The best headphones and microphones for streaming (mid-2020)

Streaming is a way to connect with viewers while playing any game you want as long as it's not giving you any issues. Whether you're primarily on Twitch, YouTube Gaming, or Mixer, having the streaming gear is essential to taking it seriously if you're lucky. Professionals can seem easy to be a streamer, but it can be quite expensive.

One of the essential streaming tips is to start small, but once you have a comfortable budget, you can pay whatever you want for your streaming needs. It takes time and effort to make streaming a professional job. With that, we have a list of three microphones and headphones that are reasonably priced, but will ensure lasting quality for your Twitch, YouTube, or Mixer stream.



Starting with the headphones, we have the Razer Nari Ultimate. Brought to you by the same folks who made the fantastic gaming laptops, these headphones are worth the features they have in delivering amazing sound and comfort. Features of the Razer Nari Ultimate include swivel ear cups, high density foam, and wired mode.

This is a great recommendation if you don't mind paying a somewhat steep price. As the name suggests, the SteelSeries Arctis Pro is a wireless headset that meets your streaming needs. It has a built-in microphone if that saves you from having to buy a microphone. Features of these headphones include a dual wireless system, premium speakers, and ski goggle adjustment for different head sizes.

HyperX headsets offer lightweight comfort and high quality performance at a reasonable price. This headset is perfect if you tend to stream for several hours at a time. The lightweight design and comfortable padding make it easy to forget that you are wearing these headphones. HyperX offers many variations for this headset so you can shop around until you find the one that fits your needs. The flexible, noise-canceling microphone automatically mutes when lifted.

Blue Yeti X

The Blue Yeti series of USB microphones are perhaps the most easily recognizable in the industry. This brand is familiar with streamers looking for an affordable yet highly efficient microphone that delivers incredible sound quality. This microphone is also versatile as it can be used in general voice chat as well as streaming. Features of the Blue Yeti include a four-capsule capacitor array, an improvement over the original Yeti's three-capsule array, the Blue VO streaming software! CE and high resolution LED metering. VO! CE allows you to have more control over how you listen to streaming while the new capsule matrix increases clarity and allows you to easily change settings to suit your streaming or content creation needs. The new LED meter now shows your voice level at a glance and lets you make adjustments on the fly.

HyperX Quadcast

Like HyperX headsets, the Quadcast is designed to be easy to use and affordable while delivering superior sound quality. The mic comes with an internal pop filter and a good built-in shock mount with a mounting adapter to prevent the mic from picking up accidental bumps or knocks while streaming. It also has a tactile mute button with an LED indicator, so the annoying click of the normal mute button will soon be bad memory. The mic has four selectable polar patterns that you can easily switch to according to your needs. While this mic doesn't feature all of the bells and whistles of many other mics of comparable quality, it's easy to set up and use, making it ideal for both new and veteran streamers.

For the ultimate package in terms of price and quality, the Samson G-Track Pro fits the bill for a fantastic microphone for streaming. As with the Blue Yeti, it's a USB microphone, but it excels slightly as it outshines it in every way it can. It's a great microphone that isn't overpriced but gets the job done for broadcasting commentary. Features include an audio interface and mixer, two one-inch condenser capsules, and up to three microphone models.
