As a a streamer, this mic looks fantastic and everyone tends to point it out. Also, the sound quality is really good, which is pointed out by my friends on discord when I switch from my phone to this mic on my computer.
I have been using this microphone since the day that i got this, i use it daily for at least 8 hours, the people on call can easily tell that I’m using a desk microphone because of the amazing quality, the voice comes out really clearly and only for 100+ that is an absolute bargain. Would recommend for users finding their preferred desktop mic
I really love this mic, the sound quality is amazing, the material feels like it’s great quality. You can feel how well made it is. The only downside I can see is that the app that’s for the mic doesn’t work. I can change the colours but I can’t access the mic as the firmware update that it asks you to do the moment you get the app doesn’t download so that’s a downside that needs to be fixed and from what I have seen, the app has been like that for a long while.
Having been using a inferior usb mic for some time I was delighted when I seen this go on sale.
Some of my friends had already moved over and got this mic and they always sound crystal clear so it was a no brainer for me. Sound controls are easy to understand and the touch to mute is great as you dont have to bind any keys if you dont want to. The added volume controle on the bottom of the mic means its easy to adjust volume input also. I paired this with a cheap yet high rated boom arm and I havent looked back. It works with my setup and If you see it on sale it is an ideal addition to anyones desk.
I bought this as I am working more from home and doing some 1:1 coaching sessions. I use an iMac and was relying on my AirPods, which increasingly had poor sound quality. I wanted to use the speakers, but knew I needed a microphone what would have a warmer sound to it. So far very happy with my HyperX microphone. Plus easy to set up right out of the box. Only qualm is I would preferred a USB-C input for my iMac, but I have a hub I can use to plug it into so not the end of the world that it’s an old school USB connection.
Bought this as a gift for my partner. It’s brilliant, sound is crisp and works very well. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth it. It’s built to last and very easy to use.
I’ve been using it for 3 days now. The sound is clear and everyone understands me while I game. Easy to install, nice looking, and overall great for the price. Highly suggest it.
The QuadCast S also has a tap-to-mute sensor with an LED indicator, making it easy to mute the mic when needed. With four selectable polar patterns, you can choose the one that best suits your recording needs. The microphone’s convenient gain control adjustment allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the mic quickly and easily.
One of the best things about the HyperX QuadCast S is that it’s customizable via HyperX NGENUITY Software, allowing you to fine-tune the microphone’s settings to your liking. It’s also multi-device and program compatible, so you can use it with a variety of devices and programs.
In summary, the HyperX QuadCast S Microphone is an exceptional option for individuals seeking a top-notch microphone for voiceover work, podcasting, or streaming. Its impressive attributes and adjustable configurations are bound to assist you in creating audio of professional-grade quality.
when i mute the microphone the light goes off, but it dont truly mute
if i talk loud enough it will be picked up, so the microphone never really is muted,
but! its good enough
[i think it sets the pick up volume to super high levels so it will only pick up if its loud]
you can test this on discord.
The quad cast S is perfect for all microphone needs. The ability to change its gain, mute and direction of audio all on the microphone makes it super easy to use. The RGB are vibrant and use of the software makes it even easier to customise your desk. Comes with built in shock-absorber and stand makes it a plug and go microphone with zero extras required. I personally have mine mounted to a 10 boom arm and works great. Highly recommend.
+ Tap on/off the mic with light very comes in handy
+ Adapter included for mounting arms
– It is missing software for noise cancellation, I wish they could add it. I use Nvidia Broadcast with it and it is great.
– Using USB mini for connection which is the really old connector type
– USB connector in uncomfortable place when mounting on arm.
Yes this is a great mic with great looking RGB. However, it is quite expensive and is it worth what you are paying for? Well im not quite sure, the sound quality sounds decent however expected more for the price. The different options for the mic which allows different functions for podcasts,streaming etc is a great touch. Overall it is a decent mic and is good looking for sound quality could be a bit better in my opinion.
Overall, great value for money, looks amazing aesthetically, and impeccable voice quality
Everything is perfect about this mic and is well worth the money
Really happy with how easy it was to setup and use works a treat 😀
The microphone looks amazing and the sound quality is excellent.
his mic provides great quality sound recording (for the price I would expect no less) and lights up nice and fancy, great for any nerd who likes a bright multicoloured set up.
So very nice mic and high quality but can have crackling sounds on default settings so you do have to play around quite a bit to make it work nice and clean. 🙂
The microphone works great but the LEDs can’t be changed on the one I got because the software doesn’t work with the HP version of the mic (consult bottom of the stand if purchased) as of writing this review 25/11/22
I’ve swapped out from my blue yeti to give this mic a try.
Quality-wise, I can’t even tell a difference.
However, the controls are way nicer on the QuadCast. The touch mute button works way better, as my yeti one broke very quickly.
Having volume controls twistable on the top is great, It’s not something I use, but again is much better to use than the yeti’s controls.
The LED’s are a great bonus too.
honestly, i’ve used other condensers from diffirent brands, and the fact this amasing mic doesnt need to be right in your face is superb, i have it about 2 1/2 feet away, and it picks me up clearly, not a single problem with it, the desk stand it comes with is pritty solid, i thought i’d need it on a boom, but i was wrong with the fact it’s not one of those mics that need to be 2 inchs from your face 😀
Everything from design, sound, accessibility, overall quality and feel is fantastic. It looks good, sounds amazing, feels very sturdy and NOT cheaply made unlike some microphones out there. Just in general a superb microphone for everyday use. However it has just ONE critical flaw which sets it back a whole star as in my experience this has become an everyday nuisance I just have to deal with it until HyperX releases a fix. The microphone prevents my PC from going into sleep mode. This is a well known issue which I discovered after doing some research, I just wish I knew before I purchased it. Either way, it’s not too big of a deal as putting the computer into shut down is always an alternative. However it does not excuse the issue at hand as it shouldn’t be a thing. Aside from that, as said before, the microphone is great. If you’re looking for crisp and clear sound quality, you don’t need to look any further.
As it stands : 4 stars
Once issue is fixed : 5 stars
excellent sound and feel, rgb looks cool, worth grabbing an arm for it as its essential to save desk space.
I do enjoy this microphone going from a Razer to this it’s excellent quality and sounds amazing especially if you stream
This is a good upgrade from my old yeti, and has a great warm sound.
The rgb is a nice addition as when you mute it the lights go out.
The build quality is superb, built in shock mount and pop filter are nice additions.
The only problem is it prevents my pc from going into sleep mode. It is a widespread thing if you look on Reddit but I don’t mind personally shutting down instead.
The mic monitoring is good when you use the headphone out and overall I would recommend this mic over a yeti.
Plain and simply this is a good mic. I’ve now used it in gaming and professional situations and have had comments about the quality during both. The stand being fully metal gives enough support and stability that you can’t easily accidentally knock it over. The rgb lighting works very well and can be quite bright when you want it to be. The software to control the rgb and mic settings is very clear in its uses and what options do, I personally find great difficulty understanding how audio devices work but could work it out with the information provided.
I have been contemplating this model for a long time. Having had their headphones for a long time (6 years) and so moving to a stand alone mic was risky. HOWEVER I am so glad I made the leap.
I have left this review for a couple of months to test it out and it is perfect for streaming! The quality has changed so much and have had comments on the crispness of the sound. I have had to tweak the settings slightly for my own preference and pitch. The lights are a fun little touch as well! Happy with my purchase and does the job very well for streaming! 🙂
Excellent microphone and the sound quality is very good. Beware that, although the microphone itself works perfectly with a Mac, the customisation software is only available for windows
Got this over the normal quadcast simply due to the colour scheme and the ability to turn it to a white light so it looks less gamer-esque. The anti-vibration strings are also a more subtle silver. If you don’t mind the red of the regular quadcast the colour scheme and rgb lights are the only difference between them.
The mic itself has a simple design. Tap the top to toggle the mic, twist the bottom to change the sensitivity. On the back there are 4 options for sensor. I’d recommend sticking with the default one, third from the left. This mic was a big upgrade from my previous headset mic. Paired with HD560S’ its incredibly comfortable to use. I keep it slightly further back alongside my monitor and it still has very good sensitivity. It also seems to reject a decent amount of non-speech noises, but that may be the software settings inside Discord.
Happy with it. Got it on sale for 90!
I love, using it for both live streaming and creating content, and couldn’t be happier. Great vocal quality, especially when used with a boom arm. The mute button is very sensitive though. I also recommend using a pop-filter, it’s fine without one, I tend to speak about five inches away from the mic. If you’re some distance then I’m sure it’s fine.
he audio quality is soooooooo good. 100% recommend to anyone who is looking for a usb mic
Really pleased with the microphone, works great with discord. The RGB lighting is neither too dim nor too bright. I would only have preferred it to come with a boom arm rather than the small desk mount.
I purchased this for streaming purposes when my last one died, it’s great quality and the RGB effect is brilliant to see when streaming, I would advise getting an isolation shield. Even though you can change where the mic pics up, it’s a very crisp sound not giving streamers or podcast suppliers that soft sound. All in all though, very good!
Good product. My son was really happy with it! Thanks.
For a usb mic at this price point the quality is fantastic. Just please get a boom arm with it so you don’t have to place it on your desk.
Firstly, the microphone is just amazing. The quality is mind blowing. The dial at the bottom of the microphone is very useful changing the sensitivity how much is picked up. The ability to touch the microphone to mute it is one of it’s best features and the red and black design with the illuminating red is the best. There are multiple pickup selections the microphone provides which suits it to different kinds of needs like ASMR and podcasts which eliminates any reason not to get it.
I’m used to working with studio mics for audio production but never tried a decent mic at the gaming desk.
I have a usb audio interface so was tempted to just go with what I know and plug a studio mic into that but while browsing I saw the HyperX mic and the colours caught my eye!
I’m not a massive RGB lover but this combined with the tap to mute on the top, where the light will go out when muted, that alone is a nice feature.
It also has 4 polar patterns, not what I need for its main purpose but hey its nice addition and gives the mic some real flexibility for different applications.
The headphone out features a customizable (via software) mic monitor and the headphone output is actually better quality than I expected!
There’s also a nice sensitivity dial at the bottom, and a usb-C connection unlike the archaic mini-usb on the older model.
Overall the sound quality is completely fine, exceeds my needs for mainly being used just for gaming. You could easily use this for streaming or YouTube etc.
The features make it a no brainer for me over using more expensive studio mics.
Great buy at a great price!
Love the mic itself, fantastic microphone for this price range, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anything better for the same value. The RGB lighting within the mic itself is a nice touch and the software to manage it is easy to use. Boom arm for this isnt the best in terms of range. but again youre free to buy any arm you like. Mic though is fantastic and Highly recommended
This microphone is well worth the price. Voice is clear and has depth and detail you do not get from cheaper budget microphones. I love it and it was well worth the price.
I prodotti hyper-x non sono economici ma la qualit mi pare proporzionata a quanto si paga. Infatti pu essere usato in diverse modalit (cardioide o omnidirezionale) inoltre ha un controllo volume integrato nel microfono stesso vicino alla base. Se sfiorato all’estremit superiore si pu mettere in mute. Effetto visivo con i led piacevole. Da quando ho questo microfono, in tutte le videochiamate che ho fatto i miei interlocutori non si sono mai lamentati della qualit audio.
Bought a gift for someone who streams and they think it is brilliant, really easy to set up. However, I wasnt impressed with the packaging it came in, for the money spent it should be better protected. It was in it’s box, but then just wrapped in a paper bag! More padding needed I think, luckily it works.
To be honest, I couldn’t tell the difference between quadcast and quadcast S at first sight (Except the possibility of customising the colour to your liking). However excellentmicrophone, like previous version.
Really enjoy podcasting with the mic. Great product with mute button at the top of the mic which is super helpful.
Great overall Mic in general. Noise cancellation is perfect, the sound quality is subliminal and the mic looks great with the dark metals/plastic and custom RGB lighting.
Got as a gift for my husband who streams occasionally. He can’t fault it and looks grea
I don’t use this for gaming or podcasting as they are not things I do but I do use this as my ‘on the road’ mic, yes it is a bit big for that but a suitably sized aluminium case solves that problem.
The multiple pattern is great for things like interviews where you have someone sitting oposite you or a room full of people (Omni Pattern), for gaming and podcasting you would not need multiple patterns but it is nice to have that choice. Sound quality is excellent and I love the soft touch mute button on the top, many mics with a mute switch create an audible click but just stroke your finger across the top and the sound is cut with no click, plus the lights go out to indicate the mic is not ‘hot’. The RGB is very restful and looks great, get to close to the mic and you will get popping despite the internal pop filter, about 6 inches is about right. The only negative I would say is the braided cable is very stiff which makes it difficult to handle, I picked up a softer one on Amazon that works brilliantly. The desk stand and shock mount are good and the shock mount works pretty well, the software for light control is ok but to be honest I don’t use it so cannot comment on it to any degree. All in all a great sounding mic that looks really nice.
Level up in sound quality. Instantly told my mic was significantly clearer. Lightweight product so easy to prop up on a mount. RGB also great on the mic
It’s perfect but has the same hardware as the original product, the only difference being the RGB lights stead of a static red, grey elastics for the shock proofing instead of red and the use of USB type C instead of micro USB.
I use this mic for my stream set up. Works amazing and is very easy to set up. Clear audio and the RGBs are a good talking point with my chat!
Worth the money!
The pizza was cold, stale, and had black markings on the bottom that tasted like venom.
I have owned my mic for over a 2 months now and i can honestly say its one of the most well built products i have bought, i thought at first that it was only good for all its features but was quick to relies that the audio quality was very impressive raw.
J’ai parcouru pas mal de vidos test, comparaisons de microphones de pleins d’autres marques, et mon choix s’est arrt sur celui-ci pourquoi?
Tout simplement il a beaucoup d’avantages et trs peu d’inconvnient !
Les avantages pour moi :
Styl
Support est fournit avec le microphone
Araigne anti vibration fourni avec
4 modes d’enregistrement
Bouton MUTE
Filtre anti pop intgr
Rglage du niveau son facile
S’couter pendant qu’on parle
Connectivit USB-C
RGB personnalis
Qualit du SON !
Je trouve les vrais plus de ce microphone c’est possibilit de choisir le mode d’enregistrement (il y en a 4) et mme si j’utilise qu’un seul mode, peut tre dans le futur j’aurais besoin qui sait. J’aurais pas besoin de racheter un autre.
Mais le GROS point fort de ce micro pour moi cets le bouton MUTE !
a facilite tellement la vie ! On a plus besoin cliquer quelque part sur l’ordinateur pour teindre notre micro, on appuie toute s’implique le microphone et c’est tout ! Pour les streams c’est TOP Mais pas que !
De plus je suis pas un fanboy des rgb, c’tait pas un point impt dans mes recherches, mais a permet de voir si le microphone est en mute ou pas.
Bref il est top et je regrette pas du tout mon achat
Le seul point faible de ce micro c’est peut tre le filtre anti pop qui est pas super super mais il fait largement l’affaire. Et peut tre manque de rglages dans le logiciel. Mais sinon tout est parfai
Definitivamente siento que este producto es bastante agradable visualmente, fcil de instalar, fcil de utilizar, y tiene bastantes ventajas. Pero en cuanto al audio definitivamente siento que definitivamente pudo haber estado mucho mejor.
-El RGB es customizable y fcil de utilizar con la app de Hyper X.
-El diseo me parece muy agradable a la vista.
-Tiene control de volumen muy sencillo de utilizar y muy til, as como varias opciones para captar mejor la direccin en que capta el sonido.
-Es sencillo silenciar el micrfono.
El problema de este micrfono es que a pesar de que se ponga la opcin unidireccional capta una cantidad bastante considerable de otras direcciones, lo que se contradice un poco con una de las ventajas que ya haba mencionado. No obstante me parece un micrfono que puedo catalogar como bueno pero mejorable, y es por eso que solamente le otorgo 4 estrellas.
Si solo necesitas un buen micrfono, habr mejores opciones en menor precio, pero el quadcast te da el pack de 4 modos de escucha y una esttica preciosa.
Personalmente lo compr por las siguientes caractersticas:
* botn de silencio rpido: ya que al hacer streaming y de pronto te interrumpan es mucho ms veces cmodo y til simplemente tocar el tope del mic que configurar shortcuts en obs y discord y que funcionen adecuadamente.
* monitorizacin: poder escucharte en tiempo real sin nada de delay es jodidamente satisfactorio, adems no necesitas audfonos extra, la misma salida de 3.5 del quadcast saca el Audio del pc, por lo que es muy til si el cable de los audfonos es corto.
* control de volumen: hay veces en que te pasas horas en directo y se hace de noche, no quieres despertar a nadie as que hablas bajo,, pero que crees? no te escuchan. Con mi antiguo micrfono barato tena que ir al obs y poner un filtro de ganancia y comprobar que no estuviera muy alto o se escuchara ruido de masa,, pero con sta cosa solo subo la perilla de volmen al mximo, me acerco el mic, y todo perfecto. Adems como ya mencion, se exactamente como lo escuchar la gente que me est escuchando.
As que recomiendo el quadcast para quien tenga el dinero y considere estas cosas y su facilidad de uso tan importantes como yo uwu.
Mi experiencia con l ha sido gratificante. No solo fue sencillo de instalar, sino que tambien me dio ese RGB que hacia falta en mi escritorio. Ahora mi computadora va 10 FPS mas rapido, mi voz se escucha mas ntida, y en mi barrio ya no soy el hazmerreir
Una compra que vale totalmente la pena. No inclu el filtro ant pop porque controlo bastante bien mi pop.

El nico detalle es que los colores (que es lo que lo hace diferente del Quadcast normal) son controlados por una interfaz muy fea, y solo puedes hacer que vayan de manera vertical o colores slidos, pero… An as, estticamente es hermoso.
This seller’s delivery and communication have been excellent which has been very helpful.
