HyperX DuoCast
HyperX’s midrange mic suffers from middle child syndrome
THE HYPERX QUADCAST microphone has to go down as one of the best peripheral debuts of the last few years. HyperX had no pedigree in the market when it launched in 2019, yet seemingly overnight that iconic red mic seemed to be popping up in every gaming-related YouTube video and livestream going. The $160 multicolored QuadCast S arrived the following year, allowing full RGB lighting control, as did the $60 SoloCast option, which was smaller and only had one recording pattern, rather than the QuadCast’s four (the clue is in the name).
