Best Mics for Streaming in 2025: Elgato Wave DX vs Wave 3

Discover which Elgato microphones - Wave DX or the Wave 3 USB mic - deliver pro-level streaming audio whether you're on XLR or USB.

Choosing the right microphone can transform your streaming setup. According to LEWITT’s 2025 guide, here are top-tier picks for creators who prioritize clarity, reliability, and style:

Elgato Wave DX — Best Dynamic Mic for Streaming

The Elgato Wave DX stands out with its dynamic capsule delivering clear, rich audio while effectively rejecting background noise—no signal booster needed. Thanks to a collaboration with Lewitt Audio, it offers a pro-level tone in a sleek, stream-ready form factor, available in multiple colors.LEWITTaudioXpressElgato

Elgato Wave 3 — Best USB Mic for Streamers

For those who prefer USB simplicity, the Wave 3 is LEWITT’s top USB microphone pick. It sounds great right out of the box, delivers seamless setup, and integrates Elgato’s Wave Link software for easy channel mixing and control.

Why They Shine Compared to the Crowd

LEWITT notes that while the iconic Shure SM7B carries status, it's often overkill for typical streaming needs—and much pricier. Instead, both Elgato mics offer greater value, user-friendly design, and audio that competes at a studio level.LEWITT
