Customer Ratings & Reviews

This mic has been a great one so far. I like the dial to select how you want to set up whether it be sitting in front by yourself or having people in the front and the back of the mic. There is also other settings. The light settings are cool and can be disabled. The easy tap to mute feature is nice. I don't have a negative thing to say about it. It can be attached with the included base or on a boom. My 12 year old uses it when he streams his video games too, so it is very easy to use and set up.

Got it! Here’s a bit more detailed review: "Great sound quality with customizable RGB lighting. Easy to set up and use, with multiple patterns for versatile recording. Sturdy build and effective noise cancellation make it ideal for streaming and podcasting."

The RGB lights are beautiful and work fantastic. This mic is sleek and fancy and really makes your gaming setup seem that much more impressive. The stand works fantastic and the whole stand and microphone is made out of very good quality material. 5 stars for gaming because this microphone really is suited for that gamer setup look. 4.5 stars for sound quality because there is a bit of a room echo if you lean back farther than like 70cm. That issue is solvable with wall padding, or also buying a microphone arm to move the microphone closer to you as you sit. 4 .5 stars for value of money because it really does work like any other professional mic out there for $150-$200, but for me it was so worth the extra money because of how amazing the microphone looked.

Very satisfied with the quality. Sturdy, everyone has commented on the clarity of this mic. RGB is a bonus. This pretty much checked off all the boxes for me and is easy to setup but you can still dive in deeper with software to tweak the input. It's been 2 months of usage and is now my preferred mic/setup.

I've been using the HyperX QuadCast S for a year now, and I've had no problems along the way. The design is striking, with vibrant RGB lighting and a sleek, sturdy build that enhances any setup. The intuitive physical controls make it easy to adjust settings on the fly, and the overall sound quality is impressive. For its price, this mic is a fantastic investment, offering excellent performance and style without overspending. Overall, it earns a solid 4 stars.

This mix is a huge upgrade from the integrated microphone in my external camera. This is podcast quality sound with the ability to switch pickup modes depending on if you’re alone or with others. Plus it just looks cool with the lights, which also serve a purpose to let you know when it’s on vs. muted.

Coming from a Blue Yeti mic, this one is significantly higher quality. You can use the base that came with it, or connect it to an arm using an adapter that it comes with

I have the version of this microphone that is just red as well. They are literelly the same microphone but this version lights up all RGB while the other one is just R lol. Im very happy with this microphone. It sounds great its usb so its plug n play. Its got a gain scroll on the bottom so you can control how much you want your microphone to pick up. And theres a headphone jack on the back if you want to listen to youre voice when you speak. Also the stand it comes with is very good and sturdy but you can also take it off the stand and attach the microphone to a mic arm which i did and it works perfectly fine. But i would make sure the mic arm is strong and sturdy because this mic is a little heavier than some of the other usb mics. If youre using this on pc the hyper x app works very good with this mic as well. Sound quality is very good. Its not like youre getting an XLR mic but its definitely better than any headset mic ive ever heard. And i forgot to mention the mute button on the very top of the mic is very nice. Its not a button you just tap it and it works every time for me. Overall this is the best mic ive ever used and its definitely worth a purchase if your lookong for a mic thats plug n play and not a headset mic

I like the sound quality of the mic so much since I like to game alot I can use my mic to talk with friends on games, and they can hear me so much clearer. This has made my gaming experience so much better and funner ever since I bought it

excellent microphone!!! I love that you can hook up your earphones in the back of the mic, very clear. very sleek, best one I've own. It was recommended by a fellow streamer, and I 100% recommend it myself.

Great addition to my gaming setup. It sounds a lot better than the mic in my Razr headset, and the gradient lights sync up with my other rgb's for a nice aesthetic. The lights go out when you mute it, which is a nice touch.

Pros: works exactly as advertised, nice look, easy setup, great sound, versatility, The ability to adjust recording directions without having to redirect the mic is nice (hence the quad cast for the four options) super easy gain adjustment for quick changes on the fly. The suspension cage really dampens sound transfer from desk (mine is the hyper X boom clamped to the desk, so I am not sure how it is on the desk stand). I love this mic the sound quality as far as I can tell is great (I am not a pro sound guy so take that with a grain of salt) Cons, really the only negative I have is sometimes it doesn't power up when I start my computer and I have to unplug it and plug it back in, which is easy to do, unplug the usb-c from the mic head and plug it back in only takes 3 seconds. It is a minimal inconvenience except I know the more often you plug and unplug something the more the usb port or cable wears.

Love the HyperX Quadcast S. We work hard for our $$ and it;s a requirement that the goods we buy are great quality & value. No disappointment with this mic. Works fantastic. Easy to connect. And looks cool! I was a bit concerned with the highish price- but, had been happy with another HyperX mic that we purchased- so went for it. If the item is quality (which it is)- it's a good deal!

Microphone provides quality audio and easy to use. The USB port is USB-C to conform with new cables. The mute button is easy to use and has a visual confirmation as the lights turn off when muted. Works well for conference calls to minimize echos, background sounds and provide higher quality than webcams. Base still transfers solid desk contacts but overall typing is reduced. Pair it with free audio software to truly bring this microphone to life and improve the quality.

The HyperX Quadcast S is an outstanding microphone. I am not a gamer, I just needed a really good microphone for dictating in Word and also to hopefully use to produce a podcast. A couple of years ago I purchased a Blue Yeti, and it worked well at the time I was using it with my MacBook Pro and my Yamaha keyboard and that was fine. I ended up putting it away and not using it anymore because I really didn't have the time. So, for two years it basically stayed in its case and storage. Fast forward two years and I took it back out a few weeks ago and I could not get it to work with my MacBook anymore. Nothing I tried worked it was just crappy recording quality. Bottom line is that they weren't keeping up with the software updates and it was no longer compatible it wouldn't work with Big Sur. So, I went looking for another microphone and I was not looking for the hyper X, I was looking for something else entirely. I came to the Best Buy website to buy something else, saw the hyper X saw and all the tremendous reviews, so I rolled the dice and I'm glad I did. Straight out of the box absolutely zero setup. I plugged it in, made a couple of trial recordings in audacity, made a couple of trial recordings in GarageBand, dictated a couple of documents to Word and everything worked perfectly right out of the box, zero effort on my part. If you want a great microphone, it doesn't matter if you're a gamer or not this is a great USB microphone. It’s a little more than the Blue mics, but there’s a reason for that. You get what you pay for. I dictated this review into a Word Doc using the mic and only had to make one correction.

Good microphone so far just need the boom arm and when you speak, it sounds very clear. It does pick up some background noise, but it is worth it and you will need to buy an extra pair of headphones doesn’t need to be expensive but yeah 

Best mic for the price! I use this daily for streaming while I was in-between jobs. Sound quality is amazing. Plug and play. A lot of my gaming buddies also have it and love it.

I loved this mic. It was super easy to use and changing the colors was easy. It looked super aesthetic and the mic quality was good. I liked the volume settings and being able to change the performance. Also the mute button is very nice. Being able to quickly mute when needed.

This is a great mic. It is very sensitive, so a separate noise filter is recommended if you have a clicky mechanical keyboard. I use this mic with the NVIDIA broadcast software that utilizes my 2080 Ti to filter out noise. I highly recommend using this with NVIDIA broadcast if you have a 20XX or 30XX graphics card. So far I have not had any complaints from anyone on the other end of my game/video chats. The RGB isn't as configurable as I had hoped, but it's a nice feature to blend with the RGBs in my PC. It should be noted that the lights can only be configured for either live or mute, not both. So, either it lights up when the mic is live, or it lights up when muted. I would like to have one color setting when live and another when muted, but for now I'll settle for it being lot up while live and off while muted. There are only two separate LED sections, one on top and one on bottom, which limits RGB controls. Despite the limitations of the RGB controls, it does have a nice look and seems to fade/transition very smoothly. Once you configure it, you can save the setting to the mic so you don't have to launch the HyperX software at startup every time or install the HyperX software on all devices you plan to use this with. To summarize, if you're looking for a mic with great sound quality, this one will definitely do the trick. And if you're a streamer looking for something to add a little more flare to your stream, this one has some decent RGB support, but there are some others out there with more RGB features.

Hands down the best mic I’ve used. Sure there’s better ones out there but if you’re a casual gamer and streamer, this guy is definitely the way to go. It goes amazing with my rgb setup and the sound quality is amazing. Don’t listen to the reviews that say there’s better ones out there because there’s of course better ones but this one is amazing, easy to use, and customizable. Def recommended
