- A: AnswerThere are two versions of the Yeti. This one, which has an MSRP of about $139, and the professional model, which has an MSRP of about $249, so I'm not sure which one you're talking about that's only $30 more. Perhaps that's the one which comes with the Assasin's Creed bundle? If so, they are the exact same microphone. The more expensive version has an XLR microphone connection at the very bottom, which allows you to connect to a sound board or pre-amp, like what recording studios use. It bypasses the USB input in this case, and allows the higher end sound equipment to do the analog to digital conversion, rather than the USB input. Additionally, the more expensive mic allows for 192khz/24-bit recording, which is DVD quality. This one is 48knz/16bit, which is only CD quality. Of course, what you're pumping the signal into, is going to have an impact on your final product too, so just because one buys the higher priced mic, doesn't mean they're going to have a better quality recording. Hope that helps explain things a little better because I'm not 100% what mics you were comparing.

- A: AnswerHi Samuel. I don't want to lead you the wrong way on this, so I'm weary to say an outright "yes". However, there is a volume-in control that allows you to change the amount of pickup. You can basically set it to a scale of "everything in your house" to "just your voice". The lower you set it, the more your voice sounds like that of a person on a radio... you'll have to get closer to the mic, etc. I was really surprised by how easy this plug in play mic was. It really works great. That said, when I'm recording, I ensure that my central air is off and try to make everything as quite as possible, but it really depends what you're doing with it. Final Answer: Try it out - you can always return it if it doesn't work out. Good luck!

Q: QuestionDoes it come with a USB?(6 answers)
A: AnswerSomeone said this is a micro-USB port. That is NOT correct. The cable, which comes with the Blue Yeti is a mini-USB to USB A cable. That's the small one that is a bit taller than the one that most Android devices use these days, and are not interchangeable.Answered by robertjm

A: AnswerHello Jack, although the Yeti was built and designed for computer use, it will work with Xbox. You'll just have to follow a specific process in order to get it working with your Xbox.

Q: QuestionDoes this work well with an Elgato? Does it work at all with one?(5 answers)
A: AnswerYes! I have had an ElGato HD60 and ElGato HD60S. Worked perfectly with both of those capture cards along with streamlabs Obs, Obs and also XSplit :)Answered by Nikki
Q: QuestionWhat do you use to plug this microphone into so you can listen to your playback.(2 answers)
A: AnswerI plug in a headphone jack on the bottom and listen on my headphones. I also have a splitter for up to 4 additional jacks. Otherwise any speakers connected to your computer should work just make sure your mic is muted or you aren't actively listening so that you don't have feedback from the mic hearing itself.Answered by Cypherlytics
