Turtle Beach - Universal digital USB Stream Mic - TruSpeak - Xbox One, PS4 and PC

If anyone is trying to start off as a streamer of any sorts, this is a very good and inexpensive microphone to get. It’s very user friendly it doesn’t have any complex mechanics, you might have to be required to download an application from turtle beach to keep the firmware updated but other than that it’s as easy as plug in and use to either Xbox, PlayStation, or PC. It does come with a base where you can set it on a flat surface, or an adapter for a microphone stand, which the thread size of the adapter is a 5/8”. This is an outstanding microphone to use for starters, I would highly recommend getting it if you want to be starting off small.

The only thing i truly like about this microphone is that it plays you’re voice back in real time through your headphones or speakers, whatever it is you are using for sound. The noise gate is not very good for PC players with mechanical keyboards or if you’re a console player and have something like a fan going in your room, the mic more likely than not will pick up background sounds. Sound quality is less than average, if i had to rate sound quality out of 10 id give it a solid 4/10. Physical set up is easy and will require a software update from the turtle beach application which is free you can get it from turtle beaches website. The microphone aesthetically looks good like most turtle beach products. Id recommend a different microphone because of the sound quality however if you really want this microphone it will do what you want it to, theres simply better options available.

The microphone works well. Honestly one of the best things is that the headset is not connected to the controller. I have always hated the design of something else coming from the bottom of the controller. It's awkward. The mic allows me to connect my headset to the back of the mic. I think it does a great job and it can be set to only pick up sound from the front so it doesn't get feedback from the television. Other players say I speak very clearly now.

I purchased this Mic as upgrade from my Blue Snowball, So far it's actually been worse. This seemed like a super convenient product, as you can monitor your voice when plugging a headset directly into it. For PC you NEED to switch the mic to "Xbox mode" to change ANY settings within Turtle Beaches software (Ear Force Audio Hub). This is my first complaint. I'm unsure why I would need to switch the mode, meaning I cant just change settings on the fly. It just doesn't make sense why you would need to do this in order for the software to work.The second complaint is this mic picks up just about everything. The TV downstairs can be heard, conversations can be heard, and probably the squirrel outside. I did attempt to change it to Hypercardiod mode but didn't seem to make a difference. When you have a headset plugged directly into the mic, it picks up when the cable is moved as well as slight taps on the desk. Granted, I do live in an A frame house so things from downstairs do echo more upstairs. Compared to the Blue Snowball mic, it is much worse with this one.Third and final complaint (as of now) and have not been using the mic. 3 separate occasions while I was streaming on Twitch, I got a robot voice. Making it impossible for people to hear what I was saying. I'm not sure why it did it, but after unplugging it and plugging it back in it worked fine. Maybe I just got a bad unit, or a future firmware update to can fix it but this mic needs a lot of work.At this point I'd recommend a Blue Snowball for half the cost! No software to mess with, and it works consistently everytime.

I bought this for use in Xbox Live parties and streaming. My old Turtle Beach headset I paid $80 had great audio quality coming from the built in mic. So surely if I spent $80 on not a headset, but a dedicated mic that I could then plug high quality headphones into, it would surely have to sound better than mostly everything else right? Wrong. This mic sounds like you’re speaking into a 2010 Built-in laptop mic. Anyhead set with a built in mic sounds better which is crazy because the headsets are putting money into their audio output with the mic just being a part of the package. Also is mentions a headphone amplifier, I plugged in my AKG 702s and get as much power out of my Xbox controller as I do the Stream Mics, “built-in headphone amplifier”. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars and not 1, is because the features, other than audio input/output, all work well. It plugs directly into Xbox and works without fuss, which is fantastic since there doesn’t seem to be enough mics that meet the Xbox compatibility plug and play guidelines. The different settings such as Hypercardoid for noise rooms, and bi-directly work as described, and the mic looks great. Still I can’t give it anymore than 2 stars when it’s advertised as a streaming mic and watching anyone stream with audio quality like this would surely make you believe they aren’t a dedicated streamer.

Not bad. It's a cheap condenser mic, so it's not going to be a high quality mic, but it works fine for me. Ironically, it was complaints about this mic picking up everybody talking in a room that sold me on it. I've been trying to find a cheap condenser-based for tabletop gaming conference calls, and this works beautifully. The heavy base with rubber feet means it doesn't pick up our dice rolls or pencils clattering on our hardwood table, and our remote players have a chance to join in.I tried using this as a gaming mic, and I found it fell short. The none-boosted modes designed for close-in work won't really pick you up unless you're just a few inches from the mic itself, and even its most limited, focused mode (with high gain) it will still pick up a lot of background noise if you leave it sitting on your desk.For conferences, it works alright. The dual-mic setting adds lot of post-processing tinniness to the sound, however, so don't expect to record a chorus with this thing and have it come out angelic.If you keep these things in mind, it will serve your purpose.

La calidad de audio en cualquier modo es impresionante. Este micrófono es un must have para quien se dedique a crear contenido audiovisual, transmitir en vivo o grabar música.

I ordered it so I could increase the quality of my voice when I stream and it did exactly that. I also used it with a PC and it worked perfectly. It was multiply options making it perfect for streamers.

Very good and easy to setup

We bought this Mic to allow our 12 year old to play Fortnite on his Xbox One S with his friends. We were keen to avoid headphones to prevent him chatting to people he does not know. The Mic was extremely easy to set-up and he required no help. The product has been extremely successful and works very efficiently, he has not experienced any echo noises or interference. Overall we are completely satisfied and very happy with this product.
