Great set for online music lessons.

Great microphone. We actually use a microphone for a video conference created for drum lessons. The computer's microphone cut out during playback, so a microphone solution was needed. The anti-clipping feature is great for that. We were able to adjust the level so that voice communication and drums could be heard on set. Our son's teacher said this was the best sound he's ever had for an online student. The Wave Stream program also allows us to shuffle music tracks, so we'll stream the musicโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stock
Cons
  • Only available in black

Microphone is great Software makes it even greater

Used for streaming on Twitch. Elgato Wave 3 is designed for streamers. The easiest setup and most advanced software of any USB mic I've ever used. This isn't just a mic, it's a high quality mic that can be added to any streaming setup. Balance mic, discord, game, music and more. It's recommended to watch Elgato's 4-minute tutorial during the setup process to see what this thing is capable of. Do you know the sleeping car? Elgato turned the Sleeper Car Concept into microphone software. (Othersโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Full set
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

It's bullshit and the AT2020USB+ is the way to go

The sound quality of this mic sucks. If you want something with incredible background noise, hiss, and just plain bad experience, go for it. It wasn't a pleasant experience for me or my Twitch viewers. It's been touted as a very good mic and I'm absolutely blown away by how many people love it. I will return it as soon as possible. Save some money and go with Audio-Technica. If you're also looking for a microphone that pairs well with Nvidia Broadcast, this is definitely not the one. After 30โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • No power

First of all, in the era of COVID, it will not be easy to get. The first batch of this microphone sold out in about 3 hours. So let's get to the rating! I chose it as my first entry-level streaming/podcasting mic. Most audiophiles will say this isn't the best mic, and that's fine. It makes all of these things a little easier. You don't necessarily need a goXLR or any other mixer to use it. Elgato Wave Link software is a virtual mixer that really helps put everything together. He has the ability

Pros
  • shines
Cons
  • pisses me off

The value of this microphone has more to do with the great software than the quality of the microphone. Don't get me wrong, the mic is really good. But it's the software that really makes this product great. This software replaces your external hardware mixer with a software version that can selectively record audio from certain programs like Chrome/Brave/Firefox and filter out other audio sources like your Messenger on your computer. they are not written to the stream. The only caveat here isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

I grabbed it for some fabulous money (9500r), someone made a mistake and I got it for the price of the first version. In any case, I'm unrealistically satisfied with the purchase. The microphone is top! voice. (I use it for voice acting video) A very cool software solution in the form of a virtual mixer on which you can throw any sound source open on your computer, be it a game or a browser or music. You can choose input and output for everything. I am delighted with the purchase and recommendโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent recording quality - no noise is heard at all, overload protection is generally a top thing, it looks stylish and minimalistic, without all these RGB children's whistles, high-quality materials, convenient adjustments. Very convenient mixing console
Cons
  • No
