Blue Yeti: amzn.to/3v50qcl
HyperX QuadCast: amzn.to/3rzqTMH
Want to get great audio in your streams, multiplayer games and content creation? Today we are talking about two of the most popular USB microphones on the market right now, that is the Hyper X Quadcast and the Blue Yeti, both extremely popular choices for gamers and Twitch streamers alike.
Both the HyperX Quadcast and the Blue Yeti have been out for a while now, but they are constantly compared to each other and are still real competitors when it comes to being some of the best USB mics in their price range.
The Quadcast comes in HyperX's trademark black and red colours, with the microphone being illuminated whenever the user is audible. If you want to go a level higher to the Quadcast S you get the bonus of RGB customization, but the base model is fixed in crimson. The regular Quadcast does come with some features that make it a great mic for streaming and content creation straight out of the box, such as its integrated pop filter and tap-to-mute functionality.
Up against it is the Blue Yeti. It's a larger and heavier device than the Quadcast but still comes with the same four audio profiles. It does, however, have better audio monitoring functionality with its adjustable passthrough to allow the user to monitor their audio levels during livestreams or recording sessions.
While these USB microphones are very similar, in the video above we go through the differences that separate them and name our mic pick for gamers and content creators.
Audio and voiceover were recorded with each microphone during the relevant sections, and treated with identical post-production settings to ensure a fair comparison.

One thing to know about the Yeti: It's not living up to its full potential straight out of the box. It needs a shock mount. It needs a pop filter. It helps a LOT to acoustically treat your room (which is true for every mic)

Quadcast feels much more natural and organic, Blue yeti you can actually hear the compression and pre-EQ applied to it. The average listener might find yeti captures a better range, but Imo it's better to have things RAW and apply compressor / EQ post, because if it's already applied you can't undo it. It's like having a selfie camera that always has smoothening / beauty filters applied, you'd have to basically try to edit out the effect to try to get it to feel natural again. Ps. This is one of the best reviews out there. This guy went straight into the details. I find that people who make mic reviews like the sound of their voice too much and just end up rambling, trying to make witty jokes, and going off too many tangents. Really appreciate this.

The yeti definitely has more body to the sound and higher quality, the quadcast is more soul less (not to the point of having a very high difference in quality tho) but to compensate it has a shockmount and a pop filter already integrated so you are gonna waste less money to make it functional compared to the yeti that you need a arm and a pop filter.

Funny you replied so quick, I changed my mind about the blue yeti x, I'm gonna just by the quadcast for a few reasons. I do VC with friends a lot and i do use the mute button frequently so quadcast wins. Quadcast I do believe picks up less noise in general compared to the yeti. So while my voice won't sound as bassy or punchy, it'll do good not picking up background noise in my house. I can probably finetune the voice settings of the yeti with voicemeter banana or a different sound program on my PC to be perfect for me. Plus it's like $96 at my local bestbuy and on amazon so.

@@yourfavoriteMex Check out the Fifine K658 if you are trying to cut back on background sounds and you want a really nice mute button. Just a slight touch and it’s instant with no feedback. It’s a dynamic so it’s much better on background noise than a condenser like the Yeti or Quadcast. But Quadcast would probably be the most “natural” sound. The Fifine sounds a little bit more “podcast” or “radio”, but it’s very good for the price if background noise is an issue.

I just got the Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft edition because it looks great was said to be great and was $100 off so like why not. I'm broke as it is and trying to start a YT channel so a $100 yeti mic that is usually $200 should be sufficient. I do like the look of the Hyper X but rather not spend extra money. Especially since I play WOW a lot and now have a WOW themed mic. Does anyone know of a good arm for a yeti though? I am not sure if I want a arm or if ill leave it on the desk.

You cannot talk about Hyper X without bringing up the fact that the Hyper X just stops working after about a month of using it. The audio quality just goes to tr s, and I've had at least 5 of them in the past 6 months. My last mic before Hyper X, I used for over 5 years.
