The SteelSeries Alias ​​and Alias ​​Pro join our comparison of the best microphones for streaming and podcasting!

The quality of the SteelSeries Alias ​​and Alias ​​Pro earns them a one-way ticket for our comparison of the best microphones. We explain why below.

Superb recording quality and comprehensive software

The two SteelSeries models fully fulfill their primary mission, with excellent recording quality; this is partly why they join our comparison of the best microphones for streaming and podcasting.

The SteelSeries Alias ​​and Alias ​​Pro are ideal for streamers, podcasters, and content creators. We owe this performance, among other things, to the following characteristics:

• ClearCast 1-inch Condenser Capsule: This capsule captures rich, detailed sound, faithfully rendering the nuances of the human voice.
• Wide frequency response (50 Hz – 20 kHz): This range reproduces all audible frequencies, ensuring accurate sound reproduction.
• 24-bit / 48 kHz sampling rate: Delivering studio audio quality, comparable to professional microphones, it achieves clear and precise sound.

The SteelSeries Alias ​​Pro stands out for even clearer and more detailed sound thanks to its XLR connectivity, which offers better audio signal transmission and guarantees purer sound capture.
Additionally, this variant retains the analog signal, for sound free from distortion and digital interference.

And on the software side? It turns out to be very complete, acting like a virtual mixing desk. Many customization options are offered and you also benefit from a dozen presets. Usage is intuitive and fluid. In short, it’s a success!

What are the SteelSeries Alias ​​and Alias ​​Pro worth compared to competition of the same price?

Even if there is a price difference of at least 100 euros, the SteelSeries models can be compared to the Logitech G Yeti GX.

Concretely, the Alias ​​is doing better in every way. Certainly, the Logitech model offers decent sound quality, but the SteelSeries microphone goes well beyond, both for the standard version and the Pro version. It also offers more complete software, which is not the case with Logitech.

But does this justify SteelSeries’ price positioning, which is much higher than that of the rival brand? This is clearly the case for Alias. For the Pro, it mainly depends on your attachment to the XLR system, but at more than 250 euros, it is a microphone that requires thought before purchase.

SteelSeries, some experience with microphones

SteelSeries is a manufacturer of computer components and peripherals recognized for the quality of its products. Logically, he also uses his expertise to position himself on the microphone market.

This was first the case for on-board microphones on headset models, such as the Siberia 800, the Rival 3 or the Arctis Pro.

With the Alias ​​and Alias ​​Pro, Steelseries offers quality proprietary microphones, with impeccable audio capture and intuitive and comprehensive companion software.
