Excellent and flexible microphone, but be careful with volume control

Reviewed in Singapore 🇸🇬 on 25 March 2022

Style Name: Red LightingVerified Purchase

Quality of voice captured by the microphone is excellent.

The four selectable polar patterns (stereo, omnidirectional, cardioid, bidirectional) work properly; I only wish the red light that glows inside the microphone indicate the sides of the microphone that are listening (according to the selected polar pattern). At the moment, the only way to find that out is to pick up the whole microphone, turn it around and see the selected polar pattern.

The volume control has to be set to the maximum in order for the microphone to be comparable to a webcam. Unfortunately, the volume control is too easy to rotate accidentally and I often find myself recording at mid-volume, which is too soft.
The five dots on the volume control do not correspond to the position of the volume control: the five dots only occupy a space of about 2cm, but the volume control rotates about 3 times as much. So I cannot tell what the current volume is unless I rotate it to the maximum or to the minimum (i.e. until the volume control hits its rotation limit).

I find the anti-vibration shock mount does little to dampen the vibration from the keyboard or from the hand touching the table. Everything is picked up by the sensitive microphone.

Good product but tape up the gain dial

Reviewed in Singapore 🇸🇬 on 12 October 2021

Style Name: Red LightingVerified Purchase

Bought last year during lockdown for wfh Zoom/Webex/Teams calls and it has worked almost seamlessly. Only complaint is the gain dial. Others mentioned the strangeness that you can dial it up way beyond what looks like the maximum setting. My only beef is that I have the mic on a retractable boom and when I adjust the position it’s way too easy to unintentionally turn the gain all the way down without noticing.
First you know is when someone you’re talking to complains they can’t hear you.
So if like me you never need to adjust the gain, just tape the dial in position and problem solved. Really happy with the product since I did that.

It's great... but

Reviewed in Singapore 🇸🇬 on 8 December 2021

Style Name: Red LightingVerified Purchase

So I initially got this almost 2 years ago now, and so far I've only had some issues on my end with connectivity, so I feel that it's safe to say in terms of quality, it's great.
However, I've since learned that there are better audio input options for similar prices. Additionally, microphones have quite rapidly advanced since the quadcast came out, and there are actually some cheaper options. So I would really only recommend this if you've already done some research and have decided on this model.

Great microphone for streaming

Reviewed in Singapore 🇸🇬 on 6 February 2022

Style Name: Red LightingVerified Purchase

For the price, you get a well-built microphone that sounds great. Personally, the red lighting isn't an issue as it's not too bright and indicates when the mic isn't muted.

The "tap to mute" button on the top of the mic is such an ingenious idea that needs to be implemented more often.

Bang for your buck

Its a little pricier than your average mic, but it definitely backs it up with crystal clear sound quality. Physical controls put it a head above the rest, and the built in pop filter and shock mount are good touches as well. Would be nice if the LED was RGB, but its only red.

これは不良品じゃない！返品しようとしている人、捨てようとしている人は聞いてくれー！

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on 8 January 2021

Style Name: Red LightingVerified Purchase

はっきり言います、この商品はいい商品です。

ただ、僕自身もさっきまではこのマイクが不良品だと思っていたので、あえて評価1にして皆さんの目に届くようにしたいと思います。

というのもこの商品が一部で「音質が悪い」とされているのには、windowsの初期設定に問題があるかもしれないからなんです。

添付した写真を見ればわかると思いますが、windowsボタンを押して歯車のマークからサウンドに進むと、マイクの出力設定を行うことができます。

個人差もあるとは思うんですが、僕のPCではHyperX QuadCastを差し込んでもRealtek(R)audio のままでした。
そこで「もしや…？」と思ってHyperX QuadCastの方に切り替えたら見事に音質が復活しました！

多分ここに気付けないせいでこの商品を不良品と認識する方も少なくないと思います…(僕もその一人でした笑)
これが少しでも皆さんの役に立てればなと思いレビューを書かせていただきました。

Impressive Mic for a Respectable Price

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 19 April 2019

Style Name: Red LightingVerified Purchase

This is a video review for the Quadcast. General pros and cons will go here:
Pros:
+ Very intuitive mute/unmute system, convenient gain control dial
+ Warmer sound, but overall has a good balance to sound natural
+ Four polar patterns to choose from, which is handy for things other than gaming
+ Build quality looks solid but still is quite light
+ Built-in audio jack for a monitor mode
+ Shock mount and pop filter included!

Cons:
- Red lighting unable to be changed
- Gain control printing is inaccurate
- Mute/unmute area is matte and gets easily smudged
- A bit on the higher end for pricing on "gamer stand-up mics", however there are additional features for the premium pricing

With these in mind, I still believe this microphone is a very solid 9.5/10 as most arguments are trivial and doesn't detract at all from the function of the mic. Great work HyperX!

USBでこの性能は流石

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on 19 February 2020

Style Name: Red LightingVerified Purchase

RAZER製品のKRAKENを使っていましたが、マイクの音質が悪いと友達から言われたために購入。
1か月使用したレビューです。

控えめに言って、　最高　です。

特に感じたのは音質とミュート機能のありがたさ。

音質に関しては、単一指向にしてるとちょっとした物音でも聞こえちゃうらしいです。聞こえる範囲は設定できるらしいんですが、よくわからないです。
友達曰く「国営と民放くらい違う」だそうです。よくわからないです。

ミュート機能にはだいぶお世話になっています。ゲーマー御用達だと僕は思ってます。
光がついているかで判別できるので、ゲーム中に熱唱していたのを野良でマッチングした方に聞かれて死にたくなったあの思い出は忘れられそうです。

Rein vom Klang her kann ein aktuelles Smartphone besser sein

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on 28 February 2020

Style Name: Red LightingVerified Purchase

Ich bin ein wenig hin- und hergerissen. Zum einen feier ich das Design und die Funktion mit dem Touch-Bedienfeld, es jederzeit ausschalten zu können. Dennoch holt mich der Klang der Aufnahmen überhaupt nicht ab. Ich sitze davor und habe es auf "Niere" eingestellt - eben die Einstellung für den Solo-Sprachgebrauch. Zur Info: Als Abhöre kommen Tascam VL-X5 zm Einsatz. Doch was letzten Endes da rauskommt, ist wirklich dumpf und benötigt meines Erachtens nach noch eine intensive Nachbearbeitung. Eine Nachbearbeitung, die - und jetzt wird der ein oder andere lachen - mit dem Huawei P20 Lite gar nicht vonnöten ist. Ich habe das Smartphone in der selben Entfernung und mache eine Selfie-Videoaufzeichnung. Das Video reingezogen ins Schnittprogramm und ich habe eine glasklare Sprachqualität der Audiospur. Ich meine, wie kann es sein, dass das kleine Mikrofon eines Smartphones offensichtlich ein breiteres Spektrum aufnehmen kann als ein Kondensatormikrofon? Ich verstehe es nicht. Nur die Frage ist jetzt: schicke ich es zurück oder ist es für Streams ausreichend? Immerhin wird nicht jeder zu Hause Nahfeld-Studiomonitore stehen haben. Dennoch irgendwie schade ums Geld, wenn ich künftige Videos und deren Audio wohl weiter mit dem Huawei aufnehmen werde. Im Übrigen bin ich jetzt kein Technikfreak, um von all dem großartig Ahnung zu haben. Deshalb spiegelt die Rezension nur meine subjektive Wahrnehmung wider.

La estética es su principal punto fuerte

Reviewed in Spain 🇪🇸 on 18 December 2020

Style Name: Red LightingVerified Purchase

[Comprado a 129€]
Después de usarlo unos meses, puedo comentar mi experiencia usando este micrófono.

Lo primero, que si eres una persona que simplemente lo use para hablar por discord/teamspeak, y quiera una mejora a su micrófono integrado, no merece la pena. Los micrófonos incluidos en unos HyperX Cloud II/Cloud Alpha, Corsair HS o Logitech G432 (O si quieres aún mejor, los G Pro X) son suficientemente buenos, y mucho, mucho más cómodos de usar.
¿Por qué digo que son más cómodos? Porque un brazo de micrófono es casi una compra obligada. El stand que incluye el HyperX Quadcast es bastante decente, la verdad (mejor que la del Elgato Wave, o los Razer Seiren, y el HyperX es el único que incluye un shock mount), pero como lo tendrás que poner en la mesa, o bien lo pones justo enfrente de ti para que el teclado y ratón estén detrás y capte menos el ruido -algo incómodo-, o lo pones a un lado, y recogerá el ruido de teclas. En ambos casos, la vibración del teclado probablemente se note.
Ese problema no lo tenemos con los micrófonos integrados en cascos, así que como digo, si solo lo quieres usar para que te oigan bien, mejor comprar cascos.

Ahora bien, eres streamer, o tienes un podcast. Ahí sí que tiene más sentido, y donde el HyperX Quadcast brilla.
Primero, porque estéticamente es de los que más llaman la atención -aunque, por supuesto, es subjetivo, y si no te gusta la estética "gamer" que ha elegido HyperX, te parecerá una horterada-. Sí, el Razer Seiren Emote también atrae la vista por la posibilidad de los emoticonos, pero me parece que el sonido es tan malo que no merece la pena.

Para Podcast también es útil por sus patrones de sonido (Cuatro: Cardioide, Bidireccional, Omnidireccional y Estéreo). Cardioide es el más recomendable para un solo locutor, Bidireccional para dos locutores hablando en lados opuestos, Omnidireccional para capturar todo el sonido en 360º y Estéreo para capturar el sonido en unos 300º y diferenciar los canales izquierdo y derecho).

Respecto al micrófono en sí, además de un dial para los patrones de sonido, tiene un dial de ganancia -el cual, sin ningún sentido aparente, se gira mucho más de lo que indica la ilustración impresa sobre el micro-.
¿Por qué es importante poder cambiar la ganancia? Porque si no se tiene, el micrófono automáticamente intentará conseguir la mayor ganancia y recogerá cualquier ruido de ambiente. Si nos ponemos cerca y reducimos la ganancia, nos aseguramos que únicamente se escuche nuestra voz.

En la parte superior del HyperX Quadcast hay un "botón" (y lo digo entre comillas, porque no se pulsa, sino que se toca ligeramente) para encenderlo y apagarlo. Cuando se ilumina en rojo el micrófono está encendido, y cuando se apaga la iluminación, deja de retransmitir. El LED es únicamente rojo, y no es posible usar el micrófono sin encender el LED. Ello cambia en el HyperX Quadcast S, que permite editar la iluminación.
Por último, el HyperX Quadcast cuenta con un jack 3.5mm para conectar auriculares y escuchar nuestra voz a través del micrófono, y todo ello alimentado mediante un cable microUSB a USB. El nuevo HyperX Quadcast S ha cambiado esta conexión por USB-C, siendo esta la única mejora.

En este rango de precios para micrófonos USB podemos encontrar también el conocido Blue Yeti, que aunque no he podido probar, universalmente se considera mejor en su calidad de sonido -yo he probado su hermano pequeño, el Blue Snowball ICE, bastante bueno-, el Razer Seiren -el cual NO RECOMIENDO en ninguna de sus versiones, sonido muy enlatado-, y el Rode NT en su versión USB (también buena opción). Por ello, como digo, el Quadcast es buena opción pero elegida sobre todo por estética, frente a micrófonos más "serios".

Como nota, es posible que encuentres comparaciones de micrófonos USB y XLR. Los USB como el HyperX Quadcast se conectan directamente al PC, mientras que los XLR necesitan una interfaz (un DAC) ya que no se pueden conectar directamente. Salvo que quieras meterte de lleno en el mundo audiófilo, aprendiendo a configurar perfiles de sonido, un micrófono USB es más que suficiente. Personalmente no estoy tan metido, y habiendo escuchado mi HyperX Quadcast, y un Audio-Technica AT2035 con un DAC Focusrite Scarlett y sinceramente, en un stream, no apreciaba un salto de sonido que justificase el precio.

En defintiva, micrófono bueno, estéticamente llamativo, y recomendado si sabes para qué vas a usarlo.
