I needed a microphone for improved sound quality during videa call meetings, and this seemed perfect. The sound is nice and clear and the software included is easy to use to fine tune the quality.

Upgraded to this mic from a cheap Amazon one. It captures my voice better and without turning the gain to full blast. The software I easy to use and if you are new to using audio there's a ton of YouTube videos that can assist you getting it just right. Overall if you need/want a good USB microphone for content creation or streaming this is it.

Sure a great microphone has little to do with aesthetics. However, when it's on your desk and you have to look at it every day.... It's nice to have one that's not a hideous blob of metal and plastic. I haven't used the wave software too much but overall so far it's been excellent for recording.
I would recommend this to a friend

When it comes to non-XLR, this is kinda top tier for USB mics and the WavLink software does a lot to make up for the premium price. Highly recommend for Discord and OSB streaming. The hardware noise limiter on the top end is great feature too that many USB mics do not have. Wish it did have more mic patterns like the HyperX Quadcast, however cardioid is mainly used.

Sounds about the same if not better then the YETI but is a lot smaller and not as distracting on stream. The Software is where this microphone shines. The Wavelink software lets this mic work similar to an xlr setup and stands in the space between a standard USB mic and an xlr setup. It only has the single pickup pattern and is designed for streaming.

For the price and the intended application, it's a really nice mic with a lot of great features. While you certainly could use it for music production, it's really aimed at streamers. To that end, the sound is lacking a bit on the low end and focuses more on the mids and a bit of upper-end clarity. I imagine this was an intentional decision as this helps with audibility. You can tweak it with the (included) EQ if you want a different sound, but this has a great foundation on which to build. It's also well made, the mute button is silent, and the noise floor is low. It's also muted in its design so it doesn't stick out on camera. The software is relatively simple to use and works well. I really don't have anything negative to say about it, what else could you want from a streamer-oriented mic at this price point?

The clarity on the mic is wonderful! I specifically love the program Elgato offers, known as WaveLink, as it helps me refine the microphone to my liking.

Very nice sounding microphone, but it seems to be intended for podcasting more than other recording work. I recorded myself reading and playing acoustic guitar and found that the midrange was very strong on both and the low-end was not full for either. Turns out the bottom end of the frequency response on this mic is 70Hz, and that missing bass was noticeable for me, even boosting it with EQ in post.
The software it works with also looks like it would be great for streaming, and is a great mixer, but it offers almost no functionality for signal modification.

One of the best USB microphones you can buy. Especially paired with the software. I mostly use it for discord and streaming and everyone always says I sound great. Even in calls for work people are impress.

So i struggled with afew headsets and mics and this was the answer to them all. The quality is A1 but so is the software you get (WAVELINK). Honestly wave link might be the best thing about this. I found myself having some slight issues with sound when using this with RTX Voice but ever since i disabled that its been perfect. Highly recommended

This is already a great mic, but if you're running macOS and looking for something to help with streaming, get it!! Wavelink is one of the best programs I have used that works with my Mac and its wack audio routing issues. Wavelink is the program that comes with the mic, and has a lot of good audio mixes and options if you need to calibrate it for whatever reason. The biggest thing is how that program connects different programs that have audio output that you might be trying to capture (I primarily struggled with capturing my music software or even my voice chats before this). I love this mic, really, and almost 3 years later, I still swear by it.

I took a chance on this one (even though it's an Elgato product) because I needed something that was more intuitive to my streaming needs than other software programs. This did not disappoint!
The software included for the Wave:3 makes setup and use completely hassle-free and it fulfills the promise made by Elgato to transform your streams. A must-buy!

This a great usb mic for any beginner streamer the price is nice and it comes with a mix amp feature if u have the aux cord. The software is pretty easy to use and I found that sound quality to be far better then gaming headsets. Would recommend this mic 100% if you are looking for something cheaper then higher end but want great quality
