Title: Great Quality, Great Price!
Review: I've been using the HyperX QuadCast 2 for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say it's a game-changer for content creation. The audio quality is crystal clear, capturing my voice in rich detail while filtering out background noise impressively well.One of my favorite features is the customizable RGB lighting, which adds a unique touch to my setup. It looks sleek and professional, especially during streams. The tap-to-mute sensor on the top is incredibly convenient; a simple tap mutes the mic, and the LED lighting change instantly shows its status, so I always know when I'm live or muted.The four polar patterns (stereo, omnidirectional, cardioid, and bidirectional) make it super versatile, whether I'm recording solo or with a group. It's easy to set up, too – just plug and play. I highly recommend this mic to any content creator or podcaster looking for high-quality sound, aesthetics, and functionality. It’s a great investment that truly delivers!

Title: The HyperX Quadcast 2 is a game changer!
Review: I’ve been using it for recording Social media voiceover, and casual chatting, and it’s exceeded my expectations in every way. The RGB lighting is super fun and adds a cool aesthetic to my setup, and the sound quality is incredible — super clear with no background noise.One of my favorite features is the tap-to-mute functionality. It’s quick and easy, and the light indicator lets me know instantly when I’m muted. The anti-vibration shock mount is another big plus, keeping the audio clean even during those intense moments.If you’re serious about content creation or just want a high-quality mic for gaming or streaming, this is the one. HyperX nailed it with the Quadcast 2! Highly recommend.

Title: Perfect for Streaming and Gaming!
Review: The sound is crisp and clear, with the knob adjustment being easy to use. You can adjust the mic to your liking and even take it out of the stand and use a separate overhead arm to attach it for easier access. Muting the mic is just tapping it at the top, which is so quick and efficient. Great quality and compatible with different consoles!

Title: Cool and easy to use mic
Review: Definitely a great podcast mic to use. It’s very simple to set up and sounds great. I also love the tap to mute feature. It also comes with a shock mount which is needed so you don’t hear table movements or any jitters and shakes. Overall a great podcast mic!

Title: Disappointed - Glowing Red Mic - No Mac Adjustment Ability
Review: I was very excited for this microphone. However, after receiving and unboxing, and plugging in I could not be more disappointed. It has a red glowing light that cannot be stopped. Maybe cool if you are a gamer. Super annoying for regular use or business purposes (my intended use). Called customer support to find out how to adjust the red light. On a Window PC you can download software and adjust. If you have a Mac, they do not have software available. Even if you adjust on a PC and then plug into the Mac it will revert back to default/original settings. Bottom line: if you are using this mic with a Mac you will be stuck with factory default glowing red light that has an almost slight stobe/wave effect. I told customer service they were missing out. They said, "we are sorry". Probably a great mic and a great company but returning. Need to support Mac users. Will not fit my need and I'm assuming many other customers in the market for a new mic.

Title: Definitely better than the first quadcast mic
Review: Took a minor gamble at time of purchase with there being no reviews at the time of purchase that I could find and it was definitely worth the upgrade from my 4-5 year old hyperx quadcast mic, sound quality great and is the mic volume is so much louder comparingly and actually has software support(and color effects if you love different effects of the color red). I love the polar pattern lighting feature and the mic volume nob is no longer at the bottom which I would always bump and change annoyingly so that's a plus, the polar pattern also got moved into settings instead of being a physical nob but you can hold down the volume button to change it though you have to hold the button down for quite a while. Has a high pass filter in the options if that is something you need, not much else for options at the moment.No real complaints here aside from no rgb option yet, but definitely a worth it mic and would recommend to friends over the other hyperx choices in my opinion. I'll come back later and update this review after spending more time with it.

Review: In der Corona Pandemie Zeit hatte ich mir das Vorgängermodell HyperX QuadCast zugelegt um einen besseren Sound bei den vielen MS Teams Meetings und Onlinekonferenzen erreichen. Diese Anforderung hat das Vorgängermodell klar erfüllt. Ich hatte mich allerdings schon immer geärgert das dieses Mikrofon keinen USB-C Anschluss hat, außerdem fand ich es ärgerlich das man das Mikrofon nicht einfach aus dem Schockmount herausnehmen konnte. Was mir auch oft unwillentlich passiert war, war das ich die Lautstärke des Mikrofons verändert habe, durch Berührung des unteren Drehknopfs, der sehr leichtgängig ist. Letzte Woche ist es dann passiert, mein altes HyperX QuadCast machte plötzlich keinen Muchs mehr, es wurde nicht mehr vom PC erkannt. Also was tun? Ich hatte mich schon so an die tolle Optik des Mikrofons gewöhnt, es ist, jedes Mal wenn man neue Leute in einem Meeting hat, ein toller Diskussionspunkt. Also habe ich mich wieder bei HyperX umgeschaut. Und da gabs gerade jetzt das Nachfolgemodell. Also bei Amazon „jetzt kaufen“ geklickt und am nächsten Tag ausgepackt. Und siehe da, ALLE meine Kritikpunkte wurden aufgegriffen. Es gibt einen USB-C Anschluss, man kann das Mikrofon einfach aus dem Schockmount herausziehen und der zu leichtgängige Lautstärkeregler wurde in einen Multifunktionsknopf mit LED-Anzeige umgewandelt. So dass man die Einstellung auch jederzeit ablesen kann. Eine weitere Verbesserung ist die Anzeige der Mikrofon Charakteristik. Diese wird jetzt durch langes Drücken des Multifunktionsknopfs umgeschaltet zwischen den vier Einstellungen. Welche Einstellung gerade aktiv ist wird durch rote LEDs am Kopf des Mikrofons angezeigt, sehr schlau! Die Tonqualität war bei der Vorgängerversion bereits top, hier ist sie eventuell noch einen Tick besser. Auch kann man bei diesem Nachfolgemodell das rote Licht auf verschiedene Arten animieren (HyperX NGENUITY software). Insgesamt ist das eine gelungene Weiterentwicklung des Vorgängermodells, welches die guten Features mitnimmt und sowohl einige Dinge verbessert und noch neue Optionen zufügt. Von mir gibt’s dafür volle fünf Sterne.

Review: 高音質・超高感度。感度が良過ぎてびっくりした。カーディオイドモードで普段使いのマイクとして。無指向モードで会議録音を。双方向モードで対面オフコラボ配信を。ステレオモードで演奏収録を。これ１本で色んな使い方ができてしまう高性能USBマイク。ただしステレオモードのASMR収録に関してはダミーヘッドのようなバイノーラル収録はできないので過度な期待は禁物。例えば咀嚼音がキレイに拾えるほど高感度だし、LRをはっきり認識できるのだが、R側から息を吹きかけるとLR共にフーッと音が鳴ってしまうような状態。LRが完全には分離していないので、使い方は限定される。それでもこのステレオ機能があるのとないのとでは自由度が全然違ってくる。マイクを２本用意しなくても手軽にステレオ収録できるのは素晴らしい。なお、各モードの効き具合はモニター出力（3.5mmヘッドホンポート）からリアルタイムに確認できる。ゲーミングマイクとされているがQuadCast SのようなRGBライト機能はない。ただし発光パターンは有機的で美しい。タップで手軽に素早くミュートでき、ミュート切り替え時にポップノイズが生じず（指がマイクに触れる音は入るが）、マイクステータスLEDでミュート状態が直感的に分かる。スタンドの作りが良く、箱から出してそのまま使える。ポゴピン採用ショックマウントは手軽に着脱できるようになった上、マイクが確実に定位置に固定されるので着脱を頻繁にしない人にも恩恵がある。
