Our take on the HyperX FlipCast
The HyperX FlipCast is a handheld style mic with USB and XLR outputs, for streamers who want one mic that works with or without an interface. At a tracked $159.99 it sits near the bottom of its $159.49 to $179.99 range across three points from August 25 to October 1, 2026.
The listing shows a multifunction wheel for volume and onboard filters, and USB-C plug and play. The XLR option lets you move to an interface later. It costs more than USB mics that come with a stand, and you still need a stand or arm. With only 83 retailer ratings behind the 4.2 average, outside feedback is thin. Today's price is close to the low, so a wait is unlikely to save much.
- Both USB and XLR connections
- Onboard wheel and filters for quick tweaks
- Near the bottom of its tracked range
- Only 83 retailer ratings at 4.2
- Costs more than plain USB mic kits

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
