The SteelSeries Alias is comfortably one of the best microphones for streaming and gaming on the market today.

It delivers superb performance right out of the box, with plug and play capabilities that remove the need for any annoying software.

Unlike most of the competition, it's also a fantastic looking product thanks to its premium design which incorporates high-end material like metal and cloth rather than the usual plastics.

It even features an incredibly useful LED display that indicates your current volume level and flashes red when you're too loud, helping you sound your best on calls or streams.
