The HyperX Quadcast S is one of the best microphones for gaming. Mics designed especially for gamers have flourished over the last decade: it used to be that you'd just use a Shure like everyone else, but gamers must have their own fancy things, and now the likes or Razer, SteelSeries and HyperX are releasing purpose-built affairs.
As far as fancy gamer-centric things go, HyperX's Quadcast S is exemplary. It's the best looking gaming mic you can get, with really clever RGB implementation. You see these things pop up a fair bit in Twitch streams, but they're just as suitable for people who like their gaming space to look really nice.
In addition to the RGB, which is fully customisable using HyperX's Ngenuity software, the mic has all the practical features you could want in this price range, including tap-to-mute, a built-in shockmount, and—don't forget!—brilliant sound. It's usually a pricey affair at AU$299, but Amazon is currently offering a very tempting 33% discount, bringing the price down by a full AU$100 to AU$199.
The Quadcast S has been cheaper on Amazon before: it went for as little as AU$156.75 last June, but that was an extremely rare discount. The current AU$199 is the best price we've seen on this model since June 2024.
The discount is part of Amazon's Big Smile sale, which runs this week. Another highlight, for me at least, is the Corsair K70 RGB Pro, which is going for AU$160.65 down from AU$249. I'm using it to type this very story, and can confirm that it's well worth that discounted price.
