  • the Apogee Hype Mic is solid, well-built, compact, well-accessorized, & matches the hype
Style: Hype Mic
Apogee is known for making solid products. This latest mic is beautifully made and they provide it with a great little case, with almost everything you'll need to make great recordings. I use it for voice-over, especially when I need portability. It is one of the few quality condenser mics that can plug directly into the iPad and work without external power. I tried a larger Marshall USB mic and it required a powered camera adapter -- that can be a pain, if you're trying to record where an outlet is not easily available. The mic itself has some nifty features, like the (almost) zero-latency headphone jack with adjustable mix b/w headphones and playback, a fairly easy-to-use gain setting dial, and it's much-bragged-about built-in compression. That feature is much more important for broadcast/podcast use. For voice-over, many clients want to be able to go back to raw signal and hardware compression means the "original" signal has been messed with on input. But, for a recent promo-style VO, the lowest compression setting worked well for me, and it's easy enough to turn off. The mic quality itself is really pretty darned good. It's good enough for professional work. I haven't compared it to my highest-end mics, but it did the job. One thing it's missing -- that Apogee doesn't provide with any of its mics -- is a shock mount. They provide a tripod with a ball mount (very adjustable and solid), but you can easily get low-end rumble transmitted from mic handling or vibration of a table or floor. I did experiment, and the Rycote InVision USM-L (or USM) can be used, so there is a viable option. But that's another ~$70. Overall (and because I already have the Rycote), I've found it to be a valuable mic to have and I'm glad I bought it. It's not cheap, but it's high-quality & sometimes you get what you pay for. ... show more

  • Recording quality and ease of use
Style: Hype Mic
Although it is on the pricey side this mic has beautiful sound quality. Very easy to use. I use it for recording my podcasts. I connected it to my I-phone and sound quality was perfect. However, when connected to my desktop (which is a ten years old Toshiba) for an online interview, I wasn’t as satisfied with the sound quality. Was it the old computer or the mic I do not know. I am not a techie. All I know, it is a high quality mic recommended to me by a friend who is a dubbing artist. Those of you on a tighter budget could look for other mics recommended by podcasters. Had I known good quality, below 100$ mics were available, I might have considered different options. All said and done, I am happy with my purchase. It is quite a small size, very portable, easy to mount and start. Comes handy with a nice hard top bag. Hope this helps. ... show more

  • Apogee Hype Mic
Style: Hype Mic
First of all, I would like to say that it matches my MacBook I have :) I haven't used my new mic as of today; however, I had an old version of this mic and I know the quality of it. I am really excited to get started on vocals using this mic. I really like the fact that it is small and compact but delivers a great huge sound for what I need. I know I made the right choice in purchasing this mic for my specific needs. Excited!!!!! ————————— Updated review: I have used it in Logic Pro X to record by vocals!!! Yess!!!! I love it.. it has Vo press ion built in so using an interface is really not necessary. Excellent quality mic for singers/ vocals… home studio … you will definitely be impressed!!!! ... show more

  • Solid travel mic; exceeds expectations
Style: Hype Mic + 3 Year Apogee Assure Warranty
I travel a lot on business and find myself in hotel rooms creating videos for work. This is an absolutely excellent mic for these situations. It's not as good as my main go-to (a $3000 Neumann U87), but that's to be expected. It sound excellent regardless... and the portability is superb. It comes with a great travel case that includes the mic, a tripod, and three cables (one mini USB to USB-C, one mini USB to USB-A, and one mini USB to Lightning), a pop filter, a little hex wrench for the tripod (not sure if I'll ever use this, but I keep it in the case regardless) and a nice, lamented user guide to remind you of what those buttons do. 🙂 If you're on the road a lot and need a good mic for voiceovers and/or podcasts, this is the mic to get. ... show more

  • This mic was already overpriced and now is ridiculous. Good small mic but not at its inflated price
Style: Hype Mic
Got this microphone for recording instrumentals. Pretty easy to use and it was kind of expensive at the time, but with a new company owner and a rise in price of nearly 50% (Tariff or greed) would not recommend it at that price. Works with my iPhone and iMac desktop. Came with the pop screen and tripod. ... show more

  • Outstanding podcast mic
Style: Hype Mic
The Hypemic is much smaller than most podcast mics, so you don't need a huge arm to hold it in front of you. I used a Blue Yeti for years, and the quality was okay for a few years ago, but not up to date. I'm really happy with the quality of the sound, which is very adjustable, the ease of use, and mostly, the very small footprint on my desk. ... show more

  • So expensive for what it is, and the extra features don't work well.
Style: Hype Mic
I got this because I wanted a dead simple mic for twitter spaces and podcasting. I wanted the effects to be built into the mic so that I didn't have to do any of that with software. Unfortunately the mic sounded garbage and none of the effects could help it. I wound up getting a much cheaper mic that sounds just fine. I'd still like to find a dummy simple mic but this ain't it. ... show more

  • Great little microphone
Style: Hype Mic
This is a great little microphone!! I use it in my mobile studio for voice-overs. Small, compact, portable and easy to set up and break down. And the sound quality is fantastic!! I love the headphone jack in the mic body so I don't have to plug into my computer.
