Customer Ratings & Reviews

The way my desk is set up, the mic on my webcam was just not great for teaching my classes so I thought I'd try something a bit more suited for the task. Took a trip to my favorite Best Buy in Roseville, MI and found this Yeti Nano. Not hard to find as it seemed there had been a run on mics that day and there was only one left. Noting that the price was ok I thought I would take a chance. I got home and fired it up and after my first class, I knew that I had a good deal. I kept getting remarks from my students that they could hear me so much better and the sound quality was excellent. So, considering the price, the performance and the looks, I believe I made the best decision. An easy 5 stars from me!

For under $100, this microphone will be all I need for my recording and VC needs. It's easy to use and set up. Me and people I talk to online have noticed a difference in quality compared to built-in microphones with the headphones I use. Going to keep this mic around for years.

I bought this a few months ago and it works great. My usual recording software is Audacity, but the audio is so good (or so poor) that the test recordings had a significant amount of echo. I tried recording on the standard recording software that came with my computer and the Nano works perfectly. No echo or feedback. The Yeti recording software that you can download seems pretty pointless. Maybe it works for some, but for me, it didn't seem worth the extra hardware space. It doesn't take up much space physically and is easy to set up and use.

I wanted to start a podcast for a little passion project I had and most of the other microphones I looked at were just a bit too expensive. This little Yeti Nano at just $100 is excellent. It plugs into my computer (or iPad with Lightning-to-USB adapter) and it just works. My voice sounds clear and free from outside noise or background fuzz. If you need a reasonably priced microphone for starting out in VO or streaming, this is exactly what you need. Higher priced microphones will get you more features, but this gives you the necessities that will actually matter to you. Also, be sure to download the Blue Sherpa software to your computer so you can control the gain because you can’t do that on the mic itself.

Pretty good Microphone. Doesn't have a very big foot print which is nice too. I would recommend it. One issue I had experienced is that it would interfere with my WiFi connection on my laptop when it was plugged into my laptop. My WiFi card is onboard, so it was an odd one. So to resolve, I used this microphone on a complete different PC. The second issue I had was the microphone wasn't being recognized properly in the sound mixer settings on Windows 10. Found a quick video online to correct it, so that was easy. Would I recommend it to people? Yes. Would I buy it again? Yes. Is it the best Mic for the price? No. It doesn't include a pop filter, but not a big deal! Pop filters are cheap.

Though I do not record audio, I purchased this a few months ago to have a better meeting experience and this mic made by Blue, did not disappoint at all. It is well constructed, not software install needed. Though there is a software which you can install to improve quality, it is not needed. The audio picks up my voice clearly and I ma now able to have great and clear conversations via Zoom or other platforms. A highly recommended mic worth the price

I purchased the Blue microphone because of online work and Zoom trainings. This Nano is perfect in size, quality of audio, and simplicity of use. Just plug in to your laptop and you are good to go. You can even use the Blue app to adjust the audio qualities. I also have tried using the Apple AirPods Pro, a USB lapel microphone, and the laptop mic for Zoom sessions and the Blue microphone consistently produces the best audio quality.

I had the larger Yeti a couple of years ago and gave it to my son who is a singer so he could do some recordings. I missed having that nice quality microphone, so when I saw this one I thought I'd give it a try. It's simple to hookup, but I had to download their Blue Sherpa software and configure the audio format to 24 BIT, 48 kHz under Control Panel | Sound | Microphone Properties | Advanced before it cleared an error. After that it works perfectly and I am very happy with it. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a high quality microphone.

This is not a criticism of the Blue Nano, but a criticism of most meeting software: They all seem to do some kind of auto-leveling of the microphone pre-amp gain. That's fine for the built in mic, but it's annoying if you want finer control over the levels, and doubly annoying if you are direct monitoring your own voice (because the level bounces up and down.) Still, very good sound quality, and for the price it will pay for itself pretty quickly. I can imagine it would be amazing for podcasting.

After my Blue Snowball crapped out after over 10 years of service, it was time for a replacement. Obviously I was getting another Blue mic (this brand is the best in the business), and decided to get the Yeti mini rather than a full size version due to limited workspace. Needless to say this smaller mic holds its own with the big boys. Plug it in and get clear recordings in any app (I use most Audacity and PowerDirector for voiceovers), and you can switch between recording modes with the push of a button, as well as mute the mic entirely. It’s a compact but powerful mic for anyone who works from laptops or just simply doesn’t want to cramp their workspace, and as said before, I trust Blue for their reliable and sturdy craftsmanship, so here’s to another 10 years of service!

It has a perfect size, my recordings sound very good

The Blue Yeti Nano is a good sub $100 usb mic. I purchased it to do voice overs for work videos and with some post processing, it sounds great. It has automatic gain which I worked out during post processing. If you want good quality without spending too much this is a good choice.

The Blue Yeti microphone impresses with its outstanding audio quality, delivering sharp and pristine sound for a range of purposes. Its adaptable design caters to diverse recording needs, making it well-suited for podcasting, gaming, and professional voice work. With its intuitive controls and easy setup, users can navigate effortlessly, and the robust construction guarantees long-lasting durability. The variety of pattern options adds versatility, making the Blue Yeti a dependable and top-performing USB microphone choice.

Exceptionally quick and easy set-up — plus great sound quality.

Microphone sounds great in quality, with the correct setting its as good as a xlr mic for almost half the price. Easy to use, quick plug and play.

I bought this microphone to do voiceovers for my videos. From the moment I plugged it into my computer and attached my headphones, I felt like a professional. There is only one button, so it’s just push (green light = on) and play. I’d definitely suggest a pop filter or an isolation shield to for a more professional sound. Overall, I have no complaints. It’s a great microphone at a reasonable price l.

This was a Christmas gift to my daughter who is writing a book. She has been using it to record interviews as she travels. She absolutely loves it. I chose it because of its multiple pattern settings, small size (lightweight and easy to pack), quality, and plug & play simplicity. For those who don't know already, Blue is a major manufacturer of studio quality microphones. They've taken that knowledge and made a real winner in this consumer USB mic. Simply brilliant!

Excellent product! Great sound, well made, and decent price!

I really like this microphone. The size is manageable on a smaller desk, plus it is really easy to move around. The mute button (and color coded ring) is a great feature that I use constantly. I’m satisfied that the increased audio quality of my voice (compared to built-in laptop mic quality) was worth the purchase price.

This smaller and cheaper mic than the original gives you probably 85-95% of the quality, which for my use case is worth it. Setup is as simple as plug and play. The construction of the materials is high quality. I wish there was a physical adjusted on the mic for gain like the original, but I guess there have to be some trade offs for the lower price.
