Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this mic, no complaints, would recommend to anyone.

This condenser mic is nicely designed featuring rgb lighting, a slick stand, and seems to record right out of the box without any hassle. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this mic sounds without changing any settings, but having the ability to fine tune it even more with the SteelSeriesGG software gives it quite a bit of edge. Hooking it up to my boom arm was simple with the included adapter, but honestly it looks good on the stand as well. pros In my opinion its a really nice looking microphone, has a nice style to it Built in led visual indicator level bar on the microphone makes this a nice feature to see how loud your recording as well as when pressing mute which shows a large indicator so you know when the mic is off includes a mic monitoring port (3.5mm) On mic quick access gain dial/mute button/headphone gain dial Customizable rgb colors through the SSGG software suite cons i personally can't come up with anything i dislike about this mic overall i can't really complain about much with this mic, the aesthetics of it are very nice, everything just flows from the design of the mic to the rgb colors radiating off of the slick included stand. the sound is good and better when software tweaked, and the mic looks good on my desk with all my other gadgets.

Great mic quality and clarity I would purchase again and again

Replaced my snowball with this and the sonar integration is very good with a few small issues of the app defaulting to the the wrong devices.

Great mic, works as advertised. Would recommend purchasing if you're looking for a quality mic that's not super expensive.

It does not produce good quality audio out of the box with any of the presets. Also hardly anyone has a good recommendation on YouTube for good mic settings to make your voice sound crispy. I would recommend getting the YETI GX by LOGITECH! the software is 100X easier to use. Also you’re gonna need a shock mount to help with unwanted vibrations it will pick up. The Elgato Wave:1/3 works for the yeti! As long as you use your screw that connects the mic to the desktop stand provided in the yeti box. If you need a video on this, let me know on my YouTube channel at DUDEBOX69 by commenting on any of my videos. I’ll respond and make a video about the yeti I have. All my crispy audio settings and how to make the Cahill mount work.

The SteelSeries Alias USB Microphone has truly been a game-changer in my audio recording and communication setup. As a new content creator intending to focus on game streaming, I demand a microphone that can deliver exceptional clarity and versatility. The Alias microphone not only met but exceeded my expectations in every aspect. First and foremost, the setup was a breeze. It's a true plug-and-play device, and I was up and running in seconds. The USB-C connectivity is a huge plus, allowing me to use it with my laptop and desktop without the need for any additional drivers or complicated configurations. This simplicity is a welcome feature for anyone who wants to get straight to recording or communicating without technical hassles. The Steelcase Sonar software allows control of all the microphone settings and is very intuitive and easy to use with drag and drop app routing and easy to use sliders for mixing. The sound quality of the Alias microphone is where it truly shines. Whether I'm recording voiceovers, participating in virtual meetings, or live streaming when I’m gaming, the audio quality is outstanding. The large capsule, which is stated to be three times larger than other mics, captures my voice with exceptional clarity while minimizing background noise. I've found that it effectively isolates my voice, making my recordings sound professional and polished. The frequency response is broad, capturing the nuances of my voice, whether I'm speaking, or playing a game. The software provides AI based noise cancelling that works great. The Alias microphone also offers great versatility. It comes with a desktop stand that allows me to position the microphone at the optimal height and angle. This flexibility is a real advantage for various recording scenarios. Additionally, the integrated shock mount effectively reduces unwanted vibrations, enhancing the overall recording quality. The microphone's solid build and sleek design give it a professional and premium feel. The volume controls are conveniently located on the front of the microphone, allowing for quick adjustments without disrupting your workflow. The 5-stage LED level meter is a handy feature to know at a glance whether the microphone is active or muted. I particularly liked the big red X that appears when the mic is muted. In conclusion, the SteelSeries Alias USB Microphone is a top-notch choice for anyone looking to elevate their audio recording and communication game. It’s the perfect mic while gaming. The exceptional sound quality, ease of use, and versatile design make it a must-have for content creators, streamers, and remote professionals.

Didn’t use it that long so couldn’t really give it a review

From the first day I bought this mic I've regretted it. I've had a yeti I bought back in 2016 and it not only works better than the alias, but audio quality is about the same. The alias will constantly annoy you about setting up the software until you do it. I finally came to the decision to try it after it randomly lost connection to my computer several times a game session for a week. It'll just randomly disconnect screeching in my ears for a moment and severely lagging my computer. It does not buffer out other voices in a room at all so it constantly picks up my roommate. It also sets up several different audio output sources and defaults itself for audio. I could go on forever about how much I hate it. I'll leave it at that

The Steelseries Alias streaming mic is an outstanding microphone that has some incredible features. The microphone comes with a heavy-duty brushed metal stand, and long USB-C cable for plug and play and a boom arm adapter. Setting up the Alias is simple, just plug in the mic with the included usb-c cable, then download the Sonar software and from there you’re ready to go. The Alias does have physical volume knobs and a mute button on the mic itself. I love how there are LEDs on the front of the mic that emit a red X to let you know that you have it on mute. The back of the mic is where the gain knob is, and I wish they would have just put it on the front with the other knob. The stand is adjustable, but for some reason no matter how tight I have it, the mic will slide forward at the slightest touch (i.e., adjusting the gain knob). The Mic has some really great features that make this stand out from other mics. For starters, the audio quality is outstanding. To test this out, I used a simple voice recording software and was able to hear the difference between this mic and some other ones I had laying around. The Clearcast AI noise cancelation works amazing, I had my kids yelling in the next room and it was able to eliminate the background noise. With the aux port on the bottom of the mic, you can plug in headphones for audio and still use the mic. Just for fun, I wanted to see if this will work with my MacBook pro, and to my surprise it did. I didn’t bother downloading the Sonar software with it, but all the main features worked great...For example, the mute button works, the red X LEDs still shined, the volume knobs worked and compared to the built-in mic the Alias sounds 10 times better. Overall, I love the sound quality if the Alias. It really sounds like I’m using a professional microphone when capturing audio. The Sonar software offers some great features to that let you take full advantage of the Alias, my favorite being the AI noise canceling. The fact that it works with Mac is a huge bonus, as I can us this for recording voice overs in Final Cut pro. Although, if could change one thing about this mic, it would be the placement of the gain knob. It’s just placed in an awkward spot that’s hard to reach, and when I have to adjust it, I end up messing up the position of the mic. That being said, I don’t know if it’s just mine or if they are all like that, but the mic doesn’t lock into place very well. Either way, I am happy with the Alias, and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great quality mic.

Looks good, but my pc didn’t even recognize the microphone as a device. Tried everything, had to return. Definitely not an issue on my end, I have a very high end pc, but it could’ve just been one of very few that were faulty. Every other usb mic i’ve used has had no problem connecting so not sure what the issue was with this one.

Honestly was hyped up for no reason I honestly had to many issues with the mic so i returned it

Ive never had to reinstall any software so many times, i get error code 20 every other day.
