HyperX QuadCast and QuadCast S
About:
HyperX QuadCast and QuadCast S are perfect all-inclusive microphones for gamers, streamers, and podcasters, that are looking for the best microphone with great quality sound and a lot of useful features that make the microphone unique and easy to use.
Design:
The design of both microphones is attractive and clean. Quad Cast comes in black color with red strings attached to its anti-shock mount and with a red light indicator inside of the in-build pop filter that shows you if your microphone is muted or not. On the other side microphone, Quad Cast S also comes in black color with black strings and RGB lights inside of the in-build pop filter the color of which can be changed with their HyperX NGENUITY software.
Great features:
Of course, these two microphones come with their own special features like an Anti-Vibration shock mount, a Tap-to-Mute sensor with LED indicator on the top, and gain control on the front just to name a few (all of the features are listed below this sector for easier look thru). These two microphones also come with four different selectable polar patterns that help you record only the things you want them to. Those four patterns are Stereo (Can be used for recording vocals and instruments), omnidirectional (For recording Multi-person podcasts or conference calls), Cardioid (For podcasts, streaming, voiceovers, instruments), and Bidirectional (Best for interviews and scenarios when there are two people talking to each other).

Usability and first time set up
When I first got my QuadCast microphone it came with all things included that I might need for setting it up. When I got it out of the box and tried to connect it to my pc everything was quite straightforward. I took the USB-C to USB-A cable and connect my microphone which has USB-C to my pc on USB-A. They connected and just like that my QuadCast was ready for use. Usability is also great. The sound is amazing and the microphone is working as it should. Gain control and mute are really some of the most amazing things so I can control how loud my audience hears me and easily mute myself whenever I want to. I always use the Cardioid polar pattern so my voice is loud and clear and not interrupted by my noisy computer or my loud keyboard that much.
