  • Crystal-Clear Voice That Stops the Lobby — Everyone Asks What Mic She’s Using Crystal-Clear Voice That Stops the Lobby — Everyone Asks What Mic She’s Using
Color: White Set name: Wave:3 White
I purchased the Elgato Wave:3 (White) for my daughter as a Christmas gift, and it has been an absolute home run. The very first time she logged into a game after setting it up, her friends immediately stopped mid-conversation to ask, “What microphone are you using?” That alone says everything. The voice clarity is outstanding — clean, rich, and studio-level crisp. Compared to her previous USB microphone, the difference isn’t subtle at all. Background noise is dramatically reduced, her voice cuts through perfectly, and every word sounds natural and professional without any tinkering or complicated setup. The build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Elgato: solid, premium, and thoughtfully designed. Paired with her other Elgato gear, it elevates her entire streaming and gaming setup to a truly next-level experience. The Wave Link software is powerful yet intuitive, giving her full control over audio without frustration. Most importantly, she absolutely loves it — and when your mic becomes a conversation starter in every lobby, you know it’s doing something right. This is a phenomenal upgrade for anyone serious about streaming, gaming, or online communication. 5 stars without hesitation. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Great mic, pretty good price
Pros: - Mute button is nice. I was looking for a mic with a mute button, for when people enter my room unexpectedly while I'm talking to friends online. It works great. - Sounds great, even from a couple feet away and at a slight angle. I am not interested in keeping my mouth directly on a microphone, so I looked for one that was good at a slight distance. It also has a built in feature that removes sharp sibilant sounds, like "S" and "T". I haven't tested this feature extensively, but it seems to work well - no pop filter necessary. - Nice and thin, easy to keep on a desk. - USB-C, much better than the micro USB on my Blue Yeti Nano. The port on my Yeti Nano broke, which is why I had to buy a new mic in the first place. - Looks pretty, though that's subjective. I like the aesthetics quite a bit, looks modern and sleek. Cons - It's a bit pricey. I don't regret buying it at this price, but I wouldn't say it's a super competitive price either. Easier to justify for a livestreamer, less easy to justify just for Discord or Zoom. - Kinda tall. If I have it in front of me it blocks my view of my screen. However, I'm comparing it to my Yeti Nano, which is a particularly small mic. It's probably no taller than a full sized Blue Yeti or other similar mics. I keep it off to the side a bit which solves this issue, and it still sounds fine. Conclusion: I am happy with my purchase. It's a very welcome upgrade from my Blue Yeti Nano. You could probably find a better bang-for-your-buck mic, especially if you don't care about the features I do (size, mute button, USB-C). But if this mic lasts for years like my old mic did, then it will certainly have been worth the money. ... show more

  • Elgato Wave 3 Review
It sounds amazing even without the software, but then with the wavelink software it is amazing, the noise removal is amazing, sound quality is amazing, it is light and made of a good material, volume is easy to control with the notches and the software. Super easy to connect, it’s just a plug right into the pc, I went with the black one and it looks pretty sleek, it is sturdy and doesn’t wobble. ... show more

  • Big fan of the Elgato Wave 3
Bought this Microphone recently to replace my old standing mic and im very much a fan for the price its very good has very nice clear sounding input and is pretty compact and small size that fits perfectly on my desk. In terms of functionality it comes with its own app that you download from the website and pretty standard but sometimes thats for the best especially when you can have other apps control more specifics on the quality and the tone of the input. ... show more

  • Great quality, great sound
This microphone has been awesome to use and have. Great clarity, easy to use, and really good background sound filtering. If you are used to a headset microphone, I understand the hesitation to move to something like this. But it's worth it. Dealing with a boom really isn't that big of a deal, especially since you can adjust the gain on the microphone and it does a great job of picking up voice even if you have the microphone a couple feet away from your face ... show more

  • Awesome Mic with a Learning Curve
This usb microphone came highly recommended from the streaming community and from many of my gaming friends online. And let me say, the recommendations were all correct. First, and arguably most important, the mic is VERY much worth the price in it's own right. As a usb condencer, it's not going to be the best quality, but for the price it sounds awesome right out of the box. Simple physical setup, just plug in the usb cord, and away you go. After some tuning in OBS, this thing is smoooooth. The real value, and pain, is in the wave software. I unfortunately found an audio bug when first installing and had to reinstall the software to get a perminent loop out of the feed. Once working correctly, I needed to go through at least a couple hours of setup to sort all my sound outputs (games, music, browser, discord, etc) and configure OBS. I'm pretty technical myself, so when I say it took awhile to wrap my head around the process... Yeah... But! The end product is totally worth it, as I have much better control over sound vs the alternatives and the recordings sound awesome! As a tip: I did opt to split the direct mic feed from the stream within OBS. I have Mic1 as my actual wave 3 mic and Mic2 as the wave stream. This allowed me to do some fine turning within OBS on my voice without influencing game sound. Again, more setup, more time, more Alpha Gaming youtube videos to watch. Overall, I've invested 3-4 solid hours into just initial setup and getting familiar with the basics of this mic. I will probably spend more time messing around and tweaking options. That being said, I am very happy with the product and look forward to improvements on the software side. The software actually makes it easier in the long run, so the initial investment in time is 100% worth the effort. Also, get a mic boom arm. This microphone loves being close close close to your face. ... show more

Love this mic! I use it when I'm recording content. And works great with speakflow.com voice teleprompter software. The build quality is solid too.
