If you're like me and play games for fun, but want a better microphone just because, then this mic is perfect! It may be a bit more expensive than a blue yeti but in reality it's cheaper because this mic has a built-in shock mount and pop filter, while the blue yeti has neither, so you need to get those separately. Buy a boom arm and thats it! You have a complete mic set-up with just the Quadcast and a boom arm. The quality is great for a casual gamer or even a streamer starting out, (honestly a professional can use this and there probably wouldn't be a problem!) In conclusion, if you're willing to drop the money, get this mic, it's worth it.

This mic is amazing! It’s not too heavy but it’s not light either. Great build quality. The performance is second to none! I love all the different modes this mic has to offer, and I like the fact that it has a gain switch that you can toggle with as well. Oh and to mute it? Just tap your finger on the top and the LED indicator on the mic will go off letting you know it’s muted. It has a built in pop filter and also a shock mount. Those are usually purchasable for mother mics, but with this one, you don’t need to purchase those extra accessories! Awesome and very, very happy with this purchase!

Amazing microphone for an absolutely amazing price. This is by far the best microphone on the market at this price. Perfect for business meetings, gaming or even streaming. The voice clarity is superb and very easy to setup.

I was looking for a great microphone that would be plug and play and that would not use XLR. This was the best option I came across after watching countless reviews, needless to say, the microphone is absolutely fantastic as are many other HyperX products. There is a built-in pop filter and shock mount which you will not find on many other microphones. Audio is crystal clear, also does not pick up any noise coming from directly behind it or to the sides when kept on cardioid mode.

I have had no issues with this microphone, which is great for streaming/recording. I love the feature where you can tap the top of the mic to mute it when you need to, as well has have the ability to change the sounding with a dial on the back. This microphone has a ease of use and easy for those who are getting into better quality streaming/recording audio.

I previously purchased the JLab Talk Go and the Blue Yeti Nano, and although this mic is its on category, I’m very impressed of all the subtle features that saved me money. I mainly use this to replace my terrible quality of my headset mic and podcasting, and I love every single thing about this mic. The mic has a sensitive mic, with 4 pickup patterns, built-in pop filter, shock mount and beautiful looking red LED light. In addition, i love the mute function and the smooth gain knob. If this mic didn’t have the pop filter and shock mount, I’d be spending another $40 to account for those. I would definitely recommend this mic for any gaming, podcasting or voice overs.

This USB mic has great audio quality, comparable with the Blue Yeti. However, this one comes with some additional features that may increase the value depending on how much you pay for it. It includes a built in shock mount and pop filter. The light tells you if the mic is on or not. Overall, great features and works well.

This microphone is built for streamers due to is sound quality and convenient design/features. The easily accessible gain knob on the bottom, the mute button on the top, and the built in shock mount work flawlessly. The red LED is on when unmuted and off when muted. It also comes with an adapter to mount the microphone onto an arm.

Excellent USB Mic

Great audio quality for a USB mic. Overkill features for work-from-home voice calls in these pandemic times. Excellent mic for livestreaming, and great features for a variety content creator. It's a little pricey for complete beginners to commit to, and the audio quality won't be as good as an XLR microphone, but it's an amazing price and feature set on its own.
It's shockingly light, meaning it won't tip over tabletop tripods, or weigh down budget boom arms. It comes with its own pop filter and shock mount built in. It has a gain adjustment dial on the bottom, and a polar pattern selector dial on the back. Many microphones don't have on/off switches. Not only does the QuadCast have a touch-sensor on the top for muting and unmuting, the red pop filter lights up when the mic is active. The USB cable for the mic is thick and braided with a smooth sleeve. The mic comes with a desk stand, and a threaded adapter between 3/8" and 5/8", so for most users, everything you'll need for setup will come with the box.

I got this wanting to use something other than my headset mic, and it’s a world of difference. Friends say that I come through crystal clear now on discord. I could even do top notch asmr if I wanted to.
The multiple settings are nice to change how sound is picked up, like you could do a set up for a face to face recording with someone and pick up both channels. Though I haven’t messed with these too much, people do like them I just found the best setting for me that doesn’t pick up my keyboard.
There is a nice input volume dial on the bottom, the only thing I don’t like it the dots for volume level down cover the whole distance it spins. So it’s a bit of a guess on the input level.
The touch mute button is nice for easily muting your input and the red lighting turns off when muted, letting you know that it’s not recording.
The stand it comes with is very sturdy and has great weight to it, though I did attach mine to an arm to have it up (personal preference)
Overall 10/10 mic.

Like a lot of people in these difficult times, I decided to give Live-Streaming a go and this mic caught my eye due to its gorgeous color scheme. After a lot of review searching, I gave it a go and I have been so blown away by its performance. It honestly sounds great and with a little tweaking with the right software can sound even better.
The ability to tap the top of the mic to mute it is such a useful feature, which in turn shuts off the red LED inside the mic so you know when its on or off. The gain dial at the bottom is also very useful (though the visual dots on it aren't very accurate) and also the ability to plug in headphones to monitor yourself is extremely useful too.
The only thing I would suggest buying along with this mic is a proper boom-arm or mic stand. As it's a USB condenser mic, it does pick up the sounds of a keyboard, mouse, or accidental desk bumps if you use the included stand.

Amazing Mic but the Red LED is too Bright,

I would say this is the best USB microphone for the price range hands down.
You get the whole nine yards with it. A shock mount, VERY sturdy stand, easy to mute, and an adapter to mount to an arm. The sound quality is superb. And gain is easy to adjust. There are no necessary software to get this working either.
Issues with it:
1) LED is very bright, I wish there was a setting to turn it down.
2) Microphone is tall, can be unwieldy depending on where you have or it how much space you have. I have raised monitors so I can just put it in front of me.
3) The gain is TOOOO easy to adjust. If I had stronger lungs, I could probably turn it with my breath. Which sucks because the gain is on the bottom, so if you have it on a monitor arm above your keyboard, you might tap it.
4) It comes with 2 washers that go between the mic and the stand to keep it super secure, these fall out too easily and I did lose one to the abyss on my first day of owning this. It's like dropping a screw and losing it for good. Its not necessary to have these, but it spreads the pressure evenly from mic to stand to keep it level or keep it from moving on accident.
Otherwise I have had no other issues with this mic and nothing but good things to say.

This microphone provides amazing sound quality and ease of use. It is entirely plug and play. My biggest issue with it is that the mic uses usb micro. For audio this cable is an absolute hassle to work with when trying to connect it to external systems for further audio work as many if not all external audio hardware does not have a usb A port and only contain USB C or audio jacks. USB micro requires either a ton of adapters reducing sound quality or some loophole work around inside the program. This is great for calls with friends or workers it will do the job of zoom and discord perfectly well, again the only issue is with more advanced projects

Purchased to replace a HyperX headset mic that was becoming cumbersome. Installed very easily, little setup required. Works great with Windows 10, paired with a boom arm for placement and to help lower needed gain from desk placement.
Audio is very clear, on par with similarly priced products from Blue and AudioTechnica. The tap to mute feature is extremely convenient, and the product looks great as well. Very solid construction. Highly recommend this if you're looking for a plug and play solution that does not require a separate mixer, or bloated software solutions for features. Everything is on the mic itself.

the Hyperx quadcast mic is simply amazing, i had a blue yei but the usb port broke and i was planning to buy another blue yeti til i read review on the hyperx quadcast, the tap to mute for mic is awesome which lets you know if its on mute or not from red illuminated light. it have 4 different modes for voicing depending on what you use it for. the mic itself is lighter than blue yeti and if u have a boom arm, it comes with a attachment for the boomarm. Overall i like the quadcast over blue yeti. its worth every penny even tho its a lil expensive compare to the blue yeti.

The price vs quality is more than satisfactory, the playback sounds crystal clear and works great for streaming.. You have 4 different zones and presets so the mic can be used for gaming, interviews, podcasts, or just solo recording.. it has a built in pop filter so there is no need to buy one (I'd still recommend it if you want absolute playback clarity) and it comes with an adapter for a desk boom arm (you should consider one to reduce sound echo from mic being too close to the desk when it's on its stand) All in all great mic and you cant beat the price I got it at!

I use it mainly for gaming streaming and game chat, sounds super clear and used in cardioid mode it does a great job at not picking up background noise. Only real complaint is the red glow when “live”, it can be distracting and can glare off your monitor in a dark scene, I solved this issue by buying a foam pop filter to slip over the mic and super happy can still Barely see the light but definitely not distracting anymore. Would like to see a future update to reverse this toggle so muted is glowing red. And live is light off.

Been using it for streaming on twitch, talking on discord/zoom, and recording interviews for a podcast. No complaints so far. It looks beautiful, no one complains about hearing too much feedback from my speakers (if I'm not using a headset) and the shock absorber seems to help prevent the mic from picking up the clicking of my keys. And the mute touch button on the top is not to be understated, it's super convenient. The light is beautiful as well! Friends tell me I sound crystal clear with this.
