Quit lying. Hyper x sounds like ur talking through the mic on my razer head set. People only notice the quality when I'm using the blue yeti with virtual XLR plug in and OBS eq with a noise gate.
Quadcast feels much more natural and organic, Blue yeti you can actually hear the compression and pre-EQ applied to it. The average listener might find yeti captures a better range, but Imo it's better to have things RAW and apply compressor / EQ post, because if it's already applied you can't undo it. It's like having a selfie camera that always has smoothening / beauty filters applied, you'd have to basically try to edit out the effect to try to get it to feel natural again. Ps. This is one of the best reviews out there. This guy went straight into the details. I find that people who make mic reviews like the sound of their voice too much and just end up rambling, trying to make witty jokes, and going off too many tangents. Really appreciate this.
One thing to know about the Yeti: It's not living up to its full potential straight out of the box. It needs a shock mount. It needs a pop filter. It helps a LOT to acoustically treat your room (which is true for every mic)
@FillaWolf it all depends on edits but in this video you can hear the tiny sound of the blue yeti and it's disgusting. The hyper comes already warm and crisp while the yeti sounds like a headset mic out of the box. It's all plug n play with these usb mics and hyperx takes the win there
I find that the yeti works way better when you’re hanging it upside down instead of straight up, and, you definitely want to get a shock mount for it. Just my two cents
@@mcant17 i honestly fucking hate the blue yeti if any of you are thinking of getting it dont ive been having non stop issues returning it honestly its just been hell

ive had the same yeti for a few years now. i have zero complaints. hearing other mics side by side really make me happy i chose it. im not an audio pro, so it works really well for me. im the target audience for a quality usb mic, and the blackout yeti is wonderful. the stand is in fact chonk though. ill give you that.

I use the Yeti Nano which mediates the size problem quite a bit without compromising on sound quality I also tend to have it mounted sideways on an arm, as in like, the holes where the mic screws into the default desk mount are pointing up and down and I find this helps even further with the size problem. It might look weird at first but you kind of just get used to it once you use it a bit
I really still dont know what to choose. Cause the Blue yeti looks so clean on your setup and i think its a more warmer sound but the hyper x quadcast is amazing too. If someone could help i would apreciate it!
I bought the Blue Yeti (white) too, I agree that it really nice and clear for the set up, but in my opinion, if can you should test it first because the blue voice in G-hub (i dont really remember that app name) makes my voice like I’m talking under water in some options xD but now I’m use the Nvidia Soundboard (free) and It better. Hope you find a good mic for you :3
I can't tell if you re posted a bigger channels video 🤔 or if you're actually making quality videos with great editing and mixing. Top tier video for sure 👌

But they are in the same price range. The yeti is a 12 year old mic (give or take a few revisions) but isn't priced as such. A lot of new content creators/streamer go for the Yeti because of its reputation when in fact its by far not the best mic out there for the price
@@Oldmangamess I agree, it has changed a lot but the Yeti mic isn't priced as such. Just got my daughter full USB microphone kit (mic, boom arm, shock mount, pop filter) all for under £80 that out performs the my old Yeti. The point is that the comparison is between 2 popular mics at the similar price point. The review clearly highlights that the established Yeti mic is not worthwhile value to performance purchase
I’m a fan of both, however I own the Yeti. I do believe you can get little caps to put in the holes where the stand was, I’d have to look again though.
Which would you preferably suggest for recording music? I am leaning towards the Hyper X Quadcast I appreciate the functionality you went in on but when you mentioned the headphone attachment/volume control I don’t know how essential this would be for a recording music
I got the yeti nano and I am not very pleased. It picks up background noise like crazy but not my voice, and when I bring it close the noise levels vary wildly. I am not a good speaker but this is not very good quality at all as far as I am concerned. It seems you need to shout from close range to get good volume without tons of bg noise. I wish I had the quadcaster instead but I did not want to buy online and this was the best in store option I could find.
The yeti definitely has more body to the sound and higher quality, the quadcast is more soul less (not to the point of having a very high difference in quality tho) but to compensate it has a shockmount and a pop filter already integrated so you are gonna waste less money to make it functional compared to the yeti that you need a arm and a pop filter.
I agree, I might have to just stick to the blue yeti x when I upgrade from my blue yeti. I really do enjoy the mute button on the quadcast because it seems to work better and not break as often. I'm actually upgrading my blue yeti because the mic button no longer works. It doesn't mute me when I push the button. (It blinks its lights indicating it should be muted, but it's not.)
@@ghost-user559 I have the yeti and I gifted my nephew the quadcast. I really do think the yeti has better out the box audio, but the quadcast does have nifty features. Funny you replied so quick, I changed my mind about the blue yeti x, I'm gonna just by the quadcast for a few reasons. I do VC with friends a lot and i do use the mute button frequently so quadcast wins. Quadcast I do believe picks up less noise in general compared to the yeti. So while my voice won't sound as bassy or punchy, it'll do good not picking up background noise in my house. I can probably finetune the voice settings of the yeti with voicemeter banana or a different sound program on my PC to be perfect for me. Plus it's like $96 at my local bestbuy and on amazon so.
@@yourfavoriteMex Check out the Fifine K658 if you are trying to cut back on background sounds and you want a really nice mute button. Just a slight touch and it’s instant with no feedback. It’s a dynamic so it’s much better on background noise than a condenser like the Yeti or Quadcast. But Quadcast would probably be the most “natural” sound. The Fifine sounds a little bit more “podcast” or “radio”, but it’s very good for the price if background noise is an issue.
I've seen a few people with this issue im not sure its common but with the blue yeti, after awhile if you just jolt it a little bit it seems to cut the headphones off. (again im not sure if its common but its a problem a lot of people and me have).
You cannot talk about Hyper X without bringing up the fact that the Hyper X just stops working after about a month of using it. The audio quality just goes to tr s, and I've had at least 5 of them in the past 6 months. My last mic before Hyper X, I used for over 5 years.
I’m looking for a mic that will pick up clear audio between 4 people sitting around a table so something with wide range capability, Ive heard that the Blue Yeti is ideal for that but I like the sound of the Quadcast more and was just curious if it would also be good for wide range like the Blue Yeti if any of y’all had any answer or suggestions
my friend has been looking for a mic for like ever so i think im going to recommend hum the quadcast. it has a much nice look to it and the audio sounds a lot crisper on it the the yeti
I like the sound from Yeti slightly more, but I think there's noticeably higher % of manufacturing defects / durability problems on them. Seems that QuadCast is better in that front.
@@MidnightPodcast Would be helpful if you provided at least some references along with your claim. LUL I'm not saying you are necessarily wrong, but simple "No." is pretty useless.
@@MidnightPodcast With mics as well as pretty much all audio equipment the "better" sound quality is highly matter of personal taste. (I have been professional audio product designer and setup designer over 20 years.) That's why I wrote: "I like the sound from Yeti slightly more..." and not that "Yeti has a better sound quality".
Blue yeti will be a lot better if you aren't on a windows computer, but if you are I suggest that. But if your on MacOS like me and on PS5 I suggest the blue yeti x
I recommend stereo for discord if a lot if people are talking because you can be in places in speakers where other are not and normal people are in the middle but your wide out.
Both of these mics have fantastic audio quality, surely he's using some filters on these on top of the regular mic? I doubt the vocal quality for streams will be that good just using the mic alone, no?
I have the quadcast and its really that good... It's almost ridiculous. You just need to use the right setting, the right amount of gain and talk about 20 - 30 cm away from the mic.
Hey GameSpot thx a lot for this wonderful video. Well made, great quality, you good man! I have a question: Did you test the jack-3.5mm output of the HyperX? I'm planning to buy one but I need to connect it to a camera that has a 3.5mm input, and I was wondering if the sound is good from the 3.5mm too? Thx
I just got the Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft edition because it looks great was said to be great and was $100 off so like why not. I'm broke as it is and trying to start a YT channel so a $100 yeti mic that is usually $200 should be sufficient. I do like the look of the Hyper X but rather not spend extra money. Especially since I play WOW a lot and now have a WOW themed mic. Does anyone know of a good arm for a yeti though? I am not sure if I want a arm or if ill leave it on the desk.
I bought the Quadcast in '21 had trouble getting good voice over audio. So I let my son use it for gaming. Then I finally figured out what was causing the audio to be off. I wasn't close enough to the mic so it was picking up some of the echo in the room. Then when getting close enough the "P"ops would cause the audio to hit the red...which was fixed when I added a pop filter. With all that figured out, I really like the sound. I would recommend it. However, my son has taken it over again for gaming, so I think I'm going to try the Yeti. Here's a video with a Hyper X voice over, I'll try to remember to stop in with an example of the Yeti: th-cam.com/video/sUCzZJEqpn0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_cFlCVqca5xZprOV

I’m looking for a mic that will pick up clear audio between 4 people sitting around a table so something with wide range capability, Ive heard that the Blue Yeti is ideal for that but I like the sound of the Quadcast more and was just curious if it would also be good for wide range like the Blue Yeti if any of y’all had any answer or suggestions
Did you end up buying the quadcast?
Thank you for this video.
Boom Arm: 07/09/23 Which boom arm are you using on this clip, or do you recommend another, at this point?
i have a blue snowball should i upgrade to a hyper x?
ty for the review to me the blue yeti sounds crisper and a little louder which i like so ty
No.
my friend has been looking for a mic for like ever so i think im going to recommend hum the quadcast. it has a much nice look to it and the audio sounds a lot crisper on it the the yeti
Can I ask please which of two are good for asmr sounds? Blue yeti or hyperx? Thanks
We gonna just ignore the fact that he juat smelled a mic that had a sock on it
11:24
You made that mic sound amazing, any video tutorial on how to set it a pro, for dummies.
Perfect timing with this I really need something more professional that won't break the bank...thank you!😊
Ah yes, these will fit real nicely~
...oh
w-what???
I'm scared
@@skiepersonal of course you are
I like the sound from Yeti slightly more, but I think there's noticeably higher % of manufacturing defects / durability problems on them. Seems that QuadCast is better in that front.
No.
@@MidnightPodcast Would be helpful if you provided at least some references along with your claim. LUL
I'm not saying you are necessarily wrong, but simple "No." is pretty useless.
@@tkermi The HyperX is better.
@@MidnightPodcast With mics as well as pretty much all audio equipment the "better" sound quality is highly matter of personal taste. (I have been professional audio product designer and setup designer over 20 years.) That's why I wrote: "I like the sound from Yeti slightly more..." and not that "Yeti has a better sound quality".
@@tkermi You're allowed to have an opinion, but you're wrong.
Yeti all the way I prefer to utilize the volume knob for mic monitoring.
No.
My personal choice for pro gigs in Karaoke apps is the Blue Yeti.
I Wanted A Good Mic in the 15k price range and This Video Is Worth Watching . I really enjoyed this video !!!
Blue yeti will be a lot better if you aren't on a windows computer, but if you are I suggest that. But if your on MacOS like me and on PS5 I suggest the blue yeti x
I recommend stereo for discord if a lot if people are talking because you can be in places in speakers where other are not and normal people are in the middle but your wide out.
What time I was actually looking for a new mic the hyper X quad cast S maybe the one I’m getting
Got the blue yeti first right, decided it wasn't for me then went with the quadcast and have been happy ever since.
Both of these mics have fantastic audio quality, surely he's using some filters on these on top of the regular mic? I doubt the vocal quality for streams will be that good just using the mic alone, no?
I have the quadcast and its really that good... It's almost ridiculous. You just need to use the right setting, the right amount of gain and talk about 20 - 30 cm away from the mic.
@@hover6662 What settings would you recommend.
@@hover6662 im thinking of getting the quad cast. what gain level and windows gain settings do you recommend for the best possible sound
@@hover6662 what settings are good?
@@hover6662 what are your recommendations?
Hi. Compared to Audio Technica ATR2500x-UBS, which one is better in sound quality and noise cancellation?
the audio technica
Great Video. Ty.
The thing I don't like in the QuadCast is the light, I wished it was less intense and that it was possible to turn it off.
It's insane how good the quality is for this price!
Thank you for information
Hey GameSpot thx a lot for this wonderful video. Well made, great quality, you good man! I have a question: Did you test the jack-3.5mm output of the HyperX? I'm planning to buy one but I need to connect it to a camera that has a 3.5mm input, and I was wondering if the sound is good from the 3.5mm too? Thx
Hi, i just bought a Hyper X Quadcast S microphone but i dont know what stand do i have to buy. Any recommendations?
I just got the Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft edition because it looks great was said to be great and was $100 off so like why not. I'm broke as it is and trying to start a YT channel so a $100 yeti mic that is usually $200 should be sufficient. I do like the look of the Hyper X but rather not spend extra money. Especially since I play WOW a lot and now have a WOW themed mic. Does anyone know of a good arm for a yeti though? I am not sure if I want a arm or if ill leave it on the desk.
Checkout the blue compass boom arm by Blue.
A hiking sock as a pop filter was a pretty great idea still lol
Hyper X is the best microphone EVER.
No matter how old it is, It's insane how good it still is.
I bought the Quadcast in '21 had trouble getting good voice over audio. So I let my son use it for gaming. Then I finally figured out what was causing the audio to be off. I wasn't close enough to the mic so it was picking up some of the echo in the room. Then when getting close enough the "P"ops would cause the audio to hit the red...which was fixed when I added a pop filter. With all that figured out, I really like the sound. I would recommend it. However, my son has taken it over again for gaming, so I think I'm going to try the Yeti. Here's a video with a Hyper X voice over, I'll try to remember to stop in with an example of the Yeti: th-cam.com/video/sUCzZJEqpn0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_cFlCVqca5xZprOV
What is the shocker to combine with this blue yeti
