    For the price this is a really good mic. There’s lots of adjustments you make tweak in the software to make it absolutely perfect and if you are in the el gato ecosystem and own the stream deck you get even more functionality. The best part is probably the built in headphone jack so you really only need 1 cable going to the computer. With the software you can also change volumes per application as well as the traditional universal volume for both the headphones you plug in or the microphone.

    Great mic even for casual gamers. I have a hifi headset with no mic so this is a great addition to my setup. Download Nvidia Broadcast and you should be set.

    Definitely one of the best USB microphones on the market. Great software with a ton of customization and convenient physical controls. An absolute pick up if it's on a $40 sale, which it is often, or even get the Wave 1 if you have a tighter budget just for the software.

    the software that comes with has some audio issue and i think my cable has some issue as well as i occasionally get bouts of robot voice, but otherwise its a really nice mic. its solid and neat-looking, doesn't pick up background noise and clipguard is wonderful. i saw complaints about the cheap plastic build quality but honestly it's fine. the capacitive touch mute button is fantastic.

    sounds good, looks good, feels good.. It also comes with software that you can control some light audio features with. support has been great. I did notice a little problem with it (memory leak), but other then that, it does its job on zoom calls. I ALWAYS receive compliments on it for our video calls. (That's why I got it) It makes you look professional.

    The mic itself is great and the wave link software is robust. Sound Quality is good and being able to add noise cancelation helps as well.

    Before buying the Elgato - Wave: 3, I was using my laptop built-in microphone. As soon as I plugged in the Wave:3, my streams sounded so much better. My viewers could instantly tell a difference. I love the microphone mute feature as well. I also have a really noisy ceiling fan and this microphone has helped conceal that sound. I was amazed by that.
