Pros: -Incredibly easy to use; literally plug and play, with the mute being very visible -High Reliability; Had zero performance issues. Friend who got it had some issues with audio out of the box, but got it replaced in a week by HyperX. Since then, no issues (popping, robot, static, drops, etc.) -Superior Performance to virtually all other USB Condenser Mics; This may change in the future, but as of right now, you can't get a better USB Microphone on the market. Cons: -Expensive; No way to beat around the bush, this will likely be your most expensive purchase on a mic unless your an audiophile and/or professional (in either case, you wouldn't be here reading this review.) -Better Alternative Options; I'm referring to traditional XLR Condenser Mics, which are more price competitive, but require more setup (Phantom Power, Pre-Amp, USB converter or Sound Card, etc.) and audio knowledge. Part of what you're paying for here is convenience. Considering my last several mics were XLR Condenser, having the complexity and issues associated I decided this is more my speed. -Single Color Scheme; This may bother some or none, but having a red mic that literally glowing red when in use mayb clash with some peoples' setups. Maybe you don't like the color red? Maybe you have an all green battlestation? Either way, I know HyperX is all about their red, but having different color options would've been nice. Overall, if you're in the market for a great sounding easy to use USB Microphone, look no further. Everything about this is quality (metal chassis, metal stand, soft touch mute) and it looks the part. You are paying a small premium for quality AND convenience, but for me it was/is well worth it.

I've had this microphone since June of 2021, so its been over a year now and its still going strong as one of the best desktop microphones I have ever owned if not, the best. Sure there's the upgraded model, The HyperX Quadcast S, however for me at the time it was a tad out of my comfortable price range I was willing to spend on a microphone but the standard Quadcast is perfect for everything ranging from just chatting with friends to streaming with actually decent, dare I say, professional audio quality without any sort of troubleshooting out of the box. I'm not sure if the upgraded model would have suited me better but the standard model had already blown me away from both its sound and build quality. Its decently built and can withstand some abuse (my delivery person threw the microphone across my front porch to my door without care and it was perfectly fine). The stand it comes with is fine by itself and if you have the room on your desk is definitely a good option for holding the Quadcast however it can be mounted onto most microphone arms if you need to do so. I personally have my quadcast on a super cheap mounting arm and I have found it doesn't affect the overall noticeable sound quality. The only thing I can really say is a negative about this microphone is that after over a year of constant everyday use, the red lights do seem to be dimming in some spots of the microphone but it does have to be dark in the room to really notice it, besides its just cosmetic anyway so its really not an issue. I have found that a pop filter isn't entirely necessary for this microphone as the noise cancelation of most software combined with this microphone is more than enough to negate that annoying popping sound. For example, programs like Discord will completely negate not only popping but pretty much all background sounds with this microphone if you have it setup correctly, but things that use raw input like OBS, Voicemod, ect. would definitely benefit for having at least a pop filter of some sort but it doesn't need to be any high end filter by any means. Overall I would give the HyperX Quadcast a 9.7/10 for build quality, sound quality, ease of use, and the really cool looking aesthetic.
