HyperX QuadCast – USB Condenser Gaming Unidirectional Microphone, for PC, PS4 and Mac, Red LED – Black (HX-MICQC-BK)
- Built-in anti-vibration shock mount: Isolate the mic and suppress the sound of unintentional rumbles and bumps with the elastic rope suspension.

Awesome mic. Love it. And i got for nearly a 5k off during sale with bank card u have to look dailyfor the offers . Believe me even the mic which costs above 20k doesn’t sound good as this. Very easy to use. Easy mic loudness catch option. 4 modes u can select. Hard built metal stand. Very long cable. VALUE for money. It come with vibration dampner . Ultra sensitive mic on off button I luv it.

Duocast is a very good mic, i am using this for streaming and voiceover it’s working great even software support is good, one down side is it’s from Amazon or retailer package was quite damaged from inside, always make a video while opening any package 👍 overall product is working fine and most importantly boom arm is not included.

Cons
1. Forget using it with stock stand if you intend to use it on desk surrounded by keyboard clicks and hand movements on desk this thing produces a rumble check youtube alpha gaming video where he compares this with razer siren mini and snowball and a fifine its exactly like that. There are other videos which also document this.
2. No software customising of voice texture
3. No gain knob on mic but that’s ok.
4. No zero latency monitoring but that’s ok they have added a better mic hardware
Workaround for rumble on win plus obs
I had a Ahuja desk mic stand I hooked it up on that but did not have a shock mount for this it was still catching the rumble added a noise suppression filter called RSSNoise and it worked much better.
Will update if I find a better solution.
Well now that we have got the hard part of out of the way lets talk pros.
Pros
1. Plug and play tested on win 10, android (OnePlus 8T), ipad Air with USB 3 adapter.
2. On Windows 10 worked instantly with OBS.
3. It’s usb type c
4. Mic mute button on top, this is the best and it’s a capacitive touch button I would buy just for this
5. If you don’t fidgit on your desk the audio is really good and if u place it close to your mouth it’s nice and clean and warm which I liked.
6. If you ignore the rumble effect the actual audio captured in obs is really good.
7. At 5790 it is really great value for money hyperx got the right mix for this price type c , the mic , tap to mute and that indicator led upfront. Minimal design for the money. Great balance I would say for design components.
8. Finding a mic at low price which just works out of the box without driver issues on so many platforms is great.
9. Overall mic voice pickup pattern is great and does descent background rejection of other stuff if u speak closer to the mic and keep the gain in obs to -25db or -20db.
check my attached screenshot for final OBS settings.
Will add here as I discover more.

The Duocast is a good mic (perhaps the best bang for the buck). Looks good, has an internal pop filter, built-in shock mount, and type c port). Perfect for anyone trying out a good USB mic.
BUT I had to return this the very next day of its delivery, because the Ngenuity software that you use for this mic does NOT recognize the mic. (Making all of its software features inaccessible)
When you plug in the mic, the mic is shown as connected in Ngenuity, but it asks you to update the firmware (which for some reason is mandatory?) That firmware update does NOT complete (you can google “duocast firmware update error” to see this yourself).
Note for the makers: atleast add links for firmware updates on your website, so one can update the firmware manually (considering your software is broken and cannot do it on its own)
This error has been happening for months and there is no solution offered by HyperX (as per the forum posts I have seen). It is disappointing that good hardware is being severely hampered by terrible software.
While the software may not offer many features (I believe compared to Blue Yeti Nano, HyperX doea not get you a lot of software functions), it discourages you from opting for any of their products.
This bummed me out as this was my New Year purchase, and had to be returned the very next day.

Its recording is amazing. I used it on my youtube channel and it is quite good. Value for money product.

It’s a very good USB mic just do you know if you think the noise cancelation isn’t working there is a little thing on the bottom with dots on it that is known as the gain if u increase it to the biggest dot it will take the all the sound around you and if you set it two the lowest/the smallest dot it will only take your voice so set that according to your need. Otherwise it’s better than the blue yeti or any other USB mics.
