Stream audio: headsets, mics and sound
15
items The headset, mics and audio gear behind my streams. Clear voice, good game sound, nothing that breaks the bank. If chat can hear me fine, it's on this list.
Plug it in over USB and it just works. Tap-to-mute on top saves me mid-stream, and the RGB matches the rest of my setup.
HyperX QuadCast S – USB Microphone – RGB Lighting
Clean, warm voice without fiddling with settings. The clipguard keeps me from peaking when I get loud during clutch moments.
Wave:3 MK.2
Wireless with almost no lag, and the same headset works on my PC, PlayStation and phone. Light enough for marathon streams.
Multi-Platform Wireless Headset - Razer Barracuda X
Logitech G is my brand for a reason. Comfortable for hours, swappable earpads, and the detachable mic means it doubles as my everyday headset.
Logitech G PRO X 2 Lightspeed Wireless
Small enough to sit right in front of my keyboard without blocking the camera. Great budget pick if you're just starting to stream.
Razer Seiren V3 Mini - Condenser Mic
Gets the mic off my desk so it stops picking up every key press. Low profile, so it stays out of the shot on camera.
Wave Mic Arm LP | Mic Boom Arm for Desks
The studio headphones I'd grab for editing podcast episodes and stream VODs. Flat, honest sound, so I hear what my viewers actually hear.
Audio-Technica ATH-M50X Studio Monitor
Plugs into USB and turns a pro XLR mic into clean stream audio. One knob for gain, and the green/red ring tells me if I'm too loud.
Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB-C Audio Interface
The end-game podcast mic. Rejects room noise like a champ, so chat hears me and not my fan or the street outside. Pair it with an interface.
SM7B - Vocal Microphone
Cheapest upgrade for any stream mic. Stops the pops on my P's and B's so chat isn't getting blasted, and the gooseneck clamps right onto my arm.
Aokeo Professional Microphone Pop Filter Shield
The classic first streaming mic for a reason. USB, plug it in and go, and the switch on the back lets me flip between just my voice and a whole-room setting when friends are on the podcast.
Logitech Blue Yeti USB Microphone for PC, Mac
The budget headset everybody ends up with, and it holds up. Super comfy memory foam, a mic that actually sounds decent, and it plugs into basically anything. If you can't afford wireless yet, start here.
HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset 7.1 Surround
When I'm not wearing a headset, these sit on my desk and sound way bigger than they look. USB-C powered, glowing ring underneath, and cheap enough that you won't feel bad grabbing them.
Creative Pebble V3, 2.0 USB-C Desktop Speakers ...
My pick if you want wireless without paying flagship prices. Low latency for gaming, a flip-up mic you can actually hear yourself through, and it's light enough to wear for a whole stream.
Logitech G733 Lightspeed Wireless Headset
Cheapest audio upgrade you can make. A few of these behind your desk cut the echo so your mic sounds like a real studio instead of a bathroom. Peel, stick, done.
