HyperX QuadCast S – RGB USB Condenser Microphone for PC, PS4, PS5 and Mac, Anti-Vibration Shock Mount, 4 Polar Patterns, Pop Filter, Gain Control, Gaming, Streaming, Podcasts, Twitch, YouTube, Discord

I was using an audio technica micropohone usb for about 8 years now as desktop microphone. I pretty much had a streamer setup minus being an actual streamer as I care about how I sound to others on the internet. I wanted to refresh my desktop microphone and decided to go with the QuadCast. It was definately much bigger than what I was thinking but that didn't cause any issues or buyer's remorse.With the help of the HyperX Ngenuity software, I am able to control a few settings that allow my voice to not be to loud or to quiet. This software is not needed but it can definately help out. I've since removed the software after finding the sweet spot with my volumne. I've been told that the microphone sounds profressional and get asked many times if I spent a large amount of money ($300 or more) on this and everyone is pleasently surprised to hear that this microphone was more affordable than they thought.Overall, very good product. I haven't had any issues. Software isn't needed but definately helps with configuration. 11/10 would buy again if needed too.

The media could not be loaded. I liked what I saw in the product description and judging from the reviews, a pretty decent mic. For the price, even better. Mine was an opened product, appears unblemished. This was a replacement for a generic mic I bought in 2020 that was okay, but this is more advanced and looks cool. More features, better sound quality. The features are great. Love the mute button, turns the lights off and on. Very responsive. Couple other things that sold me on this mic, aside from the great reviews, the gain knob is quite novel. Haven't seen many with such a convenient gain dial. Has a real nice feel to it. The aux audio output is also nice. Adjust sound and light with NGenuity PC app free download from HyperX website. There's some lighting patterns to choose from, speed - brightness - and hue can also be adjusted. There's an option to program presets and export settings to the mic. The plug and play versatility is exceptional. Works with my PC, my guitar amp, my DJI Action 4 camera and my Samsung Galaxy. The included boom mount adapter looks pretty universal. Five eighths or three eighths inch are the options. I went with the larger size for more stability.Alll gimmickry aside, the specs on this mic are at least 'on par' with other leading podcast - streaming mics on the market right now. There are a few that are on the level, of course I didn't see any with the big dial adjustment at the base. The look and feel is very nice. Comes with a sturdy desktop stand and woven nylon USB-C to A cable (recommend having a USB CtoC connection available.) Also, the sold separately HyperX Shield Pop Filter makes the setup even more impressive.As far as improvements, there could be a mobile app for adjusting the mic settings while connected to a smart device - currently there is not. Or perhaps there could be some Bluetooth connectivity. Also, the polar pattern selector knob came loose, but it snapped back on. Totally fine now. Camera quality seems pretty good. Still trying to get it to work as an aux mic with my Bluetooth mic receiver input. It works, but not while attached to the USB on my camera. Although it works while connected directly with USB, I think I'd like to find a solution that can power and connect mic to camera to PC with a single cable. The mic does drain the battery quite a bit with the lights running especially.

Perfect for streaming sounds crispy and good definitely get it when it’s on sale worth it

The HyperX QuadCast S is an outstanding microphone for gaming, streaming, and podcasting. The audio quality is crystal clear, with four polar patterns that provide flexibility for different recording setups. The built-in anti-vibration shock mount and pop filter effectively minimize noise and unwanted sounds, delivering professional-quality recordings. The RGB lighting adds a sleek and customizable touch, perfect for any setup. Setup is straightforward, and the gain control knob is easily adjustable for optimal sound levels. Whether you’re streaming on Twitch or recording podcasts, or just talking to friends on discord or games like me, this mic is a fantastic choice.

The HyperX QuadCast sounds great—clear, professional audio with no weird background hiss. The RGB lighting looks slick, and the whole thing was super easy to set up on my boom arm. I also like that it’s Discord certified, so I know it meets the standards for clear communication during calls or gaming. Whether you’re streaming, chatting, or in class, it does the job really well.

I’ve been using the HyperX Quad Cast S for streaming and calls, and I’m very happy with the performance. The sound quality is clear and professional, and the built-in shock mount and pop filter are nice touches. The tap-to-mute feature on top is super convenient, and the RGB lighting looks amazing on my desk.Setup was plug-and-play with no issues on Windows, and the adjustable polar patterns give me flexibility depending on how I’m using it.The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the software (NGENUITY) is a bit limited—it mainly controls the lighting, not the audio settings. Also, it's very sensitive, so make sure you're in a quiet environment.Overall, highly recommend this mic for streamers, podcasters, or anyone wanting great USB mic quality with a touch of style.

Great mic quality, love the sound it produces. It was a bit heavy, but I wasn't holding it most of the time so that didn't matter much.
