Pros:

  • Solidly built with all metal body.
  • Gives punchy, clear vocals.
  • Room rejection works great for small offices/workspaces.
  • The swivel mount is perfect for placing the mic.

Cons:

  • Do wish the mic came with an XLR cable.

KitGuru says: The Elgato Wave DX is a fantastic microphone for under £110. This is solidly made, competitively priced and is almost a no-brainer for new streamers or even existing streamers looking for an upgrade. Just wish it came with an XLR cable.
