Great review! I wish more microphone reviewers would do a test with the microphone placed on the table, an arm's length away from the mouth. Most reviewers have them right in front of their mouths - which sounds ideal, but most people just can't be bothered to do that for casual gaming chat use.
really like how you show different setups for it, thumbs up from me !
Watching this on 2021 black friday! I bought it today for a bargain. Thanks for the detailed review and the different positioning, really helpful!
Tap To Mute was a huge reason for me to get sold on this one and also the plug and play just get working no software configuration etc.. just minimal and it does the job.
tysm! I got it for Christmas and I was wondering how to use it! btw you are super underrated.
Thank you!
Does it work with Xbox? If u know
@@clipsss2368 I’ve tried it and for me it didn’t work but I’m not sure
Does it sound good in discord?
@@kalugdanluisgabriels.2944 I’m pretty sure it does on pc discord
Very nice review. Hope you added also the test when attached to the boom arm, voice and keyboard typing experience to differentiate
Love how you show them at different positions, and you're the only one I've found that show the vibration sounds.
Quick question: Do you happen to know if those noise supression stuff get rid of the vibration sounds when using the keyboard?
Thanks - Glad you liked the video! You can probably reduce it in applications like Discord that have noise cancellation features, but it's probably best to mount it on a boom arm to get it away from the vibration.
I did actually get this instead of the raze4 seiren cquse of the mute button
Thanks bro this is the best review I've seen so far....hoping to make alot of nice content w this microphone.:)
I appreciate that!
Thank you so much for this video! I decided to buy it and it worked so well
3:08 for mic test
Thank You
Thank you
All the negatives are removed when you add RTX sound. The program removes all background noise. :)
-rtx on-
The bad thing is we need rtx graphics card to use the rtx sound
@@8bitbutcher no i dont think so i saw a vid on yt that u can use on gtx too
@@8bitbutcher nope, i have gtx and it works fine.
@@borderhopper2148 what I meant was it won't work without graphics cards
Thanks man!!! I didn’t really have a big budget and I was wondering if I should get the solo cast. I have decided to buy it !!
is it good quality im also consedring buying it
@@just_stallin8553 its very good quality ,i bought it after watching this video and the sound quality is insane
Just subbed! Very nice and in-depth review I will be purchasing this for my online studies. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the review definitely buying this and with a microphone mod app i will make it sound perfect
Tilting it to any position other than vertical, removes most of the vibration sounds.
I just tested it with Microsoft Word dictation. The red light means its on. When the light is off,
that means its muted. The dictation works well for the most part.
I would like to see how this works with a boom and the ideal distance, but based on what I saw it looks like a good entry point mic. Thanks!
UNDERRATED!
Sitting with the nari ultimate (I can legit feel the vibrations)
I got this on a discount for 45 €! The quality is so amazing for that price! :)
Whats your opinion on the mic after 1 year?
@@Mazen_Plays It is still good and works :) If u are going to update the filmare to the latest one then just dont use a any USB adapter, because it almost bricked the mic, but I did managed to fix it :)

I would like a comparison video on the seiren mini and the solocast
solo cast is better pay the extra $10 for the better build quality
plus the tap to mute is amazing
look on randomfrankp's channel he has a great vid on it ill link it for you
ruclips.net/video/6CU347TSE54/видео.html
so with this microphone you don't need a headset attached to it?
im stuck with the solocast because of the mute but also want the seiren mini because of the intergrated shock mount
hello so which one did u end up getting?
Hey man great video. Looking for my first mic for live streaming. Would you reccomend this one or the rocat torch?
I'm actually stuck between solocast and fifine k678 :D fifine have a cute stand while solocast's look great too
Fifine K678 is great
Fifine K678 is cute,too
@@Jackson-vj1si Looks like we feel the same, bro
Is this a good buy and are there any Bluetooth mics you know I was trying to find one but found this one and it looked nice and good job earned a sub
Great video! I JUST got the SoloCast this afternoon thanks to your recommendation. My one question is... is there any other onscreen controls than just the microphone volume with the NGENUITY software? I am going to be doing an interview with a producer from the BBC this Friday and don't know if there's anything ELSE that I can do to adjust the sound before them. Is there a way that I can TEST this to hear my voice though my headphones? I have both AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-M50 and GRADO sr60e headphones!
THanks for the educational video AND for any suggestions that you might have! Kevin in St. Louis
Is it possible to attach it to your phone??
I film with my phone so...
Thanks for this video review, I like the quality of this microphone and feel it's good value for money.
I run a RUclips channel with a friend wherein we record our gameplay videos 'couch co op' mode, we typically record our gameplay videos sat together a few feet in front of the TV and have (my current) microphone in front of us. I currently have to crank the gain on the microphone up as it does not pick both of us/the TV's audio very well otherwise - which effects the overall audio quality of the video.
This microphones audio quality is very good and clear at close range (IE sat in front of the microphone), how do you think it would fare in my situation?
Thanks for any help. :)
Just picked mine up from Best Buy for $35!!!
3:09 test sound
Can I use this as my microphone for anything and just listen to the game through my headset and speak through this?
Yes, easier on PC than console though.
You’re mic sounds so much better then mine. I’m getting a awful hum. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve tried a different usb slot. It just doesn’t sound clear. It sounds more like it’s picking up every tiny noise. Is there a setup video on how to set the numbers to tweak it. I’m ready to return it already.
Maybe gain is way too high, try lowing it down by going to Recording Devices in Windows
I just bought this. I am confused how it works. Its plugged in and the red light is on. I don't understand how to use it. Thanks to this video, I learned that the red light means that it is muted. Other than that, I don't know how to use it. The instructions it came with does not tell me.
great video I was wondering if you can compare the blue snowball ice and the hyper solocast
Solocast>snowball ice
When I move in to my own house, I want to start streaming and my equipment will be all Hyperx (Microphone,Headset, Keyboard, Mouse, Mouse Pad)
Yay good timing. Its Christmas!
Happy holidays!
Can you turn off the light? It looks very distracting.
Can you do a video on how to set the microphone up in your computer
Thanks for the video.
Could you kindly tell me the name of the mic you use to record the videos?-
RODE NTG1
what boom arm did you use for it also looking for a shock mount for it but couldn't really find one so if you could recommend one to me that would be cool
amazon.
oh so when the light is solid, thats when its on. So blinking would be mute then.
Could you compare this mic with the Tonor Q9
What program do u use to record your audio on PC?
I hope its worth it,This Mic is on Sale for $35 and I used $30 Best Buy Coupon so I just purchased it for $5.30 Total 😁
Can u use this on ps5 with a headset a wired headset??
didn't you just test the mic when it was muted? Its red which indicate its muted right?
This or blue snowball ice?
when is the sound test
Hello, I've had this microphone for a few days and when I use it on my laptop, the person listening tells me that there is an echo, the same sentence is repeated many times and it ends up that nothing can be understood. Can you help me with an advice, what should I do? Thanks in advance
can i use this on an ipad with lightning cable?
is it just me or in the 3rd setup i saw that the mic was muted
?
Would you recommend razer seiren mini over the solocast?
No, razer products are dookie
at 5:00 would it be possible to use the tilt function a bit towards your face to help with audio quality? It probably won't be much but it may help
I tried it, and it’s mostly the same
Are there windscreens that you can put over it?
Can I still use a shock mount with this mic, and do you have any recommendation to a boom arm for this mic
better than the blue snowball? i need a replacement and i've heard there not much difference between this mic and the quadcast
I'd say it is better than the Snowball. That being said, this mic does pick up more background noise than, say, the Razer Seiren Mini, so a boom arm is pretty much recommended.
Trying to use this as mic and speakers for sound?
Does it have a headphone jack
No.
Blue Snowball vs Solocast?
Snowball is an old mic, i'd reccomend the solocast because of the easy tap to mute.
@@JayZouu thanks.
Question will it give me a feedback if I place it in front of me with the stand and a person talks to me thru my laptop speakers
60??? I got it for like 40...
i can use it on discord but how do i use it on games that have open mic like fortnite and valorant?
If I plug in earbuds that don't have a mic to my controller can I still use the mic. I'm on ps4
Does the PC microphone automatically gets switched off when the Hyerx is plugged in?
Hi did u find out?
Can I use this as my microphone for anything and just listen to the game through my headset and speak through this and just mute my headset mic?
Hi did u find out
the mute button when i press it it mutes but it flashes red still
Can I add affects (bass boosted) on my mic on an Xbox?
Would u reccomend this over other mic’s thr same price?
Of all the mics I've tested on the channel, this one is the best in my opinion and I'd recommend it for sure.
Do you have any tips on stoppin ghtr mouse from pickng up blue swotch clicks?
I don't think you're ever going to be able to eliminate the sound completely, but getting the mic on a boom arm and positioned away from the keyboard will help. The other thing you can do is edit the audio in post production and try to reduce the background/keyboard noise.
Damn i wish there was a software like in discord where it eliminates it
@@raidid4449 actually there's software if u have any RTX 2000 series just go download RTX voice and enable it and it will only capture your voice
Can this be used with Xbox one? If so how can I set it up?
Does it work on switch
How do you turn it on bruh😂
Is this compatible with xbox one
can i connect it to my ps4?
Not sure. Did you ever get an answer?
@@ghost_fazbear yes you can
So no Xbox capitable?
Which light is muted and which is not?
blinking is muted and solid is not muted :)
anyone knows if you could use this on mobile whit a usb adapter?
I cant connect it to Nguity why? already restarted pc switched usb nothing
any idea does it work with ps5
can i use this mic on xbox?
I’m stuck between the quad cast and the solo cast
it's just so much more expensive. That's what makes my decision
How do you connect it to XBOX one?
Does this work on Xbox?
no ones going to talk about how the microphone was muted on setup 3
Blinks red when muted
how to unplug the mic from its stand? @_@
When I press the mute button it blincksc
Do you know of any shock mounts that would work with this by chance?
Is the touch to mute audible? Will it pick up the "bump"?
I have this mic and the mute is not audible it’s just a touch button. You can mute/unmute with the lightest of taps and it doesn’t pick up the “tap” anyway because it immediately mutes.
@Sbshuffle Yes, the mic has excellent pickup range and volume. I use it primarily for work calls and have had it anywhere from ~2ft to 6in from my mouth and it works great. Your computer and programs will automatically adjust the volume of your voice, and everyone I've talked to says there's a noticeable difference in quality. I had to record a speech for an event, and the video editor that was using my audio recording said it sounded like I had professionally recorded my speech and sounded like I was on a podcast.
@Sbshuffle I wouldn't bother with the Quadcast. It's significantly larger and more expensive and the sound quality is virtually identical. The SoloCast is plug and play and works flawlessly out of the box. The one thing I recommend though is installing the firmware update that turns the red LED off when it's muted. If you don't, the red LED just blinks on and off when it's muted instead and it's super annoying.
Hi I have some questions that maybe you could help me with if you have a discord or email or some way I could talk to you instead of just in yt comments
Wait i got one and people say stuff about the front side so is the side with the red rgb line thing the front??? Plz answer guys!
Pls reply pplz
@@duckyjar Yes. The side with the red light is the front and is where you should talk to because of the cardioid pattern it has.
@@garulfulfson7138 thanks
