Q: Is there a difference between the "Blue Microphones - Yeti Multi-Pattern Condenser USB Microphone" and the "Blue Microphones - Yeti USB Multi-Pattern Electret Condenser Microphone"?

A: Hello Josh, both models are the same microphone internally. The colors are the only difference.

Q: We need a usb plug in mic for our new Covid reality where we have ten staff gathered together in one room and another 10 on Zoom. Will this mic work well in picking up all 10 folks in the room as we communicate with the other 10 over Zoom?

A: Hello, the Yeti will work great in your situation! Be sure you set it to "Omnidirectional" mode and place it in the middle of your room/table. It will pick up sound from all around.

Q: Is there a way to connect this to a turntable? Also is there a place to plug in headphones to listen to your Audio from the device?

A: Hello Luigi. The Yeti is a USB microphone that will need to be plugged into a computer for power and audio software. I do not believe it will be able to be used with a turntable. There is a 3.5mm headphone out on the microphone where you can monitor your own audio and the audio from the computer.

Q: Is this mic compatible with a HP Windows 10?

A: Hello, the Yeti will work with your Windows 10 PC. Just plug in the USB cable and you're good to go!

Q: Does this include the USB cable ?

A: Yes.

Excellent, solid
There's a reason many YouTubers use these high quality microphones; they capture audio very well and won't tip over. By the way, the microphone is detachable from its base for mounting on an arm.

This mic is amazing
Best USB Microphone ever! OK, sounds repetitive. But it is true. While podcasting would be fun, one overlooked use is for dictation. I use Dragon on my Mac. I have spent over $1,000 fruitlessly on microphones from Samson, Phillips SpeechMike, Plantronics, and many others. NONE of them are consistent. I have decided the microphone quality is generally quite poor, as is noise rejection. They are generally poorly directional, having immense shifts in frequency response depending how off axis you are. This radically affects recognition with even a few degrees off axis speech. The Yeti, on the other hand, is a very high fidelity microphone, it has tunable directionality, and maintains balance when even significantly off axis. I set it on my desk and can dictate with the best fidelity and accuracy I have ever experienced with Dragon. Dragon now is actually useful. And...it looks way cool on my desk!

Not my happiest ending so far...
I love my Yeti Microphone, but it's already broken!!! The place where the usb cord plugs in has become loose, and it loses connection while I'm using it! It's so disappointing! STill, it is the best sounding microphone I've ever used. It just plugged into my HP laptop and bam, I sounded good ( and usually I don't sound that good )... I'm looking forward to fixing it or trading it in on another one. I still recommend it. If you're looking for a podcast mic, anything might work, but if you want to do music, too, check out the Yeti...
