    • Solid microphone
Style: Alias
A bit pricey for what it is, but works seamlessly with the SteelSeries ecosystem. Definitely need SteelSeries GG to bring out its full potential
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023 by YC
    • A bit of an overestimation.
Style: Alias
Sound quality is amazing, the mute button is super handy, the stand is great and looks good and it’s easy to mount on a mic arm. Only downside is it needs a ton of fiddling to get the volume right but you aren’t provided with many ways to do it easily. The gain knobs on it feel honestly useless, and on discord I keep getting told I’m too quiet when sometimes you can hear the tv downstairs from it. I love the steel series software for everything else but it doesn’t feel great customizing this mic. ... show more

    • Excellent Quality - Not for Beginners
Style: Alias Pro
This is a commercial-quality microphone best suited for content creators instead of the general public. The box comes with a microphone that is suspended via tension bands (to eliminate vibrations), a desk stand, a boom adapter, a control box, an XLR cable, 2 USB-a to USB-c cables, and a power cable. There is a wiring diagram included in the instructions, but unlike other products where the USB ports are mostly interchangeable, they are not on this product. There is one main USB-c port on the control device (which goes to the computer) for connecting the microphone. The other USB-c port is for dual streaming to a secondary computer. Make sure these ports are connected correctly - the instructions don't mention the distinction but getting them wrong results in the microphone not working. Also, to use the Alias Pro, you MUST download SteelSeries' GG audio software which runs on top of your windows audio settings. Going forward, anything needing to do with audio on your computer needs to run through this software. It takes a bit to get the software installed and running - and to accommodate other sound-producing apps such as iTunes, Windows media, your browser, or any streaming apps installed on your computer. All must be mapped within the GG audio software for sound to work. However, once everything is set up and configured correctly, it works well, and the GG software gives you much more control over the quality of the sound output, including extensive equalizer functionality. Once connected with the software installed, use the control box to turn on your microphone when you want to use it. There is a button to easily mute the mic as well as a gain dial to ensure your voice is loud and dynamic enough without popping. And the quality of your recorded voice is truly outstanding. I had previously used both a wand microphone and an embedded microphone in my webcam which worked fine for Zoom calls. But the quality of sound from this microphone is ten times better. There is less background noise, no hiss, and the natural ranges of your voice come through clearly. As suggested earlier, I ran into problems installing this microphone, but SteelSeries' customer service was quite good. They only work via email and they are only available during weekday business hours, but they are knowledgeable and responsive. It took a couple of iterations to figure out my issue and the customer service agent had to talk with product specialists to get the answer. But they solved my problem. If you're looking for an easy plug-and-play microphone, this is not what you want. But, if you're looking for a professional-quality microphone and audio software platform - and don't mind changing the audio config of your computer a bit - the Alias Pro is an excellent option. ... show more

    • Unique design and flashy effects but... substance is lacking. Missed potential for a winner.
Style: Alias
Firstly, I have been a longtime fan of SteelSeries using numerous headsets of theirs over the years and have always admired their fit, finish, and overall quality. SteelSeries is also heavily pushing the use of their software (GG) alongside the promotion of this mic. And what I can say is that GG is a FANTASTIC piece of audio software. In fact, I was already using it for months with my other mic before the Alias even released. That was partly why I was excited for the Alias when it was announced because I was already so impressed with what SteelSeries had done with GG, I was really curious to see what a dedicated mic would be like from them. Seriously, if you haven't already go download GG from SteelSeries' site and check it out for yourself. In my opinion, the AI Noise Cancelation technology for the mic EQ is a MUST. It is easily the most effective software noise cancelation tech I've ever used - and it's the sole reason I've used GG for a year now. That, and the robust mic EQ. 9/10 audio software that is missing just a couple additional features which keeps it from being basically perfect. Back to the mic at hand here... from the initial looks of the Alias, I was not disappointed. It's a very unique looking mic, in an elongated oval shape, clothed in fabric, held up by a "claw" shaped shock mount. The aesthetics are certainly an eye catcher. I almost forgot, there is a small RGB ring on the bottom as well which illuminates nicely off of the included stand if you plan on using that. For my purposes though, it was mounted on a boom arm. Pros: + Excellent overall build and feel. Components, while mostly plastic, feel relatively solid. The shock mount threaded bands are sturdy and support the weight of the mic with ease. There is also some nice play where you can adjust the tilt of the mic by simply moving it up or down, which allows the bands to slide in their grooves. Nice touch. + Tap to mute = total win. The mic market needs more capacitive mute functions as each iteration seems to improve on the last. It's a bonus that there is a built-in LED within the mic capsule itself that identifies when it is muted and when it's not. + RGBs on the bottom are nice but relatively useless if you're using it like me on a boom arm. They shine outward if you have the mic horizontally mounted, thus they don't really illuminate anything. But I get that that wasn't really their intended purpose. No doubt looks way better on the desk stand, even if that is the inferior recording setup. It's also worth noting that there are LEDs positioned further up the capsule which light up when any sound is detected. This is a nice feature and can be customized via software to your liking, including brightness and colors. It can also be disabled if its not your thing. + Fabric looks and feels nice, unfortunately there's where it ends for that. CONS: - The lack of a decent pop filter on this mic is killer. The fabric mesh COULD have beautifully if it was at least a little thicker, or layered. But at it is it feels very thin and minimalistic, which might look nice but performs poorly in all but the quietest of rooms. This mic picks up A LOT of higher pitched noises, whether it be the s's in your speech, key taps, or wind noise. And there is LOTS of wind noise here because of the lacking wind shield/pop filter. Unfortunately it picks up tons of plosives at just 3-4 inches away, and even at a distance of about 6 to 8 inches away, what I'd consider a max distance for quality recordings, it still easily picks up both breath and wind noise. Just with my ceiling fan going overhead there were a few instances where the mic directly picked up the wind noise blowing into the capsule. This has NEVER happened on any other mic I've tested that has an included pop filter. This only ever happens if the pop filter is removed, so in this case, the Alias might as well have no wind rejection. If you plan on using this mic, make sure it is positioned away from your face/mouth, and be mindful of any moving air in your area. Big disappointment for me. Yes, you could also slide an aftermarket wind screen over it, but not only would that look fugly, it would obscure the gain LEDs. A better, more effective wind screen solution with the fabric would have been preferred. Missed opportunity for high level performance along with clean aesthetics. - Sound quality is fine, its not bad, but its also not great. I'd consider it average for a USB mic. Unfortunately at $179, anything average sounding is hard to justify for the price. It sounds better the closer you are to it, but again, as mentioned above, it can't handle plosives at all. So, that basically eliminates a closer distance positioning as a possibility. Which also negatively affects sound quality when the mic has to be positioned further away. - Would love the ability to remove the mic from the shock mount, as I very rarely ever need a shock mount on a boom arm. Or it would have been nice to see a built-in shock mount as many mics are doing nowadays, and doing so effectively. It looks cleaner and is less bulky. The shock mount with this has a claw-like design, which is subjective obviously - you may like it or not. Personally, it wasn't a great look to me; just looks a bit awkward. I would have preferred the ability to remove it and still have it mounted - unfortunately this is impossible as the shock mount is directly apart of the threaded connector. So, to have the mic mounted in any position requires the use of the shock mount. Minor quibble to most I'd imagine, just seems like an oversight to not have that option. But not a big deal either way. - Would have loved a monitor mix dial. Those are highly underrated and underappreciated and unfortunately it was missing here. The ability for on fly adjustments to what you're hearing without messing with either the gain or overall headphone volume is extremely useful. - Unfortunately, which it is impressive in many ways, I have 2 complaints. One, they need to improve the compressor functions as it is currently barely noticeable in its implementation. Especially how it limits high end noises - I notice basically no difference in having it enabled vs not. Second, a limiter function would complete the onboard suite of filters and EQ effects - that is the one feature I have found missing from the software for some reason. That, and a useful compressor. I'm hoping SteelSeries continues to flesh this software out and it only improves - so far that has been that case, but its worth pointing out its not quite the complete audio solution that it has the potential to be. Overall: This mic had numerous intriguing aspects that made me want to try it. The unique shape and design, the fabric clothing vs a traditional metal or plastic housing, the capacitive mute, and the LED gain indicators all made this mic stand out from other current offerings. Unfortunately, while SteelSeries innovated in certain areas, they certainly forgot to nail down some of the basics. Whether its the lack of a proper in-built or external pop filters, plosives and even light wind noise are a major problem here. Sound quality, while not a problem, doesn't stand out in any way, especially at this price. Not to mention there is more handling noise than I'd like to hear as well - just moving my boom arm registered on the gain LEDs. Was hoping for a bit better noise isolation at this price point. It just... it was so close. SteelSeries was really close to a winner here. Maybe next time they'll focus on actually making a good sounding mic, rather than just RGB effects and fancy design. It's a hit and miss for me, but the misses were too great to justify keeping it. I'll be looking out for more from them in the future and hope they take feedback like this to heart. If this ever falls to $99, it's a far better deal but still a difficult recommendation with such poor wind rejection. ... show more

    • Fantastic, high quality microphone
Style: Alias
This SteelSeries Alias microphone both looks and sounds fantastic. I've tried several USB microphones recently and this one is by far my favorite, both in terms of looks and sound. The sound is very good, and it also looks great on your desk. I like the green and red LED level and mute indicators on the front, so you never have to wonder if the mic is on or muted. The customizable downward facing LED light adds a nice effect, and provides just enough ambient light to operate the mic buttons in low light gaming conditions. The mic provides amazing noise cancelling, so people hear your voice and not the noises around you. The shock resistant desk stand is also high quality. This beautifully designed microphone will add a very elegant, high quality look to your recording, work, or gaming area. If you are looking for a great microphone for gaming, podcasts, interviews, or online meetings, look no further. Be sure to download and install their free Sonar audio software to customize the mic settings. Highly recommended! ... show more
