Apogee Hype Mic for Microphones

First of all I would like to say that it fits my MacBook that I have :) I have not used my new microphone until today; However, I had an older version of this mic and know its quality. I am really looking forward to practicing vocals with this microphone. I like the fact that it's small and compact while still delivering the great surround sound I need. I know I made the right choice in purchasing this microphone for my specific needs. Upset!

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Compatibility

Do not use any accessories

I recently bought a microphone (Apogee Hype Mic) and the Revain website didn't state that the product already comes with accessories, which prompted me to purchase some accessories separately. That means I bought twice and (plus $349 for the microphone) plus $31 spent unnecessarily on "Apogee MiC Stand Adapter" and "Aokeo Professional Microphone Pop Filter". Revain should give me back this wasted money.

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

This microphone will capture the richness of your voice!

I'm a singer and I perform with my band. When quarantine was put in place and everything was shut down, I needed an outlet for my music. After doing a little research I decided to buy the Apogee Hype Mic hoping for better voice quality than what my iPhone can offer. I was not disappointed. This mic records vocals with built-in compression. The condenser does not generate any background noise and it is very easy to use.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Good but not great

Reliable street microphone; exceeds expectations

I travel a lot for business and end up in hotel rooms to make videos for work. This is an absolutely great mic for situations like this. It's not as good as my main pick (the $3,000 Neumann U87), but that's to be expected. Sounds great no matter what. and excellent tolerability. It comes with a great travel case that contains a microphone, a tripod, and three cables (a mini USB to USB-C, a mini USB to USB-A, and a mini USB to Lightning), a pop screen, and a small Allen key contains. a tripod…

Pros
  • looking forward to
Cons
  • vaguely remembering

Generally satisfied, but the RODE mic seems better

Full disclosure. I first bought a Rode NT-USB condenser microphone and was very impressed with the sound quality. However, I had to return it as it didn't have a manual audio gain indicator and I found that the audio gain changed automatically when recording in Windows 10 and Google Chrome. Unfortunately I returned this mic due to this issue and after reading the reviews I decided on this mic. This microphone solves the problem of no audio auto gain by having a manual knob to control the audio…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Functionality
