I can't get it to work on Windows 11. On Windows 10 it has marginal sound quality.
Update: Leaving my previous review in case it helps someone else. After a weekend of troubleshooting I figured out how to get it to work. It took a bunch of back and forth between my Windows 10 (W10) machine and my Windows 11 (W11) machine but it is now working.W10 installed a different driver than W11 was installing. On a whim I uninstalled the driver and I plugged the mic into a USB 2.0 port and it installed the same driver W10 installed. Now it works. If I plug it into a USB 3.0 it will stop working and all I get are pops and clicks, the original driver gets installed again.It's working so I don't have to return it. Sound is much better as well, overall crisp, clean and what I expected. In spite of the hassle of getting it to work I'm changing my 1 star to a 5 star, because I think in the end it is W11 causing the headache and not the mic. As for the sound quality, for some reason W10 defaults to the lowest quality, I didn't notice that before, if I bump it up to studio quality it sounds awesome! (Well as awesome as my voice can sound). On my W11 machine I bumped the audio quality up and it also sounds good.Old review (feel free to ignore) It's 2025 and I feel like I'm in the 90s trying to troubleshoot this thing.On windows 11 it will not work. I have spent hours trying to get it to work and it jut won't. It'll detect just fine. Mute button turns on and off the light. It just won't pick up any audio.I have spent so long looking at Windows Task Manager uninstalling and re-installing drivers it really isn't funny. Uses generic drivers so there isn't even any software that will help trouble shoot it. I've tried different USB ports, nothing.I got it to "work" randomly and got pops and clicks out of it on an audio test with OBS/Discord/Windows settings when I spoke into it. Keep in mind my voice was only coming through every few syllables, but the pops and clicks were pretty constant, even when I stopped talking.Thinking I was dealing with faulty hardware I used a second machine (My Windows 10 Test machine) and it worked first try. Sound was significantly less quality than the ~$5 no name mic my kids use, but it did work. This was supposed to augment my Logitech headset for streaming and podcasting but it is unusable on my main Windows 11 machine. Just to make sure it wasn't my machine I plugged my kids mic in and it worked first try, no hassle.A semi pro/hobbyist mic should not require this much troubleshooting in 2025. It just shouldn't.I don't know much else I can try to get this thing to work with Windows 11, but after perusing forums until 2 AM last night I will spend some more time today and tomorrow over the weekend and if I can't get it resolved, back it goes.It blows me away that a cheap no name mic I bought for my kids works better and easier out of the box.

A Game-Changer for Virtual Meetings - Crisp, Clear Audio Every Time!
I recently upgraded my home office setup with the HyperX SoloCast Mic, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The quality of this microphone is top-notch - it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy at all. The build is solid, and you can tell HyperX put thought into designing a product that's both functional and durable.The sound quality is exceptional, and I've received tons of compliments on my audio during virtual meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. My voice comes through clear and crisp, without any distracting echo or distortion. But what really impressed me is how well the mic isolates my voice - it doesn't pick up any background noises, whether it's the hum of my computer, the occasional bark from next door, or the sound of my kids playing in the background. It's like having a professional recording studio in my home office!Setup was a breeze - literally plug-and-play. I connected it to my laptop, selected it as my default microphone, and I was good to go. No fuss, no muss. I've been using it daily for a few weeks now, and I haven't experienced any audio feedback noises or issues.The packaging was also impressive. Everything was well-protected, and the included accessories were exactly what I needed to get started.If you're in the market for a reliable, high-quality microphone for virtual meetings or streaming, I highly recommend the HyperX SoloCast. It's worth every penny - trust me, you won't regret it!

Did a good job
I’ve been using different kind of mics, but this one does a good job at blocking the background noise. Plus the price is reasonable. Happy with this.

Great microphone for the price
Really great microphone with excellent audio quality. The mute button is a bit weird, in that it is a 'tap' button, and while it does mute the microphone, it doesn't pass back the mute status to the computer, so when using for online meetings you don't show up as muted. But for audio quality and price, and ease of use overall, this is a really good microphone.

Great Mic for Both Work and Gaming
We got the HyperX SoloCast as a gift for someone who works from home as a video game programmer. They needed a reliable microphone for both in-game communication and team meetings. They've been very happy with the performance and sound quality, and would definitely recommend it to others.
