ElgatoWave Neo – USB Condenser Microphone, Tap to Mute, for Gaming, Streaming, Meetings, Voice Recording on Teams/Zoom/OBS/Twitch/YouTube & more, Plug-’n-Play, Works on Laptop, PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone

Amazing clarity and super sensitive, like I can hear the Fish tank pump running when the monitoring is on, but the wave link software is a game changer for the voice isolation. Great bang for the buck.

I bought this as an upgrade from a Blue Snowball that lasted about three days before I got tired of people telling me I sounded like I was in an auditorium no matter how I set it up, which in turn was an upgrade from a gaming headset that frankly I probably should have just stuck with. I bought this chasing a level of quality that frankly I had never really stopped to consider whether I actually needed or not, and in receiving it I quickly realized that, no, I didn't. But I'm keeping it anyways, because it's cool.Elgato has quickly become my go-to trusted source when it comes to recording tech, whether it's capture cards or microphones. As far as I'm aware they're pretty much the best their is in both the hardware and the software that powers it, and that's held up well here. The noise cancelling is great, and the wave link software also has a built-in module for nvidia broadcast's noise cancelling as a side option if you prefer it. These days the only comments I get on my mic are that I sound like I'm on a podcast, which I think is meant to be a compliment. The tap to mute is pretty sensitive, but the reviews I've seen saying that frequently turned it on by accident seem a little ridiculous to me, both because you have to hold the tap for about a second and because it has a giant red light on it that makes it hard to miss when you're muted. I've never once muted myself by accident with it, and personally I consider the sensitivity a positive because it means I can touch it softly enough that I know nobody on the other end of a call can hear it.But even more importantly, you can use wave link's audio effect marketplace to download a few dumb little addons that make you sound like you're talking through a Fallout pipboy, or a gritty call of duty operator headset, and I can throw on all sorts of my own old timey effects until it's completely unintelligible to mess with my friends. What more could I ask for?

Quality mic, easy to use. The button to turn on mic is a little sensitive and I wish the app had a little more features to control like the output and tone

Very easy setup. I use it for streaming. Super simple to use

I've had a number of Blue Yeti mics and, for years, have generally preferred Amazon Basics Professional Condenser Microphones over the Blue Yeti. The audio quality from the Elgato Wave Neo mic is on par with the Blue Yeti and Amazon Professional Condenser mic. It has a cardioid pattern that, as far as I can tell, is not adjustable to other patterns. So, it does lack some features that those other mics have, but I don't do face-to-face interviews or anything, so my mics are ALWAYS set to cardioid anyway. The mic has audio out, but my understanding is that this is just a nearby 3.5mm jack for headphones and it is NOT an audio monitor jack for hearing yourself.I've generally preferred the Amazon mic over the Blue Yeti because of the OLED display. That sounds silly, but it's a great way to see when my mic is muted. I have, for years, used my Stream Deck to toggle my mic mute back and forth and I liked how the OLED was always in sync with that status. I know the Blue Yeti had a mute capability but clicking things on microphones to mute/unmute almost always introduces noise that the other end can hear, so I've always gone with the software solution instead.Fast forward to this Elgato Wave Neo, and my process is changing a bit. I've stopped using my Stream Deck to toggle mute because the Elgato has a capacitive touch button to mute/unmute which turns a light white/red based on status. It's a VERY touch-sensitive button, which I like because I can barely touch it (or not even touch it) to mute/unmute so there's no bumping of the mic. This frees up a Stream Deck button and is nicer/more obvious mute display. Plus, the mic is easily the best looking mic I've ever seen. It no longer looks like hardware pulled from the local radio station but looks sleek and stylish. Plus, USB C. No more Micro USB falling out of the Amazon mic when I bump my desk wrong. It's a weird boot (for aesthetics) on the USB cable that plugs into the mic, but I think a normal cable would work just fine, as well.Overall, yes, I'd highly recommend this mic. In fact, I prefer this over all other mics I've had so far. And it is EASILY the best-looking mic available!

Uso una MacBook M1 y tengo muchos problemas. Los programas como WhatsApp o Teams no reconocen el micrófono. Extrañamente lo reconocen como si fuera un parlante y no como micro. Así que es virtualmente inservible. Incluso descargando su programa para configurarlo.Quizá sirva mejor en Windows. Pero se le publicita como compatible con Mac, lo cual no es cierto en mi caso (tengo el último OS y actualizado a la fecha).
