The best Microphone is the ugliest one so that everyone comments in the comments section down below on its appearance, thus helping the algorithm recommend Tech YES City.

Thanks Brian! This is really helpful for many creators out there.

I've always been interested in these type of comparison videos but always feel so intimidated by other audio reviewers. I'm happy to see you doing these microphone comparisons cause I own an AT2020+ USB version which is similar to your Wave 3 in that it has an adjustable volume built in with a headphone port. I use it when making voice over for roles and narration. Of course, I never edit my audio too much either cause I almost never know what I'm doing in software. Yet, I do softpad my room to such a point that I feel as though I live in a padded cell XD. So, yeah. It's been a while since doing any work though. The pandemic has this wonderful way of seeming there may be more than enough time for voice work, yet low and behold nobody is hiring anybody at all. I'm doing my best at reappling and auditioning, but....yeah....the acting market right now is a really bad time in the USA. Sorry I went on a little tangent. Just like this microphone comparison cause it's always good for myself to learn more microphones even though the one I have is "more than good enough" I would still like to look for a microphone or program though that is amazing at blocking out almost all ambient noise that doesn't break the bank. I'll still keep looking. And thank you for the videos. Keep being your awesome self, Mr. Tech YES Man.

love the content! this was really helpful.

Great review!

Love the outro man

6:26 was absolutely hilarious lmao. I'm not in the market for a mic, but this was still a nice review.

Dude, I have watched you for 3 years and lost interest in tech over time (because I fixed and built too many pc's in my life xD) but it's so nice to just come back and have these informative nice videos when you need them and you're so frickin sympathic. You definetly have to do something with your voice, like it's too professional to be left alone for presenting tech. Ever thought about music?

As for microphones, I am perfectly fine with my neewer nw800 + some basic audio interface. This can be a killer combo for value. As for streaming, there may be some auto gain control plugin for obs, maybe that would be worth a look as well.

This... this is exactly what I needed. I’d love to really get into YT during the rest of quarantine as a hobby, and this is going to help out with that. Would you consider doing a similar video with far more budget oriented mics?

I knew what you were getting at I was just curious how you were going to express it. I think your viewers like the value aspect of your channel and that "speaks volumes" more than aesthetics, at least to me.

I got the Quadcast it’s dope! Light, colour is cool. Already comes with the accessories you may need to purchase separately with some other mics. Sounds fantastic! Good moneys worth. The elgato sounds good too, which great software and its a nice size but to me it reminds me of a old radio thing.

thanks to you bro i bought wave 3 today becouse of your review

Great video ! Can you use the Shock Mount on the Wave 3 without the need to use an arm ? I mean in its original mount.

YOU EVEN ADDED AUD AND NOT ONLY USD GOD BLESS YOU THANK YOUUU ;-; this video was here for my friend but i just enjoy these

I bought a used Quadcast (Red one) in HKD$485, last year & it is very great.

You clean up really nice, Bryan ;)

Does the Wave 1 have the in-built pop filter and anti-clipper?

Can't you just replace the 'basket' or put foam over the Behringer?

Love your videos man. Can you or anyone else recommend some good 3.5mm mics?

You should look at the JLB Talk microphone. It was a great value when on sale for $70.00 and is better looking compacted to the Yeti microphone.

what program do you use for your voice? @Tech YES City

Can you do a budget usb microphone next?

Hello! The B-1 has a XLR connection, but it also has a USB connection and is it Plug & Play? I need one for the PC but with a USB connection and an easy use.

What is the stand you use on the wave 3? That's not oem, is it?

Do you know you can change the colors on the quadcast s?

I use a Blue Yeti black edition and it sounds great it's very similar to those hypex mic's

i can't unsee that quadcast shape lmao

Any chance in reviewing cheapo mic from Aliexpress?

Hi,the HyperX better on the lower frequensies of the vocal,i listening on high end large speakers,thank you for review,maybe for the peaple the wave 3 sounds better because of deficiency of low frequencies {:

Thank your, I got the legato wave 3, the RGB looks so wired

if you think the quad cast is phallic and weird to look at wait till you see the seiren mini

Wave 3 sounded the most natural to me.

Samson C01U and C01 (XLR) the insider mic

Wow, you can actually do an announcer voice. Or Quiz show host.

Still using the at-2020 usb here

I switched from the Blue Snowball to HyperX Quadcast S.... even did a comparison on my channel. But... never going to change mics. HpyerX really puts in a lot of though into their products including headphones. I love the Elgato lights, streamdecks, etc. But for audio, HpyperX wins.

What about keyboard sounds? Do those mics record them or blend them out?

Wave 3 label on Quadcast non S but we get the idea ;)

I can understand the need for USB microphones on the market. But I personally am more interested in XLR Condensers for my audio-interface.

Checkout the Apogee HypeMic. Smokes them all.

I just got that mic the Elgato wave 3 mic. Is there any tip or trick you can give me for that mic? Thanks love your videos.

i like cleaning my quadcast ...i clean it multiple times a day if i can!!!

The rgb makes it sound better. You can't tell me otherwise.

'you are yelling at the mike' -machine gun

it says wave 3 for the quadcast test lol

2:05 vs 2:25 I'm sorry, but these don't sound the same at all... The QuadCast S sounds noticeably better. Has no one picked up on that?

just got a quadcast s for 160 at best buy

B1 sounds the best to me

form over function.... rgb lights (who cares) save your money buy a new B1, TM1 or the C1U

sweet, first reply. still enjoying the content bro.

Good boo good video

Imma take the blue yeti i already own

Who's gonna buy one of these led mics at that price point, when u can get a Rode for example?

ZOOM H2n FTW!.

why did u type Elgato as "El Gato" like it's spanish or something

1:20 I am hopin this comment gets a loveheart.

Why is the quadcast so expensive now? It used to be $130 the last time I checked

*Just cleaning the mic* Heyo...

I don't think the Quadcast looks like that the blue yeti on the other hand... looks very much like a ....

1:33 2:31

Rode NT-USB wins :D

I got the quad cast s for 160 dollars on Best buy's site

5:45 pushin 🅿️ 💀💀💀

i bought the quadcast s for 110 euros (roughly 120 dollars)

I don’t understand, why all these manufacturers build condenser mics. It’s just a bad idea to use them for two reasons: first, if you leave them on all the time, the static charge in them will attract dust to the capsule, which you can’t get rid of and the mic will start to increase having a irritating noise floor. Hence, you will always have to put some kind of cloth over them when you don’t use it, or you have to unplug them or turn them off. Secondly, they are very sensitive over the whole frequency response, why they will pick up reverberation of the room. Most people don’t have acoustically treated rooms, so they will just sound like shit. If you have a suboptimal room, and use the microphone a lot, think about getting an audio interface with a cheap dynamic mic. You will have less problems with the room acoustics and you will have the flexibility to change the mic at a later point. Plus, the sound of your headphones might sound better, because of the upgrade of the sound card.

who cares about the sound, getting the quadcast ez

Rgb?

Bruh you added 100$ to the quadcast s lol

i don't like the elgato one because it doesn't look like a real cat

Pretty sure the brand is called Elgato and not El gato - it is odd for any Spanish speaker to read el gato microphone since it literally means "the cat"

HyperX be like: What do you mean? The microphone is designed intentionally to look phallic-shaped. So you can suck it, YES. joking aside, completely agree. Elgato Wave 3 probably won me over with their microphone.

fellas, is it gay to use the hyperx quadcast?

nobody plays call of duty on pc lol....prior crossplay it was a proof for that as every new game servers would be dead during first month already

Need a graphic card please

Your "not homophobic comment" did mess yourself as a person. Are you not comfortable with your sexuality?? Lost all respect from you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Always better to have a proper audio mixer. Using a mixer with Phantom power is far better imo. The mixer also have multiple features ready to hand like freq adjust and effects. I use the Behringer C3. For the money it is far better than all of these when paired with a good audio console (Behringer Eurorack UB100FX) The standard Shure SV100 is also a fantastic mic for the money. All depends you pays ya money, RGB on a MIC is bling and useless, Completely defunct I do like the look of the wave 1 though. But I don't use USB mics so......

Last part of this video was cringe

SUS

People: We wish it had RGB so we can set it to the colour matching our PC theme colour HyperX: Here have a RGB gay rainbow puke People: It's even worse now HyperX:

tontoooooooooooooooooooo
