Customer Ratings & Reviews

The mic itself works great and is easy to setup. The audio quality was noticeably better than my previous headset microphone. The only issues I had were that realistically a mic arm/stand is needed for the best experience as the one which comes out the box can take up valuable desk space.

Used this getting documents notorized online. The Notary commented that the clarity he was hearing from this mic was extremely clear. I also found the tap-to-mute feature worked perfectly. This mic performs nearly on par with much more expensive mic's.

I could review this thing in one word - "value". I mean, this is top of the heap at this price point. Months later, I'm still using mine. This finally fixed all the, "we can't hear you" comments on game nights. It also works great for narration - I've recorded a conference talk and some instructional videos for developer friends. Just do yourself a favor and spend some money on a pop filter - nothing fancy, pop filters are not high tech but they are very effective. You don't have to spend 3x the price to get a Mic that comes with a pop filter, they have super cheap universal ones. Bottom line: Months after buying, I'm still using this with zero regrets. If you are reading this review, this is probably all the microphone you need.

Used this microphone in two calls where clients previously couldn’t hear a word I was saying. This low cost microphone worked so well, audio was never question.

At $40, this mic is a no brainer. I was deciding between this mic and the siren mini and this won due to the mute sensor. Add a boom arm and this mostly eliminates the problem with bumping into things and vibrations. Overall, 10/10 recommend.

Very Very good one pound fish six four one four one pound fish

Very clear microphone that’s built great. Better than a regular headset microphone. If you already have a headset or headphones I would recommend pairing them with this mic.

I enjoyed setting this mic up. It's a very easy process and has good quality for what you pay. Overall a good entry level mic for a basic starter setup that you may plan to upgrade later. I would recommend using a mic arm of some sort though as it does pick up background vibrations with the base stand. But I would still give it a 9.5/10 especially if you catch it on sale.

Overall this microphone has been more than adequate. At first I was nervous it wasn't picking up my voice well enough, as most recordings I did to test it had my voice sounding very quiet. However, no one has complained about me being quiet in discord/comms.

This microphone is exactly what I've been looking for! The quality is amazing and the price was fantastic. It arrived right on time and my son who creates animations on his PC has been looking for a good microphone to add scripting for his skits. I would definitely recommend this microphone.

The microphone has really good sound quality especially for the price, I would recommend it for anyone who is in need of a mic that does the job really well

There was an issue with the USB cable that was included in the product package. Due to this mic was not recognized initially on PC. After replacing the USB cable with another cable, mic was recognized. Mic is working fine except that USB cable that included in the product package didn’t function.

I bought this for my boyfriend who likes to game. He was very pleased with the microphone, he said the quality was amazing.

The quality of this mic is amazing for the price. My friends said the jump in quality of my audio was like night and day!!

Great mic, good sound overall good audio for how cheap it is

BEST BEST value for money! Writing after almost 1.5 year , I needed for my class to record my presentation and boy its been great since .

Reliable, plug&play microphone. Great for teams calls and streaming.

I got this on sale for $39.99 but even at full price this is a perfect microphone for gaming or business use. I'm a simple person so I love that it's plug & play without needing to download additional software that use gimmicky voice changers etc. It also features one big button at the top to mute/unmute. The microphone is solid red when it's unmuted and blinks red when muted. The mic sits on my desk with the included holder and the included cable is lengthy so there should be no issue putting it in the perfect spot. I have no issues with voice quality at all my freinds on Discord were impressed when I told them it's just a cheap HyperX mic because they have +$100 Yeti mics. If you're on the fence about this mic this is your sign to pull the trigger!

Starting to stream or just want to sounds better in game play and chat rooms? Dont think you have to get the most expensive mics out there. Get this mic on sale!!

I purchased this as a replacement for a Blue Snowball that died on me after 4 good years of daily use and abuse. Physically, the Solocast feels solidly built, and the “tap to mute” button on the top is pretty intuitive. This mic is good for the price, but don’t expect it to be the “end-all” of USB mics. The Solocast is very “mid-heavy”; lows and highs have noticeable compression to them. This isn’t inherently bad, but it can cause the Solocast to sound flat. It’s very apparent in voice calls where bitrate is on the lower side of “good” (Discord, Teamspeak, Zoom, etc). I strongly suggest buying a shock mount and pop filter as well as this mic loves to pick up plosives. The Snowball, while having a lower frequency range, almost sounded better tonally in my opinion. It picked up more “low-end” and gave an almost announcer or podcast feel. I ended up returning this mic and purchasing it’s bigger brother: the HyperX Quadcast. The price jump for the Quadcast is definitely worth it, but if you only have $60 to spend, the Solocast should suffice. However, I highly recommend looking at the Snowball for comparison before purchasing. You can’t really go wrong with either for $60, but what kind of sound you want will determine which you should get.
