REAL REVIEW
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I have now had this for a couple weeks, firstly the price was amazing I think I paid just under a $100 after tax and I consider $80 just under. It has a full gain knob and volume for your headset. It has an aux for your headset to hear yourself speak. My favorite thing is its flexibility. There are 4 option for mic recording on it. Idk the names but 1 is single person up close basically 2 is like background capture for people and noises in the background 3 is multiple people up close from all direction and 4 is like two people sitting across from each other. That blew my mind when I heard it actually working. The quality of audio is also very clear.

Excellent Sound Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of this mic is impeccable, however it picks up literally everything. If you are looking to use this as a microphone for your computer to stream or do anything other than have short conversations or voice commands then a boom arm is mandatory. The stand it comes with picks up every tap, touch, bump, mouse click, or keyboard stroke that you make. I turned the mic onto cardiod and the gain all the way down and it still picks up my mouse clicks. I have gotten it down to a minimum with some third party programs, but it is still there. This microphone is excellent for recording your voice or sounds that you need for editing, however it might pick up more than you would like.

Amazing Product!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has to be the best microphone for the money I’ve ever purchased. Recommend to someone who needs great quality, great sound recording functions and who is starting off with podcasting or music recording. For the price you’ll be getting the same as if you paid for another brand that’s $100 dollars more expensive. Never been more happy with a purchase. Oh and it’s the easiest SetUp you can get!

Great upgrade choice from the Yeti Snowball
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this mic after having the yeti snowball for almost 2 years. It is definitely a worthwhile upgrade. I use the mic to record audio in davinci resolve and I wanted to upgrade to something a little more versatile than the yeti snowball but not a $400 mic. As I've learned more about audio recoding the benefit of adjust the gain and pluging in headphone directly on the mic are actually useful now. You cab also adjust the audio pattern on the mic which is nice too. The sound quality is great but I wish there was a bundle that came with a pop filter. I got this $25 off because it was on sale, if it wasn't i likely would have waited a few more months to get it. If you're just starting out, a cheaper mic like the Yeti Snowball is perfect for what you need but if you're looking for an upgrade--or have the money to buy a mic that will be useful for multiple years--this mic is a great option.

BLUE YETI IS AN EXCELLENT BUY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this mic to use for recording voice for a weekly radio show. Corona virus required us to avoid the radio station that my partner and I broadcast a weekly show from. One of my bandmates had purchased the Yeti for his home recordings so I was familiar with it. Its strongest features for computer recording are its switchable polar patterns (4 patterns), input level, headphone output which allows for real time, latency free monitoring and headphone output volume level (a nice feature). From the moment I plugged it into my system I’ve found it easy to use, trouble free and great sounding. I can recommend this mic without reservations.

Great for all entry level and semi professional
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a tech enthusiast gearing up to start a YouTube channel. This was recommended to me by multiple individuals. The three condensers in this mic allow for amazing audio pickup and sensitivity. It probably wouldn't hurt to get a pop filter with this. The overall build of this is solid. This is a quality item being encased in a mix metal body. It looks sharp on the desk. However, the in box mic stand does pick up every tap on the keyboard and thumping on the desk. Other wise no complaints. I use this for voice overs, recording acoustic instruments and to make regular FaceTime, google hangouts and skype calls as well (paired with my Logitech C930e). Being that I use a Mac Pro I also receive and make phone calls using this mic. Note this can be done with any Mac with OSX Yosemite. I highly recommended this mic. Don't wait on it just jump.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between this one and the condenser one? They look the same but have a 30 dollars price difference.
Asked by eliz.
- A:Answer There 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.

Q: QuestionSo, if I have a noisy, old computer (as in, the noise of its internal fan), is there a setting or feature on this microphone that would allow be to record my voice clearly, but NOT the background noise? (The tower is behind my monitor.)
Asked by Samuel.
- A:Answer Hi 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?
Asked by Plzrespond.
- A:Answer Someone 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.

Q: QuestionDoes this work well with an Elgato? Does it work at all with one?
Asked by Brady.
- A:Answer Yes! 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.
Asked by DownHill.
- A:Answer I 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.
