I’ve been using this mic since 2020 and What can I say Elgato know their stuff.The sleek look while giving amazing audio quality all while being a usb mic is impressiveThe mic comes feature rich with a touch to mute on topA 1/4 in Jack for audio monitoring (which can also be done in wave link software if you use wireless headphones)And a multifunctional dial that allows you to control the gain, monitor volume and cross fade between the mic and PC mix.The mic comes with a basic but robust stand but can also be mounted to most mic arms.What I believe sets this mic apart from the others is the wave link software that comes with it allowing you to split your PC audio into submixs. Each application can be set to a submix in windows audio settings ie discord to voice mix and chrome to browser.The ability to have both a normal output for yourself and a stream output makes this great for streamers allowing you full control of what you stream can hear as you can mute a submix for stream or for yourself great if you like listening to music but don’t wanna get DMCA strikes on your stream.The plug in support is also nice for the mic and you can add plug ins to each sub mix and mic individually.I would 100% recommend this mic for anyone wanting a great sounding mic out the box that only get better with the software that comes with it.

Very happy with the speed of the delivery and the quality of the product :)

I've heard the sound quality is great. And it works straight off the bat. And the build quality is ok.

If you're on the fence about getting the wave 3, let me convince you why you should, the microphone itself is great, it comes with the best software, it comes with different channels for your audio, as a content creator/podcaster this is perfect for helping seperate the audio,

Upgraded from a Blue Yeti. Worth it. Better quality, better audio, beter design, smaller and just all around better than the Blue Yeti Microphone I had.

really good thank you

We were in the market for a new mic as the cheap one we bought last year just was rubbish. As I have calls via zoom and my partner likes to game, we decided to buy a microphone that was something we both could use.I can’t believe we didn’t get this sooner. We didn’t want to go down the route of getting an audio interface to get a fancy mic, but we wanted one that would look nice and subtle and cater to both of us.My calls sound crisp as anything! And as for gaming, this USB mic does the job and more! You can download software to run with this microphone so you have its own interface so you can change the sound input and output to a range of different things.If you are in the market for a usb mic, I highly recommend going online, checking out some videos on this and then hitting the purchase now button. We’ve only had it a couple of weeks and we think it’s amazing.
