There or no buttons or dials like I mentioned before, just a tap-to-mute sensor. Instead of very aggressive RGB you have a single LED status indicator. The SoloCast opts for a pill-shaped design that sits at roughly half the size of the QuadCast S, and is fairly similar in stature to the Razer Seiren Mini.

Without gain control you cant regulate the gain on the fly, which is awkward as it sounded a bit too hot out of the box. ![]() The SoloCast only has the single cardoid polar pattern, as opposed to the four that's offered on the QuadCast mics. Both mics have a 20Hz-20kHz frequency response and a 16-bit sample rate. When comparing the $160 HyperX Quadcast S (opens in new tab), the sound quality is scarily similar when using cardioid mode across both.
