Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best parts is how easy it is to tune. You’ve got all your main controls—like gain and different pickup patterns—right on the mic itself, so you can adjust your sound on the fly without digging through annoying software menus. It’s a bit of a desk hog because of that size, but the plug-and-play simplicity makes it worth the space.

This microphone produces nice high quality audio, but it is very very sensitive. It will pick up every sound within a mile. Takes a lot of tweaking and trial and error to find a nice volume setting where your voice or instrument records nicely without picking up much background noise. Has 4 recording settings for recording 1 person in front of the mic, one for 2 people on each side of the mic, a setting for all around the mic, and a stereo setting. You can plug in headphones and listen to the audio in real time, such a nice feature. Definitely the best USB microphone I have used, but leaves a slight white noise hissing in the background of everything I record. Audio editing software usually removes it with ease with a noise removal plugin. Has a bit of weight to it, so using it with a cheaper mic stand may cause it to fall, so I recommend a decent more expensive mic stand if You prefer to use a different stand than the included one.

This microphone is sturdy, aesthetically pleasing and built like a tank. you simply cannot damage this thing internally and makes it a very safe and affordable option for anyone. If i were you, download voice meter and an equalizer of your choice to boost your audio quality even more. This microphone with good software skills can sound like a 500 dollar professional studio one. The 4 different pattern modes can be very useful for different scenarios but i tend to go for cardioid mode since i game and record. Very pleased with the product and easy to use with no sacrifice in quality. If you are questioning buying this mic for a condenser mic, the hassle of setting up all the parts and cost for one of those personally isnt worth the trip.

I needed a better microphone than the snowball to record voice overs in my home studio and this ridiculously low priced mic is capable of professional-quality results. It is instantly recognized by windows and most recording software.

The Blue Yeti in Blackout is an incredible piece of gear. The sound quality is professional and crystal clear, making it perfect for podcasting and streaming. I love the four different pickup patterns; they offer amazing versatility for any recording situation. The build is rock-solid, and the sleek black finish looks fantastic on my desk. It’s truly plug-and-play, saving me so much setup time. Highly recommended for any content creator!

cant get better than this. loved this mic for its quality and ease of use. It is a bit big, but the quality for the price is fantastic

At this price point the microphone is an outstanding buy. It really produces quality recordings. It isn't the easiest mic to work with but that's in the design, not the function, plug and play, can't go wrong there. However, it is heavy, bulky, and the dials are hard to turn. That being said, try to find a different mic that can produce this quality under $200, Bands on a budget will not be disappointed in this mic.

Great sound, solid build. My only complaint might be that it's a bit bigger and heavier than I expected and comes with no pop/wind screen filter. That would be a nice and cheap extra. The headphone option is a nice plus as are the adjustable microphone pickup patterns available with the flick of a switch.

I'm blown away by the sound quality of this Mic. It is truly a professional grade Mic with the convenience of USB connection. I purchased this to do voice-overs for e-presentations. It performed beyond expectations. The equipment is very easy to use and set up, the mute and gain controls are convenient, and the 3.2mm jack is convenient to plug in my headset directly. I used a pop filter, which easily accommodated the stand's design. The different mic settings make it perfect to easily choose the right pickup style for the scenario. This Mic is perfect for you-tubers, those doing voice-overs, or even live streaming interviews. Don't bother with the Snowball, this is worth the price difference even if your just starting out with high quality sound recording.

Plug and play on my MacBook. USB mic good for speech, recording singing and instruments in light of the price. It has a solid, heavy build that gives it professional feel. I use it with AUDACITY audio application and for voiceover for videos. Not tried it yet with other apps like GARAGE BAND, but I don't foresee any problems. It is worth reading brief instructions so you know what settings to use based on what you want to record.

The Blue Yeti Professional Multi-Pattern USB Microphone delivers excellent sound quality and versatility. The multiple pickup patterns make it perfect for streaming, podcasts, and recording music. Easy to set up and very reliable

We bought this for my wife's podcasting. I am used to using mics and using some kind of interface to get the sound into the computer, but it would have too much trouble for her. I have other Blue microphones that I like so I bought this one. Very easy to use. Plug it in, go to the sound settings, choose it. and it worked! I showed her how to use it in 2 minutes. Sound was very good quality, I liked the headphone jack and sound controls on the mic. Also the various pickup patterns will be useful as I intend to use this for some location recording. Nice product.

I bought this microphone for my wife to use in her online webinars and classes. This mic is excellent for her and has greatly improved the audio quality of her sessions. She is amazed at the added quality, especially when she reviews the recordings. We have tried all of the different patterns, based on the type of session she is doing, and it works great across the board. There are better microphones out there, but for the price, this one gives the best bang for the buck. We definitely recommend this microphone! It is a great bargain.

The mic quality is fantastic, but it's really big. I get a lot of compliments on my mic quality now. The problem is that if you don't have a mic arm stand, it sits on your desk at a height that would block part of my screen if I didn't have it off to the side. I use this mic for gaming and chatting with friends on discord.

This is a pretty good mic. We use it for vocal lessions via an online medium and so far we haven't got any complaints from any teachers. It is easy to connect via USB port and straightforward to setup. The only downside is its a pretty big mic, and the base is quite heavy. It may not be the most pleasant for frequent travellers carrying this around.

I needed a mic to use to narrate online training classes. This was the best mic that I could find locally, and I was in a rush to meet a work deadline. All in all I am happy with the quality of the mic. I have not had a problem with "pops", even without a pop guard. There is a setting on the mic that supposedly isolates the mic to pick up sound only from the front of the mic. I wish this worked better. Even with the Gain set very low, it picks up background noise, like the sound of the air coming through the air duct in the wall, and the CPU's fan, even though both of those sound sources are behind the mic. It worked flawlessly with my Mac, and setup was very easy. The instructions that came with it are thorough and useful, and the associate at the Best Buy store who helped me was terrific.

This microphone has every aspect you need for excellent quality of sound it has background block and you can feel every breath you take and every sound with perfect motion excellent choice for podcast and discord server if you want to become a gamer you definitely need this.

Sound is crisp and clear. I also use this mic to record my guitar playing and singing. My only gripe is that the charging port on the mic can get loose if you are too rough with the cord. Mine broke after a year of use (this is my second purchase).

I mean its pretty good my orginal one i gave to a producer who really liked it for his projects i use it for gaming and talking to friends here and there ill ether get complaints of me sounding far or it sounds like im yelling when i get close to it those are mostly complaints from randoms tho everyone who i usally talk to says it sounds great
