Blue Microphones - Yeti X Professional Wired Multi-Pattern Condenser USB Microphone

Whenever I game people are literally in love with how I sound. Even my podcast has people asking about my mic and how amazing I sound. Thank you

I havent been able to play WoW in a few years, but I started a month after the original launch. I needed a mic for a podcast I'm going to be in, so I jumped on this one. My new MacBook won't open the software, maybe because I have to use a usb-c adapter to plug the mic in, as it has a traditional USB output? Hopefully its fine, as I have an HP coming in a few weeks and I can just use that. The product box came banged up, but the other box and everything else shipped with it was fine, so it came from the warehouse like that? The mic was fine, though. This thing is like a paperweight, and I love it! Love all the WoW branding, too. Alliance, ftw!

Honestly I did not buy this because of the whole "World of Warcraft" theme (I never even played it) but I really love the color scheme which was one of the reasons why I chose this. The "WoW" was just a bonus. **Pun intended** Anyways, I did many research on the Yeti X and many others of the Blue Mic line from Logitech and heard nothing but pretty good reviews on each of them. My first impression when I unboxed it was "WOW, this is huge." ***again with the pun*** After I hooked it up and started up the G Hub, it was quite easy to find my around. The sound picked up really well in all modes and the clarity to be heard on the receiving end was amazing. The extra gimmicks within the G Hub that came with this WoW edition was also a fun tool to use especially if I wanted to mess with people during my ZOOM meetings with the voice changer. On a side note...My daughter loves to sing using it as well especially using the Demon voice changer from one of the WoW characters..lol..anyways, The Yeti X is a great mic to have for those who stream or Podcast. If you don't care for WoW then the regular Yeti X would do just fine plus its $30 cheaper for the exact same microphone. But if you're a big WoW fan or if you're like me and just like the whole look of it and you have $200 to spend, then by all means go for it. Which ever one you choose you'll get the same result in clarity and functionality.

As a Gamer/WoW fan and someone trying to improve my personal mic reception, this is defiantly a nice little purchase for me. I love the design and how easy it is to use, plus with the voice modulator program, I've been having a blast playing with my voice. For any WoW fan, I would say 10/10! Would recommend.

Love this mic! I recently upgraded my old yeti I had and this voice change is fun and great if your streaming. Great quality.

Mic arrived today and I tested it out right away. I'm a female gamer who plays a male demon hunter for a main and I wanted to really get in character while playing. The male demon voice is just ok, not really true to form but it's def demonish. I was told I sounded like a drag queen which has me less than thrilled. Mic is made of solid metal which is rare these days and nice. Feels solid and it's nice to look at. Color isn't bad and the gold accents are a nice touch. Item arrived in a ripped and opened box which I am not happy about after paying $213 for it. Considering returning it.

After unboxing and plugging in this solidly constructed and super high quality state-of-the-art flagship professional USB microphone, I came away incredibly impressed and knew i was in for something special. I was right!! I admit my expectations for consumer grade USB mic were far below that of a studio snob. I was surprised to see it out perform all but the most expensive XLR mics I use in the studio even when run through outboard Yamaha MG06x mixing console (save for dedicated guitar cabinet recording with expensive ribbon mics w/ Shure SM-57 combo rigs). This thing is only a few dollars more than the standard edition, but offers exquisite craftsmanship, and impeccable quality, all from the convenience of USB making for a portable podcasting station, grab your laptop, this WoW YETI mic (and USB-C —> USB adapter dongle) and you’re good to go. It comes in really handy too in this world of Zoom calls and classes. Zoom commenters seem to immediately comment my voice sounds “professional like a studio podcast” (even in an acoustical untreated room). As a bonus, Logitech G-Hub software allows for fun voice modulation of various WoW characters, LED custom configurations, etc. PROS ———- + superb build quality + exquisite craftsmanship + detailed relics and runes + attention to subtle details + amazingly high tech visually + sound quality on par w/ XLR mics + high-res LED voice monitoring + 4 microphone capsules + 4 pickup patterns (back button) - Cardiod - Omni - bi-directional - Stereo + sound sample streaming and recording + Logitech G-HUB multiple vocal effects CONS ———— -odd behavior on Mac, Little Snitch identified G-Hub sending data 24/7 -legacy USB micro connectivity limits usage with some USB-C devices -Logitech G-Hub can be a tad bit finicky at times (could be my machine) -personally I love the size, but some may feel it slightly on the large side CONCLUSION ———————— Not having been a WoW Fanatic like many of my friends, I wasn’t t sure how game specific this model was, or how good it performed in general purpose. I’m pleased to inform you that this USB mic is the real deal, and by far the BEST YETI YET. Recommended a definite Best Buy !

First things first: The Yeti X WoW Edition mic is stunning. From the gold-black trim, official WoW logo, and base, to the graphene color arm and mic finish, it simply oozes class. The runes etched on the base and the volume rocker totally satisfied my inner WoW geek! It feels more like a prop to display with pride -like a well-earned trophy. The build quality is not too shabby either. It is made of full metal, so it is quite heavy coming in at a little below 3 lbs. This makes the mic stand very stable, which is especially good if you are like me and knock the table often. I appreciate that there is some felt material on the base so that it does not scratch the desk. The arm knobs and swivel stay in place and the mic can be easily placed on a mic boom-arm. I feel that this mic will last for an exceptionally long time. The mic is connected via Micro-USB to USB. Personally, I would have liked to have a USB-C option so that I may be able to take it on the go with my laptop when I do studio work. Not a big deal, but worth a mention. Setting it up is simple: just plug it in and the PC will automatically recognize it. The mic features a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom to add optional wired headphones. The front knob controls headphone volume, mic gain, and muting. I have to say that the RGB runes look so cool when using it or when the voice levels move. This is very useful when adjusting peak volumes on the fly during a recording or broadcast. On the back, there is a button that changes the pattern (cardioid, omni, bidirectional, and stereo). But how does it perform? I am happy to say that it certainly did not disappoint. The quality of the sound it records is pristine. I recorded several samples at different directions and distances and the default setting (cardioid) picked up everything clearly and loud. I also tried with some background noise and again my voice was well recorded by the four-capsule array. I tried the other patterns and, while I will not really make use of them often, worked well -especially the bidirectional setting. Now, I will heavily recommend downloading (if you haven’t already) Logitech’s G HUB software. This opens up a world (no pun intended) of options to customize your mic experience. There, you can change the RGB lighting, microphone gains, headphone gains, equalizing, and, voice modulation. There are a bunch of presets to choose from. I appreciated the fact that I can adjust the bass so that my own voice doesn’t sound so chipmunk-like. One of the main features of the WoW edition is the voice effects. I had a lot of fun changing my voice from an Orc, to a Gnome, to a multi-personality entity. Now, this may be a bit gimmicky, I know, but I found it fun, nonetheless. In the end, I am really impressed by this Yeti X WoW edition from Blue. The build quality, geeky design, features, and software integration makes it easy to recommend -especially if you stream, record professionally, conference, or simply go on raids with your Guild, in the voice of your toon of choice.
