I got the chance to use both and let me tell you: If you just want to get a better mic for discord then buy the Razer Seiren mini! The amount of background noise that the Hyperx picks up really fucks with discord noise suppression and makes your voice volume go up and down and outright cuts your voice.
Thank you! That's 90% my mic usage so it helps a lot to know this. Mind if I ask, what are your Discord mic settings with the Mini? I currently have a Neewer 7000 and I deactivated noise supression, echo and whatever else cause sometimes it mutes my voice a lot but once deactivated the background noise is insane. The mic pics birds that are far. o______O"
@@Bacavoit i had the neewer 7000 too and tried to change the settings a bit but since I don't know much I kept making the voice cutting or noise worse. It fixed itself when I just defaulted all the settings though. for the mini settings I just keep them at default on voice activity and it works fine, I don't have nitro anyway so I don't think my voice will sound better anyway
I would love to see using the Seiren mini's microphone stand on the Solocast to make clear if the vibration problems with the Solocast come from its mount's unstable and solid build and/or the way the microphone connects to the stand. In case you are reading this late comment and happen to still have the microphones, out of curiosity, please let me know your results.
The cable placement on the Razer seems like a pro at first, but keep in mind it could make things more difficult if you want to slide the mic into a universal shock mount on a boom arm
Woah, thank you so much... Ive been searching reviews for both of them, and you made a review for both of them, also really good test, and explanation. Thank you.
I bought the Razer mic recently and used it for the first time with Shotcut. It was very easy to use although I had to adjust the gain to get a louder volume. It has a nice tone to it and a friend said it made me sound posh! Lol.
The Hyperx Solocast picks up vibrations with the boom arm as well, even if you just nudge the boom arm the vibrations basically destroys the mic and you can hear the vibration resonance for like 1 min afterwards as well. While the Razer Seiren just picks up your voice better with the boom arm with basically no downside to it. So I would recommend the Razer Seiren Mini, even tho I mostly hate Razer products.
i bet the reason is the table ur using is a bit off and shakes. basically, mine does too but i dont care about it cuz i dont go intense. with the boom arm. both works the same. most players here have a loose table :D
@@jukt.There are other problems with shakyness than just shaky table. For example I have very solid and quite heavy table, you cant shake it with hands, but I do have literal main street outside the house right under my windows and the roads are not perfect,so heavy public transport going over a hole or a bump on the road causes the ground to shake to the point where everything shakes here pretty visibly, no matter how stable the furniture/things are.
Honestly this is a fantastic video. thank you so much Caleb. You saved me so much hassle by testing SEVERAL things i wondered. I am tossed up between both and this side by side with typing tests, boom mic position tests, cord positions, mute buttons, background noise. all helps. Thank you again for doing this video for us.
huh, I never really thought of the desk shakiness and the usage of the boom arm, thanks for teaching me new factors to look into when choosing a mic XD
One thing I notice on the Razer Seiren is that when you plug it in, Windows by default turn down the gain volume by a lot. So if you want it to pick up more volume, try adjusting the gain on your Windows settings.
The goal is to have almost no gain though, buy a boom arm it will help. Record a side by side of your microphone on your desk while speaking vs while its near your mouth speaking, you will notice the massive difference.
Only reason imma go for the seiren mini is because it ships to my location from Amazon, while the holocast does not, although I do wish the seiren had a tap to mute. I’m also looking for a budget boom arm to go with it, so I’m looking forward to your reviews 😎. Keep up the high quality content!
That makes sense. Sometimes that is what will make the decision for you. I will try to get some reviews on some budget boom arms before long. Thanks for the support 😀
I was just thinking of looking for a video like this since I had my doubts with the solocast, and today you appeared among my recommendations, a greeting from Mexico (and sorry if it is something wrong, but I'm using google translator xD)
Thanks for the review! Thinking about my lifestyle and considering the low vibration, I will buy the Razer Seiren Mini. Thank you for this helpful vid!
Bear in mind, the slider on OBS only goes up to 0db, but you can go into the advanced audio properties and set it to a higher value there. I've been setting my current microphone to +5db, until my computer suddenly decided my mic should behave differently.
Thank You ! This helps a ton right now since I m trying to find a more or less budget mic (because in my country those unfortunatrlly are not budget at all :( ) that picks up as less as possible vibrations and low background sounds, since I have very busy main street right outside the house and also public transport causes quite a lot and pretty visible vibrations. Considering Razer after this
@@aidin6003 lmfao every time he touches it you can just hear it rumbling. even having it just sitting there you can hear the humming of whatever it is he has going on. it just picks up so much of the low frequencies.
Without the rumble coming from the PC, the solocast sound is much fuller for me, translating to a better overral sound quality. But even though i don't have anything that may cause any vibrations, i'm still worried with all this noise and might end up getting the seiren mini because of the built in shock mount. Could also spend an extra 20 bucks for some kind of stand and a shock mount. I don't really know what to do. Somebody help me 😂😂
@@Jtacyt Hello! I also bought the SoloCast and I love it aswell but I don't like it that much in Discord because of the inbuilt sound suppression in there. Either the mic will pick everything or it won't pick high pitched sounds even from me. I still like it though
After watching 3 reviews I had no idea wich one to buy because it seems like most people are afraid of offending the companies, thank you for making a proper review
Thank you, a very honest comparative and plenty of samples of real use, not useless chatter with another microphone (yeah, I see it's pretty, but it's a mic, not a piece of modern art).
Seiren clearly appears to have an integrated highpass. No hum and no thump from keyboard. Solocast has a constant hum (why aren't you mentioning this!) and picks up those thumps really big. Maybe you could do a highpass in software?
The Seiren does not have a high pass filter. If it did that then it would sound anemic because high pass means it filters ALL frequencies below a threshold. What it does have is an integrated shock mount that isolates the microphone capsule from the stand and desk
Hello could you help me to decide please? Im thinking about buying HyperX Solocast and Im wondering if it's a good choice if Im talking very quietly and planning to have the mic about 1m in front of me (about 3.3 feet). Will the Solocast still record my voice with a decent quality? Thanks for info!
I got the Solocast and yeah, the vibration is bad, but I'm getting a boom arm and shock mount for less than 40 bucks and it'll probably sound much better.
Hi Caleb, I just bought a hyperx solocast 😊😊 your review is sooo precise!! 100% happy I watched your video, I almost buy a razer seiren mini last week. Thank you soo much man! You're a great help ❤
I have a boom arm already from my previous microphone kit and it I believe it supports the solocast so i think I will go for it. A mic mute button is important for me but I may not want to use the boom arm due to a cleaner look or anything along those lines. Should I still go for the solocast if i decide to use a boomarm or can you recommend something else for around this price range?
Fantastic vid, subbed, hopefully, your channel takes off - one of the best product reviews I've seen (most scream like high energy ads these days). Is the video on the best mounting arms coming soon? If not if you got a few suggestions totally feel free to DM or comment, thanks!
Thank you very much, appreciate the kind words! Yeah, It should be out this week. Testing one out now. I plan on doing more boom arms in the future though. There is so many choices for them.
Hi Caleb. Neither mic seems all that impressive and I personally wouldn’t use the adjective great to describe them. 😄 the one with the usb cable sticking out the back would absolutely drive me nuts. The other one was too low for an average sized person to sit 8” away. I feel these mics ought be reviewed as is and not for potentially being used with a boom arm. I recently bought a FiFine 678 for $54 and it’s been very nice. It’s solid metal, sits up high, has both a volume and a gain knob as well as a mute button and light. It can also be boom mounted. I use this with my video conferencing calls for work and also multi hour training calls when I don’t want to wear a headset. Btw, you can also plug a headset into it. People tell me my voice comes through very clear and at the right level and they can hear themselves through my external speaker when I have the gain set correctly.
Yeah, that is why I tested them on the desk and then held them up to my mouth showing how it would sound both ways. I personally think they sound good. I have not tested a wide variety of microphones though, so I don't know everything there is on offer. I might have to check out the FiFine 678 though, sounds like a nice microphone.
@@CalebThornton I feel like the one mic that we could barely hear you even with the gain turned up wouldn’t be a good choice, in my opinion. If the company is designing and building these as desktop mics they ought to be able to be used properly that way and bot need and additional piece of hardware that might not fit everyone’s need to get the right sound. Other important features I believe are a mute button, a mute indicator, and actual buttons or knobs for volume and gain. Having to open an app to control these isn’t optimal especially when there are other better quality mics for the same prices that come with these. I’m looking forward to your review of mic arms because that’s my next purchase. 😃. Keep up the good work Caleb.
Boom arm doesnt work as well. I downloaded the RTX voice and NVIDIA Broadcast softwares..when turning on noise removal you can clap 10 cm in front of the HyperX without hearing anything. But as soon as you start talking it picks up on every word. So I would recommend the HyperX :D
hey dude, i'm planning to buy the solo cast and my system unit supports either rtx voice or nvidia broadcast. Are u sure that it fix the vibrations and other background noises using these software?
What I learned 5 minutes in razer mic picks up way less background noise so if you are a UA-camr or Twitch streamer definitely get the razer mic. Hyper picks up more sound so if you have a quiet keyboard or mic and minimal background noise I would recommend the hyper x. And for discord, if your friends don't get annoyed by the background noise you might be better of with hyper x but if you already struggle with keeping down background noise I would recommend the mini also when gaming background noise doesn't get in the way. Also, hyper x might be better with a boom arm because its harder to pick up vibrations farther away from the keyboard/ computer vibration.
Hey, I am a noob in audio recording, I really can't notice the vibrations, it could be just that I don't know where to focus, but it is clear that you are talking about you use of the keyboard, if I am narrating something and purposely not writing anything on the keyboard, would it make a difference? Which would you choose if you are fully limited to just reading stuff outloud and not using your keyboard?
I was sitting on the front edge of my chair leaning forward while filming. I don't normally sit like this when I'm at my desk. Thanks for reminder though.
Yeah should be no difference. Just going to depend on what the other person is listening to you on as well, like how nice there headphones are or whatever
Which would you recommend if you're looking for a solid, compact microphone to leave connected to a hub for my 2021 MBPro 14" powered desktop setup, for FaceTime and online/virtual meetings? My goal is to have something that blends into the smaller corner desk setup I have in my office. Thank you!
I recently purchased the razer seiren mini it’s a very good microphone also u can make it pick up your voice better and it’s already good at cutting out background sound but I made it so it doesn’t pick up any at all not even my keyboard and mouse which is sitting right behind my microphone on the desk and I use steel series gg to change mic settings a little
I got the Solocast yesterday and I immediately tried it and upon doing so, it cannot hear the keyboard while Im talking. Slight tavle tapping yes, but the keyboard not really. Maybe I havent really tried it but now? It picks my voice for the majority

dude how tell my how u do that content and u have that subs???? u are to good mate
Haha thank you very much!
The HyperX is going nutty with desk and background noise. I think the Seiren is gonna be great on a Boom Arm.
Thanks for the typing test. I have the same problem with the rode NT mini USB, it picks up so much rumble from typing, it is unusable.
Caleb Thornton which one is best for you?
I don't know what to choose (I would use them mainly for discord and for OBS)
It’s crazy out that you had music in the background while you tested the microphones 😅😵💫
Caleb, I'm looking for budget mic for mukbang ASMR. What would you recommend?
Just do not plug in micro and camera
I recently purchased the razer seiren mini it’s a very good microphone also u can make it pick up your voice better and it’s already good at cutting out background sound but I made it so it doesn’t pick up any at all not even my keyboard and mouse which is sitting right behind my microphone on the desk and I use steel series gg to change mic settings a little
Well, I already have the SoloCast so it's a good thing I've already ordered a boom arm and shock mount.
Awesome review, new sub, whats your mouse pad? Love it!
Can I place these mics under the monitor to save space instead of in front of the keyboard? How much that affect the quality?
I've seen a video of someone doing that and both pickup the sound of the keyboard when you type. If you don't mind that then the sound is still good
Hyper x solo cast or boya pm 500 and is it compatible with iPhone?
Note: Discords noise suppression hides pretty much all the background noise including the keyboard noise on the hyperX solocast
Good
it works on any desired microphone*
@@iBehalez It does, although it may or may not be recommended depending on the mic. Let me know if you have anymore questions :)
Thanks for the info
Very complete and useful review! You just got yourself a new sub man, keep it up 🤗
Thanks!
u need more subs omg
haha thanks
Would you recommend the razer seiren mini or the samson meteor mic?
Thanks.
What if I have a boom arm with the Solocast for $10 extra?
I got the Solocast yesterday and I immediately tried it and upon doing so, it cannot hear the keyboard while Im talking. Slight tavle tapping yes, but the keyboard not really. Maybe I havent really tried it but now? It picks my voice for the majority
