What customers say about "Size & Weight"

HyperX QuadCast USB Condenser Gaming Microphone

I love everything about this from the sound quality to the size and look of it, Best Buy for the year.
This is a medium-sized USB condenser microphone which comes with both a desk stand and standard microphone mount.
The size is larger than most, a full size "pro-look" and that's fine because it had a cool look.
I literally have three desks covered in books, papers, materials, etc. So, for me, this is the exact right size!
It might a little bug on the size but it's not as heavy as a blue yeti.

Blue Yeti USB Mic for Recording & Streaming on PC and Mac

The size is good and the handle and comfort to play is good.
Very nice-looking, substantial in weight. Versatile with configurations.
Easy to setup and create clear and crisp audio! Fairly large for the size.
Although fairly large in size, the quality of the product is evident. Large selection of settings.
It is very sturdy and has some weight to it. It looks and feels professional!

What customers say about "Features"

HyperX QuadCast USB Condenser Gaming Microphone

Physical controls are a god send with the Quadcast. Having a physical control for gain levels on the fly is a must if you're looking to Twitch stream.
The built in pop filter and while it does work rather well I would still recommend an additional pop filter to help really clean up audio.
Speaking of control the touch sensor and lighting makes it easy to quickly mute myself during a stream.
The 4 different recording options with a quick switch, this makes the Quadcast super versatile
I sounded crisp and clear. The volume adjustment is a great feature as well.

Blue Yeti USB Mic for Recording & Streaming on PC and Mac

Simple to use and records great sound. I use it to record podcasts and the multiple recording patterns are a godsend. I love this mic.
There are manual switches for both gain and recording patterns - stereo, omni, cardioid, and bi-directional.
It’s a very sensitive microphone, it picks up a lot of low and mid frequencies.
It also features a 3.5mm standard audio jack port which allows you to plug in earphones to get real time monitoring. I really like it.
Amount of background noise and static detracts from what should be professional quality.
