Elgato Wave Neo – USB Condenser Microphone, Tap to Mute, for Gaming, Streaming, Meetings, Voice Recording on Teams/Zoom/OBS/Twitch/YouTube & more, Plug-’n-Play, Works on Laptop, PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone

The Elgato Wave Neo is proof that you don't need a bulky, complicated setup to get professional-grade voice quality. It fits perfectly into a clean, modern desk aesthetic while delivering top-tier performance. • True Plug-and-Play: I tested this on my Mac and iPad, and it worked instantly. No extra drivers or complicated software are needed to start sounding great on Zoom, Teams, or OBS. • Superior Voice Clarity: The condenser capsule captures a very natural and warm tone. It does an excellent job of isolating the voice, making it sound crisp and clear without that "hollow" room echo. • The "Tap-to-Mute" Feature: This is a lifesaver. The capacitive mute sensor on the front is super responsive, and the LED ring gives you immediate visual feedback so you’re never "muted" by mistake during a meeting. • Internal Pop Filter: I love that it has an internal shield to reduce those annoying "P" and "B" sounds (plosives). It keeps the design sleek without needing a messy external pop filter. • Elegant & Elevated: The included stand is the perfect height to sit on a desk without blocking your screen, and the white finish looks premium and sophisticated compared to traditional black mics. Verdict: If you want a microphone that looks as good as it sounds and values simplicity over a million buttons, the Wave Neo is the best USB mic in its class.

This mic is easy to use, high quality, and completely worth it's price. It's improved my recordings!!!

absolute banger microphone. my only gripe is the mute-tap feature on the front, my cat LOVES to reach up and bat at the white light, and its REALLY easy to bump the mic and mute yourself without knowing it. Love that you can plug your headphones into the back, makes it easier for me cause i don't also have to try and stretch my headphone cable across my desk. really makes me feel like a sports announcer or something.

I've had a number of Blue Yeti mics and, for years, have generally preferred Amazon Basics Professional Condenser Microphones over the Blue Yeti. The audio quality from the Elgato Wave Neo mic is on par with the Blue Yeti and Amazon Professional Condenser mic. It has a cardioid pattern that, as far as I can tell, is not adjustable to other patterns. So, it does lack some features that those other mics have, but I don't do face-to-face interviews or anything, so my mics are ALWAYS set to cardioid anyway. The mic has audio out, but my understanding is that this is just a nearby 3.5mm jack for headphones and it is NOT an audio monitor jack for hearing yourself. I've generally preferred the Amazon mic over the Blue Yeti because of the OLED display. That sounds silly, but it's a great way to see when my mic is muted. I have, for years, used my Stream Deck to toggle my mic mute back and forth and I liked how the OLED was always in sync with that status. I know the Blue Yeti had a mute capability but clicking things on microphones to mute/unmute almost always introduces noise that the other end can hear, so I've always gone with the software solution instead. Fast forward to this Elgato Wave Neo, and my process is changing a bit. I've stopped using my Stream Deck to toggle mute because the Elgato has a capacitive touch button to mute/unmute which turns a light white/red based on status. It's a VERY touch-sensitive button, which I like because I can barely touch it (or not even touch it) to mute/unmute so there's no bumping of the mic. This frees up a Stream Deck button and is nicer/more obvious mute display. Plus, the mic is easily the best looking mic I've ever seen. It no longer looks like hardware pulled from the local radio station but looks sleek and stylish. Plus, USB C. No more Micro USB falling out of the Amazon mic when I bump my desk wrong. It's a weird boot (for aesthetics) on the USB cable that plugs into the mic, but I think a normal cable would work just fine, as well. Overall, yes, I'd highly recommend this mic. In fact, I prefer this over all other mics I've had so far. And it is EASILY the best-looking mic available!

It’s a nice mic audio and aesthetics wise, but it’s a little flimsy and wiggles a lot

Incredibly surprised with the quality of this mic. I heard that in an untreated room it's better to go with dynamic mics but honestly this one does a fantastic job for the average gamer and for an amazing price. Honestly surprised it didn't cost more than it did because it's probably the best mic I've owned and cheaper too. Sound quality is better when using the WaveLink software made for Elgato mics. With the software it doesn't even really pick up my loud keyboard even though I have yet to get a boom arm for it. The mute button is easy to press and identify and overall the mic looks very sleek, stylish and minimalistic.

worked well from june-january, now it keeps muting and unmuting on its own. at times it will mute itself then wont let me unmute it. Other times it says it is muted but people can still hear me. It's never gotten wet, dropped, or anything like that. When its working the sound quality is great! but it just doesnt last very long. Maybe mine is defective, but thats my expirience with this mic.

I'm not a professional. I want to sound good while gaming with my friends online. Before I purchased this mic I was using an XLR mic and interface, and I could never get it to sound good. In contrast, setting up the Elgato was very easy and it sounded great out of the box. I think this microphone costs a third of what I paid for that other stuff, but it outperforms it handily and gets rid of some desk clutter too. I was able to attach this microphone to my existing mic arm I got a long time ago, but it also comes with a nice weighted desktop stand. The Wave Link software you are entitled to with this microphone is great, allowing you to install plug-ins. I have it going to Nvidia Broadcast first, then back into Wave Link to run through its own noise suppression and a condenser (both VERY easy to set up for those who know nothing). This has brought the clacking sound of my mechanical keyboard to nearly imperceptible levels while I'm talking and silent while I'm not talking. My only lament is that I wish it came in black so it would match my desk, mic arm, and peripherals, but it's otherwise so good that I can happily live with a slightly tacky look.

Elgato a fait des digneurs avec leurs produits Neo. Entre la qualité de fabrication, la finition, la qualité du micro, sans superflux et réglages inutiles, tu branches, ça fonctionne. Et le design, j'adore ! Vous avez même la possibilité de changer le bonnette en couleur, cela a un coup (c'est beaucoup trop cher, mais ça rend votre micro encore plus unique).

Il microfono, a parer mio, è il più completo sul mercato, il design è minimal, industriale che sta bene in qualsiasi postazione. Inoltre mi piace che il design si fonda perfettamente con il cavo dato in dotazione. Il microfono dispone anche di un jack per attaccarci le cuffie, per sentire, oltre all'audio del PC, la vostra voce senza ritardi. La funzione più bella, secondo me, è il software integrato wawe link, che vi permette di non solo controllare l'audio del microfono, ma anche quello di tutte le periferiche del PC. Il software oltre a farvi modificare l'audio del PC e del microfono, vi permette di aggiungere dei plugin, molti gratuiti, altri a pagamento. I plugin gratuiti sono per esempio il compressore, l'equalizzatore e i filtri per la voce fatti in collaborazione con fallout. I plugin sono acquistabili nel elgato market Place. Insomma, questo microfono oltre ad avere una fantastica qualità audio, dispone di tantissime funzionalità che lo rende completo. Inutile dire che lo consiglio

Great entry point for a quality microphone

Excelente calidad del producto y precio adecuado

Wie bereits im Titel erwähnt, finde Ich, dass das Design des Mikrofons echt cool und modern ist. Aber auch die Qualität des Sounds ist wirklich top. Die Bedienung bzw. das anschließen ist extremst leicht und funktioniert so gut wie an jedem Gerät, welches ein USB-Port besitzt. Auch die Software bietet noch einige Einstellmöglichkeiten, um den Sound an seine Umgebung anzupassen! Eignet sich perfekt für casuals, aber auch für Content Creator und Gamer ^^
