    Product quality is outstanding. Relatively simple setup right out of the box. Voice clarity is vastly improved over using our webcam microphone. With the transition from classrooms at schools to offsite distance learning, speech delivery is much clearer during online meetings for the students and parents that I work with when using this microphone. I chose to add a windscreen to ours; seen in the attached picture. For those reviewers who mention the $50 Ubisoft discount promotion, please remember that you are purchasing a microphone and to expect that the $50 Ubisoft promotional card has an expiration date of September 30, 2019. Other reviewers mentioned the expired promotion; please bank in it being expired. This combination of microphone and Ubisoft promotion card are likely old stock. Purchasing the microphone with the expired discount promotion was still a better price than purchasing the microphone alone; at least when we made the purchase. Taking a glass half full mindset with this review. All the best!

    The mic is amazing, and worth the price I paid. Sadly, while the box says it contains a $50 discount code, the code was only for $20. Thinking it was a fluke, I exchanged it for another and got the same thing. Ubisoft, it would seem, supplied the packager with the wrong product.

    Pros: 1) Great (!) sound quality 2) Four simple options, really hard to mess up 3) Simple set up, just plug the microphone in the USB port on your computer, and select the mic as a default in the settings (the mic also comes with a simple instruction booklet). 4) No SD card required, this mic records straight into your computer. I use the default sound recorder that comes with Windows, but there are other options available if you want to play with the sound. Cons: 1) Not portable. Since it is a USB microphone, you are tied to your computer. 2) Bulky and heavy. This is a tabletop mic. 3) The dial to switch among the modes is really tough to turn Overall, I really like it! I think portability is the primary issue for me, but I knew what I was purchasing.

    Where to start? I bought this so I could do a podcast and to be honest it was a much better product than I expected. 4 settings, a headset Jack, powered by USB which I was able to connect to my iPad Pro. The sound quality I can capture is beyond amazing. I was recording my podcast and captured my dog snoring from 8 feet away. You could hear it plain as day. After that I build a sound studio to further enhance my work. I cannot say how awesome a product for the price this is. I am not one of those people who knows a lot about these things but... I have done a fair amount of ADR work and can tell you what does and does not sound good in post. This microphone is suitable for professional grade sound and voice capture. You will not be disappointed.

    So I ended up buying this microphone after talking with a few streamer friends of mine and, wow let me say this was a great investment. I went cheap at first and my audio was bad on stream but with this new bad boy my voice is super clear and it catches all of my deep breathing lol. You won’t regret this purchase.

    Ubisoft coupon is a complete SCAM!

    I haven't tried the mic yet. It's huge and I expect it to work well. However, the Ubisoft "$50" is a complete and total scam. You can't use it on anything that is on sale, but pretty much everything is on sale. So the price jacks up to full price again before you apply the coupon. The coupon actually ADDED $110 to the price of my order so I didn't buy those items. The most I could squeeze out of this "$50" was $8 and change towards 2 obsolete but interesting games. Don't buy this for the coupon because it is a disappointment and somewhat sleazy. This company should not do promotions with Ubisoft unless they want angry customers or make the coupon actually worth something. Even a real $20 voucher would be better than a fake $50 that is acutally negative $110.

    Pretty Solid Mic

    I bought this so that I would be able to record clear audio without the static noise you would hear on most gaming headset/microphones. It's easy to set up, merely connect the included cable into both the microphone and USB port on your PC. The instructions are very clear and briefly describes the different modes the microphone has. What I really like about it is that it also tells you what the different modes are recommended for. the "Omni-directional" mode is recommended for instrumental recording, or group singing, etc, etc. It is very friendly towards beginners, especially me since this is my first dedicated microphone. Since you now have a dedicated microphone, why need your gaming headset right? The microphone even has a headphone jack so you can throw away that $100 headset and use your apple earbuds or whatever 3.5mm earphone you use. On the front of the microphone, there is a dedicated volume knob and a mute button that flashes red, indicating that it is muted. On the back, there is the knob for switching between the different modes the microphone can be as well as a knob to turn up or down how loud the microphone projects the sound it records. "Gains" is what the knob is labeled. The microphone itself is very well made. Heavy steel (I think its steel?) as a base and a lighter, but still metal body. There are knobs for you to adjust the angle of the microphone, or even unscrew the base so that you can mount on an elevated mount. The quality of the microphone is superb. It pretty much picks up everything. From mechanical keyboard clicks to you swallowing just a bit loudly. Very very excellent. So in all, was the 130ish dollars I spent on the product worth it? Yes. Considering how well the microphone sounds and the fact that I will be using this when I stream on twitch and record commentary for youtube videos, I feel like this is a very good investment this should probably last me for a couple of years.

    Bought this microphone over a year ago and it's still going strong. In fact, sometimes it's TOO good! It'll pick up little sounds like my chair squeaking or people moving around upstairs even with noise cancellation. Absolutely worth the money I spent on it.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    BEWARE, I bought this microphone that was suppose to come with a $50 Ubisoft discount code but instead received a $20 discount code. Customer support told me that I would have to return the product just for that $50 discount code. I'm disappointed as I do not have the time to do this and do not want to return the microphone because I'm satisfied with it. This makes me not want to shop at Best Buy any longer.

    I was already looking at blue mics this happened to be priced the same as the other YETI microphones as it was on sale. I purchased this specifically for the 50$ to ubisoft as i spent it on RS operator edition(you have to spend 59$) for the giftcard/code to take effect. It works great has options to change how the mic picks up/outputs depending on if you have a tv in the background/other noise or a loud floor ac/fan. Definitely needs software to maximize its potential. Offers a hp pass through for people on a laptop per ex? or with sub/par onboard soundcards as well. I definitely wanted a mic i could manually change the vol on and mute, for a few $$$ more the added channels and giftcard made this an easy choice especially when on sale

    I was using the onboard mic on my laptop & it was ok. I got this mic, boom arm & pop filter all at best buy & took it to pro level. I adjust the knob so that I can speak normally & it picks me up louder. Now I have great audio on my channel. Awesome product.

    This microphone has been the best I’ve ever used. I’m not any type of big time streamer, I’m not a podcaster, I’m just a guy who plays a few games online with his buddies, though we are a bit of audio snobs when it comes to sound quality. We nearly all own this product and could not recommend it more. The Yeti is super clear, extremely well built, and seems to be able to take a beating and keeps on trucking. If you are going to purchase an arm for this microphone, please be mindful of the weight. While it is well built and durable, it comes at the cost of weighing more than what most manufacturers of the arms anticipate.

    Great mic for the price. There are better mics on the market but for the price of the Blue Yeti, you can’t go wrong. Great sound quality out of this mic. I would recommend getting a mic arm for this mic, since the stand is a little short. The Logitech app for PC allows you to customize your mic and set it up for your environment.

    I got this microphone after going through different ones that included ones that came with headsets and the snowball. This is a really good microphone if you’re looking for something to stream with, record videos, or just casually gaming or chatting with friends. A nice bonus is that it came with a $50 gift card that you can use to buy more games ;)

    WE bought the Yeti USB microphone based on other reviews of the product. We purchased the microphone to live stream our church services during the Covid-19 pandemic stay-at-home order. It provides excellent quality sound and the only setup is plugging it into the computer. We made the choice of this Yeti because it was black and thought it would look more professional than blue.
