Review #34261 about “Hyper X Quadcast”
Author: rusty
Microphone: Hyper X Quadcast
Rating: Average (3 out of 5)
Date:
Advantages of the microphone:
Easy boom arm support. Simple to use. Plug n play. Great for starters.
Disadvantages of the microphone:
I ran into issues a lot. Used outdated Mini USB. Forgot what it was if after I unplugged it wrong too many times on accident. Once internally broken, cannot be used at 100% volume anymore or results in the worst mic on the market.
Author’s comment:
Good mic at first. Def should not cheap out for the Quadcast and get the S instead. Has more lighting options than just red and is overall better. Also the Quadcast 2 exists too. Either that or avoid all the Quadcasts in general.
