HyperX QuadCast S Review

Gamers who want to stream or record commentary can make do using a good gaming headset with a solid boom microphone. But if you’re serious about putting your voice on the internet, you should seriously consider a USB microphone.

The $159.99 mic comes loaded with useful features, like four recording patterns, on-mic headphone monitoring, a shock mount, and even the gaming peripheral staple of programmable RGB lighting.

Best microphone ive had

i bought this today and honestly the mic quality is great and it looks good, i definitely recommend getting a boom mic with it but overall great mic

Great overall mic

Theres a few differences with this and the former Quadcast in terms of structure and etc but i am very pleased with the Quadcast S. The RGB is very nice and in terms of customisation there is a lot of options and different effects. The softare is pretty annoying and incosistant to use but theres nothing wrong with the mic itself. The led's/lightbulbs arent the best as you can clearly see where they are from the levels of lighting but the overall quality and mic quality is very good.

Beautiful and Practical

My son was over the moon when he opened this on Xmas day. Lots of different sound options but mostly I love the colours!

Amazing microphone

I bought this microphone about a week ago and ever since it has been amazing the built in shock mount works great on my boom arm and the attached for the boom arm that came with it was great I would definitely recommend this microphone if you have a little bit more money to spend
