SteelSeries Alias USB Mic for PC — 3x Bigger Capsule for Gaming, Streaming and Podcasting — Sonar for Streamers Audio Software — AI Noise Cancelling — LED Mute & Level Monitoring — Shock Mount

Absolutely love the design and quality. Easy to plug and play. Good weight and recoding quality as well as sound. Everyone I game with says it’s easier to hear me with no static and very clear. Glad I upgraded to this.

The alias is a good quality microphone that is easily plug-in. Played the important thing to note is that if you want to use the other features that it offers you’ll have to download steel series Gg which is their third-party application to control any and all steel series devices. If you have a boom arm, I recommend setting the microphone to boom arm mode this way It doesn’t pick up all of the little bumps that you make on your desk when recording. Broadcast setting is good if you want clear podcast quality audio and for the game mix just pick your favorite game and it’ll automatically adjust for you. Also, make sure that when you first click sonar that you choose the little slider at the bottom to either be fully near the controller icon if you wanna hear more of the game or fully toward the little chat bubble, if you wanna hear your friends or other players in game.

I hate headphones, so I have always preferred a mic. The noise cancellation is impressive. I typically listen to music at about 70 dB, and the mic hears me clearly. The software thoroughly filters out the music and ambient noise to the point that I hear nothing but my own voice. The build quality is sleek and modern, with just enough RGB to not be excessive. It is pretty much plug and play to set it up, so it is very easy to set up and use, plug in, and the software download is simple. I would say the mic itself isn't going to print out a symphony, but to normal ears like mine, it's better than enough to get the job done for a gamer. Overall, I got it for a discount of $150, which I think is a good price for it. Normal pricing seems worth it too, if you consider the extraordinary software that is free to download, you technically don't even need the hardware to use the software.

My wife loves the mic for podcast and video editing

The mic and stand feel really solid. Nice heavy metal. I'm new to mics, but I think it's cool how the mic is suspended with the cords. Allows for the use with a boom arm and says can function properly when tilted sideways... just curious why the stand it comes with does not offer that feature to turn sideways, only tilts upwards and downwards. I also really don't like how the tightening bolt in the back does not have any grooves or teeth that hold the mic at the position you're trying to set it at. I just set this up for the first time and I feel like I have to really crank on the tightening screw so it doesn't fall. Even so, one slight bump and it's moved, because the interface is smooth bare metal. I'll have to add something there to give it some sort of friction or make my own grooves with some glue or something... feels like that's a problem I should have to worry about for a $30 mic.

Works very well. I love it.

The audio quality of this microphone is an amazing value. I was concerned at first because of the price I originally was going to go for a cheaper option, but now that I have it I'm super happy I went this way. All of my friends were shocked at how amazing I sounded. You just take it right out of the box and plug it in with the included type c cable and you're good to go, super simple setup. I absolutely love the LED choices with the mute button and tasteful rgb on the bottom which gives it a professional look without compromising style. The on device gain controls are also nice and the associated software is nice as well for adjusting noise gate sensitivity and such.

The quality of this microphone is amazing. I upgraded from a hyperx quadcast. And all of my friends agree that this mic sounds a lot more crisp. It's really easy to use, the setup is a USB cord that plugs right into the back. The steelseries app is very easy to use and it fits on the desk with no problem.
