Elgato Wave DX - Dynamic XLR Microphone, Cardioid pattern, Noise Rejection, speech optimised for Podcasting, Streaming, Broadcasting, No Signal Booster Required, works with any Interface, for Mac, PC

By far this is an AMAZING microphone. Elgato KILLED it with this. Yes, it needs an XLR interface, but you can find affordable options on Amazon (and the Elgato XLR is always an option). Because it’s XLR, the quality is crazy good. Very clear, great levels, manageable range, easy to use with OBS and other software, and a great price. It’s not top-tier Shure or Sennheiser quality, but the sound quality is phenomonal for the price you spend. If you’re using a boom arm, the weight is good, not heavy (though if you use a “cheap” arm, you may have an issue). The mic is also a good size, not big and uses its space very effectively. I’d highly recommend this mic for anyone who wants to record video with audio or stream on Youtube/Twitch.

For the price I would say this thing is NEAR perfection, my first XLR mic out the box it was a little boom/bass heavy for my voice but a quick tweaking and it sounds sooo good if you want to dabble in xlr mics and don’t wanna break the bank I say try this mic out easy plug and play, not too heavy for my boom arm and i love that it didn’t have any crazy rgb and using this with the Elgato steam deck + and wave link software made it so much easier

The quality of this microphone is unmatched in its price range. I could not be happier with the quality of this microphone and everyone who hears me agrees with its performance. I have a friend who has an SM7 who agrees that the quality of sound produced by this microphone is almost indistinguishable from his when it comes to vocal performance. It's crystal clear, it looks great, and it will work for everyone's vocal needs.

I stream and create content for Youtube. I was looking for something to improve my sound quality and this was perfect. I upgraded from the Blue Yeti and I wouldnt look back. After a lot of research this was the most budget friendly while also gaining the quality I had hoped for. I paired this with the GoXlr mini and wish I had purchased sooner.

Absolutely love this mic I bought it along with the wave xlr been beta testing the 3.0 wavelink with them and its wonderful still has some kinks. But the mic and xlr feel hefty strong and like they will last.

Great mics to get you by until the money starts to come. They sound great in podcasting. If considering doing that these mics are good

This is a much better experience than the Wave 1. I did get the mix amp along with it and it doesnt make an incredible difference but it is far more reliable. Although the black paint started to peel on the top or front of the device which I thought was odd but other than that it works great.

I love this mic. The mic size is very compact but super powerful. Great design and dura unity of this product. The cord length is perfect for my setup. The clarity of my voice is awesome. Very light weight.
