    Very nice product
    The product is very good. However, if you want to use it for streaming where you only want your voice to be heard and not the keyboard, mouse, or fan noise, it may not be the best option. For example, I use it for streaming, and I've had to apply noise cancellation filters to avoid picking up my keyboard and mouse clicks on my glass mousepad. The filter works well, but when I make certain loud sounds with my voice, it detects them as noise and doesn't register them, causing certain moments to be lost. If you don't mind this issue, then this microphone is a very good option for you.

    I thought I'd reviewed this with my original purchase, but it seems I didn't. Since I've now rebought this, obviously I like it! I want to make one thing clear - I didn't rebuy it through any fault of the device, my cat broke it. He breaks lots of things. The mic itself works beautifully and has great sound for its price point. The only downside (which is also a plus) is the software. Without the Wave Link software, it can be a bit unpredictable at times. The Wave Link software itself works beautifully though, if requiring a bit of finicking to get it working the way you want.

    Absolutely, THE worst mic I have ever owned. WaveLink software disconnects intermittently. Tried this on both a Windows 10 and Windows 11 desktop PC. I am constantly having to re-setup the mic after a few weeks. While the sound quality is EXCELLENT, what is the point of having to re-install WaveLink every other week whenever I want to stream?

    I do not recommend this microphone at all.

    Color: BlackStyle: Wave:3Verified Purchase
    Picked this mic up for podcasting and some online gaming/role play stuff, as well as for recording vocals for music. Before buying this mic I was using a mid range XLR condenser into a Scarlet Solo USB interface, but was having issues with latency when monitoring my voice in real time, which is pretty important in the types of games I'm using this for (Role play servers like Ignite and WildRP etc). The Elgato Wave:3 has a headphone jack for direct monitoring of the mic in your mix and as soon as I plugged it in and made some adjustments it worked perfectly. Sound quality is pretty decent, maybe a 8/10, build quality, also decent, it's body is plastic with some aluminum... but it feels solid. The controls built into the mic are helpful, and the Wave:3 software has worked well! It attached to my boom stand without issue and it's small enough to stay out of the way. I also picked up the Elgato pop filter and shock mount, I've reviewed those separately. Glad I picked this mic up, it's doing exactly what I needed it to do and it sounds good doing it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Erstklassiges Mikrofon für beeindruckende Audioqualität
    Reviewed in Germany on March 15, 2024
    Color: BlackStyle: Wave:3Verified Purchase
    Ich habe mir das Elgato Wave 3 vor einigen Wochen gekauft, da ich meine Audioqualität für Streaming und Voice-Overs auf das nächste Level heben wollte. Nach ausgiebigem Testen kann ich ohne Zweifel sagen, dass dieses Mikrofon alle Erwartungen übertroffen hat und sich als eine hervorragende Investition für jedes Setup erwiesen hat.

    Zuallererst ist die Einrichtung des Elgato Wave 3 unglaublich einfach. Dank der Plug & Play-Kompatibilität war ich innerhalb von Minuten startklar für meine erste Aufnahme. Die Tatsache, dass es sowohl mit Mac als auch PC problemlos funktioniert, macht es zu einem vielseitigen Werkzeug für jeden Nutzer.

    Was wirklich beeindruckend ist, ist die Klarheit und Qualität des aufgenommenen Sounds. Das USB-Kondensatormikrofon sorgt für eine klare und präzise Wiedergabe meiner Stimme, ohne dass ich mir Sorgen über Verzerrungen oder Hintergrundgeräusche machen muss. Die Anti-Verzerrungs-Funktion funktioniert einwandfrei und hat mich vor einigen peinlichen Momenten beim Live-Streaming bewahrt, indem sie unerwartete Lautstärkespitzen automatisch reguliert.

    Ein weiteres Highlight ist die mitgelieferte Mixing-Software. Es bietet eine überraschend tiefe Kontrolle über meine Audioeinstellungen, was mich dazu ermutigt hat, mit verschiedenen Soundeffekt-Plugins zu experimentieren, die ebenfalls gratis zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Diese Funktionen haben es mir ermöglicht, meine Streams und Aufnahmen professioneller und ansprechender zu gestalten, was bei meinem Publikum sehr gut ankam.

    Das Design des Mikrofons ist ebenfalls erwähnenswert. Es sieht nicht nur auf meinem Schreibtisch äußerst elegant aus, sondern ist auch robust gebaut, was mir das Vertrauen gibt, dass es mich auf lange Sicht begleiten wird.

    Abschließend kann ich sagen, dass das Elgato Wave 3 jede Erwartung übertroffen hat. Es kombiniert Benutzerfreundlichkeit, herausragende Audioqualität und professionelle Funktionen zu einem Produkt, das sowohl für Einsteiger als auch für erfahrene Content-Ersteller geeignet ist. Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einem Upgrade für Ihr Audio-Setup sind, zögern Sie nicht – das Elgato Wave 3 ist eine ausgezeichnete Wahl.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un eccellente microfono!
    Reviewed in Italy on March 7, 2024
    Color: WhiteStyle: Wave:3Verified Purchase
    Ho acquistato diversi microfoni, ma ogni anno mi ritrovavo punto e a capo non trovandomi soddisfatto in tutto ciò che acquistavo. Sotto consiglio di un amico acquisto Elgato, pronto all'ennesima delusione ed invece... mi devo ricredere. Il microfono si è dimostrato molto completo, con funzionalità eccellenti.

    Audio percepito: L'audio percepito è molto pulito, tranquillo e senza interferenza. Riduzione dei rumori eccellenti ed in caso il programma permette di poter modificare tutto. Con i microfono precedenti si sentivano le persone parlare nell'altra stanza con porta chiusa e non riuscivano a sentire me che ero a pochi centimetri dal microfono, ma con Elgato tutto questo non è più un problema, finalmente l'audio viene percepito solo quello che voglio far percepire.

    Design: Il design si dimostra perfetto, bello da vedere, con ottima illuminazione e colorazione.

    Programma: Il programma è molto intuitivo, permette di fare moltissime cose, ma configurato con persone che sanno cosa fare, permette di raggiungere l'eccellenza totale.

    Resoconto:
    Finalmente dopo molto tempo ho trovato il prodotto ideale per le mie esigenze! Audio perfetto, Design eccellente e programma ben fatto. Posso mettere fine alla mia tortura con i microfono, affermando di aver trovato il prodotto perfetto.
