I've been searching as well and can't find any leaks, info not even the video clip shown here but having a close look you can see this is most likely an USB mic with the shape of an SM7B but I don't believe is a "successor"
Here's the video he was referencing. Found it on the Shure twitter account. Looks like it has XLR, USB, and headphone connectors. ua-cam.com/video/zKj5LYFyUNM/v-deo.html
The video linked below says "inspired by an icon". Looks like it has a combo gain/headphone volume control, mic mute, it's XLR, possibly a condenser capsule.
Well, the HyperX also comes with the shock mount thing and built-in pop filter. Also the mute button at the top is pretty nifty (lights off when muted). For someone like me who just wants a quality mic that's pretty nice package. You guys should rate the package/ergonomics too next time.
I would love that honestly... Recently I bought a microphone that sounded pretty good on a review a guy did. But now when I speak too loudly, it gets so loud it like, cracks? I wish for a mic that can handle me being loud.
@@mr.banana4178 it also kinda looks like a Dr. Mario mega vitamin. Yes I Kno my comparisons to what the mic looks like are immature, but I couldn't help it. Tbh, I enjoy it's form factor design.
a minor factor why i went with quad cast a year ago was the added value of built in shock mount and pop filter. coming from a blue yeti with the factory issue of standard shock mounts not fitting, the hyperx quadcast coming with it built in was a blessing. plus shock mounts go for about $20-40, and a pop filter is about $10, so the mic itself is around $90-100. the convenience of having it all in one already and not having to making sure your parts are compatible is a big plus.
Alpha Gaming has grew so much in such little time. Its crazy i remember in the old days when Harris had 50k subs. It makes me happy to see this growth.
As someone who has the regular Yeti X, I absolutely love the software. I tend to have hard "S"es so the de-esser is a godsend for me. That and the controls built into the mic itself and being able to change it on the fly is much appreciated rather than having to go into the software to change my gain, volume or balance between game audio or mic audio.
It honestly depends on what you’re listening on. I watch YT on my phone about 99% of the time, so essentially all subtle differences are lost simply due to hardware.
im seeing this on my pc with my headset you can def hear a difference between them but honestly i was surprised at how good the Razer one is (price X quality)
I just purchased the standard Yeti Blue about one month ago because I don't read directions I was unaware that it is customizable. I already love it after watching this video I love it even more. you guys appear to have a great time making this vid... great job!!!
The Maono AU-A04 Condenser Microphone is an affordable mic. $64 comes with a Boom Arm, and a pop filter. For those getting started I'd take a look at that mic as well as the ones mentioned above.
Feel like i made the right choice with the wave 1. Which I found through you! Appreciate all the info man... You the real MVP! As someone that's new to all of this and just starting a stream/gaming channel, it really does help a lot.
I finally got a Blue Yeti Blackout edition yesterday (kept putting it off because I have so many mics already) and I have to say this is by far the best money I ever spent on a microphone. I'm honestly blown away by the quality of the build and the quality of the sound.
Even comparing the audio from the mics side by side, one after another, the difference is negligible. It's hard to imagine anyone tuning into a stream is going to notice or care about that difference. The fact that one of these is $50 and the others are all over $100 is crazy! That cheap Razer is a steal, really great value.
the more I look into this stuff the more I notice the tiny differences. But overall it isn't a notable enough of a difference. People care much more about your personality and aesthetic at that point
It’s not really the audio quality that matters (cause at this point audio quality is just personal preference), it’s how much background sound the mics pick up. The Blue Yeti by farrr picks up the least amount of background sound, than the Razer is next while the Hyper X and Wave:1 r tied at last. While your talking (if it’s a podcast, a video, streaming, or even just talking to people in games, nobody wants to hear background sounds when ur talking.
@@EvanReichert But will processing the audio afterwards not fix this? With constant buzzing of equipment you can make an Noise Profile and pretty much cut out all of it. Do-able in free programs.

Firstly, I LOVE these comparison videos, they're perfect. However, it would be helpful to hear all of these comparisons with a female voice. Obviously, I have less of a deep voice than you males and I'm finding it hard to figure out which would work best for my voice type. Do you possibly have a suggestion based loosely on the average female voice?
Hahaha, loved how Sam drew my attention to the mic, when I was just focused on the content at hand. Suddenly I was like when will Harris and Senpai notice the hanging mic 😂
@SamWoodhall You had 1 job Sam, 1 job... Harris: "I would give this mic," while pointing at the Wave 1 held by Ryan, "an 8." Sam in spreadsheet: Yeti = 8 Harris: "I would give this one," pointing at the Yeti in his hand, "a 6." Sam in spreadsheet: Wave = 6 Again 1 job Sam, 1 job... BTW good job on the mic moving into the shot.
I just realized that there was a mistake at 14:55. Harris gave the elgato an 8 and the yeti a 6, but it’s the opposite on the video. Anyways, I just thought I’d point it out, keep up the great work guys!
Very good video. I couldn’t really tell that much of a difference on audio but beyond that the wave and yeti have really good software. I have an xlr so would you recommend getting a better interface like the goxlr/goxlr mini to have more control or would you say usb mics are starting to become a better option with the software they include?
Great video guys! Love every second of it. Ryan did great - he is funny and cute -, Mike appearance was hilarious, and Harris was awesome as ever. Moreover, the information I got from this video was 10 out of 10! (y)
Great video as I’m looking to buy my first microphone and this helped me A LOT. Although - I find it very confusing that you’re not using the same rating scales when giving the scores. It would be much appreciated if you both use a scale of 1-10, it would greatly improve your videos!!
I watched a bunch of your audio videos, and they were the reason I bough a Wave. The fact that you still picked it against the new ones, makes me so happy with my purchase ngl LUL
Idk why the Samson q2u wasn’t on her amazing dynamic mic so no background noise and is usb/ xlr so very clear upgrade path and it’s only 60 bucks with a stand
@@realw1ll my mistake, it's still a good mic especially since I have to travel for work and weight and size come into play. Ultimately there are a lot of options that are half the price as the "gaming" oriented microphone options that do as good or better a job.
Great video. If you want some criticism I would just say the only thing you missed the ball on was providing a "Conclusion Section". Otherwise, this is super top notch stuff guys and gets a thumb and sub from me.
Hyper X quad cast S it’s so cool looking aesthetically but the wave link one does so much more in software and it just sounds better I’m really torn which one do you think I should get
@@donkeyflex4201 I own a blue yeti pro and never use it. Unless you want to use it with a dedicated audio interface I would advise you to sell it and get a microphone that is not as overpriced. The wave seems like a good option :)
@@donkeyflex4201 yeah by the time i had the yeti i never really knew about the wave and i dont even know if it came out yet at the time, im content with it because really i just use it for casual streaming and talking to friends
I believe the Quadcast S also acts as an audio output device, the original just had monitoring through the port on the back, not audio passthrough from your computer
I wish there was a store I could go to where I could test out different mics. I've got a very deep voice and it sounds strange in some mics but fine in others.
1:45 How does every music get manually approved by UA-cam? How does that work? Does it get monetized first and have to submit license to be manually approved?
Been watching your videos off and on when I see something interesting pop up. Yes, that segue was a bit LTT esque. All in all, you remind me of Linus Tech Tips, and Hardware Canucks to a degree, but with more geared towards streamers (obviously). Good stuff. Been doing the whole work from home thing, and just looking for some tips on some hardware to up my game a bit with conference calls mainly. Thanks for doing the mic reviews!
When it comes to opinions on software features, and of all things looks, I agree. It was nice however to get a wider range of voice types to demo, rather than just Harris, as I tend to be in the much higher range when using my 'customer service voice' and lower in my off hours. So being able to get a feel for what is most balanced, or at least best for each 'mode', was a big help for me.
Razer is certianly the worst of the bunch... but that pink tho! 😉 Out of this bunch I liked the Elgato best although it's a little sibilant so get that de-esser out. Wave also wins on quality/asthetics for me too as I'd prefer a small form mic that doesn't stand out while I'm streaming. Wave 3 is also cool but you're paying for a higher bit and sample rate along with the tap to mute button on the top so Wave 1 is probably a better deal for most streamers. EQ in OBS is absolutely the way to go or throw in a plugin like iZotope Neutron as a VST filter in OBS and get the best EQ and compression possible. If you're not using OBS you can also use plugins in real time to make these mics sound better via Audio Hijack (Mac) or Voicemeeter Banana (PC). Nice video Harris and Ryan and absolute coincidence we release a video like this at exactly the same time 🎙😁
i did a blind test and liked the elegato on the blue shirt-guys voice as my top first pick, second being the razer all the other microphones seem to have sharp whines when a loud syllable or vowel is pronounced, whereas the razer seemed to dull out most of the sound albiet still being good quality, and thus it sounded as one of the smoothest to my ears. for me, the other microphones remind me of one of those sound graphs that spike really high in the red zone whenever your volume is too loud/ reaching the max ceiling
In b4 "bUt YoU dIdN't TaLk AbOuT tHiS MiC." What mic was your favorite here?

Rode NT-USB of course is the best USB mic. The most clean and deep sound u can reach in usb segment, no difference with mid-budget XLR in close look.

When it comes to opinions on software features, and of all things looks, I agree. It was nice however to get a wider range of voice types to demo, rather than just Harris, as I tend to be in the much higher range when using my 'customer service voice' and lower in my off hours. So being able to get a feel for what is most balanced, or at least best for each 'mode', was a big help for me.
Razer is certianly the worst of the bunch... but that pink tho! 😉 Out of this bunch I liked the Elgato best although it's a little sibilant so get that de-esser out. Wave also wins on quality/asthetics for me too as I'd prefer a small form mic that doesn't stand out while I'm streaming. Wave 3 is also cool but you're paying for a higher bit and sample rate along with the tap to mute button on the top so Wave 1 is probably a better deal for most streamers. EQ in OBS is absolutely the way to go or throw in a plugin like iZotope Neutron as a VST filter in OBS and get the best EQ and compression possible. If you're not using OBS you can also use plugins in real time to make these mics sound better via Audio Hijack (Mac) or Voicemeeter Banana (PC). Nice video Harris and Ryan and absolute coincidence we release a video like this at exactly the same time 🎙😁
worst of the bunch, compared to that it only costs 50 dollars, its actually really good
i did a blind test and liked the elegato on the blue shirt-guys voice as my top first pick, second being the razer
all the other microphones seem to have sharp whines when a loud syllable or vowel is pronounced, whereas the razer seemed to dull out most of the sound albiet still being good quality, and thus it sounded as one of the smoothest to my ears. for me, the other microphones remind me of one of those sound graphs that spike really high in the red zone whenever your volume is too loud/ reaching the max ceiling
Literally just rewatched that original video this morning, talk about perfect timing.
to me they all sound same
This guys: yeah there are extreme differences and nuances in each mic
Just ordered my Hyperx Quadcast S!!! Cant wait for it
Is it good?
@@nellye7 yeah it’s amazing
Did you have your hyperX mic on the right setting this time before you called it out for sounding bad lmao
You had me at pink 😭😩💖
