- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2025Style Name: Quadcast 2 SColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseRecording quality:
Audio quality is impeccable. For the price, this in my opinion matches microphones that are way higher in the price range. One thing to note is that the audio quality becomes significantly better when the mic is closer to you. It is still amazing when at around ~15inches away, but the closer the better, so I would suggest getting a mic stand too. Works great without. I have attached a pop filter to mine but this is not required as it has a pop filter built in.
Why did you choose this product over others?:
Value for price is better than almost anything you'll find on market.
Weight:
Slightly heavy with everything attached, great quality build.
Colour:
Black. Sleek, fits in well with any setup, and the RGB is highly customisable and great.
Ease of use:
Literally plug and play. HyperX NGENUITY software can be found on Microsoft Store, where you can control mic settings and RGB.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2024Style Name: QuadcastColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseI've always loved HyperX products, I have a 7 year old Hyperx Cloud II headset that's still going strong even though the leather is starting to flake off. HyperX construction always feels premium with the brushed metal, soft leather, accent stitched thread, etc and their microphone line follows that same trend. The Quadcast is much bigger and heavier than I expected it to be based on the listing photos. It feels sturdy in the hands. Nothing feels cheap, not even the soft coated plastic parts. It looks sleek, even for a gaming mic. I don't care for the black and red or RGB aesthetic, but HyperX does a good job of toning it down while still making it marketable to that specific crowd. I bought a pop filter that blocks out 90% of the red LED which unfortunately can't be turned off, although it serves the purpose of letting you know that the mic is on and active so it's not all bad. I would recommend a pop filter, although the Quadcast has one built in, it was still picking up some pops from about 7-8 inches from my mouth. Pop filter eliminates it entirely. I also bought a boom arm, the Quadcast's shock stand wasn't able to filter out impact noise from my wood desk, could just be the size and density of my desk and not specifically the stand's fault, but again the boom arm eliminates that issue entirely.
As far as performance, I was upgrading from my Hyperx Cloud II mic which has always been subpar so it was a significant difference, all of my friends mentioned it within seconds of hearing me talk on the Quadcast, saying I sounded really clear, like I was "in their head", or like I was on a podcast. This was with no finetuning, now I use the SteelSeries Sonar program for the ClearCast AI noise cancelling, it filters out my keyboard taps and background noise better than Discord's Krispy and also carries over into in-game recordings, Krispy obviously cannot. Also love the mute function. Gentle tap on the end of the mic works every time, super responsive.
It's a great mic, I don't think you'll find anything better for the price, this is it. I've already gotten some of my friends to buy it because they were so blown away by how much better and clearer I sound. If you've been considering making the switch from a headset mic, I'd say look no further. You will not be disappointed with this mic.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2025Style Name: Quadcast 2 SColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseI’ll start with the negative. Upon getting this mic and plugging it in. The hyper x software wouldn’t recognise It no matter what I did, no forum posts/YouTube videos to assist with this new model either - to fix I just had to update windows to most recent patch.
The cable that connects to the mic itself is a little flimsy, I keep my mic infront of me with no boom arms or anything and when I move it around to get it out the way it is regular and frequent that it disconnects.
Now for the good.
Amazing sound quality straight out the box, but to get all your moneys worth I recommend a third party software, steel series sonar is really good and it’s what I’ve been using, voice meter is a option, with these you can eq the mic as without this it does sound flat when compared to other condenser mics at this price point
Looks amazing like..actually adds to the setup esp for someone who wants to add subtle colour to their setup. All the options in the software really make it worth paying a bit extra for the rgb colour option.
I recommend this mic 8/10 times 👍

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!
Style Name: QuadcastColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseBit of a late review to purchase, but this microphone is wonderful.
Bought it on recommendation and I didn’t know what to expect.
The tap function on the top of the microphone to mute and unmute paired with a clear “on" and "off" from the LED in the mic helps tremendously.
Plugging it in for the first time is easy and effortless, and the modes toggled on the knob are simple and effective.
The audio quality produced through is it great! after a few tests to sedate my curiosity I discovered its strong enough to even pick up on my heartbeat if I leaned close to it and with the correct settings.
I’m not using this thing for anything professional, but for me it’s PLENTY enough!
Conclusion: nothing bad to say! Easy to set up, sound is great and it looks cool too, a really nice addiction to the desk. I very much recommend this microphone

5.0 out of 5 stars Erg goed geluid indien binnen 15cm geplaatst
Style Name: SoloCastColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseIk ontving helaas een gebruikt exemplaar, maar hij was compleet en functioneert goed. Ik moest hem alleen wel schoonmaken, want hij was een beetje vies.
Prima microfoon met erg mooi en warm geluid. Je moet hem wel heel dichtbij hebben voor het perfecte geluid, denk aan max 15cm afstand. Als je hem verder weg houdt, wordt het geluid beduidend zachter en ga je (vanwege gain) steeds meer achtergrondgeluiden horen. Als je de meegeleverde standaard gebruikt, staat hij dus eigenlijk altijd te ver weg om echt beter te zijn dan bijvoorbeeld de ingebouwde microfoon van je laptop.
Werkt zonder drivers etc. gelijk op een Mac en is beschikbaar in al mijn apps zoals Teams, Slack, en QuickTime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good mic, BUT
Style Name: QuadcastColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseThis is a very good mic for discord/online voice communication and possibly for content creation however you would need to use outside programs to adjust any further because there is no software for this, which is pretty much the biggest complaint
Using OBS alone (which is free) you can make it sound pretty good but requires trial and error or watching a guide for settings.
Other than that, straight out of the box it is a great quality mic with a dial for adjusting gain and mic direction and is very simple and easy to set up and use.
Very lightweight and is easily fitted to an applicable mic arm and as long as you are willing to go without or use different softwares for adjustments it is an excellent buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Avaliação do Microfone da Hyperx QuardCast S com RGB
Style Name: Quadcast SColour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseAvaliando esse microfone pelos comentários e vendo pessoas que usavam eu já achava que era um ótimo produto.
Quando ele chegou em casa me impressionou ainda mais, ele tem um software parecido com o da Logitech para a configuração (você entra no site, baixa o programa e ele faz sozinho), além de super simples e fácil de usar, ela ainda explica algumas funções dos módulos de voz para garantir uma melhor experiência de áudio, além de contar com configurações diferentes de cores como quiser e poder controlar graves e agudos, não só o volume (o que vem na maioria dos aparelhos).
Sou streamer nas horas vagas e até meus seguidores elogiaram a qualidade do microfone (sem saber que eu havia trocado), falaram que a voz ficou mais clara, sem ruídos, limpa e mais bonita.
Minha conclusão dessa avaliação é que vale muito a pena investir em um microfone que entrega essa qualidade e que o custo realmente compensa tudo isso após cada comentário, cada dia mais feliz com meu acessório novo, que além de tudo....é muito lindo.
Também gostaria de agradecer o serviço da Amazon pela rapidez da entrega e pelo produto ter vindo em perfeito estado, tanto na embalagem de envio, quanto na do próprio produto.
