Pro mic; needs noise cancelling; small REC audio
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great mic if you take time to tweak it via G Hub
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: -If you tweak the settings (especially the gain level) via G Hub, this mic captures voice/sound amazingly -sturdy build quality -futuristic yet classy look to it -for a USB mic, the sound quality comes very close to the quality of an XLR mic Cons: -Doesn't come with a pop filter, I suggest you get one for this mic -This is just my experience but this mic did NOT sound great out of the box. You need to customize the settings to cater to YOUR voice -The EQ settings take patience w/experimentation and tinkering till you get that "sweet spot" -For some reason, this mic has the presets in G Hub with the gain level set way too high -pricey, this should be around the $129.99 range, not $169.99 -lastly, if you intend to use a boom arm with a shock mount, the two mounting holes on the sides are exposed. Very awful looking but you eventually get used to it. Bottom Line: This is an intermediate level mic. It takes some tinkering and patience with the EQ settings via G Hub (you have to download this) to make it shine. In my experience, this mic sounded really flat and awful out of the box. Thank goodness the EQ via G Hub gives you the power to customize the mic to cater to YOUR voice :-)

An excellent multipurpose choice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microphone is the best I’ve had the pleasure to own. The sound quality for both voice and instrument recording is top notch. I was completely taken aback by the sound quality, even without pop filters and sound absorption; it wasn’t harsh on p-t sounds and the guitar sounded warm and balanced. I loved its multiple modes for picking up sound; the ability to change how sound is picked up is a versatile tool for multiple put together. I highly recommend this sound peripheral in general; no matter the function you’re looking for, this mic is up to the task!

The Ultimate Streaming Mic!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new and improved Yeti X is the ultimate mic for gamers, streamers and podcasters. The audio quality is amazing and the personalization effects for lighting are a nice feature. It does come with the blue software via Logitech’s G Hub that has powerful EQ pre settings and manual settings to perfectly tune your voice. I personally am just running it without the EQ software and my viewers love the sound and quality, if you need a new mic or need an upgrade this is the one.

1 year review
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Use for YouTube crafting videos
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio sounds great. My voice is clear and concise. There’s a big difference on the sound from my latest YouTube videos I posted on channel Nhia Lee. It’s worth the money for me. The pictures show the mic in the corner.

Q: QuestionCould we plug this up to my PS5 and use this as my mic?
Asked by Kobi.
- A:Answer Follow-up question: The solution described, will it work even if my headset is a USB-headset (SteelSeries Arctis 7p)? In other words two separate USB devices as input and output.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between this Yeti X Professional and the lower priced yeti 10 year anniversary version ?
Asked by Drew.
- A:Answer The Yeti X is the step up from the Yeti. The Yeti X has 4 condenser capsules instead of the 3 and 24-bit Bit Depth compared to the Yeti's 16-bit. Basically meaning the Yeti X is going to pick up your voice better and make it sounds better. The Yeti X also has customizable led lights on the front, led light monitoring for your gain, and Blue Voice effects in G Hub.

Q: Questionas long as the mic is plugged into my pc could i hear feedback from the mic on a pair of wireless headphones?
Asked by anonymous.
- A:Answer I tried a similar setup. Used the mic as the sound input and routed the output to my AirPods. I didn't receive any feedback using this setup, however, this is a slight delay between you speaking and the monitored sound coming through the headphones, so keep that in mind if you don't plan on fading the sound all the way out for the monitor.

Q: QuestionDoes the Blue Yeti X Professional Condenser USB Microphone work with both a PC and Mac, Windows? What wouldn't it work with?
Asked by Charlie.
- A:Answer I have used this mic with both PC and Mac. The only issue I encountered was my Mac only has USB-c/Thunderbolt ports. I just used a USB-A to USB-C adapter, and it works fine.

Q: QuestionWould this work for instruments such as a saxophone for on line lessons?
Asked by Joe.
- A:Answer My wife uses it for teaching her violin studio students. There are adjustments that can be made for gain (how sensitive the mic is / picks up sound) as well as volume for the headphone jack located at the bottom of the mic. You should be able to make it work for saxophone.

Q: QuestionCan I purchase a boom stand for this mic? I want the option of using the tabletop stand OR a boom arm.
Asked by Brooke.
- A:Answer yes you can, there are threads on the bottom of the device for such an endeavor. However, keep in mind that this mic is designed so that the sound comes at it from the side and not from the top, so pick the appropriate boom.

Q: QuestionIs there a way to plug this microphone into a phone? or does it only work on laptop? Also, if it does plug into a phone in any way, is there any external items I would need to purchase, or does it all come prepared? Is it worth the extra 40$???
Asked by RosyCGaming.
- A:Answer Hello RosyCGaming! It is possible to use a Yeti X Professional Condenser USB Microphone with a mobile phone yes, but you will need a separate adapter to do so, and the adapter will depend on what phone you're using. So in example, to use your Yeti X on an iPhone with a Lightning port, you'd need the Apple Lighting-to-USB Camera Adapter here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter-white/7006933.p?skuId=7006933 To use your Yeti X with an Android with a USB-C port, there are a few more options, but something like this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/platinum-usb-a-to-usb-c-adapter-usb-3-0-spec-gray/6363182.p?skuId=6363182 would do.
