Customer Ratings & Reviews

So I have now had this for a couple weeks, firstly the price was amazing I think I paid just under a $100 after tax and I consider $80 just under. It has a full gain knob and volume for your headset. It has an aux for your headset to hear yourself speak. My favorite thing is its flexibility. There are 4 option for mic recording on it. Idk the names but 1 is single person up close basically 2 is like background capture for people and noises in the background 3 is multiple people up close from all direction and 4 is like two people sitting across from each other. That blew my mind when I heard it actually working. The quality of audio is also very clear.

The quality of this mic is impeccable, however it picks up literally everything. If you are looking to use this as a microphone for your computer to stream or do anything other than have short conversations or voice commands then a boom arm is mandatory. The stand it comes with picks up every tap, touch, bump, mouse click, or keyboard stroke that you make. I turned the mic onto cardiod and the gain all the way down and it still picks up my mouse clicks. I have gotten it down to a minimum with some third party programs, but it is still there. This microphone is excellent for recording your voice or sounds that you need for editing, however it might pick up more than you would like.

This has to be the best microphone for the money I’ve ever purchased. Recommend to someone who needs great quality, great sound recording functions and who is starting off with podcasting or music recording. For the price you’ll be getting the same as if you paid for another brand that’s $100 dollars more expensive. Never been more happy with a purchase. Oh and it’s the easiest SetUp you can get!

I got this mic after having the yeti snowball for almost 2 years. It is definitely a worthwhile upgrade. I use the mic to record audio in davinci resolve and I wanted to upgrade to something a little more versatile than the yeti snowball but not a $400 mic. As I've learned more about audio recoding the benefit of adjust the gain and pluging in headphone directly on the mic are actually useful now. You cab also adjust the audio pattern on the mic which is nice too. The sound quality is great but I wish there was a bundle that came with a pop filter. I got this $25 off because it was on sale, if it wasn't i likely would have waited a few more months to get it. If you're just starting out, a cheaper mic like the Yeti Snowball is perfect for what you need but if you're looking for an upgrade--or have the money to buy a mic that will be useful for multiple years--this mic is a great option.

beat microphone out and best price out there sounds great

I purchased this mic to use for recording voice for a weekly radio show. Corona virus required us to avoid the radio station that my partner and I broadcast a weekly show from. One of my bandmates had purchased the Yeti for his home recordings so I was familiar with it. Its strongest features for computer recording are its switchable polar patterns (4 patterns), input level, headphone output which allows for real time, latency free monitoring and headphone output volume level (a nice feature). From the moment I plugged it into my system I’ve found it easy to use, trouble free and great sounding. I can recommend this mic without reservations.

I am a tech enthusiast gearing up to start a YouTube channel. This was recommended to me by multiple individuals. The three condensers in this mic allow for amazing audio pickup and sensitivity. It probably wouldn't hurt to get a pop filter with this. The overall build of this is solid. This is a quality item being encased in a mix metal body. It looks sharp on the desk. However, the in box mic stand does pick up every tap on the keyboard and thumping on the desk. Other wise no complaints. I use this for voice overs, recording acoustic instruments and to make regular FaceTime, google hangouts and skype calls as well (paired with my Logitech C930e). Being that I use a Mac Pro I also receive and make phone calls using this mic. Note this can be done with any Mac with OSX Yosemite. I highly recommended this mic. Don't wait on it just jump.

Amazing sound quality at its price point, suitable for casual streamers or even just gamers who don’t stream! 4 different sound settings and adjustable gain make this mic stand out from others in the same price range

The Blue Yeti is hands down one of the best USB mics out there. Whether I’m streaming, recording, or on calls, the sound is crisp and professional. The multiple pattern options are super useful, and it’s super easy to set up—just plug and play. Build quality is solid and it looks great on any desk setup!

During the pandemic CJAM 99.1 FM had to close so we could no longer broadcast live. Using the Blue Yeti and Audacity software I was able to create a fantastic sounding program from home for broadcast in my normal time slot. You will need to buy a pop filter for the Blue Yeti for better results. Mr. T, host of Positive Amplitude, Sundays from 6-8 PM EST on CJAM

Very clear microphone. love the colors available. It is a little big for small desks. The app to change the settings is very easy to navigate.

Compared to just a few years ago, dictation software has vastly improved (especially on the Mac). After a horrible experience 3 years ago, I decided to give it a second go when Nuance released the new version of Dragon Professional for Mac. I started out using a cheap headset microphone, but it was uncomfortable and made me feel tethered. After hearing from other Mac users of Dragon, the Blue Yeti came highly recommended and was also "officially" supported by Nuance. While $130 initially felt a bit pricey, after getting my hands on it and using it for a few weeks I consider it to be an absolute steal for the price. This mic is a legitimate professional mic that can used in so many different ways - Podcasts, Skype / FaceTime, Google Hangouts, GarageBand, YouTube Blogs, conference calls, and dictation just to name a few. Initially I thought I would have to have the mic sitting pretty close while I dictated, but I just leave it sitting next to monitor facing towards me at an angle. Despite being nearly 2 feet away, it performed leaps and bounds better than the original plastic headset mic I used initially (which sat about an inch away from my mouth). The Yetti is nearly perfect, but I do have 1 major complaint. I really wish it had an on/off switch because if you leave it plugged into your computer, it has a red LED that is constantly lit up (if it is muted the LED will blink). The only way to turn it off is to unplug it which can be inconvenient. However, I ended up just buying a cheap $7 USB adapter that has an off/on power button so I can leave the microphone plugged in and just press the button on the adapter when I need to use it. Despite this one drawback, I still give it 5/5 stars and my full recommendation!

I use the Blue Yeti for my YouTube gaming channel. The USB input makes setup easy and functional. The sound quality is amazing especially if calibrated to the exact specs you'd like it by adjusting the Gain dial. No software is necessary, so it is an all encompassing mic. I have used it by myself, with a friend, and a room full of people without any issues. My only complaint is that the mic setting dial was very stiff, but that is negligible to the superior performance for the price. So, if you want a great quality mic for your gaming console or laptop, go Blue Yeti.

As an executive coach, I am often on ZOOM coaching sessions for four to six hours a day. I bought some seriously expensive headphones with noise-canceling so I could hear clearly and use the built-in microphone for clients to hear me. When I listened to a recorded session I found that my voice quality was terrible. I bought this microphone and it has enabled me to speak at regular volume, not strain my voice, and have crystal clear sound. It has made my work easier, more effective, efficient, and understandable. Even my transcript editor commented on how much better my automatically generated transcript is because my voice is more easily understandable. I highly recommend it. Photos show "pop guard" I added but haven't found necessary because the mic picks up sounds far enough that I don't have to speak right into it. My mouth is about two-feet away when using.

Definitely a very solid mic for the price. I would 100 percent buy again and recommend it to a friend. Sound is crisp and you can adjust the frequency and you can adjust the pattern in which the mic picks up sound. It also looks pretty nice on my desk. If you’re looking for a simple usb microphone for gaming, streaming, etc. You cannot go wrong with this mic.

Highly recommend this is the best of the best so don’t hesitate Go ahead and make the purchase!!! Now!!!!

The best of USB microphones until jumping into a more involved sound system- imo. I've used this since 2014 and it's always been just right, change the onboard volume control to hear others or hear yourself, mute when you need, and you'll sound great to others. Just watchout for vibrations hitting this.

I absolute love the quality of it, its helped me out with my live streaming and recording my videos

If you like to do potcast too much, I recommend this microphone apart from the good audio it has, also the different functions that its app carries will help you a lot with your streams

Easy set up! Nice product. The Yeti is great for gaming and podcasting.
