Logitech for Creators Blue Yeti USB Microphone for Recording, Streaming, Gaming, Podcasting on PC and Mac, Condenser Mic for Laptop or Computer with Blue VO!CE Effects, Adjustable Stand - Black

I've used this microphone for approximately 2 years now and it is great! The audio quality, improved significantly by utilising the manufacturer software is really clear and crisp. The microphone can be quite sensitive to pops, esses and background noise so best to use a filter of sorts (through software) to minimise non-human sounds. The quality of the product is great. It is robust and has no dints, dings or scratches despite being dropped quite a few times. My only issue lies with the positioning of the USB port which is at the base of the microphone (not to be confused with the stand - which is detatchable) which can become disfigured or damaged over time due to the USB cable pulling or being tensed against one side. This problem could be resolved with a better USB cable angled at 90 degrees when entering the base of the microphone. Otherwise; Looks great, connects to the computer with minimal effort and has plenty of features that will have you up and going in no time.

​I bought this Blue Yeti on a whim for my home office setup, and it has completely changed my audio game. I was expecting a decent upgrade from my old headset mic, but this thing is on another level. The clarity is astonishingly good—my friends on Discord now say they can hear me chewing my cereal from a mile away (which, apparently, is a pro for them, but maybe not for me). ​The setup was as simple as plugging it in, and the different polar patterns make it super versatile, whether I'm recording a podcast or just hopping on a video call. It captures the full range of my voice, from my booming laughter to my quiet, mumbled thoughts about what to have for dinner. ​Now for the minor con: This microphone is an absolute beast. It has a solid, heavy-duty build, which is great for durability, but it's not exactly what you'd call portable. It takes up a significant chunk of real estate on my desk, and I definitely wouldn't want to carry it around in my backpack. It’s a real mic-nificent piece of equipment, but maybe not for the traveler. ​Overall, if you're looking for professional-quality sound without a complicated setup, this microphone is a legendary choice. It's been a monster improvement, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I felt this was a very good mic. I brought it to record my voice and was quite easy to set up. You can plug it in and use it straight away in any recording software. However, I record in OBS and have set up filters for the mic to improve the audio and reduce the background noise. Mic has multiple control knobs on the mic, one increases headphone volume, one increases mic volume (gain) there is a dial that changes where the mic picks up sound from, have a look into which best suits you and which each means, but for my purposes, it works great. It does use the old style usb to micro usb, which is relatively uncommon, but connects well. Overall the mic is really good, looks sleek, but my only criticism is the stand it comes with, while sturdy, where it screws into the mic comes loose quickly without moving it, meaning the mic can turn unexpectedly. This is expected as many recommend getting a different stand or bracket.

Short review: Really good product, build and sound quality is good. Gain and environment setting are very useful. Note that the microphone is technically a headset as there is a 3.5mm jack on the bottom which sound (and your own voice) is/can be outputted through. (FOR ANYONE TRYING TO USE WITH AN ASTRO MIXAMP OR SIMILAR DEVICE SEE FULL REVIEW BELOW) Long review: I previously owned a Blue Microphones Snowball Ice, and I loved it. I actually sold it to a friend in order to buy a Yeti, as he was wanting to get a new microphone, and I was wanting to upgrade. At full price, you really need to be using your mic on a very regular basis, and with need for the extra features a Blue Yeti provides to make it a worthwhile investment, in my opinion. However, I managed to pick one up on sale during black friday, which is what swayed me to buy one. The build quality is very good, as you would expect from a Blue Microphones product. The sound quality (or so I'm assured by my friends) is very good as well (also as expected from Blue). The stand that comes with the microphone is actually surprisingly heavy, and would no doubt keep the microphone still and secure. However I have a boom arm from my previous setup with the Snowball, and so immediately out of the box removed the stand and setup the mic on that. The dial on the front of the mic just adjusts the volume of sound outputted through the 3.5mm jack on the bottom, which was something I had not really realized was built in. Also situated on the front is a simple toggle mute button with LED indicator. On the back of the device are two dials. The top is a simple gain dial, allowing the user to raise or lower the volume of their voice to be broadcast. Generally I have mine set about halfway, when using the mic around 6-12 inches away from me. The lower dial on the back is the environment settings. This allows the user to run the mic in different modes, depending upon the application they are using it for. I keep mine in stereo mode, which picks up audio from all around, but outputs through both left and right channels. There are 3 other modes; cardioid to pick up sound from in front of the mic. Omnidirectional to pick up sound from all around but output it so that you can tell where it was recorded from. Bidirectional to pick up sound from the front and back which is useful if two people are using the mic. There is a handy picture guide in the book which explains what each mode does and what applications it is useful for. For anyone trying to use the Blue Yeti with an Astro Mixamp on a PS4: I didn't realize when i bought the mic, that technically it counts as a headset. This means that when trying to use it on the PS4, chat audio must be outputted through the mic (the 3.5mm jack on the bottom). This caused an issue as I wanted my Yeti to be the mic in, but the chat audio to be outputted to the Mixamp so that i could balance it against game audio. The workaround I found, was to use the Yeti as the input and output on the PS4, then plug one end of a 3.5mm audio cable into the bottom of the Yeti, the other end into the 2.5mm socket on the bottom of the mixamp (this requires an adapter). This will then allow you to balance chat volume on the front of the yeti, and game audio on the mixamp.

Amazing quality, surprised by how heavy it was, very robust. I get great comments on the mic quality. One customer asked what kind of bird I was keeping whilst on a video call. This was a bird outside in my garden tweeting, that is how sensitive it is. Would definitely buy again.

I bought this after dealing with an absolutely terrible $80 microphone and I've been completely satisfied with this microphone. The packaging was solid. There were no rattling parts and it had the "box within a box" packaging style that just assures it's survival of shipping. When I unpackaged this thing I was expecting some assembly to be needed. In other reviews I heard that it's almost a foot tall. However they tackled this in a very ingenious way. The microphone was just swiveled completely upside down on its stand making it super compact and pre-built. The stand itself is incredibly sturdy and keeps the microphone really stable, one thing I've noticed is that the microphone can still pick up the rumbling of my typing or other things on my desk, that being said it was never advertised any other way and why would you be typing while recording something? The microphone is great quality, its nice and heavy and sturdy and built with good materials. There is talk that the knobs seem fragile but I have to say that it's SUPER nitpicking. The volume knob in the front is the only one of the 3 that seems brittle but unless you try to pick up the mic with it or something I'm sure it's fine. The other knobs on the product are SOLID. I never really thought that knobs could feel more sturdy than sturdy but these ones do that. I've recorded a couple things so far and the quality of this mic meets the same quality as my friends $200 microphone. (I dont know it's name so I cant provide it (It isn't available on amazon.ca or .com anyways)) The highs are crisp without making the recording squeal and the gain knob allows you to easily adjust its sensitivity for whatever recordings you're hoping to make. The stereo option is really cool though I haven't personally had any reason to use it other than to move around it going "wooooahoooooooaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooaaaahhhhooooo" and listening to it change around on my headphones. It maintains it's sound quality throughout all of its modes including stereo. Over all I'm incredibly impressed with this entire product. The sound is great, the quality of the hardware is better than expected, it's sturdy, the packaging was incredibly secure it has a plethora of input types, the stand is just as sturdy and quality as the mic itself and its design is great. Its slick and clean looking. Something you would be happy to have sitting on your desk. Get yourself a spring mount thing to get rid of any potential rattling of the surface it's sitting on and I assure you that if you have any low budget or hobbyist projects, this microphone can absolutely meet your demands.

The Blue Microphones Yeti USB microphone in the blackout finish is a standout choice for anyone looking to achieve professional sound quality with minimal setup. Featuring three condenser capsules and four selectable polar patterns, it offers impressive flexibility for podcasting, streaming, voiceovers, music recording, and video calls. The plug-and-play USB connection works seamlessly with both PC and Mac, making it easy to get started straight out of the box. The built-in headphone output with volume control allows for real-time, latency-free monitoring, which is a huge plus for precise recordings. Solidly built and visually sleek, the Yeti feels premium and stable on the desk, while consistently delivering clear, detailed audio. Overall, it’s a reliable, all-in-one microphone that has earned its reputation as a favourite among content creators and streamers.
