Pro mic; needs noise cancelling; small REC audio
This mic was bought under the pretense I would do allot of vocal recording. Meh. The voice recordings do sound a bit...hollow? dull? My old mic that I got with my soundcard gave a richer, fuller sound to my audio recordings. As i stands I've had this mic since June 2022, and it still performs very well. It is very heavy and sturdy, and having a heavy base. It is more than I need. However, the Blue Yeti X Professional mic does work well, with some gripes. 1) I do wish the PATTERNS were visible on the front of the mic, instead of being behind it. I need to turn the mic around to see what pattern is selected. It would have been nice if the mic had PC software that displayed a notification every time the pattern was changed. 2) The headphone jack works well for me to hear myself during recordings. Although, during gaming, with Discord, I can only hear my voice and not the game sound from the PC. With other games, however I can hear both. 3) It does not have any noise canceling, because I can hear myself typing during gaming, which some petty gamers find annoying. Oh well. I tried all the patterns (Pattern 3 (user focus) is the one I use most) none seem to reduce the sound, although it doesn't bother me much to matter. But background noise cancellign would have been nice to have, like a toggle button? I did hear some background noise (popping, hissing?) while doing the sound test within Steam. This mic was designed for pod cast use, but I record audio for videos. The sound can be remixed to sound fuller. As mentioned the recodings can sound a bit small. The size of the mic is a bit much for me, as I am used to in-ear or over-ear type mics. But, it is a professional mic and it is more than suitable for me. It pairs automatically with both my W10 PCs, both have a Intel i7 CPU. The price is steep, I will add, but for what it was designed to so - it seems adequate.

Truly great microphone for the computer
Very clear vocal that you will be pleased with. I was dreading setting up a bulky audio interface in my smaller workspace, but this usb mic has saved the day. Records as nice as mics costing much more, and it has simple controls that allow you to do everything you could want. I’d recommend to anyone who is getting more serious about voice capture.

Love this microphone!
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.

Great Mic! But, Not Perfect
Pros: Solid construction, Great Voice pickup, Nice LED function for input Gain level visual, Plug and Play out of the box Cons: Out of the box the clarity is flat and a bit muffled. Need Logitec G Hub (free to download) to adjust equalizer and to make this mic really shine. Mic picks up everything! even on cardioid pattern. Especially if using the stock stand on your desk (vibrations, keyboard clicks, bumping the desk). Need a Boom Arm Stand in order to reduce/eliminate this annoyance. -Boom Arm add on is a must (I suggest Elgato boom arm regular not the low profile) if you play Mouse and keyboard. -This mic is huge, obstructs view if placed on desk. and picks up key clicking like crazy even on lowest gain. basically, biggest pet peeve is requires additional purchase/tweaks to get ideal set up for steaming/podcasting Overall: I would recommend this to anyone doing basic podcasts and ASMR stuff (stereo function). solid mic, but has its pet peeves. I will personally most likely go with Shure SM7B for what Im looking for but that is going to be pro level and costly. So stick to this as your option if you want high quality to intermediate mic.

I've been using this microphone for over a year now and love it. The quality is unmatched to any other microphone setup. This edition to my setup elevated my zoom presence help me start my podcast up. For a USB microphone, it's going to be the best one on the market I think. I wish the stock set up came with a boom arm setup and a pop filter, but I bought a boom arm and pop filter set on Amazon for pretty cheap. If you set the stand on a desk, the microphone is very pick up all the vibrations from your hand and your keyboard hitting your desk. So a boom arm that isn't attached to the desk That's what I would recommend. I attached a photo of how I did it. Definitely watch videos about how to talk into it properly. I think speaking technique is arguably more important than the equipment used to filter the voice. It has four modes to choose from as far as how your voice comes into it. I really only use one mode which ignores everything behind the microphone. I do have a really loud mechanical keyboard that people can hear on the microphone if I do not mute it. So it does pick that stuff up unless you have software that dampens background sound or keyboard clicks. Overall, this microphone is awesome. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to up their microphone game and not want to get into XLR microphones. Definitely a great USB microphone. Oh, and I have used this microphone on Windows, Mac, and Linux. I hope this was helpful to anyone looking at this microphone
