This mic was bought under the pretense I would do allot of vocal recording. Meh. The voice recordings do sound a bit...hollow? dull? My old mic that I got with my soundcard gave a richer, fuller sound to my audio recordings. As i stands I've had this mic since June 2022, and it still performs very well. It is very heavy and sturdy, and having a heavy base. It is more than I need. However, the Blue Yeti X Professional mic does work well, with some gripes. 1) I do wish the PATTERNS were visible on the front of the mic, instead of being behind it. I need to turn the mic around to see what pattern is selected. It would have been nice if the mic had PC software that displayed a notification every time the pattern was changed. 2) The headphone jack works well for me to hear myself during recordings. Although, during gaming, with Discord, I can only hear my voice and not the game sound from the PC. With other games, however I can hear both. 3) It does not have any noise canceling, because I can hear myself typing during gaming, which some petty gamers find annoying. Oh well. I tried all the patterns (Pattern 3 (user focus) is the one I use most) none seem to reduce the sound, although it doesn't bother me much to matter. But background noise cancellign would have been nice to have, like a toggle button? I did hear some background noise (popping, hissing?) while doing the sound test within Steam. This mic was designed for pod cast use, but I record audio for videos. The sound can be remixed to sound fuller. As mentioned the recodings can sound a bit small. The size of the mic is a bit much for me, as I am used to in-ear or over-ear type mics. But, it is a professional mic and it is more than suitable for me. It pairs automatically with both my W10 PCs, both have a Intel i7 CPU. The price is steep, I will add, but for what it was designed to so - it seems adequate.

Very clear vocal that you will be pleased with. I was dreading setting up a bulky audio interface in my smaller workspace, but this usb mic has saved the day. Records as nice as mics costing much more, and it has simple controls that allow you to do everything you could want. I’d recommend to anyone who is getting more serious about voice capture.

I purchased this mic for Twitch and for Teams/Zoom/Webex meetings and so far I'm very happy with this mic. I find the external mics work so much better than the ones that come with webcams. The accompanying Logitech Hub-based software to control the different microphone settings provides quick tweaking during use.
