I am a vtuber for example and i already have a billion programms running in the background for every stream lmao.

I've been really into the new Logi Blue Sona. It just looks and sounds so dang cool Out of all the ones you looked at today, I think that the GOXLR mic might be my favorite. They all have a decent out of the box tone and have decent directional sound capture that can be polished with some EQ and compression to sound amazing.

100€ is a solid price for any consumer grade product. Once you go past 100 the product really needs to compete with other stupidly priced products that are 5 times more. Thinking about starting to stream for my small discord server (~1000 people) and I’m looking at Hyperx Quadcast S for 80€. Is it just me, or it’s a good price?

If this could plug in via usb and give me wave link, I would literally buy this right now for my gf's setup. But it just seems like adding another good budget option to a market that had just about everything you could want in it without adding anything new. Seems like a solid mic, but like there are so many at that price point already.

I think it's so interesting to see how Elgato has evolved as a company over the years. IIRC their original products were never intended to be used for video games. They sold capture cards for recording video from cable TV. But then gamers found that they could use the capture cards to record gaming content, and it seems like Elgato took the idea and completely pivoted once they realized the potential of that marketspace.

I purchased the Elgato Wave 3 microphone after watching your video about it. I've been really enjoying the mic quality for such a microphone and received compliments from other streamers for the clarity of my voice. Plus, the Wave Link interface has been a real blessing to separate and balance all my sounds. I gave my old Blue Yeti microphone to my boyfriend, but eventually we hope to have a second microphone for him. This new dynamic microphone from Elgato seems pretty neat, I love the unique shape this company gives to their microphone, thank you for this quick first hand review of it!

Like, if you are invested in the apple ecosystem, (watch, phone, tablet, laptop, etc.) and then want to switch to an android phone, your watch immediately becomes a paperweight. whereas if you get the wave xlr and the new dx and then want to switch, you still have the option to and you only need to replace the product that you want to replace. No need to go out and get an entire new audio setup.

Elgato GoStream Bundle with their greenscreen, their sound interface, their mic and mic arm, their capture card and their webcam for a "slightly discounted price" to make such a high investment worth it.

To the average listener, the quality between these mics is just splitting hairs. It's just all about which one, along with its respective features and aesthetics, you like working with best. It makes sense that if you have a Wave XLR you already have a XLR mic so picking up one of these just gives you an extra mic laying around. But if you're just starting out, this mic in combination with a Wave XLR gives you a great starting point to build off of.
