The HyperX QuadCast is a great mic for streamers and podcasters at its normal $139.99 price. We gave it our Editor's Choice award for its intuitive controls, excellent sound clarity, versatility. The latter is due in large part to the mic's three internal diaphragms. Easy to recommend at full price, this mic is arguably an insta-buy at its Amazon Prime Day price of $99.99--$40 off.
You can mount the QuadCast either via its included desk stand, or use the (also included) adapter to mount it on a boom arm. And the desktop stand incorporates a shock mount, which should keep accidental bump sounds to a minimum. The mute button is conveniently mounted on the top of the mic, and accompanied by a red light. So you'll know at a glance when to shout those expletives you don't want everyone to hear.

He’s spent the last 15 years covering emerging technology for Smithsonian, Popular Science, and Consumer Reports, while testing components and PCs for Computer Shopper, PCMag and Digital Trends.
