HyperX QuadCast 2 S RGB USB Microphone vs Sennheiser Profile Streaming Set

Buy the Sennheiser Profile Streaming Set if you want a boom arm and a microphone that also works over XLR. Buy the HyperX QuadCast 2 S if you want a desktop mic with RGB lighting, a built-in shock mount and a tap-to-mute top. The Sennheiser has the cleaner, more neutral sound and the sturdier mounting, and its owners rate it higher, though on far fewer reviews. The HyperX is heavier on features and easier to live with on a desk, but its 90 dB max SPL limits loud sources.

• Choose the HyperX QuadCast 2 S if you want a plug-and-play desktop mic with RGB, a built-in shock mount and tap-to-mute, and you record at normal speaking volume.
• Choose the Sennheiser Profile Streaming Set if you want a boom arm in the box and a mic that can later move to an XLR interface.
