Short answer: the one piece of LazarBeam’s setup I can verify directly from LazarBeam himself is the Shure SM7B microphone. He named it in his official 2016 YouTube setup tour.
His current 2026 headset/headphones and keyboard are not reliably confirmed in a public gear list. Older articles, including the previous version of this page, commonly claim Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro or Astro A50 headphones and a Corsair K70 keyboard. I could not trace those “current setup” claims to a dependable primary source, so I am no longer presenting them as fact.
If you are here because Google gave you half a dozen different answers, that confusion is real. Creator setups change, and gear-list websites often keep old product names alive for years after the evidence has disappeared.
LazarBeam’s setup: what we can actually verify
| Gear | Model | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microphone | Shure SM7B | Directly confirmed historically | LazarBeam’s official 2016 setup tour names it |
| Headphones / headset | Not reliably confirmed for 2026 | Unknown | Several third-party lists make conflicting or unsourced claims |
| Keyboard | Not reliably confirmed for 2026 | Unknown | Old Corsair K70 claims lack a clear current primary source |
| Camera | Canon EOS 70D | Directly confirmed historically | Named in the same 2016 setup tour |
Last checked: September 2026. This article distinguishes confirmed historical gear from products that are merely repeated on setup websites.
What microphone does LazarBeam use?
The Shure SM7B is the strongest verified answer.
In LazarBeam’s official 2016 YouTube Setup Tour, the description explicitly lists:
- Microphone: Shure SM7B
- FaceCam: Canon 70D
- Editing software: Adobe Premiere Pro
That is primary-source evidence. What it does not
Why the Shure SM7B makes sense for YouTube
The SM7B is a cardioid dynamic microphone designed for speech, broadcasting and studio recording. Shure specifies a 50 Hz–20 kHz frequency response and highlights its shielding against electromagnetic hum from computers and other electrical equipment.
It is also not a plug-and-play USB microphone. Shure’s own SM7B guide notes that its relatively low sensitivity means you need a capable microphone preamp or audio interface. Shure recommends more than 60 dB of clean gain, or an inline gain booster if your interface cannot supply enough.
That matters if you are tempted to buy an SM7B because a creator used one. The microphone is only one part of the signal chain.
Does LazarBeam still use the Shure SM7B in 2026?
I cannot verify that.
The SM7B is confirmed in his 2016 setup, and it remains widely used for voice recording today. But “LazarBeam used an SM7B in a setup tour” and “LazarBeam currently uses an SM7B in every 2026 video” are two different claims.
Until LazarBeam publishes a newer equipment list or clearly names the microphone again, the accurate wording is confirmed historical microphone, not guaranteed current microphone.
What headset does LazarBeam use?
There is no headset or headphone model I can confidently label as LazarBeam’s current 2026 choice.
The old version of this article said LazarBeam switched between the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro and Astro A50. Those are both real, high-end audio products, but the article did not provide a source showing LazarBeam naming them, and I have not found a dependable primary source that verifies the claim today.
That does not prove he has never used them. It simply means we should not turn an unsourced gear-list claim into a current fact.
Why you may see DT 1990 Pro and Astro A50 elsewhere
Once a creator-gear article publishes a model, other sites frequently repeat it. Search engines then make the claim look well established because multiple pages say the same thing.
Repetition is not the same as evidence. For this page, I would rather say “not currently verified” than invent certainty around a purchase that can cost hundreds of dollars.
If you are shopping for your own streaming audio rather than trying to recreate LazarBeam’s exact rig, our gaming headsets for streaming guide is the more useful place to start.
What keyboard does LazarBeam use?
The answer is also not reliably confirmed for 2026.
The previous article listed a Corsair K70 Rapidfire RGB as LazarBeam’s current keyboard. I could not find a creator-published setup source supporting that as a current claim, so it has been removed from the confirmed list.
A keyboard is also one of the easiest pieces of a gaming setup to replace. Even if a particular model appeared in an old video, that would not justify calling it his present-day keyboard without a date and source.
What camera did LazarBeam use?
Although it is not the main focus of this article, the Canon EOS 70D is another piece of equipment that LazarBeam directly named in his 2016 setup-tour description.
Again, treat it as a historical snapshot of his production setup rather than a recommendation for what to buy in 2026.
Was the old LazarBeam setup article wrong?
Parts of it were too confident.
The Shure SM7B claim had a solid basis because LazarBeam’s own setup tour confirms it. The DT 1990 Pro, Astro A50 and Corsair K70 claims were presented as current gear without showing readers where that information came from.
That is precisely the problem with creator setup pages: a plausible model can survive online for years simply because nobody goes back and asks, “What is the source?”
This update takes a stricter approach:
- Confirmed: LazarBeam names the item himself or a primary source documents it.
- Historical: the model is confirmed, but the evidence is old.
- Unverified: other sites list it without a traceable primary source.
- Current: only used when there is recent evidence.
Should you buy the Shure SM7B for streaming?
It can be excellent, but it is not automatically the best first microphone.
The SM7B is an XLR dynamic microphone. To use it with a computer you need an audio interface, and Shure notes that it performs best with a preamp capable of substantial clean gain. You also need a sturdy boom arm or stand and sensible microphone positioning.
For a creator with a permanent desk setup, that is manageable. For somebody starting out, a simpler USB or lower-gain XLR microphone may get you recording more cheaply and with fewer components.
The useful lesson from LazarBeam’s confirmed old setup is not “buy exactly this microphone.” It is that clear voice audio matters, and professional creators often build a complete recording chain around it.
Do you need LazarBeam’s gear to make similar videos?
No. Content style, editing, timing, ideas and consistency matter far more than matching somebody else’s keyboard or headphones.
If you are building a gaming or recording space, spend first on the things that solve real problems in your room:
- a microphone that captures your voice clearly;
- good microphone positioning;
- enough lighting for your camera;
- comfortable headphones;
- a PC that can record and edit without interrupting your workflow;
- reliable storage and backups.

LazarBeam setup FAQ
What microphone has LazarBeam definitely used?
Shure SM7B. LazarBeam names it directly in his 2016 setup-tour description.
Does LazarBeam use a Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro?
Older gear lists say so, including the previous version of this page, but I could not find a reliable primary source confirming it as his current headphone.
Does LazarBeam use Astro A50 headphones?
The same caution applies. The claim appears on older setup lists, but I cannot verify it as current 2026 gear from LazarBeam himself.
Does LazarBeam use a Corsair K70 keyboard?
It has been widely reported, but I have not found a sufficiently strong source to label it as his current keyboard.
What camera did LazarBeam use?
His official 2016 setup tour names the Canon EOS 70D.
Bottom line
The Shure SM7B is verified LazarBeam gear, but the confirmation dates to his 2016 setup tour. His current 2026 microphone, headphones and keyboard are not all documented well enough for me to state specific models as fact.
If you see a site confidently listing DT 1990 Pro headphones, Astro A50s, a Corsair K70 and an SM7B as one fixed “current LazarBeam setup,” check whether it gives you a dated primary source. That is the difference between a useful gear guide and a shopping list that has simply been copied around the web.
