[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would consider myself an average gamer, and I primarily use my PS4 (occasionally use my PC) for online gaming with my friends and streaming. I was looking for a microphone that would deliver an exceptionally high-quality experience and more importantly enhance my game play. The Hyperx Quadcast Standalone Microphone is great for many reasons. Particularly, I like the fact that I can use the Quadcast Microphone either on my PS4 or on my PC (it does also support Mac users). It does come with a very long USB cord (over 9 feet), headphone jack connection, and an amazingly effective anti-vibration shock mount. The sensitivity of the microphone is amazing as I have not even noticed any mic drops during my lengthy sessions. The tap-to-mute feature is awesome! It is incredibly easy to use. The Hyperx Quadcast Microphone has a feature where an LED light illuminates (or not) which indicates broadcast status, but I have yet to utilize this feature. While I hope I won’t have to use it, I love that the Hyperx Quadcast stands by their product with a 2-year warranty (I am used to electronics coming with only a 90-day warranty). Would recommend this Hyperx Quadcast Microphone for any novice or avid gamer who wants to "up their game."

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could barely wait to get this out of the box when it finally arrived. First of all the mic is the perfect amount of weighty. It is USB powered and stand alone which makes it a hit in my book already. Add to the fact that it is quickly led readable and were checking more boxes. BUT then they added this feature.... A single tap to the top of the mic will enable and disable the mute feature and is indicated by a red glow behind metal mesh. Gain control is located at the bottom and the entire microphone and is suspension mounted to prevent any undesirable vibrations from being picked up. I just upped my live game by two hundred percent. To finish off this amazing package the thing is pro looking... Vicious and looks good in my live stream videos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I bought this about a month ago and it really does alot of things not just a microphone. And u can switch between 4 people. My son uses it on his ps4. And it lights up and u can tap the top of it to pause it. It is really worth it you can use it for a podcast between 4 people. I totally recommend getting this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting up the microphone was very easy. Just plugged it into my PC via included USB and it was ready. It can also be adaptable to a third party mic stand or boom, which will be handy once I need one. The shock mount and stand it comes with is definitely sturdy enough though and it has an anti-slip material on the bottom to help keep it from moving around. To test out the mic, I connected to an online video chat with family. The audio was heard loud and clearly to them with no problems. Bumping into the table and moving the mic around, didn't affect the audio, so the shock mounts did their job. Being able to mute by just tapping the top of the mic is a great feature. The glowing red light is a helpful indicator that the mic is on, then when tapped, the light turns off. Since this mic will be used for crafting tutorial videos, I wanted to test out the recording. I’m still pretty new with recording videos, but the playback was great for what I need it for. I haven't used the polar patterns yet, but the ability to switch through 4 different patterns will be useful for recording different types of videos, e.g. one on one interviews or group talks. I believe this the HyperX would be a great mic for anyone looking to start doing podcasts, videos, recording game play, or just chatting online.

If you have trouble deciding getting this compared to other past lead sellers. Look no further. Best Quality USB mic you can ever get!

This microphone is so amazing it picks up really good audio!!! Definitely worth the money.
