The Seiren Emote is 7.6 inches tall and has a base that is 3.86 inches by 3.86 inches. It can look pretty quiet on your desk. (until you turn on the LED display, of course). Compared to another USB mic, the Blue Yeti Nano is 8.31 inches taller and weighs a little more. (1.39 pounds versus 1.03 pounds).
The Seiren Emote is easy to point in the right direction since it features two panels running up the side of the cylinder-shaped microphone. These panels divide the microphone into two sections. The LED display is on one side, while the mute and volume buttons are on the side that faces you. Some inexpensive microphones, like the Razer Seiren Mini, don’t have these buttons, which are plainly useful.
Even if you spoke into the side of the mic that has an 8×8 LED display covering it, your voice will still be picked up. On the side with the volume button, though, the sound is significantly clearer. There is also a button on this side that lights up green when it is on and red when it is muted. This is a great addition, but it’s especially beneficial if you can’t see colors.

Where to get Razer Seiren Emote Streaming Microphone?
The Seiren Emote has a matte appearance, which helped keep greasy fingerprints away throughout testing. Right next to where you plug in the braided MicroUSB to USB-A connection is a 3.5mm headphone socket on the Razer mic.
The LED display on the Seiren Emote is wonderful for visuals and getting people involved. It’s also a classic part of streaming culture. But this is a microphone, therefore sound is more essential than how it looks. The Seiren Emote uses a hypercardioid pickup pattern to pick up the intricacies in your speech without letting background disturbances enter your livestream, call, or recording.
A typical cardioid mic picks up sound from the direction the mic is pointed, while the Seiren Emote’s hypercardioid capsule picks up sound in a tighter, more focused pattern. Even though some more expensive solutions have more pickup patterns, the hypercardioid pattern of the Seiren Emote should be fine as long as it is pointed in the appropriate direction.
