  • I really like the performance of pop-/noise-filtering by the NZXT - especially compared with HyperX. But I am seriously impressed by the sound of elgato wave. I NEVER expected it to beat the first two (in my subjective flavouring). If I'd need to pick one up, it 100% would be one of the last two. (Btw HyperX, if you're reading this: stop slacking folks. I am still waiting for a worthy successor for my first white Cloud Headset. No 7.1blabla, no cranky mic.. just pure headphone plus good mic. Analog please. And WHITE)

  • bro, was the hyper x clipping in the first test before the back to back? also the elgato and nzxt sound the most comparable. Objectively it seems like the NZXT is not as kind to the highmids a bit as the elgato, These all sound great though. Fantastic comparison. It would be nice to see a spectrum analyzer for real time freq response. But I'll just screen cap and throw into ableton to check myself. cheers

  • I love my Wave 3, but if I had to choose another; I would be going with the Rode mic. NZXT putting the USB-C on the bottom is a terrible design. You can see the input bent at an angle when it's plugged in. Wave is an infinite rotary, but at least it has lights to tell you where you're at.

  • Nice vid! Wish this came out couple of months ago because the white one would've fit my build so well! I think the wave 3 would be a better comparison since the rode was $20 less and the wave 3 being $20 more with damn near the same features. P.D. Also I'm not sure why, but right now it's cheaper to buy the wave 3 than the wave 1 in amazon 😎👌

  • When you were doing the mic test footage, it looks like the USB C cable head was bending while in the bottom of the mic. Do you think thats just poor port placement on NZXT's part? Compared to the HyperX, the Elgato, and the Rode with rear ports. Just an observation. Maybe a 90° cable would be a solution? Love all your vids my friend. You're the best.
