Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this mic to replace my snowball. Picked the Yeti because of the looks which did not disappoint. Just beautiful on the desk.

Recommend this to anyone , my nephew is 12 years old using this for a month and loves it .

DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! This Best Buy location is downright RACIST!!! The way I was treated as a black man was rooted in deep discrimination. The customer service here is deplorable. This is the most rude & unprofessional Best Buy I have ever shopped at in the 30 years I have been a Best Buy customer!!! The “supervisor” Jesus & the manager “Ajay” were extremely rude to me over a $100 return! I purchased it less than 30 days ago and they refused to return it. I told them I had been battling Covid for the past couple of weeks and was unable to come in and return within 15 days and was told “oh well” . They then proceeded to scam me and sell me a $50 membership that “allows” 60 day return policy. They said they would “lie” and say they forgot to put it on there the day I purchased the microphone so that they could process the return. This is unethical and clearly against their policy, but somehow they have no problem breaking the policies when it is convenient for them. Why would I give you $50 to take back a $100 return? That is preposterous & an unethical proposition. I have never in my life been so insulted & disrespected. I have been shopping at Best Buy my ENTIRE life and now I can no longer support a company that discriminates & encourages unethical practices when it’s convenient for them. I am appalled that Best Buy would promote such scammers to these positions. They then blame it on “the system” , “the system” doesn’t allow it. I know for a fact that this is false. If it’s one thing I hate more, it’s being lied to as if this is my first time at the rodeo. If I could rate 0 stars I would.

Works great and lover the kinda retro style. Would recomend to anyone!

Works great. It performs as expected with no flaws as of this post

I have a youtube channel that I can sponsor this..

I had done loads of research for a microphone. I had come to the conclusion that the Yeti is the best microphone for the price. So I walk into the store and pick it up like normal. I go home and plug it in, my computer recognizes it but I can't seem to get it to pick up any audio. I had read the entire manual front to back before I even unboxed from online. Then I plug it in to my other computers and it still doesn't work (yes I know it comes muted out of the box). Then I install the drivers and it picks up the audio, but I listen to it and it is super TERRIBLE. It had so much white noise and it made everything sound distorted. Maybe I just got a defunct one. I think it has something to do with windows 10. Also it was super heavy! You should save your money by getting a Samson Meteor, much more reliable, has better audio quality and the best part at least half the size of the yeti.

he loves it and i hadn't heard any complaints yet.

I have returned this item 3 times in 1 year. Just in th 1st 2 months, i had to use the BestBuy Warranty i keep purchasing. If I dont buy the warranty, I'd have to send the item back to the company. Eventually if the cable doesn't break, you lose connection and eventually your PC will not recognize anymore. I purchased for my son and he is always careful since it seems to mess up frequently. Great when it works but lasts less than a year. That's not worth it. 2 stars dye to it being an excellent mic when you first purchase.

Only problem is I have to already be recording before we plug in the microphone. Otherwise the sound won't work. Love the Blue Color!

Not the best, microphone picks up other noises and sounds crackly

USB 3.0 cord started to break at the end, great mic!

Really good mic but i have been having problems with it like it not connecting.

I heard a great deal of hype about how great the Blue Yeti was so I decided to purchase one for my live streams. For the first few months it worked great. With that being said, there is a knob on the back of the mic that you use to adjust your mic patterns and mine was very difficult and scratchy when I tried to adjust it. One day I was adjusting the pattern and the mic died an never worked again. If I had a chance to purchase a different mic, I would probably still purchase the Yeti but hope that their quality controls were a little better on the next one. It truly was an excellent mic while it worked. I am considering purchasing another since my Yeti replacement mic is just not as clear.

Mine stopped working after 8 months and that was 8 months of it just sitting there and not even being moved. I have tried to get a hold of the company because they have 2 year warrenty but havent been able to get a message back. I will hold out a little longer but I have a completely different brand mic already picked out in case they just ignore my email and case.

Don’t buy this mic. The actual sound quality is good, but the designers decided to put the connection on the bottom meaning it’s constantly under strain. Within a year most users start having problems with it coming undone internally. Very frustrating design and not worth the $100 price tag

Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone - Silver has two awful design flaws--rendering it un-purchasable. -- Photo of the defect attached. 1. Because of the swivel-base, and the fact that the USB cable is at the base of the mic, means the USB cable will always be in tension, pulling at the connector. And, inadvertanly swiveling it too far, in one direction, also results in tension in the USB connection. 2. The USB Connector is very poorly connected to the internal board, which means that it is highly probable that any wayward tug on the USB cable will disconnect the pin-out connector from the board. 3. In my case, not only did the USB connector become detached, one of the pins-connectors on the board completely came off within the silver casing, and I was never able to find it, to attempt a repair. Without help from Blue Microphones, at 818-879-5200, I ended up tossing the mic in the garbage. Do not buy this mic. Perhaps some day they will at least remove the cross bar blocking travel of the USB cable -- until then do not buy this mic.

The mounting hole on the bottom of the silver Yeti I purchased in 2016 is slightly bigger than the 5/8 inch industry standard adapter screw that comes with a boom stand. I did not realize this until I recently decided to start podcasting and ordered a microphone stand that was supposed to be compatible with this Yeti. Through googling I have discovered this is a problem people are talking about on Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, etc. there is apparently no screw adapter that fits my defective Yeti. Based on what I have read about Blue’s customer service, I am not hopeful that they will make it right.

Good product! …would probably buy it again………………….

As just a mic, it seems okay. Not exceptional, but does it's job. The details, however, are where it fails. The Gain and Volume knobs wiggle like they are about to come off in your hand, and the mute button works only about once every 5 presses. This would be bad enough, however, all three make a noice hitting the side of the mic housing, which can be heard in the recording. So, instead of mute, you get CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, then mute. Being unreliable to mute may be okay in a Twitch stream, but for doing voice over or anything of that nature, it can quickly kill a track. The Mic also has a weird issue where the provided USB cable will hit the provided stand if you attempt to angle the mic too far.
