ElgatoPro Audio Set - Premium USB Condenser Microphone with Shock Mount, Pop Filter and Low Profile Mic Arm, for Streaming, Podcast, Gaming and Home Office, Free Mixer Software, for Mac, PC

This is the cheapest way to get access to the Elgato Wave Link software suite, which is perfect for routing audio around your PC for use in live streaming. The quality is amazing, almost indistinguishable from my more expensive studio grade mic.

This is an excellent mid-range microphone for streaming and meetings - my voice sounds better and richer compared with my build-in pc microphone. It feels weighty and substantial and sits neatly on my desk - perfect!

The media could not be loaded. I bought the Elgato Wave Neo for my home office to use during work-related webinars and webcasts, and I’m really pleased with it. The sound quality is noticeably better than using headphones or my monitor’s built-in mic, so it’s been a worthwhile upgrade. I’d feel confident using it for an amateur podcast - it’s not a professional-grade mic, but for the price, it delivers great quality.One criticism is that the mute button is very sensitive. More than once, I accidentally muted myself just by adjusting the mic, and only realised when someone said, “We can’t hear you anymore.” The mute button is positioned on the top, but because the mic head rotates 360 degrees, I’ve started turning it so the button is on the bottom to avoid accidental touches.The USB cable can get in the way a little depending on your setup, but it connects really well to my MacBook Pro and works straight out of the box. It’s definitely not as convenient as a Bluetooth mic, but for the price, you get excellent wired performance. I’ve also included a short video showing how easily the mic rotates and just how sensitive the mute button is.

Very good

I ordered this mic to just use when talking to friends on my Windows PC and it works great.It was very simple to set up, the stand just screws together in 3 pieces and I believe the screw on the mic is standard so you can use your own mount. The stand is very nice, it is quite small so doesn't take up much space with a weighted bottom which allows the mic to sturdily sit on your desk at about the right height to speak into.You then connect it to your PC with the included USB cable. The port on the ic is USB-C so you could use your own cable if you want more reach but this cable is a nice, white braided cable which matches the mic and has a nice rubber piece that slots into the port on the mic giving a clean finish. The stand then has a little rubber piece with 2 grooves allowing you to attach the wire to it making cable management much easier.The reason it has 2 grooves is that the mic also has an AUX out port for connecting headphones. This is nice as it means you have more reach with your headphones over plugging them into your PC. Once you have everything set up, the mic works great. It was found as a sound input by windows right away and you don't need any drivers or anything.The sound quality of the mic is great. You sound clear and very easy to hear. Even with the mic further away on my desk, it was still easy to hear what I was saying nice and clearly. There is even a nice big led mute button, you tap it to mute or unmute and it changes to red when muted or white when unmuted which means no more awkward moments forgetting to mute your mic as it is very clear to see.Overall, this mic is great and the design makes it great for streaming, gaming or even use in professional work for conference calls etc. I would highly recommend it.

This is the fourth condenser microphone I have reviewed on Amazon (although I have owned several others too), but this Elgato Wave Neo is probably the best I have owned for the price. I have in the past had high-end brands like RODE and Blue Yeti, as well as unknown cheap brands. For the current price of £89.99 I think you get a great bargain.This is a solidly designed and manufactured mic. It comes in a nicely presented fully recyclable branded cardboard box. There is some initial assembly required, but it takes a matter of seconds to put together. Once set up, away you can go. I have tested this mic using both a MacBook Pro and a Lenovo PC-based Laptop. The software I have used this with is Logic Pro, Audacity and a Zoom call. With both types of hardware, it was a simple "plug-in and play". No need for any firmware or app to download, and no need for a pre-amp etc additional hardware.It delivers warm and assertive broadcast sound and rejects unwanted background noise for perfect recordings. It appears to have a decent frequency response, which allows the Wave Neo to capture more details of vocal sound and it can deliver a rich balanced sound for users. So whether you are podcasting, gaming or just using it for better sound in Teams, Zoom, etc type calls, this is a fantastic bit of kit.Improved and removable foam windscreen and internal pop filter can minimize plosives, ideal for close-mic applications, it makes your vocal recordings into another level. The whole metal body guarantees solid construction and can resist signal interference.
