Review on Razer Seiren X USB Streaming Microphone: Professional Grade - Built-In Shock Mount - Supercardiod Pick-Up Pattern - Anodized Aluminum - Quartz Pink by Brooke Parker

Revainrating 2 out of 5

But it's really pretty.

I bought this and sent it back because the sound quality is really basic. I mean real BASIC, a mono kind of BASIC. I had a hard time making the decision to return it because it looks great, I mean really great. It also attaches to microphone stands. I'm sure their updated version must be impressive, but the sound quality is really lacking in this version. I bought the Blue Yeti but hesitated because I had so many problems with the Snowball. Yeti skipping over that mic, skipping. I liked the look of the Seiren, but in terms of sound quality I'd say it's a decent $60 mic, but it's currently overpriced. I've recorded a few clips and if I find them on my hard drive I'll upload them. This is on par with the Snowball but about 5 steps lower than the Yeti. Hope that helps. Let me know. Visit my YouTube channel if you want to see comparison videos between Snowball (older videos) and Yeti. I'm still interested in checking out SereinX because the design is so beautiful. However, if you're a 10-year-old streamer, this should be fine. Addendum 4/20: I bought a Razer Seiren Elite and now you need to speak to the top. Seiren upgraded the original Elite. Razer has addressed the shortcomings of the original Seiren Elite. The 2020 Seiren Elite does a great job of removing background noise like air conditioning etc. The high pass filter is amazing and beats the Rode NT-USB and Blue Yeti by a mile.
