10 Reviews: Best Microphone with Mute Button (Apr 2024)

iRig Voice is a vibrant portable speech microphone with amazing audio quality. Simply insert it into your smartphone and start singing. The iRig Voice’s ergonomic shape fits neatly into most conventional microphone stand attachments for stage usage. iRig Voice uses a small cardioid pattern for near voice pickup, which reduces feedback when utilized with speaker systems. It incorporates an on/off sliding switch and a large strain relief cable end for long-lasting performance even in high-energy shows.

The Blue Yeti X is a cross between the Nano and the original Yeti, combining the best features of each. The durable microphone now includes an LED-lit front panel that shows your volume settings at a glance, and the sound quality is still excellent. It’s easy to see why many professional podcasters and streamers still use this mic. Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition was just published by Blue. It has the same functionality as the Yeti X, but it’s dressed up in a great black and gold style with some cool fantasy glyphs all over it.

I’m not a gamer, but make training videos and do a fair share of video conferences and have found that this sound quality is tremendous, almost too good. I now hate the sound of my own voice lol.

The new HyperX SoloCast microphone is designed to provide gamers on a budget with higher-fidelity voice recording. The SoloCast seems to prioritize sound above anything else. The adjustable stand, boom arm and mic stand threading, and tap-to-mute sensor are included with this single-condenser microphone. The sound quality of the SoloCast is comparable to mics costing twice as much.

I don't use this for anything fancy. I just use it to sound/look fancy (according to my peers). Lol. I shoot short vlog styled videos using this mic and spend about 60% of my work day on conference calls/video meetings so this thing is great!

The Rode NT-USB-Mini is an amazing product from Rode in terms of small microphones. It takes everything we want from a high-end microphone and reduces it to a more economical size while maintaining top-notch audio quality. It’s a good-sounding microphone that’s perfect for podcasts or multi-person broadcasts, as well as being a useful tool for individuals who don’t like fiddling with audio settings when streaming.

This is an excellent mic for the price - well made, clear, crisp sound, easy to plug in and get started right away. Time will tell how it holds up, but so far, so excellent. Sounds best at maybe 6-10" away, but even further placed it's still pleasing. While it offers cardioid pattern only, that is ideal for general use; this is a good, solid, entry-level mic with sound that easily rivals the Yeti in its cardioid mode, and handles speech, piano, and singing equally well. Very happy with this purchase.

The HyperX Quadcast S is a great microphone for gamers and streamers who want an easy-to-use, clear-sounding microphone. A nice example is the touch-sensitive mute button on the microphone’s top. When recording, mute buttons and switches often generate a loud click. This is not the case. If you’re wanting to add anything to your live broadcast, the Quantcast S strikes the sweet spot in terms of pricing, quality, and capabilities.

Great mic for the price I make YouTube videos on gaming and this is such a good addition to my set up (I record and edit on my PS4) and with the right settings after a little bit of tweaking in the PS4 settings this mic is awesome for recording while playing with friends it acts as my chat mic and my voice recording mic if only my friends sounded as good as me in the videos ? for sure pick this mic up.

The Wave 3 is a feature-rich 96kHz microphone that works with most desk boom arms. An 8-channel digital audio mixer that can output to OBS and Xsplit gives you greater control over your stream’s audio without becoming a sound engineer. The capacitive mute button is a wonderful touch with Clipguard technology that prevents red levels. The Wave 3’s single cardioid polar pattern restricts its adaptability, but it’s a good choice for beginners.

The audio quality on this mic is so gooood. I can stand across my room, talk at a normal volume and it'll pick up every word with amazing accuracy. 10/10 would recommend.

The Razer Seiren Mini is a $50 streaming microphone that may be lacking in functionality but produces excellent quality. This microphone is one of those obnoxiously lovely bits of desk gear. The Mini’s unique pill-shaped form and a wide range of colors give it the flair that some of our other mics lack. For aspiring podcasters and streamers, the Seiren Mini is an ideal first microphone.

It’s a really good mic, I got it so when I stream and am in call with friends I can mute my headset mic and still be heard on stream clearly, I’ve only really used it twice but I really like it, it’s definitely pretty sensitive though so in OBS you’ll have to play with the mic settings (gain, noise gate etc).

The EPOS B20 manages to turn attention without being too flamboyant, thanks to its gunmetal finish and streamlined cylinder form. Whether you’re wondering if the B20 sounds as amazing as it looks, here’s your chance to find out. The sound quality is excellent straight out of the box. This feature-rich condenser mic lets you use the EPOS suite of EQ settings and surround sound with any mic you put into it.

If you do twitch, podcasting, or even youtube videos, this is really the microphone for you. There are more expensive microphones on the market and less expensive ones for sure. For me, this is the best overall value. Past this price point really offer diminishing returns IMO. Yes, they get better but you have to pay much more for little improvements. This microphone installs easily and works with my PC seamlessly. The microphone is crystal clear without picking up a bunch of ambient noise.

The Logitech USB Desktop Microphone is a simple sculpture with a sleek and small appearance. The noise-cancelling, adjustable-angle microphone produces voice sounds that sound rich and full when played back via a computer, rather than being a simple desk decoration. The Logitech USB Desktop Microphone delivers decent sound quality and quick setup for a surprisingly cheap price, making it ideal for podcasting or voice chatting.

I purchased this product to record narration for presentations and it is very effective at picking up a clear sound with minimal background noise. I have also used it to jurry-rig a settup to record a 3 person interview in a small room. The resulting sound was pretty quiet, but I am still able to understand well enough to transcribe the conversation.

The Razer Seiren X is an interesting condenser that promises to provide clients a better gaming experience. This USB condenser, in fact, offers a lot of unique characteristics. For starters, it includes a well-performing built-in shock mount. The super cardioid polar pattern, on the other hand, provides a bit more precision and directional input. As it turns out, all of these features are beneficial for capturing acoustic instruments and vocals.

I use the Razer Seiren X with Audacity, right now. It makes the audio levels more extreme, so it seems louder and hurts your ears more. The best audio level to have your audio at is -12DB. Once it is set to that, there is little to none background noise. Because your voice is picked up as really loud, and it picks up a natural amount of background noise, lowering the decibels to -12 makes the background noise almost invisible. Perfect mic for what I need it for
