HyperX DuoCast – RGB USB Condenser Microphone for PC, PS5, PS4, Mac, Low-profile Shock Mount, Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Pop Filter, Gain Control, Gaming, Streaming, Podcasts, Twitch, YouTube, Discord

I’ve been using this HyperX microphone for my YouTube videos, and overall, it’s been pretty great. The audio quality is clear, and it does a good job picking up my voice without much background noise. It’s super easy to set up, which I really appreciate—just plug it in and go. The design looks cool, especially with the lighting, and it feels sturdy on my desk. That said, I did notice it picks up some desk vibrations if I bump into it, but nothing too major. For the price, it’s a solid mic for beginner to intermediate content creators. If you’re looking for something reliable and stylish without breaking the bank, this is a good choice!

I love, love, love this microphone! One of my hypnosis clients used it in her session (I do my sessions on Zoom) and the sound was crystal clear and she had it stationed above her so I just had to get it. It is SO good and so clear and I could not be happier. It really does block out all the background noise. I will sit right next to it typing notes as the client is speaking and you cannot hear the clicking of my keyboard and the clients cannot hear my dog when it occasionally barks either. Super happy with this.

I bought this mic for my son and it came broken part of the plastic, I wrote this because the seller sent another one immediately. The mic is amazing quality has great lights and works great with his gaming. It has a mute button easily assesible. This mic is worth the money and this seller is great! So make sure you get it from them. We’ve had it a couple years as well so long quality.

To get the obvious out of the way, the microphone looks and sounds great. It has a lot of great features that some of the more expensive ones have, and generally speaking is just a very good value proposition. I don't want to diminish the pros this microphone has, but I want to mention what I noticed that didn't live up to my expectations, which to be fair might be totally unjustified on my part. I have a pair Bose Companion II computer speakers on my desk, and ideally I'd like to use this microphone for any voice needed purposes (zoom, but also perhaps screen recording and/or streaming). I was hoping that it'd be possible to use this microphone in tandem with the PC speakers, but no matter what I do I cannot prevent the microphone from picking up these sounds. This means I effectively need to have earbuds or headphones to use it, which further reduces the value of microphones such as this. If you are looking for an "upgrade" over perhaps a webcam with built in microphone for Zoom calls or whatnot, I'd suggest you look elsewhere unless you are already committed to using a headset with such a microphone. I feel somewhat unfair docking a star for the inability to completely remove the background noise from my own speakers, but I don't feel like many other reviews talk about non-standard or non-optimal use cases for this microphone and I'd prefer these things be mentioned somewhere.

Very pleased with this microphone - I don't do anything fancy, I just like to have nice clean audio for work and playing games with friends. My favorite feature by far is the light indication the microphone is muted and unmuted, along with the tap to mute on the top of the microphone (side when it is setup so that you talk OVER it, and not directly into it). I am coming from the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro headset - it has the indicator light for when your microphone is muted and a mute button on the headset, so this was a must for me. So many of my friends will be silent in Discord and not realize that they are muted, so I think these features need to be more common. Overall, great quality, people immediately noticed and agreed that this microphone sounds a lot better. I am just using it with NVIDIA Broadcast on my main PC, and have an OBS Studio setup on my work computer with some filters. I did not even try HyperX's software because NVIDIA's noise cancellation is just too good.

I've bought this mic solely for video conferencing and it does its job really well. I was initially concerned with having an echo, as I wanted to get rid of the headphones during long hours of meetings at work. However, I'm pleased to confirm that there's no echo whatsoever in any video conferencing software I use (GMeet, Zoom and Teams), although I've got a speaker right behind the mic. Initially I was surprised that their software isn't available for Mac, however I found out that it's not really required for my needs at least as everything was working perfectly straight out of the box. I literally haven't changed a single setting and was able to jump straight into the meeting with my voice being heard "crisp and clear" as reported by everyone I talked to with since I bought this mic. Additional bonus for "touch to mute/unmute" functionality. It's much easier to use than searching for mute button within the conferencing software. Also you're not shown as "muted", which might be both a con or a pro depending on your use case, just something to be aware of.

Great for the price. It is a great all-around mic for someone who does everything from gaming with friends online to recording music. Highly recommended for the average user. There are probably better options for higher end mics, but it really is a great mid-range mic.

Muy buen micrófono, comparado con otros incluso más caros.
