Hyper X Quadcast 2 Review/Test (vs. NT-USB, Solocast, Blue Yeti)

[@brockercheddlie]

Real ones remember when he used to say “please *bring* pizza pronto”

[@fredoverflow]

Lovely music test! A clear demonstration that recording equipment is rarely the limiting factor.

[@fragiIed]

although i already have my full setup on audio and what not i still love to come to these videos just to watch , theres just something about them which draws me in to watch them i dont know what it is.

[@StoryS.]

I feel that!

[@TSGEnt]

Thanks for the review! The pulsing red light is a bit annoying, but does sound good. Happy New Year!

[@senpos]

Loved the music section! Wow, this microphone sounds great. Honestly, I was really skeptical, but that's probably because the streamer that used it did not setup it properly.

[@gaborb6577]

Definitely there has been a new series Of excellent podcast mics. Definitely waited for your reference review.

[@ryan_454]

Great review as always. I am not in the market for a mic, but I can't help but click on these just to see how the mic sounds.

[@Filosofuerza]

Another great review ❤. Thanks

[@Podcastage]

Thank you very much sir, I really appreciate it!

[@TisMeBc]

having the sm57/58 in there is such a great point of comparison for just a " and here is a/THE common xlr microphone " it really does blow everything else out of the water that came before it in this comparison with your voice imho

[@Bubble123]

AMAZING review, very detailed and covers a lot 👍

[@Podcastage]

Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words!

[@Kevinfordsynthesizers]

My ears must have deteriorated over the past 60 years but the GoMic still sounds sweet to me for an insanely small amount of cash, and proving to be unbreakable - it’s still my chuck it in my suitcase mic of choice. Another super review sir.

[@sonnydthomas]

Wouldn't mind seeing a VS series episode comparing the quadcast vs the quadcast 2 just to see the differences and any minor improvements in sound

[@techmed-rainer]

Danke! Okay, this mic is red, which makes it attractive for me already. Now, let's hear how it sounds.

[@Pentti_Hilkuri]

In microphones the looks are important but even more important is the taste.

[@coffeehigh420]

omg it's so ..... well, red. Podcastage !!!!

[@arangelrb]

great, as always

[@KingCrouchy]

love the videos! I was wondering out of all the mics you have tested, what would be your best mic that you would choose for streaming that would block out background noise?

[@techmed-rainer]

Puh, I was so glad to hear some improvement of sound with the - Hello Neumann 👋 - U87 ai. Beside this I quite liked the Quadcast 2 compared to most of the competition you compared it to. Beside spoken word it did surpringly well with music. It has a nice feature set, the clicking mutte button is a bit annoying, though. As you mentioned the Røde NT USB+, I'd prefer the Quadcast 2. I didn't like the sibilance of the Røde.

[@Podcastage]

Exactly. For a usb mic it sounds great against the competition. There are fantastic XLr mics around $150 that I’d pick over this, but for those who don’t want to fiddle with that and would prefer plug and play, or any that stereo mic, this is surprisingly good to me from a gaming company. But yeah switching the u87 is night and day difference, haha! It sounds so much better to my ears.

[@techmed-rainer]

@@Podcastage Yes, in this comparison the improvement in sound quality when switching to the U87ai is really prominent - as it should be.

[@brockmannolaf7182]

Sounds good!!

[@donkeyhead68]

Great video. Still waiting for a Neumann TLM 107 video!

[@etem1989]

I'd love it!

[@sandokan5410]

Smooth sound, suits your voice.

[@artash4090]

that was great review ❤ we whant tlm 107 sir

[@Sapertf]

I feel like there isn't much difference in sound between the 2nd gen and 1st gen, the 1st gen has more high frequencies, and the 2nd gen is smoother. For someone who needs a multi-pattern microphone, I think buying the lower priced 1st gen might be a good deal?

[@Muzick]

Dig your music sir!

[@snxwr6s]

HyperX apparently also have a „pro“ version which is pure Cardioid XLR with a pure condenser instead of an electret capsule.. I wonder what you think about that one… nice video as always ❤

[@MrNanpaps265]

would you do a review of the g1 Neo 50 dollar interface, i have been looking whats good for live streaming at a budget but i dont know get the effects with only 55db of gain or get the vocaster one which is on sale for 99 dollars

[@StaticCamperVan]

As a former HyperX S user, this review was a bit surprising

[@kosakii_]

Can you review the Yamaha ydm707 dynamic microphone? theres not many reviews for it

[@leogabonadajr.5716]

Hi! can you do a Boya m1000 pro mic review? I think they sound good!

[@SKIMER]

SC2 sounds better than SC1. Tbh I hope there will be a Solocast 2 and Duocast 2, because not all people need 4 polar patterns.

[@ExxCrow]

pls test the sony c- 80

[@legacyShredder1]

....Whatcha doin with that Neumann TLM 107 back there??

[@18CC]

can u review axino antelope audio usb microphone ?

[@bhtv-1]

If I was factory reset, and was told that I absolutely had to buy a USB mic, I think I would get the RODE NT USB Mini. Its one of the best sounding USB mics I've seen, and the mini is only $100. Also, when they say Mini, they really mean Mini. Smallest mic I've ever seen. Smaller than a lewitt LCT 440 for example. Yeah, its really tiny!

[@dynastes4938]

ENGAGEMENT FOR THIS AMAZING CONTENT!

[@darkreaper9748]

hyperx quadcast 2 vs maono pd300x, which is better

[@Podcastage]

I've never used the pd300x so I'm not sure.

[@mirzaangon]

missed opportunity to make the light react to the voice

[@smalltowntourist]

Some of those plosives, though?

[@fredoverflow]

Plosives are a non-issue with proper mic technique.

[@PROzra4nij]

Those electret type mics all sounds quite the same to me though. Highs overboosted. I would not suggest them to anyone, in exception of Samson Go 😮

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Hyperx really cooked with this one and the Blue yeti should be going down in price not going up.

[@DaviMourao]

It does sound quite nice, but I guess it would be a nightmare on my non-treated room with birds nearby.

[@davidefinland6886]

not indexed?

[@mexidraw]

whatha…? I can’t believe HyperX released an updated QuadCast microphone 💀

[@yakucho8123]

Nice Review. Sound got upgrade but imo it is not worth the money :/ I would get a Vocaster One with XM8500. costs around 100 bucks and sounds better. ^^ And i hate RGB light..

[@ilikenobodyreal]

SM57 sounds the best.

[@marcom900]

Hey man lovd th video, now this one is on my top list for the next buy but i do not think that it's the right one. I'm searching for a mic that i can keep at near 40 cm from me and it delivers good audio quality, i use it just for chatting and sometime streams ( i will bring it closer for the streams) but i do not like the fact that mic needs to be in front of my mouth to be heard good, Any suggestions?

[@dylanbrown4291]

If possible itd be great if you did a usb ranking. I stubled upon your channel yesterday and i must say, youve got me interested in audio and i never thiught that was possible 😂. A lot of hard work clearly goes into these videos and they are very enjoyable.

[@tundranocaps]

The sibilance kills this microphone for me.

[@hershelshochter4703]

to be honest one of the biggest features of the quadcaster has always been that rgb light for livestream recognition in a sea of twitch thumbnails. it's eye catching.

[@mysteriesafterdark6330]

Please bring pizza pronto

[@greggleswong]

4:20 6:30 🥵

[@hjorte.]

Finally reviewing a product made in China, about time!

[@ScottGrammer]

The light is ugly as hell - but it sounds decent.

[@expe808]

150? should be 50
