Snagging a standout mic for under $100 is now on the table, thanks to a steep discount on the HyperX QuadCast USB microphone, bringing the price down to just $89.99 instead of its regular $139.99 price. That 36% price cut brings a popular option into a much more affordable range for streamers, podcasters, and players needing a quality upgrade. With features that would make this a decent purchase even at the triple-digit cost, HyperX now offers an excellent opportunity to improve the audio game. The red LED housing doesn't hurt either, adding some visual flair to any gaming setup.

HyperX is a long-standing name in gaming accessories, best known for its line of headsets, keyboards, and microphones. It operates under HP, previously part of memory chip manufacturer Kingston, bringing its gaming-focused gear to both casual users and dedicated gamers. HyperX products frequently show up at esports events and among Twitch streamers, which gives credence to the quality of their products. The brand's accessory line is designed to suit both desktop and console setups, with wide software compatibility. Its gear also regularly supports third-party apps used for streaming and recording, like OBS and Discord.

Why HyperX QuadCast Is Built for Varied Use

The QuadCast is designed around versatility, allowing quick changes between stereo, cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional polar patterns. That makes it a solid fit whether recording solo voiceover, group podcasts, or streaming gameplay. Its shock mount is built directly into the body, using elastic suspension to isolate noise from desk bumps or keyboard taps. It also includes an internal pop filter to cut down on plosives, which is useful for recording without needing extra filters or add-ons. Audio control is handled through a gain dial placed under the mic, which lets users adjust input sensitivity quickly and easily without the need for software adjustments.

A convenient tap-to-mute feature is built into the top of the mic. It has a red LED ring that turns off when muted, removing guesswork during active sessions. The plug-and-play design means no extra drivers or software are needed on most operating systems. For connection, the mic includes a USB cable it uses for connectivity. For attachments, an adapter for 3/8- and 5/8-inch threads is also included, so it works with most boom arms and stands. While the glowing red light might initially seem like just a nice accent, it actually offers visual feedback for the mic, giving us a clear visual indicator of the mic's status. This is particularly helpful during live sessions, when constant glancing at software indicators isn't always practical.

The included anti-vibration mount makes the QuadCast feel more premium since these often have to be purchased separately for other gaming-focused condenser mics.

On the software side, the microphone is certified by Discord and TeamSpeak and integrates smoothly with OBS Studio, Streamlabs, and other broadcast tools. This makes it an excellent companion for a game streamer. The compatibility list includes PS4, PS5, and Mac platforms in addition to PC. Moving between PC and console platforms and even transitioning to a Mac setup for podcasting is all supported by the QuadCast. For the latter use case, it also includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack for live monitoring, which can help catch mic issues before they make it into a final recording. The HyperX QuadCast microphone is now marked down to $89.99 on Amazon for a limited time.
