Logitech doesn’t disappoint.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.tl;dr High quality mic with easy setup and integration. You should probably get a boom arm for the best experience. This is a really good product that’s built well and does what it should. Ideally, you need to be inside of 2 feet from the mic for it to sound the best for listeners, but it does work when you’re further away. The gain control and clipping LED on the gain wheel are nice touches. Makes tweaking the sound a breeze on the fly. As always, Logitech LEDs look beautiful and have a nice glow without being crazy. Using G Hub helps fine-tune all those little details that you sometimes worry about for your audience. Works well with all my apps and games. My only “complaint” is that I need to get a boom arm so I can get the mic in a more consistent location so it’s close enough to sound the best. Real happy so far.

Logi Yeti GX Crystal Clear Clarity
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From the get-go, I've got to say, the Logitech Yeti GX feels like a serious gaming microphone. Right out of the box, it comes with a USB-C connector that’s a breeze to hook up. Need a swing arm stand for your setup? No worries! The Yeti GX also features a connector for that. Build quality is solid and stable. The Yeti GX showcases two RGB areas that provide dynamic lighting. I've had the privilege of changing up the lights to my mood and, honestly, it's a bit of fun. Alongside that, there's an easily accessible gain dial and a mute button. I can't stress how handy the mute button is for those unexpected interruptions! One thing that genuinely impresses me is the build of this mic. It's a sturdy little beast, weighing in just right, and its compact form of less than 6 inches makes it a nice looking addition to my setup. Plus, it's rather eye-catching, earning a few compliments from family and friends. Now, setup might be a deal-breaker for many, and believe me when I say, the Yeti GX is an absolute winner. Windows had it recognized straight away, and I was off to the races in about a minute! As for its audio performance - sublime. In my understanding, a Supercardioid mic is very good at isolating the sound of your voice and eliminating background noises. It's like this mic has selective hearing excellence. Regardless of the surrounding keyboard hustle or mouse clicks, the Yeti GX focused only on my voice. People I’ve spoken to said they could hear me crystal clear. Plus, there were zero static or white noise issues; muting the mic was like hitting a superhuman ‘pause’ on sound—completely silent. There was one teeny-tiny nitpick though - the sound scaling wheel didn't make a world of difference. Whether I cranked it up or nudged it down, I sounded pretty much the same. The position adjuster just stays put, holding its pose like a champ. I’ve tested this baby out in different audio calling and gaming scenarios, including rounds of Discord chats, heated sessions on R6 Siege, Valorant, and Apex. Across the board, every experience was satisfyingly smooth. All of my friends were impressed with the sound quality. In a nutshell, I’m a fan and think it's a fantastic gaming mic. If you're a gamer, a streamer, or a content creator like me, give this microphone a whirl. You won't be disappointed. Compared to my previous mics, this one is in a class by itself.

A Great Streaming & Podcast Mic
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My family has been quickly impressed with the Yeti GX Gaming Microphone. Not only is it easy to use, but it has several features to help ensure that audio sounds great with no need for lengthy touch-up editing. My son has shown interest in streaming and recording podcasts and we wanted a mic that would be simple for him to use (as he is still very young). He also requested a Mic with lights that would look cool if we ever decide to allow him to add video to his streaming content. ...Thankfully the mic was able to be used right out of the box. Even before I could get him to slow down and take the time to set up mic within the Logitech Gsync App, he was able to record a podcast and upload it to Spotify. I immediately noticed that the foam microphone cover was able to all but eliminate the pops and clicks of hard the hitting T and P sounds. Once we set up the Microphone within the Gsync App - audio quality was taken to the next level. The software enhanced the audio quality and volume while eliminating the clicks of his mechanical keyboard and mouse. The scroll wheel acts as a manual gain control and easily adjusts the volume of the recording - which is helpful so that you don't have to place the mic right up against your mouth. With a simple click of the wheel, it locks the settings. I also appreciate that the scroll wheel features a light that communicates the following: White Light: Mic is powered on Solid Green Light: The Mic is actively delivering audio Flashing Red Light: Gain level is too high and is causing audio distortion Blue/Cyan Light: Smart Audio Lock is initiated The Yeti GX is a killer option for beginners or experts as it captures incredible sounding audio. My only complaint is that customization within the app can be confusing. It is easy to download audio profiles created by other users in various categories such as gaming, or podcasting - but it is not clear what each of the profiles actually impacts. There also appears to be sound effects built into the app, but it is not clear how to actually use them in any meaningful way - such as assigning them as macros. But for simple, quality recording, the Yeti GX is excellent.

Excellent sound quality
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never knew how much a dedicated microphone can have such a huge impact on my videos. Logitech made an excellent mic with this Yeti GX. Granted I would either use my S23 Ultra or my GoPro and never had complaints about sound quality, but as soon as I listened when using the Yeti, the difference was clearly night and day. In the box is the Mic, Stand, an adapter (screw) if you want to use a boom arm, and a the USB cable. Setup is rather easy since it is just plug and play. I already use the G Hub software for my G502 gaming mouse and the PC instantly picked up the mic and was ready to go. The G Hub app is used for tweaking the RGB on the mic but I left it blue as that's my favorite color. It's just for looks and I am not staring at the Yeti when I am creating content. Sound quality is amazing. Crisp and clear sound even without a 3rd party pop filter. Even when gaming there were no complaints at all. As this is the first time using a dedicated mic, I was blown away at what I was missing and how 1 thing can make such a huge impact on content creation. If you are in the market, don't pass up the Logitech Yeti GX. You will thank yourself.

Jettisons the flash for great audio performance!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little gem from Logitech has just enough RGB bling to look “gamer-oriented,” but otherwise, it’s a pretty nondescript, slightly ordinary-looking microphone that you might be tempted to move right past for something showier and flashier that caught your eye. But if you did pass by the Yeti GX, you’d be missing out on some really outstanding performance hidden underneath that otherwise unassuming exterior. Of course, the big draw here is the fact that the Yeti GX features a dynamic microphone capsule--rather than a condenser—a design that is best suited for the purposes of picking up exactly what it’s pointing at while rejecting a variety of adjacent/surrounding background noise. This makes the GX particularly well-suited for streamers or solo gamers who care about the quality of their audio but may be recording/capturing their voice in a somewhat noisy environment. In practice, I can attest to the fact that the GX’s design works very well as advertised. In my sampling and creating of some video dubs, I could clearly tell that the GX was attenuating (though obviously not totally eliminating) some of the background and room noise that my 3-condenser mic was otherwise picking up on similar recordings. And especially when placed a bit closer to me, and angled even more directly at my mouth (which I had to remember to do as dynamic mics aren’t as sensitive as condensers to sound coming from just…anywhere), the resultant voice-over sounded very clean and, dare I say, even broadcast quality. Logitech did well to deliver on the promise of a “premium” yet still gaming-oriented mic, at least in terms of the performance areas that (arguably) matter most. Technical specifications are WAY better than just adequate with 24bit/96KHz sampling which is more than enough for outstanding audio capture for gaming or voice-over applications. My guess is you wouldn’t really need a mic with 192KHz resolution unless you wanted to record something like the very delicate and complex nuances of an incredibly high-quality musical instrument…but that doesn’t seem to be the target demographic/use case for the Yeti GX anyway. There is a physical mute button below the lighted gain dial; it does register a slight noise when pressed, but it’s more of a dull pressure-button “thud” than a hard switch-type “click” so you don’t get a lot of extraneous noise when muting/unmuting. The gain dial turns red when muted which is a nice visual indicator of mic status. The main gain dial also provides feedback cues while in use—white for powered on, green when actively capturing audio, flashing red if the gain is set high enough to start clipping or distorting (definitely a nice feature when you’re setting and forgetting audio levels), and cyan blue when Smart Audio Lock is enabled. Smart Audio Lock adds some additional audio processing into the mix after you’ve got the gain set where you want it; once you click the gain wheel, the mic works to dynamically adjust and readjust gain if necessary to hold levels steady--nice! Construction feels solid with a reasonably heavy desk stand included, though I would have loved something just a bit taller to help get the mic just a tad closer to my head. Logitech also includes a stepped boom/stand adapter that accepts 3/8” and 5/8” threads. The bottom offers up a USB-C port for the 2m USB-C to USB-A cable included. The top half of the mic is covered with a reassuringly thick foam windscreen while all the controls and displays are on the lower half. On the side opposite the mute and gain controls is an RGB Logitech “G” logo; an RGB light ring encircles the bottom. You can adjust the illumination and lighting patterns (or turn them off entirely) using LIGHTSYNC in the GHub companion app. Speaking of GHub, Logitech has come a long way with this app over the years, and the Yeti GX opens up a universe of OCD-level adjustments, tweaks, and features in a fairly user-friendly interface. Aside from lighting options for the RGB logo and bottom ring, the mic options enabled in the “Blue Voice” adjustments are extensive including precise numerical displays of input gain and master output level, high-pass filter adjustments from 20-400Hz, 3 voice EQ sliders that allow you to customize both center frequency and Q factor for low, mid, and high band signals, as well as six “Signal Cleanup” adjustments for noise reduction, noise gate setting, dynamic range compression, de-essing, de-popping, and a signal limiter. In addition to these various prosumer-level adjustments, Logitech also packs in some fun effects for voice modulation that can make you sound like anything from an alien to a demon to a robot, as well as a library of samples and sound effects/audio backgrounds like an air raid horn, haunted house, laser blasts, underwater sounds, etc. I’m not sure who the target audience is for these little embellishments, especially if you’re just a gamer, but I can see younger content creators having a good time with them. As a “premium” microphone, the only other obvious thing I can think of that would really push the Yeti GX over the top is an AUX/headphone monitor jack on the mic itself. My other 3-condenser desk-stand mic has an AUX jack on the bottom and I found it useful once in a while when I wanted to wear headphones during recording so I could monitor how everything sounded in the mix. But that is definitely picking nits at this point. Otherwise, the Logitech Yeti GX is simply an outstanding performer that will well and faithfully serve gamers, streamers, and budding content creators…highly recommended!

A great microphone option for prosumers.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Logitech's Yeti GX is a classy looking device, with just a bit of RGB and a handsome satin finish. The build quality is solid and feels premium, with a stand just heavy enough to do the job. I do think the arm could stand to be a couple of inches longer as it doesn't quite reach optimal position for my face. An adapter is included to attach it to any standard boom. The primary draw for me was the presence of a dynamic microphone capsule instead of a standard condenser, which does a fantastic job of reducing or eliminating background noise while targeting what's right in front of it. If you're recording or streaming in something other than complete silence, it's just great. This does mean that you need to be speaking into the microphone directly. The foam windscreen is reasonably thick and does it's job well. It's clearly marketed to gamers/streamers, but the audio quality (24bit/96KHz sampling rate) is solid enough for most general studio work as well. I did some acoustic guitar recording with it and it honestly rivals some better studio mics on the market. It features a lighted gain dial with a mute button that sits below, and comes with both a stand and an arm adapter. There's a little bit of a noise when you press the mute button before the mic is silenced, so if you do a lot of that with your recordings, you're going to have to get a little heavy with the editing. The gain dial will present itself with different colors depending on the status, letting you know when it's recording and if it's detecting distortion. It has the ability to lock in settings once you've got them tuned just right. It connects via USB-C and includes a USB-A to USB-C cable. Smart Audio is almost as great in practice as it is in theory. It adds some additional processing to your recording and adjusts itself on the fly to keep things balanced and level, in a way I've never experienced before. You can get surprisingly granular with the G-Hub app, which has plenty of options, including gain adjustment and master output, as well as high-pass and EQ settings. There's also a bunch of signal cleanup options for things like noise reduction, gating and compression. You can create custom presents for easy switching between projects. There's also around 20 voice effect presets, which you can also customize to your liking with pitch and ambiance settings. Logitech did an impressive job with their app. If you're a studio pro, this probably isn't a mic for you, but for anyone dabbling in streaming, content creation, or home studio recording, this is great option to consider. I definitely recommend it.

Form and function in one neat little package
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Logitech Yeti GX is a microphone with a premium look and feel, offering an intuitive plug-and-play experience and a setup process to install on either a boom arm or the included stand that is dead easy - just screw it in! I can easily say this is a device that even a beginner who is unfamiliar with using mics would be able to get up and going within five minutes, maybe ten if you factor in installing the G Hub software to customize and tweak settings. On my Windows 11 machine, doing so was pretty painless - though I have seen some Mac users have issues with G Hub's software, so your mileage may vary. At a glance, it's pretty obvious that the Yeti GX is oriented to gamers, content creators, and streamers - the RGB is hard to ignore, but it doesn't detract from the sleek and modern look at all. It's also highly customizable, with the ability to add animations and individually change the RGB light ring on the bottom of the mic and the lights on the G logo. I appreciated being able to add my own effects, though I did find that the G Hub software could have a bit of a learning curve as far as creating animations. It didn't take long to figure it out, and I would rather have it than not — but it's worth noting that if you're not used to doing that, it might take a little bit to work it out. The degree of customizability would likely be especially appreciated by content creators and streamers who want to add a little oomph to mic setups and add visual interest by perhaps adding your signature colors or even just having a neat "breathing" light effect in the background. I stream occasionally without a camera but still enjoyed the RGB lighting effects for my own sake; if something has to sit on your desk anyways, why not have it look cool? I also really liked the build quality of this mic. It feels solid and hefty, giving it a "premium" vibe. The ability to mount it on either the stand or a (not included, obviously) boom arm adds flexibility that is nice to see. The included scroll wheel having different status lights is handy, but beyond that, I didn't find myself using it. Other users might find it more helpful. Again, it's a feature that I would rather have than not. As a disclaimer, I'm not an audiophile nor am I familiar with high-end audio equipment. That said, I personally perceive the audio quality as quite good, especially when using the G Hub software to tune certain settings to my liking. The voice filters in G Hub are fun to mess around with, though after the novelty wore off there was limited utility for myself. The sound is clear and crisp, and in my opinion, it would be more than adequate for streaming, gaming, and discord/zoom calls. It's miles ahead of my headset and Airpods' mic, and even though I found it a bit overkill for casual gaming sessions with friends, it does sound nicer than using a terrible mic that picks up every background sound it can. That isn't to say that the Yeti GX blocks out all background noise. It did a decent job of minimizing my keyboard and mouse, and to be fair I do use a mechanical keyboard so the clacks can be a little loud, but I could still more or less hear my keyboard plus occasional mouse clicks in the background when I tested it. To the Yeti GX's credit, they were still somewhat softer than they are in person, and adjusting the mic position might help minimize them even further. Overall I feel the Yeti GX offers a nice experience for the right person. It might be a touch excessive for casual gamers wanting something for discord calls or in-game chats, but there is still value to be had, and the build quality and RGB lighting might be enough to still make it worth it for casual users anyways to elevate their gaming setups. This mic is definitely moreso aimed at streamers and content creators though, and this mic provides good audio quality with ease of use without an intimidating setup process. For the more casual streamer who wants something that sounds nice, looks cool, and is easy to set up and use, I think this mic is a fantastic recommendation.

All-around Fantastic
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Logitech - Yeti GX is a masterful product. The "Blue" bones are apparent. Being a headset user for oh-so-long, I wasn't prepared for the vaulting in performance I was primed to experience. Setting up the Logitech - Yeti GX was pretty simple in Windows 11 - like any audio mic or headset. Logi took a little time to add the GX to the G-Hub software but once it arrived, a firmware update was waiting along with all the functionality one would expect from any, equally impressive Blue Yeti product. I did get a day or so of use prior to the GX coming fully online within the software and the feedback I received from friends on Discord and Skype was a bit unexpected. Everyone without exception raved about the voice quality they were hearing from me. Discord does have some adjustment settings but I did little messing with any of that to start. Far too often, echo and thinness are a thing with a wide range of headsets - no matter if they are wired or wireless. Frustrating realities to be completely honest. But as soon as I configured my PC to use the Logitech - Yeti GX as the input device and yanked the mic stick from my headset - everything changed for the better. I've heard a few recordings of group voice conferences I was a part of in Discord and I was pleasantly surprised how full & balanced my voice sounded. I have the GX positioned on my desktop approx. 12 to 14 inches away from my face. My PC is an air-cooled beast, about 28 inches off to the side at the same level of my desk surface and none of the fan noise pouring out from it is getting picked-up by the microphone! In addition to the standard "voice" usage, I also did some demo's of music playing on an audio system across from me in the same room. I still left the Yeti GX in the same desktop position and proceeded to crank up the tunes to a moderately loud level, as I stood up and move to the side. My pal said the sound quality was amazingly good - so the guts of this GX isn't some meager assembly of low-cost parts. The Logitech - Yeti GX is solidly constructed with just the right amount of RGB bits to it. And you entirely shut off all that bling if you want. The desk stand is stout and provides a smooth articulation of the main mic body to the preferred position. The dial and mute switch are in the perfect location IMHO. Jumping into the G-Hud software, everything & more is available. I won't go through an extensive setting-by-setting detailing but the attached photos should give any prospective buyer a really good overview of how well Logitech presents the GX controls. Broadcast/tone shaping is deep, with plenty of clean-up & tone controls. Blue Vo!ce is comprehensive and does true magic. There's also a Sampler section which is a nice bonus for those interested in adding a touch of flare to their deal. And of course, there is a RGB lighting control page. All-in-all, I see the layout of these controls as some of Logitech's best software work - Ever! The Logitech - Yeti GX completely changed my mind about stand-along microphones. It's utterly transformational to be completely honest. I'll only go back to using a headset when it's absolutely necessary and convenient. So, give it try: Use your favorite headphones without the protruding mic stick and pair those cans with this fantastic desktop mic. It screams Logi G via it's look but it's Blue Yeti, through & through! It's all in the performance level. Highly, and I mean - Highly! recommended

Nice Microphone with some caveats
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this mic for almost a week now and would like to share my thoughts. To start off.. I'm a "old school" PC gamer and I've used many mics and headsets over the years. While most headsets offer the bare minimum, this is more or less a step over the standard headset boom and desktop condenser mic setup most people are used to. You see.. This mic isn't the run of the mill condenser design but a Dynamic Supercardioid mic with a built in USB hardware. While Most Dynamic mics are connected via XLR, this is a newer and solid foray into the limited market of USB Dynamic mics, which have been gaining popularity over the last 2 years. The benefits of a Dynamic USB mic? -You do not need a XLR cable or mixer. -Everything is handled through the internal ADC/USB connection straight to your PC. -Gives you that "Broadcaster type sound" which Dynamic mics are known for, especially with added additional Software which is available since The 9/20 update for Logitech GHUB software. The internal ADC is capable of 24/48 and 24/96 settings via windows. Both have been tested and work extremely well for me. GENERAL OPINIONS: As I mentioned, I've had countless headsets and mics as well as competitor options.. I would rate this as solid among its competition. It doesn't exactly stand out for me, but it's certainly not terrible either. A major Pro? It has a mute button. Cons for this? It's audible when clicked, but not as bad as others which can be annoying to friends or people you meet online via competitive games. The Gain control? Not really a fan of the physical "mouse wheel" straight off a G403, but the software tells you the EXACT value which I highly value for consistency of knowing what "works". You can also click the wheel in and it locks out the setting from being touched. They call it "Smart Audio Lock" When used on Discord and other apps, The "auto gain" the program has generally dials in well for this specific hardware. Key strokes are audible but only for the first few strokes. I don't know what kind of magic Logitech/BLUE implemented but it does better than your average condenser mic design which more or less captures everything. Yes it's dynamic and yes you can hear key strokes (on desk mount) if you're just testing this with windows software, but its not as bad as your average condenser mic with voice programs for example. Regular monitoring from Windows? Sort of picks up everything.. hard to explain. SOFTWARE: The software is straight forward and has a number of presets which I will link with this review. I did run into a weird glitch where the game "League of Legends" turns off the LEDs when alt tabbing. I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, but its a very odd occurrence and I cant exactly figure it out. Default LED color is Logitech CYAN BLUE unless you start messing with the software to change. LED'S are subtle if you like that kind of thing or Sync with other Logi products. There is also another glitch where changing any default preset will add another identical preset with your desired gain changes. Seems to be no way to delete this. Software also offers a voice changer and sound board effects which can be bound to your keyboard. I do not use these so I cannot comment how well they work. CONS: There is no dedicated monitoring on the mic itself and it seems this feature was removed last minute. How do I know? There's photos on Logitech's website which shows the 3.5mm jack next to the USB-C connection. You can also feel around on the physical product itself and there seems to be a "hole" or 3.5mm jack under the Logitech product sticker. I must say.. I'm not happy this got removed as it seems they wanted to cut corners on internal hardware. The pop filter can also get dirty easily with dust and other particles. SUBJECTIVE/OBJECTIVE: The included desk mount "MAY" be prone to vibrations and or key strokes with higher gain needed to capture voice if you're taller. This is with mic head pointed straight at me from top side.. I would highly recommend purchasing a "boom arm" if you want optimal performance out of this microphone. The desk mount can suffice, but windows monitoring will literally pick up every thing you do, even vibrations from your room fan.. It's weird because voice programs like discord can mask it.. and perform well. Lifting the product off the desk and positioning it closer to the face sounds much better and avoids many issues. Gain will have to be lowered but this can be done via software or dial itself. CONCLUSION: Overall I think the YETI GX is a solid product. I wouldn't call it a game changer, but its certainly good enough to offer gamers and content creators 95% professional sound. I wouldn't be surprised if the capsule is taken from the slightly older XLR BLUE SONA and repurposed with lower specifications for alternative use with this YETI GX MIC. I don't know, it's just a guess as the specs are kind of close.. Lower/Alternative binning? *Software/GHUB Is buggy via 9/20 release. Highly recommend boom arm* 4/5 stars for mic itself.

Great USB Mic!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Logitech G Yeti GX is an awesome microphone that produces quality audio and features customizable RGB lighting. It has a dynamic capsule that rejects background noise and key clicks. It easily handled my mechanical keyboard and loud case fans while still producing a solid tone for streaming and recording. The unit also has a super cardioid pickup pattern that ensures your voice is clear and crisp without any unwanted interference. With regard to design, one of the more attractive features of the Yeti GX is the RGB lighting. You can customize the color and brightness of two separate zones on the microphone - the logo and the ring around the scroll wheel. You can choose from a standard color selector and sync them with other Logitech G devices, such as mice and keyboards, for a fully immersive gaming experience. You can also create your own lighting effects or use presets that react to your game or music. Don't forget to update your firmware via the G Hub software too! The Yeti GX is easy to set up and use and connects via USB-C and works with most popular streaming software, like OBS and Discord. The microphone has a sturdy metal stand that can be adjusted to different angles, or removed if you want to mount it on a boom arm or other type of stand. The microphone also has a 3.5mm headphone jack for monitoring if that’s a thing you need. Overall, I think the Logitech G Yeti GX is an awesome USB microphone that delivers superb sound quality and features customizable RGB. It is well-designed, durable, and versatile, and the G Hub software enhances your voice and overall gaming experience.

Great sound, plug and play
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Logitech Yeti GX is a sharp looking and high performance microphone. There are cheaper options out there, and if you already own a Blue Yeti microphone, there's little reason to upgrade unless you just have the RGB lighting. It's a much smaller than most USB microphones I've used and takes up little space on your desk due to it's small footprint. It's small enough so that when you're streaming or otherwise on a video call it won't be seen, but given it's lighting, you might want to prop it up to show it off. There's USB-C port on the bottom, RGB light ring on the bottom. On the back, the only buttons you get are a mic gain and a mute button. Honestly, it's really the lighting that sets this microphone apart from an otherwise plain black microphone. I like that a red light comes on when you're muted, which is nice, although the light and gain dial are on the back. The lights on the gain dial will go red if it's too high and you have the option to push the dial in to hold the gain at a specific level (light goes blue) to prevent accidental changes. It's purely plug and play. Plugging it in is really all you do to get up and going. You'll get great, balanced sound without doing a thing, although there are plenty of software options on Logitech G Hub to tweak the sound to your liking. G Hub is also where you'll go to change the RGB light ring at the bottom. It's a supercardiod microphone so it picks up the best sound when speaking to it through the top, and rejecting sounds from the sides. It picks up everything from whispers to harsh singing without being too close. It does a great job of not picking up extraneous sounds like game sounds and a clicky keyboard. One minor hiccup was that I had a hard time getting Logitech G Hub to recognize it on my work laptop. It worked great on my laptop, just by plugging it in, but I wasn't able to to adjust the lights. It was however instantly recognized on my ASUS gaming laptop. It's a small sample size, and I wouldn't necessarily expect you to have the same issues, it was worth noting. In sum, this is a nice sounding microphone with a small footprint that's dead simple to use (meaning you don't need to make any sound adjustments to get great sound IMO). Although I like it a lot, primarily because it matches the aesthetic of my Logitech gaming keyboard and mouse, other than the RGB lighting it does little to separate itself from the crowd. But it's competitively priced and has the sound you give to expect from Blue Yeti.

A new look for the Blue brand!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used a Blue Snowball microphone for a while now on my desk, so upgrading to the new Yeti GX microphone has been a treat! The quality associated with the Blue brand definitely lives on in its new Logitech form, and the Yeti GX is a sleek, stylish RGB-capable microphone that would look fantastic on any desk. I love the color it brings to my desk, its high quality sleek build and stand, and that it doesn’t take up too much space (it can also be attached to a boom mount, and an adapter for mounts is included in the box)! This truly is a high quality microphone and sounds fantastic in any scenario, from gaming to business video calls (you’ll likely get some compliments on your sound quality from time to time using this!). The sound is crisp, clear, and highly configurable in terms of volume and sound profile, both via the hardware and the Logitech G Hub companion software. You can use the input volume wheel on the side for quick volume changes (it would be nice if there was some physical indication as to what the selected gain level is, but the wheel is clickable to lock in your sound level to combat this), as well as the on-board mute button for quick hardware muting. The Logitech G Hub software can also control all of these hardware features, as well as provides a wide array of sound controls branded as “Blue Voice” to refine exactly how your microphone sounds at a rather granular level, adjust noise cancellation levels, adjust the highs and lows in your voice via EQ, and even provide effects and simulate fun different voices like an alien or robot! There is also a mini in-app marketplace where you can share and download others’ effects to use, and you can use the software to control the lighting scheme of the microphone and customize it to your liking too! The only issue I’ve had with this microphone so far is that when connected to my Mac (work computer), the microphone occasionally randomly stops accepting input with no definitive reason present (with the mic still appearing in my audio preferences list). I’m sure this is just a minor bug that can be fixed simply with either a firmware update or by reinstalling the microphone drivers/Logitech G Hub app, as my laptop had a bit of a rough time onboarding the microphone due to some security policies and permissions issues. This issue does not negatively impact my thoughts on or experience with this microphone though and I would still highly recommend it to all!

Logitech G Yeti GX – Great main stream microphone
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Logitech G Yeti GX makes for a great gaming or mainstream microphone especially if you’re in the Logitech ecosystem. The microphone comes well packaged in a slim box with an included stand and boom arm mounting adapter. The stand does not offer any sort of shock absorbing features so if that is a requirement look into getting a boom arm with a shock absorber. The Yeti GX connects via USB-C from the bottom of the microphone to USB-A on the other end of the cable. There are a plethora of audio settings to fine tube the microphone as well as adding voice effects to your audio in the Logitech G HUB software. There is a scrolling gain wheel as well as a mute button on the side, the scroll wheel does light up red when muted but the main RGB light on the bottom does not follow suit. The Yeti GX has great noise suppression features that make it so that you don’t really hear loud gaming keyboards when using the microphone as well as other background noises. The Smart Audio Lock is a great feature in the software that prevents the microphone from clipping and distorting when there are sudden shifts in the input volume. Using the Logitech G HUB software you’re able to sync the Yeti GX to your mouse, keyboard, headphones and other peripherals so they are in sync color wise. Overall I am satisfied with the Logitech G Yeti GX as it makes for a great mainstream microphone as well as one for gaming.

Good Beginner Mic, Great For Gaming
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Another decently good Yeti mic…for beginners! It’s great for beginners with little experience with professional mics and great for young gamers alike. It has the cool factor with the led lights glowing around the mic and matching the rest of the space with lighting layouts. It’s build with good quality plastic, so it doesn’t feel flimsy or inferior to other mics in this class. The mic is simple yet refined. It looks great no matter where you put it, but can also attach to a boom arm, or other stands, especially with its included stand adapter. It’s easy to operate, kind of like a plug and play and it uses a usb-c to usb cord. There aren’t tons of dials to configure and play around with on the mic itself. There’s an easy to reach mute button on the back side which is a plus. You can also quickly adjust and set gains with the dial above the mute button. The sound quality is pretty good. It sounds good in several environments. But I feel like the mic has to be fairly close and directly in front of your mouth to have better quality audio right out of the box. The distortions can be really bad if you don’t change or adjust your gains. You can make adjustments on the Logitech GHub for more optimization, personalized settings and effects. If using it on desktop it will pick up keyboard sounds or bumps on the table but it does fairly well trying to block it out. I would say it’s great for individual setups. It’s not great for podcasts, interview style setups, multi person setups. The mic is unidirectional so it’s best straight in front of the main person. One of the things I wish were different is where the usbc cord is located. It would’ve been more streamlined if the cord was placed elsewhere. On its current stand its visible from any angle as it plugs directly under the mic but it isn’t a big issue and seeing that the mic can be removed from its desktop stand and placed onto different stand setups like boom arms, the cord then seems to be out of the way and less noticeable.
