I've been a fan of HyperX headsets since the first HyperX Cloud on account of their high build and sound quality, relatively clean design, and reasonable pricing. The weakness of early Cloud headsets was mediocre microphone quality, but the company largely remedied that issue with the Cloud Alpha, which was my daily driver before the Cloud Flight took over that position. Given it's extensive lineup of gaming headsets, it seems like a natural next step for HyperX to introduce a standalone microphone targeted at streamers and podcasters. The QuadCast is exactly that.
