5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Bundle, Top Notch Quality!
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2024
Both the Wave 3 + all of it’s accessories, and the arm have been a tremendous upgrade to my setup. I was looking for not only an all white look, but also something that would be higher quality than my Blue Yeti… and this thing delivered! I’m loving every second of the Wave 3’s audio quality and easy to use software, alongside the heavy duty quality of the mic arm. If you need a USB mic setup that’s sleek, high quality, and bang for your buck— this is it! Worth every penny imo. (:

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024
Works amazingly, and is SUPER easy to use and figure out. The audio quality is freaking amazing and sounds like I have a super expensive, professional microphone, and it looks trendy. It feels high-quality, and is just amazing for any of your microphone needs. I love it. 10/10, absolutely worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Microphone for Streamers and Content Creators!
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2021
Beginning or budget streamers and content creators should take a look at this microphone. For a lot of people, it works as is right out of the box with no or very little adjustments to your sound. The Wavelink software that is free for it, is great if you want to separate and mix all of your sounds to different channels.

Some complain that it's not as fancy as some but I do like the sleeker look of this microphone. It would be nice if it had less of a plastic feel to it but I appreciate that it's lightweight because of it and will be easier to travel with. It does only offer one pickup pattern which is the cartiod pattern compared to some of its competitors. Like with any of the other mics that have physical knobs to switch between the gain, monitoring volume button on the front it is a bit noisy. But when it comes to the mute option on top of the Wave 3, it is seamless and can't be beat!

Bottom line, there are other mics that may look fancier and may have more pickup patterns. But if you don't have the budget for an XLR microphone or GoXLR mixer, and want something that sounds great, this is the way to go and what I am using myself!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice product
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024
The product is very good. However, if you want to use it for streaming where you only want your voice to be heard and not the keyboard, mouse, or fan noise, it may not be the best option. For example, I use it for streaming, and I've had to apply noise cancellation filters to avoid picking up my keyboard and mouse clicks on my glass mousepad. The filter works well, but when I make certain loud sounds with my voice, it detects them as noise and doesn't register them, causing certain moments to be lost. If you don't mind this issue, then this microphone is a very good option for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solved all my audio mixing problems for livestreaming. Can't recommend this product enough.
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020
The value in this microphone has more to do with the amazing software rather than the quality of the microphone. Don't get me wrong, the microphone is really good. But the software is what makes this product really great.

This software replaces your external hardware mixer with a software version that can selectively grab sound output from specific programs like Chrome/Brave/Firefox while filtering out other sound sources like your instant messenger on your computer so they don't get recorded to the stream.

The one caveat here is that on macOS the default settings had the microphone giving a ~40ms delay in the voice due to software loop back. However, the software loop back can be disabled and instead a zero-time loopback can be activated very easily by disabling software monitoring. On Windows 10 this is already the default. But on MacOS it is not. However this little hiccup is not severe enough to remove a star. It's just something took me about 15 mins to figure out.

Now that the whole thing is setup correctly I can jump on a stream very easily. The microphone also features an audio out which allows me to attach super sleek black ear bud phones, which are normally have too short of a cable to be able to reach my main computer, but reach the microphone perfectly with slack.

Also, this microphone has CLIP GUARD which will prevent you from clipping the audio when you get too close to it. This is one of the best features and I was using all kinds of hardware solutions to get this feature, including getting the AudioVox 286s that did this as one of it's features. However, after getting this microphone I ditched the AudioVox product.

Finally I want to add that so much hardware was elimiated by using this product. My studio is now way cleaner and the ability to jump on a stream immediatly without messing with settings is the best part of this entire solution. This product could be sold for more money and I would toss it at them. Very sad I didn't discover this product a year ago. So many wasted hours and returned products trying to emulate what this product does out of the box.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you need a dynamic or condenser?
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2024
Condenser mics like this one PICK UP EVERYTHING. We have kids and my wife records audiobooks - not the best scenario. The build and features of this microphone for the price is tough to beat - it really sounds fantastic. The software to compress and reduce noise is great as well - just note it won’t eliminate concurrent noise on top of another, closer voice.
