Razer Seiren X

Professional gaming equipment from the American company Razer is popular in the world due to its high functionality and premium workmanship. The Seiren X microphone, which has become a bestseller among bloggers and gamers, is no exception.

Compact stylish and ergonomic

The device of a strict cylindrical shape in a matte plastic case with a metal mesh has a compact size of 185x90x90 mm, mounted on a metal stand with a rubberized base and a leg equipped with a hinge to change the angle of the microphone. The design is offered in black, white, pink colour options.

Connection Features

At the bottom of the case there is a micro USB type B connector and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. It was decided to place them there, apparently for the sake of aesthetics, but on the practical side, it turned out not very convenient. Cords break. Fortunately, the complete USB cable 1.8 m long is detachable, and you can replace it over time.

The microphone is driverless, works right out of the box, and is compatible with Windows 7 and Mac 10.8 and above, as well as specialized Open Broadcaster Software and Xsplit.

Management and recording

On the front of the case, under the mesh, there is a microphone mute button and a headphone volume control wheel. At any time, you can add, reduce the level or turn off the outgoing sound and focus on listening.

The quality of the recording, in general, is also pleasing. More than 90% of customer reviews are positive in this regard. The supercardioid pickup pattern(narrow front coverage) delivers crisp and clear audio, but a pop filter would be nice to avoid artifacts. It is not included in the kit, as, for example, in the more advanced Razer Seiren Elite model. However, the price difference is doubled.

In summary, we can safely call the Razer Seiren X an unmistakable choice for beginner streamers and a proven mid-ranger for pros. Inexpensive for this line (about $130), stylish, comfortable, easy to use, with good sound. What else do you need for a beginner?
