ELGATO Wave 3 Microphone Review

ELGATO Wave 3 Microphone

Apr 22, 2021

Reviewed by Philip on Argos

Overall: 8.5/10 Great Microphone. clear and great for spoken voice. Mids and High frequencies are shown more than deep voices but if you add EQ then you can fix that- can't be done in the wavelink app it comes with. Mac software needs at least 10.14 (Mojave) to run so be aware. I had to update to be able to use. On my PC i had USB resource issues but thats more because I have a lot of tech plugged in. I would suggest buying the shock mount before the pop filer as it helps more overall

Waved goodbye to my old cheap mic.

The Elgato Wave 3 is a very nice design. Easy to set up and get going. User friendly software to adjust your mic/headphone levels. Discord picks up my voice a lot better than the cheaper microphone I previously had. Although the description says USB C that's the mic connection, the PC connection is USB A. The mute button on the top is excellent - a light tap rather than a clunky button. It also remembers it's muted when you turn your PC back on. Easy to change mounts too.

Worth every penny and more. Amazing piece of kit.

This might be one of the best USB microphones on the market right now. Not only is the microphone fantastic quality, but the mixing software included is a game changer. This has made such a noticeable difference in my streams, and is so you're easy to use. You can't go wrong with this. You can buy a pop filter separate but it's not 100% necessary!

Very complicated to set-up on Windows PC

We purchased this for Christmas for one of the children. I am pretty tech savvy but the set up on the windows 10 is impossibly complicated, gave up after 1 hour trying everything. The tutorials and set up use obscure language making is almost impossible for anyone other than expert to understand the instructions and set it up correctly without spending many hours.

Fantastic

Just love this product. It's real value is it's integration with Elgato's software which allows you to mix different sound sources and streamline it. Got this at the best price at Argos.
