Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Pricy, but at a discount this was an amazing buy. Great for audiophiles

Sounds better than my old blue snowball! Told it sounds really crisp

very high quality microphone. used it once and fell in love with it. wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Picks up quite a bit of background noise so I had to purchase a wind shield for it. Overall it's a nice quality microphone though.

Workhorse of a microphone. I use this often for recording trainings and live for webinars. I have used this on Zoom webinars and ON24 platform as well. I have already recommended this to several of my colleagues and they have nothing but great things to say. It makes you really stand out on a call or recording.

This mic is so easy to use and offers fantastic quality for a USB mic!

The best gift is amazing for streaming I love the color and the sound

Just set up this Blue Yeti X along with a Blue microphone arm, shock mount, and pop filter. It's easy to adjust the equalizer in the Logitech G Hub app. The original microphone stand picks up alot of small bumps if placed on your desk. So I recommend getting a boom arm + shock mount to help.

Having the blue yeti x microphone for a couple of months it works perfect for the work I do I own two blue yeti microphones this one will be my third one I love it

Clear and crisp sound, excellent for just general party chat or streaming. Used it for Xbox Live Party Chat and Discord on my PC. Everyone that I play with says that the chat comes in more clear than before.

This Yeti mic is a great add on for my computer station. It also works well as a recording mic with Logic Pro. Super easy to connect and use.

Great mic for the price! Great Quality and sound!

I used this for acoustic guitar recording and singing at the same time. Good value for this price point.

good , cable it comes with was kind of bad but its held up for almost 2 years now

Mic stopped connecting to pc after a month. I think it may be due to a faulty wire. If I pay this much for a mic I expect it to work properly. Very disappointed because I was really looking forward to it.

--- SETUP --- The setup of the Blue Microphone Yeti X is quick and simple. It comes with a nice chrome base and a 6 foot micro USB plug for your computer. I removed the base and installed it on a Mic arm, which was a breeze as well. If you have an older version of the Yeti Mic, the base of this one fits the older model, but the USB cable is different. --- FEATURES --- The key feature of this Yeti X is the software that comes with it. It is highly recommended that you download Logitech G HUB to fully customize the lighting of the mic and, more importantly, the sound levels. You can plug headphones directly to the mic for mic monitoring and to hear the sound of your own voice through there if desired. --- PERFORMANCE --- The performance of the Yeti X is amazing. In Logitech G HUB, you are able to record yourself to preview how others will hear you. You can record any sample you want, like your own introduction to your podcast or gaming stream. After that, your recording will play on a loop. The loop is recorded without any settings applied at which point, you can change any settings and hear the difference live! That will go a long way to you finding your right sound and may even teach you a little about what all those levels actually do. Additionally, the feature called Blue Vo!ce will give you access to presets like Broadcaster, Classic Radio Voice, FM/AM Station, Low/High Voice and many others. If that’s not enough, you can download presets from other community members if you create an account with Logitech. If you feel that you created a unique setting, you can share it with the community. --- EXPECTATIONS --- The product exceeds my expectations. This microphone shows you the level that your speaking on the mic itself with an 11-segment LED meter. My voice was clear and my YouTube viewers told me that they loved the new sound. It couldn’t be easier to finally find a sound that you like for your own voice. If you don’t know what the difference is between the pickup patterns (cardioid, omni, bi-directional, and stereo), you’ll be easily able to tell the difference with the software. --- VALUE --- The price for the Yeti X in terms of value is a great investment for any serious streamer / podcaster. If you are upgrading, you will definitely tell the difference and so will your followers. --- APPROVAL --- I highly recommend this product for streamers / podcasters or anyone who wants a great USB professional level microphone. If your child is getting into streaming, he / she will love you for getting this for them.

I've used Blue microphones for all of my podcasts and voiceover work. They're reliable, high-quality, and the audio engineering matches the attention to detail on the exterior design. Blue Yeti X Pro is a great step up if you're looking for a mic upgrade or looking to jump into the streaming or podcasting world. If you're used to the Yeti, the form factor and UX elements on this mic are going to be very similar. The connector, rather than being a mini-USB is now a micro-USB. There's one additional capsule vs older Yetis which seems to vet out in recording quailty. Of the four modes, most streamers and podcasters will take advantage of the cardioid function, but for interviews, this performed *stunningly well* using the bi-directional mode. Versatility seems to be the name of the game here. Audio quality: simply put, you're gonna need to spend a significant amount of money to get better audio quality with as many options as the Blue Yeti X Pro gives you. Because it's a condenser mic, your voice will stand out in your videos/podcasts like you're sitting right next to your listener... and you can adjust the compression via software super easily (I've added a screenshot of the software tweaks you can make ON THE FLY - each setting has advanced settings as well as numerous presets you can enable in realtime). You can even save your own presets. Interface: the mute button now doubles as a gain adjuster as well as an on-mic LED meter. This can be kind of distracting if you're typing or something, but it's overall a really neat addition (and visual indicators about the status of the mic abound). The pattern adjuster is now a button instead of a knob and is also software selectable utilizing either Logitech G HUB or Blue's Sherpa software. Integration with G Hub is great for the gaming streaming contingent (especially if you're doing machinima). The software's vocal effects are cute and fun if you're not doing heavy post-production on your audio; it's also cool they can be applied in real-time. The audio processing seemed to occur either partially or fully on the microphone itself as I didn't notice a performance hit in using the effects. The first time you connect the mic it helps to have the Sherpa software running. I experienced some minor connectivity issues at first on macOS Catalina. Windows 10 had no such issues. After a quick reboot, the connectivity issue went away. I've loved and gifted Blue mics to my friends for years... I'm not about to stop any time soon. They're hands down some of the best microphones out there in terms of versatility, sound quality, and price and the Blue Yeti X is the latest torchbearer.

I got the Yeti X as an upgrade to the mic I currently record with, the original Blue Yeti. I mostly record video voice-overs and narrations using the cardioid pickup pattern and rarely, if ever, use any of the other three polar patterns for my needs. However, it’s nice that they’re there and they do work well when I use them. The sound quality from the Yeti X is crisp, clean, and warm sounding. Arguably, so is the original Yeti’s, however, you can hear a difference between the two: there’s a bit less harshness and smoother edges from recorded voices from the Yeti X versus the Yeti. This is unsurprising given that the Yeti X sports four condenser mic capsules over its predecessor’s three. I also thought it did a better job at controlling and evening out levels when your position relative to the mic changes. Like the original Yeti, you can plug a set of monitor headphones into the bottom of the Yeti X, so you can listen to your mic input overlaid with your computer’s audio. You can change the volume and balance of the monitor headphones relative to computer audio using the dial on the front or in the G Hub software. The Yeti X made the dial on the front clickable to activate the mic mute and change modes, which is a bit cleaner than having separate buttons and dials, although making adjustments with the physical controls during a recording will inevitably introduce some noise in your recording. The microUSB cable is positioned in a way that makes pulling it out by accident a concern, but that it is removable allows you to customize its length and replace it if that component fails. I also found the placement of the pattern selector button on the back a bit inconvenient as sometimes when moving the mic, I would accidentally press it and have to cycle back through the settings. This was not a problem on the old mic which used a physical analog dial that had to be twisted. With the gain set to zero, I thought the pickup wasn’t very strong. I found myself needing to set the gain to at least 3 LEDs (gain level 24 in G Hub software) to match the volume that I get from the original Yeti without gain from the same distance. When you turn up the gain, you can set the mic farther away from the sound source, but it will also pickup more ambient noise. That said, the mic sounds best when your mouth is practically right up against it, so you’ll want to make sure you get a pop filter if you’ll be speaking or singing into the mic to soften plosives e.g. ‘p,’ ‘t,’ and ‘k’ sounds. However, this wouldn’t be the best option for folks who want to record themselves in video and also keep their face visible. One advantage that the Yeti X has is its compatibility with Blue Voice filters which let you adjust and apply live processing to your voice on-the-fly in G Hub. This gives you fine tune control over how your voice sounds from EQ adjustments, to noise reduction, and compression settings. If you’re not sure where to start you can always choose a voice profile pre-set and customize them from there. Once you’ve found settings you like you can save it as a custom profile. The only thing is that you won’t be able to hear your filtered voice through the monitor headphones in real-time. You’ll still just hear your own unfiltered voice, so the only way to hear the output of the Blue Voice filter would be to record a sample and play it back, which thankfully there’s a ‘mic test’ feature in the Blue Voice settings of G Hub that does just that. In G Hub you can also customize the colors of the LEDs on the front of the unit for the various mode adjustments: mute, gain, live level monitoring, headphone volume, and headphone balance. The only feature that I found slightly unnecessary was the live level monitoring because when using the mic, your mouth is generally right up against it, which means that you’re never actually looking at the mic when you’re recording, so practically speaking, the levels indicator isn’t very useful. If you already own the original Blue Yeti, you know it already sounds pretty good, so it’s a judgment call whether or not you’ll want to invest in the more expensive Yeti X, given its marginal improvement in audio quality -- especially if you don’t think you’ll be using the live filters. But if you’re just starting out or are looking to upgrade a basic setup as a podcaster, livestream gamer, or for doing voice-over work, you’d be getting a beautifully designed and professional sounding mic with plenty of customizable features at an affordable price.

The Yeti X microphone is a standout for anyone looking to upgrade their audio setup, whether for streaming, podcasting, or content creation. The sound quality is exceptional, with crisp, clear voice capture and rich tones. It features four different pickup patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional, and stereo), allowing for versatile use in different environments. The built-in LED display is a nice touch, showing your mic gain and volume levels in real-time. The build quality is solid, and the mic has a premium feel. It’s plug-and-play with USB connectivity, making it super easy to set up. The Yeti X also integrates well with software like OBS and Zoom, and it works seamlessly on both Windows and Mac. The only downside is that it’s a bit bulky, but for the sound quality and features, it's well worth it. Overall, the Yeti X is an excellent choice for anyone looking for professional-grade audio at home.
