the built-in monitoring has solved a problem I've had for over a year with wanting to use my headset on one PC while monitoring the microphone that is plugged into another. Can't recommend enough.

    Overall, this microphone has some great features and amazing mic quality. I havent been able to wrap my head around all of its features, especially the ones that arent related to the mic gain and all of that. But as a mic I bought to use on discord and within the games I play, its amazing. I highly recommend it, even if I can't explain all of the 'streamer' additions they put onto it.

    Excellent sound quality at this price point, very competitive with the Hyper X lineup. Listen to some microphone tests on YouTube if you want an in depth comparison of how it fairs against other products, but I would personally put this above blue yeti products. On a side note; the headphone jack coming out of the back of this thing makes my headphones louder. Super odd but very very convenient.
