    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.

    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.

    Purchased this for my brother in law bc his teammates would complain about his headset mic. Hope he loves it along with the awesome software. I’ve owned one for a few years and love the quality of it.

    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.

    [Employee of bestbuy] This mic is very good for people who want to record VOs or just stream or even hang out with people on discord. Genuinely impressed by the quality and level of customization for the price, and it being USB, not XLR.

    Purchased this with the Elgato webcam for meetings. Excellent sound, especially compared to diet I was using previously. Mute button and red light lets you know when it's muted to help avoid the "we can't hear you".

    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.
