    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the microphone. Some mention that it has better sound rejection, and immensely superior sound, with a handy mute button. However, other customers say that it negatively affects sound quality when the mic has to be positioned further away, picks up a lot of higher pitched noises, and has very limited sidetone capability.

    Customers have mixed opinions about the appearance of the microphone. Some find the aesthetics to be an eye catcher, with a unique design and flashy effects. They also say the mic looks cleaner and less bulky, with RGBs on the bottom. However, others say the design is poor, awkward, and minimalist.

    "...is amazing, the mute button is super handy, the stand is great and looks good and it’s easy to mount on a mic arm...." Read more

    To start off, this isn’t a plug and play microphone. You’ll need to play around with the audio configuration a little bit to get the results that you want, and to do that you’ll need to download the dedicated software for it. But once you get it all set up and working, it works amazingly. I’ve never heard my voice as crystal clear in any other microphone, and the easy access microphone controls make it better. I’ll have to admit, I had fun pushing the mic mute button a couple of times just to feel the button and see the light turn on. As for physical installation, it’s really easy to do as long as you follow the instructions. It did take me a little bit personally because my desk is currently a cable nightmare but the cable length should be more than enough for most users. Also, the RGB on the control panel is a pretty neat addition, especially if you have other SteelSeries RGB enabled devices. If you want a top tier microphone and don’t mind paying a bit of a premium, this is the microphone for you. My only gripe (and this is a general SteelSeries problem, not exclusive to the mic) is that you can’t disable the RGB engine without uninstalling the entire software suite if you want to use another RGB control program (like SignalRGB).

    Shortly before buying this for myself, I had purchased an equally expensive microphone for my girlfriend which we both ended up hating due to it picking up way too much noise from the room.

    When deciding to buy one for myself I decided to try this one due to the DAC that comes with it. It was Immediately apparent this microphone blew my girlfriends out of the water, it is a significant difference in sound as well as not picking up other voices in the room.

    Definitely a good purchase and when I can I will gladly replace the not so good one with this.

    Sound quality is amazing, the mute button is super handy, the stand is great and looks good and it’s easy to mount on a mic arm. Only downside is it needs a ton of fiddling to get the volume right but you aren’t provided with many ways to do it easily. The gain knobs on it feel honestly useless, and on discord I keep getting told I’m too quiet when sometimes you can hear the tv downstairs from it. I love the steel series software for everything else but it doesn’t feel great customizing this mic.

    The quality of my voice is terrible in this thing and the amount of hiss and feedback you get from it is ridiculous for the amount of money you spend. I sounded better using my Bose earbuds as microphones. And as for the boom arm, there's literally nothing actually holding the arm to the clamp that holds the arm to the table. It literally just falls out and somehow they thought that was a good design? If I mof the arm the wrong way or pull on it wrong, I can completely undseat the entire thing causing the boom and my severely overpriced mic to fall unexpectedly. This is the most disappointing purchase I've made is so long.

    Muy buen microfono que puedes configurar por medio de su aplicacion (Solo disponible esta opcion en windows).

    Yo recomendaria evitar grabar en lugares con mucho eco, fuera de eso, excelente calidad, muy satisfecho con mi compra.

    This Mic works and sounds great. I love the LED's on the front which let you know when you're muted and such with a big red X. I'm familiar with the SteelSeries GG software so getting everything working was easy for me. The RGB lights on the bottom of the mic are sadly not bright enough. I actually chose this mic in particular to go with the RGB setup I have on the rest of my desk/desktop/mouse/keyboard/speakers but you literally can't even see it. I wish it were somewhere else on the mic/arm and it was more noticeable. Other than that, no complaints.

    I thought I would buy the arm that goes with it. After using it for some time and the sound removal from Sonar, I think I'm good. Great sound, software working fine, a bit expensive but I have no issue and really like it.

    The media could not be loaded.
     There is two version of the SteelSeries Alias. The non-pro is significantly cheaper and has everything built in the microphone and it has a USB-C port at the back. The Pro version comes with a mixer and the microphones connect to it over XLR. The Pro version can also support 2 PC and will require the Sonar software to enable PC switching. Note that Sonar is not available for Mac.

    I have the Pro version

    - The microphone -
    The microphone has a pils shape design and come mounted on a nice metal shock. The base is in plastic with a metal weight. Despite being in plastic, it still feels like a quality product. There is also a metal adapter to mount the microphone on a boom arm.

    The sound quality is outstanding for recording vocals but there are other condenser microphone that perform similarly at cheaper price. This microphone has a Cardioid pattern which just means it's most sensitive toward the front. This microphone is still very sensitive and noises in the environment will sill get picked up. This microphone is able to record at 24 bit/48 KHz and response frequency from 50 Hz to 20 KHz. Max SPL is 120 dB. SteelSeries put a lot of enphasis on the size of the capsule which is 1 inch. In the worl of microphones, size does matter but larger is not always better. Smaller capsule has better frequency response and a more consistent pick up pattern. Smaller capsule has smaller diaphragm and smaller diaphragm will require less energy to move. Larger capsule on the other hand has a wider pick up pattern at low frequencies and a more lush sound. All of this to say that the Alias Pro will be excellent at recording vocals but won't be a good choice if you want to capture a pure sound without any added flavour.

    - The mixer -
    The mixer is entirely in plastic with added weight and a layer of silicon for stability. On my unit, the front strip of silicon unglued itself after 2 days. I was abel to glue it back. The mixer require a AC/DC adapter. It does not draw power from either of the two USB-C port. The other ports on this mixer include 1 x XLR for the microphone, 1 x 3.5mm Line Out for speakers and 1 x headphone jack for level monitoring. The mixer has two dial and two button. The left dial adjust the gain of the microphone and the left button is to mute the microphone. The right dial control the volume of the headphone jack and the right button is to mute the headphone. The right dial and right button can be remap using the SteelSeries GG Software. Every other adjustment on this mixer will need to be done using the SteelSeries GG Software. This include enable output on the second USB port, enabling Line Out, turning off Phantom power on the XLR and etc. The mixer has RGB which is sort of useful as it provide some feedback about the microphone gain. As long as you stay in the green and yellow, the recording volume should be good.

    - SteelSeries GG -
    SteelSeries Sonar is actually a really nice software package. it include the require engine to modify the Mixer RGB, EQ the audio but the best feature is to filter the recording. It can remove unwanted noise with AI. The only thing I wish it could have is some keys on the mixer to quickly activate these filters. None of the audio processing is done on the microphone or mixer so it will take some CPU cycle.

    Over all, it's a very nice microphone and the price reflect the quality. If you are looking for a microphone to primarily record vocals, this is a very nice choice.

    This is great for someone who's started out with a very basic microphone, knows they will produce content for years to come and want to upgrade their audio without a complicated setup.

    The only downside with this kit is that I would never use the desk stand, just get at least a 20$ mic arm and keep the microphone less than a feet from your mouth for best results. You can use the sonar software to turn the gain up afterwards but that way it eliminates a lot of the ambient noise without having to do any filtering, noise gate, ai pass, etc

    Its pricier than most streaming/podcast specific mic but you get the audio interface which means you can get an even better microphone down the road and keep the audio interface / settings

    Sonar is pretty intuitive and is great for splitting audio when streaming. You can drag and drop Apps to a couple of virtual audio channel then decide what audio you listen to and what the stream listens to. So you could send drm free music to your stream without having to listen to it and you could send discord chat to just you so you don't have to worry what your friends say in your stream. Overall it's very user friendly and the app has some auto mic improvement but can't make miracles, you need to point the mic at your mouth (it has a 30 degree and le of pickup) , the closer, the better (ok maybe give a few inches distance) .

    Overall a big leap in quality without much effort but it's a waste to buy this if you are "thinking of getting into streaming"
