SteelSeries Alias Review: Sounds Expensive
Summary
It comes on a custom shock mount and includes a sturdy desktop stand As for what makes it "purposely built for gamers," well... Im not entirely sure, because it doesnt seem to be significantly more gamer-friendly than most of the gaming mics weve tested. In addition to the shock mount, stand, and boom arm adapter, the Alias also comes with a six-foot (2m) USB-C to USB-A cable for connecting to your PC. to where youd probably want to use some software-based noise cancellation in noisier environments, but I was impressed with how clean the recording sounded without routing it through SteelSeries Sonar software. As I mentioned earlier, the shock mount and stand combo also did a great job of keeping vibrations to a minimum and giving the mic a deeper, fuller sound. Sonar for Streamers doesnt seem to be any more complicated to work with than similar audio mixing software, though I do wish these programs would stop incessantly trying to take full control over my sound mixer (and, yes, I understand why theyre set up this way).
