This is hands down one of (if not the) best reviews for this mic. Not only did you compare it with the lowed tier HyperX mic, but you also brought attention to the arm screw thread size which is SUPER important. Total kudos do you, ma'am. =D
i got black HyperX Quadcast S just for the rgb effect but i really like it for the overall quality and features, i love it. thnx for reviewing the white one!!
There’re many videos of HyperX Quad Cast S but I can’t find woman voice versions. I could know how women voice hear through this mic from your video. Thanks for good video! I also want this mic!!
I’m glad I could help! Thanks for watching
Tbh the mic is a little expensive but it looks so clean and sounds great too, I’ll be picking it up soon!
Both microphones are a fantastic choice, however where the quadcast has more features the duocast has better recording quality. though it is very hard to deny the beauty of the quadcast i just bought a duocast because i like the better quality and i am a vtuber so people won't be seeing my mic much lol.
still this was a wonderful review and I like your content alot! :)
Been looking to upgrade my microphone and this review video helped me make my decision. Just finalized my order and it arrives on Tuesday 😊
Got the RGB version for 180 bucks at best buy Canada. Great quality and visual aesthetics!
its at 149 rn
@@MIKE-yq1co 180cad, 149 is usd or the “non s version”
Thanks for the review, i needed to see the sound differences between the two mics(beacause these mics are a little bit expensive right here in Brazil, and i think i gonna buy the duocast, but omg the quadcast is so beautiful)
Got the Quadcast S for 80 bucks a couple weeks ago without knowing the Duocast dropped and although i like how the Duocast is smaller and more convenient to avoid clutter in front of the screen I just like how the RGB mesh looks too much. It does sound a tiny bit better too but honestly the whole HyperX range of USB Mics are great. Love the white edition, suits your aesthetics so well c:
Really good review 👌 keep it up.
They are fantastic options for mics! Since I’ve never used them before until now, I’m actually really impressed by the quality
I don't like USB mics tbh. It's great if you're a solo streamer, but personally I just prefer having a good audio interface and normal XLR mics. I would even argue that most people's talking voices are going to be better suited to an SM58 or one of it's clones than to any condenser mic too. The advantage of an SM58 clone is you can get a pair of them and an audio interface for the price of a lot of higher end XLR mics and you have *two* mics- which means you can have a guest on your show, record an instrument, etc etc.. the fact that this doesn't have an XLR port makes it even worse for me, since we've seen USB mics in the past that have XLR. Which is truly the ideal mic configuration. :P
That’s fair! I posted a video the other day about the Elgato Wave DX dynamic mic and Wave XLR if you’re interested 😁
The duocast has better specs. I think if you're just using cardioid it will sound best with some tweaking, and considerably cheaper. Weird that the Quadcast only has a 16 bit depth. I also think the Duocast looks better. I had the Quadcast and returned it because that little dark area in the RBG was driving me nuts. The 4 pick up patterns is a lame selling point, considering 99.9% of gamers will only use cardioid.
Did you get the white one? I have the black one and there really isn't a noticeable dark spot
Hi Liessshy! Ah my goodness, whoa good work and that is a fair and nice review. That is a wonderful cool design microphone. I hope you have a Happy Sunday! :)
It’s a really cool design, isn’t it? Thanks Will! Have a great day
@@Liessshy Thank you, it is perfect and your welcome! :D
How god works in so many ways because this week my Blue Yeti basically broke after a year of using it and Ive been wanting to do voice over work for my videos since I like doing video essays and seeing this video show up on my feed today after feeling defeated is incredible. Definitely buying this one for a birthday present haha
Oh! I hope you're ok and no longer feel defeated!
Wow that’s crazy cause I just picked up the quadcast s in this exact color this week. Absolutely love it so far. Great video as always liesh!! When we getting another stream btw?
It’s a dope mic!
Streams will be back hopefully this week or next. Currently dealing with some personal issues due to a family passing.
@@Liessshy I’m sorry to hear that my condolences to you liesh.
Hey there !
I just bought it , fresh opened right now . I'm so glad to see your review , really help to understand and realise I done the right decision.
Especially when someone is a audiophile, easy notice the difference.
Thanks for the review.
Keep up the good job. 😎
I got the white one too, comes tomorrow. Yay :) Great review
the music is louder than the vocals put a limiter o a compressor on the music track or just turn down the volume.
I totally agree with some of the other comments here I love seeing a woman do a review on a microphone. it always just seems to be men. love to see more women represented in audio and microphone reviews! honestly just youtube in general I hope the best for your channel.
Thank you for the lovely words
@@Liessshyno problem at all!
You are so underrated on youtube....you deserve more than this....i started with pb310 video....good luck keep it up 🔥🔥
Finally! A girl giving a review. I hate that it’s mainly men talking about settings 😭
Im glad you found me! 💗
It's the misandry for me
@@ProXAcer it’s not misandry to want a women to give an opinion. Men and women have different tonal inflections and pitches in their voices. The settings a guy might use may not be the ones a women does. Good reach though.
@@chimkennuggiee Ah i see where I'm wrong now, pardon me for my mistake and have a good day 👍
@@ProXAcerthis is kind of random but a lot of other RUclips users would have argued over that, and you didn’t gud job
hey liessshy I just got the microphone and I've noticed it doesn't sound like yours, like yours sounds a lot more clear, less buzzing idk what's wrong with mine or if I have to do something extra. id appreciate if you could help since your quality sounds very good but I record in Logitech and use the mic but it sounds like weird.
1st time i watch one of your videos in this i love it, i just got mine 2 days ago and the white color is so gorgeous, the sound is amazing same with al those features and patterns, the RGB is a plus and looks awesome 👌 I just subscribed to your channe and also in Twitch I'm gonna start to create content and streaming also but little by little, enjoy the microphone 🎤
Thank you so much! I appreciate your lovely comment 💕
Hello Liessshy, thank you for this video.
Can you tell me how you put the animated black board at 5:04 ? and also at 5:50 ? What did you use? Powerpoint?
Thank you very much.
I edit videos with Final Cut Pro and I purchase plug ins which is what this is :)
@@Liessshy Thank you for your answer.
Where can I find similar plugins? Do you have the name of it or the name of websites I can buy this on?
thank you Liessshy !
Hello,
Thank you for this very informative video.
I love your boom arm, can you give us the reference please?
Thhank you very much.
I did buy this mic strictly because you did the review. Very well review!!!
Good to hear! Thank you so much
My fellow humans if y'all do want that boom arm and the that mic and can just buy the (Mic Thread Adapter) so you can fit that mic on that boom
Hi I seem to be very late on the review here, and great video! but I just bought mine the other day and noticed that it picks up my mouse clicks and keyboard very easily. When using OBS to stream or record, I have active noise gates that stop those sounds. But do you know of any ways to prevent them from being heard by other people when I'm playing games using open mic?
HI I NOW ASLO HAVE THE HYPERX QUADCAST S TOO IN BLACK
I have the black version non rgb and now want this white version ugh,
Would this mic be good when speaking quiet without a clamp on the desk to raise it? So with the stand it comes with basically
I’m not an Audio expert but If it’s closer to your face (so if you can raise it up on a box or a pile of books etc) it will benefit you more as you may get a more quiet sound being so away from the mic. Then if you raise your gain levels too high to compensate for your voice being far away, you’ll let too much background noise in. So it’s going to be a bit of trial and error to get it just right for you.
It would have been a waste of time to test the microphone while using the keyboard. Does the microphone record them or do they go unheard (as would be good).
6:26 how you just disappear and look so intensely at the dial was funny. amazing review answered all the question i had about it and more. 👍
does anyone know what boom arm she has for the quadcast?
Just got mine todayyy
Cool, enjoy!!
Hi I’m very new to using a microphone, I have played games on my iMac using bootcamp or just the mac itself. I am wondering when I film myself how do I use the headphones and the microphone so people can hear the game and hear me? It might sound ridiculous but I am very new with this. I want to do twitch and RUclips when I am confident with using a mic.
could you have the quadcast set up by the monitor and use it when you're talking to your mates while gaming? I'm tired of the shit headset mics that just sound like trash and is a hassle to go back and return it.
doesn't it come with mount adapters, i dont think using that lp arm should have been an issue.
DUDE what is that computer case?! its so sick!!
Its the Thermaltake AH T600 case in snow :)
@@Liessshy tysm and ty for the review!!! Subbed :)
Great review along with the original Duocast video. Cheers.
Hey. Can I mount it to any microphone arm or just the weak hyperx one?
How did you connected the microphone with the Camera ?
Have you tried the side tone on this microphone. I dont know why but i cant get it work. I have tried to use the cable but its not working. Older model was same...no sidetone. I just bought this new model because it has the Ngenuity app for mic monitoring...but it doesnt work. And yes i have tried to use "listen this device option in windows...but the delay makes it horrible. I have Steelseries Pro wireless headset, not sure do i need headset with wire to get this work...
I have a quadcast s paired with a rode PSA-1+
is the hyperX quad cast better than the quad cast S
DAMN, your original microphone is 10x better lol. What is that? Haha.
Do you plug the microphone into your computer or the camera you use?
Into the computer. I record separate audio
@@Liessshy Thanks! Great review! I'm convinced, it looks super cool.
So would you use the cardiod setting for gaming?
If you're using this as a chat mic for party chat, then yes so it doesn't pick up background noise as much
Hey wats thats boom arm you got
Elgato Wave Arm LP
Is it good for streaming as well? :) I've heard it can switch between 4 mic profiles? Is it good? :)
Can you tilt the mic down to a like 90 degree angle?
If you have the correct boom arm and thread size, I can’t see why not
@@Liessshy sorry my English is not good. What if I buy only the mic and place it on the table? Can it turn and position downward without other accessories?
I’m not sure sorry. I haven’t used the stand it comes with in a long time so I can’t remember. I think you can tilt it down
@@Liessshy thank you 🙏🏻
Please, does this mic work on Samsung s21 ultra when I film or record video with the front camera from the camera app on the phone itself?
I’m not sure sorry. I don’t have that phone to test it
does the mic cut your voice when you scream?
The mic that she told you not to worry about.
The Quadcast S seems better in every single way.. but the Duocast is the one with 96khz support. 😭 😂 My OCD brain thinks it should be the exact opposite, haha.
Saaaaaaame
good review 👍
this mic is my dream ☺️
Wow i love it hyperX microphone
Quadcast S for $120 or Duocast for $70?
what webcam do you use to stream? plz help😩
I use a Sony ZV-E10 camera, not a webcam!
Nice video!
is it good for gaming
Which is better duocast or the black red quadcast ?
I haven't used the standard quadcast, but if I'm not mistaken, there's not many differences between this one and that one, so I'd still say the Quad, but the Duo is so good for what it is. If you only need the 2 polar patterns that the Duo offers, then it's worth it
@@Liessshy ive heard that people say the sound quality that you get with duocast is better than the quadcast.. im not sure about that , can you confirm that for me? as for your quadcast s , which sounds better, im looking for a red setup so i really want the red quadcast.. but if the duocast sounds better maybe i can go with that but im not sure , what do you think and recommend ???
also thank you for replying !!! subbed to you
You got a discount code for the quadcast S?
Unfortunately not!
It's so annoying, we don,t need 4 patterns. The sound is a bit better, but for the difference of price, the quadcast is not worth it. I don,t wanna pay for pattenrs I don,t need even if I prefer the design.
That’s fair! You should look at the DuoCast instead if you are thinking of going down the Hyper X path (I have a review on that too if need be) 😊
@@Liessshy Yes thank you, i've watched it just before haha!
Thanks for the support! I hope you find the best mic for you 🥳😄
@@Liessshy Thanks for your wishes and replies! While I am here, I may also warn you and other people, i just tried a Fifine, 669 I think (with the tripod), and it was shit. There was a loud static noise that came from the mic itself, so it didn't appear as noise on OBS while recording, but it was there. Nothing to do about it! So I returned it. I hope this one (duocast) doesn't have that, I just ordered it.
How in white
i got this and it sounded like i was in a washing machine :/
What mic arm do you use?
I literally talk about it in the video
what mount are you using ?
I explained that in the video.
Is there a way to turn off the rgb ?
In the hyper x software you can
Can it connect with Xbox
That skat tat tho
??
Hi name bras pls
Your lightning is amazing! What lights do you use if I may ask and your web camera? Thank you! 🖤
Thank you! This is an old video so things are a little different now, but I would have been using the Elgato Key Lights and my Sony ZVE10 as the webcam.
@@Liessshy yeah I realized it was old but I’m so happy you responded thank you!🫶🏻
@Kit-lr3wh that’s ok! I did just post a room tour video if you want to see the set up and lighting I rock now
