Logitech for Creators Blue Yeti USB Microphone for Recording, Streaming, Gaming, Podcasting on PC and Mac, Condenser Mic for Laptop or Computer with Blue VO!CE Effects, Adjustable Stand - Black

I've used this microphone for approximately 2 years now and it is great! The audio quality, improved significantly by utilising the manufacturer software is really clear and crisp. The microphone can be quite sensitive to pops, esses and background noise so best to use a filter of sorts (through software) to minimise non-human sounds. The quality of the product is great. It is robust and has no dints, dings or scratches despite being dropped quite a few times. My only issue lies with the positioning of the USB port which is at the base of the microphone (not to be confused with the stand - which is detatchable) which can become disfigured or damaged over time due to the USB cable pulling or being tensed against one side. This problem could be resolved with a better USB cable angled at 90 degrees when entering the base of the microphone. Otherwise; Looks great, connects to the computer with minimal effort and has plenty of features that will have you up and going in no time.

I felt this was a very good mic. I brought it to record my voice and was quite easy to set up. You can plug it in and use it straight away in any recording software. However, I record in OBS and have set up filters for the mic to improve the audio and reduce the background noise. Mic has multiple control knobs on the mic, one increases headphone volume, one increases mic volume (gain) there is a dial that changes where the mic picks up sound from, have a look into which best suits you and which each means, but for my purposes, it works great. It does use the old style usb to micro usb, which is relatively uncommon, but connects well. Overall the mic is really good, looks sleek, but my only criticism is the stand it comes with, while sturdy, where it screws into the mic comes loose quickly without moving it, meaning the mic can turn unexpectedly. This is expected as many recommend getting a different stand or bracket.

My Yeti was bought for a static placement with podcasting / voice over / audible books type use in mind. It was chosen after a great deal of research and deliberation, both on and off the internet. During these investigations the price dropped dramatically and my choice became a very easy one - I am now the owner of my very own Yeti. So, am I happy with my decision now that I have used it for real? Absolutely - it's a great piece of audio equipment. It is not just really solid, and physically heavy, it captures sound with wonderful clarity - the most important function. The working bit of the Yeti is attached by two screws to the heavy, solid, stylish stand which has a neoprene type mat affixed the the bottom. Although it can be tilted on the stand, since it is a side-faced mic (i.e. the mics are designed to pick up best from the sides), there is no real advantage to this except it does make is easier to insert the USB & headphone connections. The 'Blue Thepop Filter', bought separately, fixes nicely to the back of the stand (with a small bit of rubber backed carpet or mouse mat - see my review of Thepop filter) allowing the metal pop filter to swing round gracefully from the back to a functional position in front of the mic. The stand itself, in spite of the mat, will easily pick up and transmit sound from any surface it is placed on - as such mics do. For this reason mine is placed on a separate wheeled chest of drawers next to my desk. It is isolated from my working desk top and it works well from there. Other people use anglepoise type arms and isolation cradles to solve this problem but my unit works for me and uses what I already have. Apart from the sound quality (though if this was not very good to start with the rest would not be valid) the multiple pick up patterns are a positive advantage. Cardioid for front of mic sources, bidirectional for face to face across the mic, stereo for left / right placement of sources, omnidirectional for round table meetings etc. Just select the pattern required using the knob at the back and 'go' - they all work well. The sensitivity of the mic(s) is adjustable via the gain control knob on the rear of the mic. This is something you'll need to test properly before serious use. Too much gain and it'll pick up everything - even things you cannot 'hear' at the time. Too little gain and you have the reverse. There is no shortcut, you have to adjust this for/in real life situations - unfortunately the Yeti cannot predict which level of sound you require and for what purpose. One element understated in the literature is the quality of the headphone playback output from the Yeti. Headphones sound great through the Yeti ... even good ones sound better. An excellent piece of equipment well suited to its purpose.

Amazing quality, surprised by how heavy it was, very robust. I get great comments on the mic quality. One customer asked what kind of bird I was keeping whilst on a video call. This was a bird outside in my garden tweeting, that is how sensitive it is. Would definitely buy again.

The Blue Microphones Yeti USB microphone in the blackout finish is a standout choice for anyone looking to achieve professional sound quality with minimal setup. Featuring three condenser capsules and four selectable polar patterns, it offers impressive flexibility for podcasting, streaming, voiceovers, music recording, and video calls. The plug-and-play USB connection works seamlessly with both PC and Mac, making it easy to get started straight out of the box. The built-in headphone output with volume control allows for real-time, latency-free monitoring, which is a huge plus for precise recordings. Solidly built and visually sleek, the Yeti feels premium and stable on the desk, while consistently delivering clear, detailed audio. Overall, it’s a reliable, all-in-one microphone that has earned its reputation as a favourite among content creators and streamers.

Este micro a pesar de los años es una pasada, lo fácil que es de utilizar y de ecualizar gracias a sus botones y al programa Logitech g hub, sumado a un precio muy competente, lo hacen un "must be" si quieres tener un micro con una calidad muy cercana a lo profesional y no quieres dejarte mucho dinero o estás empezando a crear contenido.
