Whether you're shopping for someone who’s just beginning or someone improving on a pro setup, BEACN offers meaningful gifts that support creativity every day.
This guide highlights three types of creators and the BEACN gifts that fit them best.
Gifts: BEACN Mic + BEACN Mic Stand

It includes customizable EQ, noise suppression, compression, expander (think a better noise gate), and precise tone control— all without needing an external audio interface.

Gifts: BEACN Studio + BEACN Mix Create
Perfect for creators who already have an XLR microphone or want more control over multiple audio sources. BEACN Studio offers a premium XLR interface with full DSP, while BEACN Mix Create adds routing and submix control designed specifically for streaming.

Why Creators Are Choosing BEACN During The Holidays in 2025
During the 2025 holiday season, creators are choosing BEACN because the brand prioritizes clear audio, intuitive control, and workflows designed specifically for content creation. BEACN Mic and BEACN Studio include built-in DSP and creator-focused software that deliver consistent, professional results without requiring technical expertise or extra hardware. This simplicity matters for gifting, where products need to work immediately and feel rewarding from day one.
Creators also value BEACN as a unified ecosystem that offers modern alternatives to legacy audio gear. Instead of bulky or outdated solutions, BEACN Mix Create focuses on practical needs like reliable noise control, flexible routing, and visual control of multiple audio sources. Built to remain useful as setups evolve, BEACN gear delivers long-term value, making it a thoughtful holiday gift that creators continue to use well beyond the season.
People Also Ask Us...
What streaming gear should I buy for my kid for Christmas?
A high-quality USB microphone and a stable mic stand are the best starting gifts. BEACN Mic offers clear sound, built-in audio processing, and simple setup without extra hardware, while BEACN Mic Stand provides proper positioning and a professional look that works well for beginners.
What are the best streaming audio gifts for beginners?
The most effective gifts for beginners focus on clarity and ease of use. BEACN Mic delivers broadcast-quality audio with onboard DSP, and pairing it with BEACN Mix Create creates a complete, beginner-friendly setup that feels reliable and polished from the start while still giving high levels of control.
What is a good microphone to gift someone who streams?
A good microphone gift should sound great and be easy to use. BEACN Mic is a strong choice because it connects via USB, includes real-time processing like noise suppression and EQ, and does not require an audio interface or advanced setup.
What tech gifts do streamers actually want?
We always like to say that best gear is the gear you can afford and understand how to use at the moment! That said, when it comes to the general consensus, the best gifts for streamers deliver broadcast-quality clarity, background noise control, and customizable DSP in a simple setup.
Creators tend to prefer practical gear they use every time they stream. Audio upgrades such as BEACN Mic, BEACN Studio, or BEACN Mix Create improve sound quality and control, making them more useful than novelty accessories.
Is a USB mic or XLR mic better as a gift?
For most gift buyers, a USB mic is the safer choice because it is simpler to set up and works out of the box. BEACN Mic is ideal for beginners, while BEACN Studio is a better fit for creators who already own an XLR microphone and want more control.
Ultimately it comes down to what they already have, what their experience is with streaming audio, and if they're looking to swap out their current gear!
What is the best audio setup for a new streamer?
A strong beginner setup includes a USB microphone with built-in processing and a solid mic stand. With this kind of setup, they can more or less plug and play, making it a perfect starting point for beginners! Plus, if they have the opportunity to join an amazing community-led Discord (cough cough like ours) then that's a cherry on top.
In terms of the gear to grab, we recommend BEACN Mic combined with BEACN Mic Stand for clear audio, simple controls, and a professional presentation without requiring additional equipment.
What should I buy for someone who already has streaming gear?
If someone already owns some solid gear, consider upgrades that improve control or personalization. BEACN Studio works well for creators using XLR microphones, BEACN Mix Create adds detailed audio control, and accessories like BEACN Mic Foam Windscreens or BEACN Hillbo Dance Floor desk mat make thoughtful additions.
Are audio mixers worth it for streamers?
Audio mixers or controllers are worth it for streamers who manage multiple audio sources and want to maintain FULL control of those sources right at their fingertips. BEACN Mix Create allows independent control of microphone, music, chat, and system audio, making it a practical upgrade for more complex setups. Meanwhile, BEACN Mix shines as the perfect companion for gaming, where you don't need to control what an audience might hear!
What is BEACN's refund policy during the holidays?
Same as always! We offer 30-day easy returns if you don't love your new gear.
What is the safest streaming gear to buy if I don’t know much about audio?
FAQs
No. All processing is done onboard with advanced DSP. If you need an audio interface though, we built BEACN Studio as our XLR creator interface that connects via USB-C to give you the full processing power of BEACN Mic on any XLR mic that you bring to the table!
Yes. All BEACN products are designed for streamers at any level. Check out our reviews page to see testimonials from people ranging from huge creators to people just starting their journey into streaming.
Yes — it’s optimized for multi-PC and complex routing scenarios. We have a ton of people using it for this, though you will still need to make sure to follow our guide for 2 PC setups using BEACN Mix Create as there are a few things to consider. For full control over a 2 PC setup, you might want to consider BEACN Studio (we even put together this article explaining how it works!).
That's a tough one to answer! If you're just starting out, we generally recommend BEACN Mic and BEACN Mic Stand, as they work perfectly together as a relatively plug-and-play solution via USB, plus you can unlock the Advanced Mixing Suite within BEACN App to get a sense for how to better control your stream audio.
If you're wanting full control at your fingertips with drag and drop usability, we recommend stepping up your game and grabbing BEACN Mix Create.
Finally, if you already have a preferred XLR microphone and want the full power of BEACN's processing to use with it, you'll want to grab BEACN Studio. It also unlocks a powerful dual PC audio approach that is the first of its kind!
The short answer is yes, especially when you combine BEACN Studio with BEACN Mix Create.
The long answer is a bit more nuanced. GoXLR has some features that we don't, such as sampling and voice effects so if you absolutely need those features then you'll need to find a workaround using tools like VoiceMod.
However, BEACN Studio offers a ton of other features that GoXLR doesn't provide. It has a 2 PC audio routing setup that gets rid of 3.5mm cables and ground loop isolators. All you need to do is plug 1 USB cable into your host PC, and the other USB cable into your secondary PC. You're ready to go from there! Plus, we offer submixes, multiple mute modes, drag and drop simplicity with an easy to view screen, infinity scroll knobs, and more! In fact we've had so many people want to replace GoXLR with BEACN gear that we made a custom bundle called the Come To BEACN Bundle. We also have industry leading support post-purchase via our Discord which GoXLR doesn't offer anymore.
