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.
