Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice product, easy to use and set up. One gripe I have is that with this specific model, the port for power on this mic breaks very easily. Do not bend the cord near the port or tug very hard on it, I’ve broken so many already. Other than that, it is really easy to use.

I love this microphone. I was even able to connect it to my iPhone via lightning connector. The audio is crisp, and even can adjust to different settings to pick up audio from different areas of the room therefore giving you a new perspective.

I purchased this mic to have clear communications for the podcast that I host and it had to be the best purchase I've made for my show thus far. The mic is very simple to use, basically just plug it, select the settings depending on how you want to record and that's it. It has a head phone port for easy listening and the recordings are very clear. It does pick up background noise, but the recordings come out clear with very limited noise. Would definitely recommend this mic for anyone looking for a decent mic at a decent price.

This was very easy to install and simple to use upgrading from a headset mic to this was a good choice my voice quality has increased and the controls and alterations this microphone allow let you choose how you sound.

I bought this as a gift for my gamer son. Let me say he loves it. He likes the quality and how it was easy to use. No hassle using it or install. Best mic for a gamer with the better price.

I recently started streaming on Twitch and did an extensive search about what type of equipment popular streamers use. This mic was among the most popular and most affordable options. It is extremely easy to setup and operate and the sound quality it captures is great. The mic itself is a little bigger than I had anticipated.

I needed a decent Mic for my kids YouTube channel and after some research decided on this Blue Yeti and bought one in black on cyber Monday for a great price. Super simple to use, sounds fantastic, yeah the selector knob is a little wobbly but your probably not going to be using it constantly so really a non issue for me. This is strictly a usb Mic so don't buy it thinking you'll use it for a line mic. It's plug and play, works awesome with Garage band.

I love this microphone. its versatile, heavy, durable, and just feels over all like a quality product. If you use it correctly and use the right settings than this mic will be fine for even professional streamers. I stream on twitch and have over 20k followers and this is the microphone I choose to use! Worth every penny. Plug and play USB. No auxiliary and sound boards neccessary. Just as good as most XLR mics!!

We needed a mic for two person podcasting and single person recording for a YouTube channel. The ability to adjust the pick-up pattern makes this mic a perfect choice for people that need microphones for different purposes, but want to save some money. It sounds great, and works without any software or installation. Using a OTG usb adapter, it even works with my Android phone.

I already had one, but during the start of the pandemic when I started working from home my wife fell in love with it too. When my office opened back up she needed one for her work from home, so here we are. Great sound, reasonable price, and easy to use (I even use it on my iPad with an adapter!) The only recommendation I have is to get it off it's stand and get a pop filter. A $10-20 pop filter eliminates popping when you pronounce hard consonants and is well worth it. The other other possible problem is bumping the desk this is on while you record will produce loud sounds as well. The cheapest way to fix it is to set it on a small pillow or folded towel, but this is a bit unstable. Instead, get yourself a real mic stand (maybe even with a shock mount, but not 100% essential) and you'll be able to record without being in fear of bumping your desk the whole time. if you're on a super tight budget you can get something decent for less, but if you've got the budget for the Yeti get it - you won't regret your purchase.

A very good quality starter microphone. Comes with everything it needs to work straight out of the box and sounds decent with little editing required.

I use this microphone for FaceTime and especially for Google Voice. It is as sensitive as you want it to be. I am told that the audio quality is beyond excellent. My clients had rather her me through this than the cellphone. It is a bit large, but you do not have to be next to the mic to use it. When I am in meetings and sharing through the computer I set so that others around the table can be equally hear. It is excellent. No drivers required, just plug it in.

A very high-quality digital microphone for an amazingly low price is the Blue Yeti. I use this mic for virtual training and recording and its sensitivity is just perfect. You have three settings for the location of the speaker/performer(s) that give you even better options for good recording. The USB-A connection works on my M1-power MacBook Pro.

A great Mic. I love it. I mean I am not disappointed in any way. I live streamed and record with it as a trucker in my truck. It works great. Took me a few minutes to get used to the volume controls, but it works great, plug n play no fussing with downloading software. I play the guitar also and it comes in crystal clear. I only turn the volume just a bit like an eighth of a turn. This thing rocks. I kept the original foam packing to put it back when done. No static, crystal clear sound. I also use it with OBS for streaming, I mean I'm very happy with it. It is nice and balanced n of heavy duty weight.

I've been eyeballing this mic for a while and got it on sale at BB. Very impressed with the ease of use and especially the sound. I purchased this for my daughter to use mainly for narrating her online content but couldn't resist trying it out. I have to say it stands up with my Shure SM7B, Rode NT1 and Rode PodMIc. The mic has a great feel, sturdy and well made. Had to really crank down the knobs to hold the pitch of the mic in the stand but not a deal breaker. This mic is a solid player for a USB choice and for someone getting in the game who doesn't have a lot of cash. Honestly, I think it has a good look. If you are looking for something easy to use, great sound and quality out of the box don't think twice.

If you're a professional then you'll be pickier; however if you're just a streamer or someone who wants to play around with basic recording, I think this mic is great. The headphone plug in for real-time mic sounds through headphones works beat my expectations. The simple USB plug-and-play was also quite convenient. The stand and mic are quite large, so it's good to plan for a large space on your desk; however I am not subtracting stars because competing products are of comparable size but with less aftermarket products to mount them. The sound quality itself is excellent. There are better mics but they will cost significantly more. Do read the owner's manual, as it has a lot of pointers on using the mic and your sound quality will suffer if you pick your settings incorrectly. Additionally, note (as the owner's manual will tell you) that the microphones are actually on the *side*, not the top of the mic as you might expect. This is a rare item that I would regard as having no flaws. I even like the fit and finish, which I'm typically quite picky about (see my Arris surfboard review).

Ease of Use (5/5): One of the standout features of the Blue Yeti is its simplicity. With a USB connection, it's plug-and-play, eliminating the need for additional audio interfaces. The controls on the microphone itself are intuitive, featuring a mute button, headphone volume control, and a knob for selecting recording patterns. Compatibility (5/5): The Blue Yeti is widely compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems, making it accessible to a broad user base. Its USB connectivity makes it convenient for users who don't want to invest in additional audio equipment.

Super easy to use. Just plug it into your USB port and start broadcasting! Excellent sound quality, convenient on/off button on front and multiple patterns from cardioid to omnidirectional covers everything you need to record voice, instruments or one on one conversations. This is so much better than using the mic on your computer.

If I’m being honest, this Blue Yeti is the first in what I hope will be a long line of microphones in my collection. I’ve just started diving into the world of audio and recording—something that’s been high on my list of interests for a long time—and so far, this mic hasn’t let me down. There’s definitely a learning curve when it comes to getting things like compression, reverb, and gain just right. But honestly, it reminds me of those old TVs with all the tuning dials—you need to spend a little time fine-tuning to get that perfect result, and that’s part of the experience. My only real gripe is the outdated USB connection. I had to buy an adapter to work with my newer computer that primarily uses USB-C. For a mic that still holds its place in modern setups, I expected a more current connection standard. That said, performance-wise? No complaints. It delivers exactly what I hoped for, and I’m excited to keep learning and improving with it.

The Yeti microphones are an absolute joy to have in our studio. They really enhance the level of sound on our videos. However, they are rather large. The setup is easy enough, and the instructions have words and pictures (helpful for some folks that seemingly can't read). If you follow the pictures, you're golden. I bought two of these thinking I would need more than one for the setup we chose. We didn't. We just needed one, based on the mode that allows one microphone for two people having an interview. Great product all around, just wish it was a little lighter.
