The HyperX SoloCast is the mic we expect to get at its price point. It’s a little light on features, as with most peripherals that save you some money, and its sound pickup isn’t perfect. For example, while HyperX markets it as a cardioid mic – i.e., one that's most sensitive to sound coming from the direction in which it's pointed – it picks up sound from both in front and behind, which could either be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on your recording needs. However, it delivers where it matters at this price: picking up sound clearly and cleanly. It also offers decent background noise rejection, a compact design that makes it travel-friendly, and an articulating stand that turns 90 degrees to the left and 90 degrees to the right, and flips about 140 degrees back. The SoloCast has aged well: although it's now more than two years old, it’s still one of the best USB mics to consider if you’re seeking something affordable.
