Elgato changes the game for streamers and creators
If you were not already using an XLR microphone with a mix-amp to power it for your streaming and content creation needs, the Project Wave devices will easily and handily fill that niche. What do you get with the product? Although the microphone itself feels like it's made out of relatively inexpensive plastic, the housing around its condenser is the solid build quality you would expect of a professional studio mic with its metallic grills. The stand the microphone comes with by default has really good weight to it to support the device, and the base can also be unscrewed and fitted with a suspension arm adapter. Recommendation would be to get both the additional (separate) Pop Filter and Shock Mount for more professional mounting. The big draw to this device is the software that is only accessible by the Project Wave microphones. The Wave Link is a software-side mixer allowing you to set up multiple audio outputs and inputs in very much the same way as a professional audio deck - thus negating the need for anything like a GoXLR with a professional XLR microphone. This is really a game-changer, especially if you were going to get into streaming. The software is missing some crucial features, such as being able to set up VST's (Virtual Studio Technology) - such as compression, noise cancellation, and equalization. Biggest drawback is, of course, availability. I was very lucky to be able to order it shipped through the store. The website will not allow you to purchase it, so you would have to actually talk with an advisor/associate inside of the store to get it ordered. That's if the system will even allow them to do so. For those of you waiting on this, hang in there! Corsair/Elgato will more than likely have more coming in soon. All in all, though, the Wave 3 is an excellent device suitable for any streamers looking to get into the hobby without needing to buy a professional XLR microphone and waiting until the GoXLR or other audio decks are no longer being price-gouged. It suits the needs of just about everyone short of the most attentive audiophile.

Superb crisp clear sound!
Excellent Microphone, once you learn the waves link software which is easy as long as your devices are set up right. You maybe need to YouTube if you don’t understand the direction you are pointing your sounds too. I ran into issues using wireless headset but I don’t have a wireless Xbox dongle to actually pair mine properly or I might not have ran into issues at all.

Works perfectly
The mic quality is way better than expected. The best part of this mic is the Wave Link Software. While streaming, you can customize the volumes of your web browser, spotify music, and discord from your audience. Great buy.

The best USB mic out there
Incredible audio quality, especially for a USB mic. Comes with a very sturdy and heavy base to keep the mic in place. Software is extremely versatile as it allows you to have multiple sound channels at once with 2 sliders (one for you to hear and the other for your audience to hear) and all controlled independently from each other. The built in "clipguard" that prevents your audio from getting distorted at super loud shouts to the mic is great for those that tend to get very excited in the heat of a game

Slight Learning Curve For A Great Mic
The Elgato Wave 3 Mic is a great microphone to use for both online meetings and streaming. I used it for both and people have said that I sound clear since I had an other mic that did not ($20 value). The positives + comes with stand or if wanted an attachment to hand from a mic arm (sold seperately) + Even without the mic arm recommended for streaming, I sound good enough on stream as it is away from my mouth (15 fingers away) +customizable mic and headphone input/output volume which was perfect for me. Negatives (Negatives can be dealt with from a little bit of time on youtube videos helping to understand how to use this mic to its full potential) -Adjustments will need to be made for the headphone and microphone input/output as it is not a plug and go mic. My recommendation if not using the arm, adjust your microphone audio at least halfway or more and check if you can hear yourself. -Software "to use" the wave 3 could be a bit better to understand.

Beautiful— Audio quality is amazing out the box
Makes your audio quality go from average to professional by simply plugging it in. Crisp sound, clear, easy to use. Nothing much more to say than that. quick heads up about the Wave Link software though, it has different channels and if you have another headset (which I do through an Astro Mixamp) it would pick that audio up by default so your voice may echo if it’s picking up additional mics in that channel. This is NOT a negative thing, just something you may not see at first.

Wave 3
I had bought a yeti microphone but I returned it and purchased this instead. I use it for streaming and gaming. Sounds excellent and the wave link app makes it very easy to use. I love the anti-clipping technology it uses.

Great for a new streamer like me!
I had been using the mic from my Logitech G733 to stream on Twitch, but it was definitely less than ideal, even for a new streamer like me. I picked this up today and did a stream this afternoon and was very impressed with the quality! I got multiple comments in my chat saying that the sound from the mic was very crisp. It definitely has brought my streaming up a notch. I'm even more stoked to stream again now that I have this mic. 10/10! (Also thank you to Josh at the Dayton Mall Best Buy, this review is for you :D) Check me out on twitch, the name's Madddcaptain.
