    The install instructions do not match the current Mac interface. And support won't answer. This product is junk.

    I received it. Was excited. Tried for a couple hours to get it to work and nothing. PC recognizes it but anytime I test it doesn’t recognize any input.

      Hi Mike,

      Did you have the microphone connected to a USB 3.0 port? The microphone requires USB 3.0 to properly power the microphone. If you're still having issues, please feel free to reach out to our support team: support.corsair.com

    I purchased this microphone with the matching low-profile arm and setup was simple and efficient. The sound quality is good without a pop filter and there are plenty of easy and free resources online to help you set this microphone up in a way that suits your needs.

    Sturdy, heavy duty stand. Easy to plug and use - easy name to find on your device. I did take the stand off and put it on a mic arm, which looks really good!

    software is garbage

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The microphone itself is pretty good. But I bought the Mic so I could use the proprietary software " wave link ". The Wave link software on the other hand is a buggy hunk of garbage! especially when you try and use it on their "stream deck". sometimes it works,,, sometimes not. you cant count on it to work when you need it to. and you have to buy their mic to use it. dont waste your money you worked too hard to earn it! the mic by itself is not worth the price tag!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
