SteelSeries' newest hardware: Alias and Alias Pro [Key features]

On October 3, SteelSeries debuted two brand-new microphones for gamers, and streamers alike: the Alias and the Alias Pro microphones. According to the tech company, these USB-based microphones are designed for gaming, podcasting, and broadcasting.

So, if you’re a professional streamer, gamer, and podcaster, you might want to consider purchasing them. While they do come at a somewhat spicy price: 199,99 EUR for the Alias, and 349,99 EUR for the Alias Pro, SteelSeries assures customers that the new hardware is worth it.

SteelSeries is well known for building durable and efficient audio hardware, like these pair of headphones, released earlier this year. So, we’re not particularly surprised by the fact that the company released two new microphones.

Plus, the two options are more than enough. Regular customers can choose the Alias, which is a USB-based microphone, and for high professionals, there is the Alias Pro, which is an XLR-based microphone.
