The Blue Yeti has been one of the most popular microphones in the content creation world for a very long time. For good reason though, because the mic is incredibly easy to use<\/span><\/strong> and it offers a great audio quality<\/span><\/strong>. Both the gain levels and the audio patterns are adjustable, which make it a very flexible mic for all-around use. However, we would recommend replacing the original mic stand with a boom arm. The Yeti is relatively big so it would take up a good amount of space on the desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to add a bit more flair to your setup, the HyperX QuadCast S would be a great option for you. The built-in customizable lights<\/span><\/strong> will definitely be a great addition to your RGB gaming or streaming setup. The Ngenuity software allows you to customize the RGB lighting effects, adjust the volume and change the polar pattern. The audio recordings are very clear if you can position the mic properly, otherwise the proximity effect (unpleasant distortion due to the mic being too close) becomes noticeable. The default mic stand is very limited in positioning, so a boom arm would definitely be recommended for this microphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HyperX SoloCast proves that you can get an excellent audio quality without spending a fortune<\/span><\/strong>. At an average price of $50 this microphone sits in the budget range, but its audio quality gets very close to the much more expensive HyperX QuadCast, costing $150. However, the SoloCast is less flashy in terms of aesthetics and features. There\u2019s very little adjustability and the default mic stand feels flimsy. The tap-to-mute<\/span><\/strong> feature is a very nice bonus though, an unexpected one in this price range too. All in all the HyperX SoloCast would be a perfect option if you just want to get a good audio quality without spending too much.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So, you would like to get started on your streaming, podcasting or Youtube adventures?
