Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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 My only real gripe is the outdated USB connection.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.

Cannot compete for the price! Easy to setup, only one massive complaint. This mic should include a USB-C dongle at this point everyone with a newer laptop, Mac, or tablet will scream in frustration when they realize they will need to get an additional item.

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 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.

The mic is so clear and cuts out much noise. I love it!

Great microphone, easy to use, great sound quality. Can be used for multitude of uses, including narration, interviews or recording music. Quality manufacturing, great price.

This is definitely a bang for your buck mic. Quality, built and versatility. This is the mic you should get especially at its price point, I think its the best there is out there.

This mic works perfectly! I took it out of the box and skimmed the manual then plugged it in! I was recording 10 minutes after opening. I love LOVE the sound quality and the easy to understand set up/recording. Such a great mix for those who are just starting out in the recording area or for those constantly on the go. Good for anything from podcasts to concerts. This mic offers different sound settings so you can optimize whatever sound you're wanting to capture. I have had zero problems with this product so far. (I've had it for about 4 months now) I would recommend getting the warranty and a hard case if you're using it during travels.

Good voice. I love it. Definitely worth the money.

As a hobbyist singer, I did not want to invest too much into recording hardware. After reading several reviews of many different types of microphones that were PC compatible that could run without additional hardware, I decided to try this Yeti and have fell in love with it. There are three different recording settings for Solo (front), Duet (front and back), and Band (360 degree) recording that gauge which direction(s) to record the sound for the best input quality. It also gauges the gain of input directly on the mic. With the port to plugin headphones directly into the mic allows for almost absolutely no lag in live playback where as many of the mics that I looked into purchasing relied on the recording software which could cause a noticeable lag in live playback. The recording sound quality is fantastic, more that I would have expected from a less than $150 microphone. If you are looking to purchase this mic, I do suggest going to Blue's (the manufacturer) site to learn more on the functions of this mic, they do an excellent job laying out and explaining everything about this product. I am 100% happy with this mic and would recommend this to anyone.

This microphone is amazing and was on sale! The sound is so clear and the options are great to have for what you need it for. I ended up getting an elgato boom arm and it was perfect! Highly recommend!

Bought it for my Child and Loves it. For the price, this microphone is very good. The quality of the sound and the features make it easy to use and affordable.

I was looking for a high quality USB mic that would work with my iMac and MacBook. The Yeti was receiving excellent reviews, so I decided to buy one. I play fingerstyle acoustic guitar and needed a high quality mic for recording instrumentals/videos. The Yeti is plug & play and connected to my Mac very easily. Recording videos using the Yeti produces excellent sound. It also works well with other apps such as FaceTime and Skype.

Great affordable microphone for podcasting! Sound isolation, filter and quality is fantastic, especially for the price. Easy to set up and really appreciate the USB plug and play ability.

This mic was the perfect fit for my home studio. I make homemade instructional videos for guitar and bass guitar and this mic has been the right tool for the job. I plug it into my computer, place the mic in the right position (location and sound source selection) and it does the rest while recording. I highly recommend this mic for anyone else out there interested in doing the same sort of thing that I do. It's inexpensive, highly dependable and captures great sound (for digital anyway)...

I am SO HAPPY with my purchase of my BRAND (SPANKING) NEW "BLUE YETI" microphone! The SOUND QUALITY is AMAZING... and the VERSATILITY is MIND-BLOWING! I'm using it for recording interviews, live trainings, private coaching sessions, podcasts, creating my own audio books & courses, recording my original acoustic guitar instrumentals, songs, jamm sessions, and more ~ ~ ~ It's like getting FOUR AWESOME MICROPHONES for the PRICE OF ONE! Oh -- And My sales representative at BEST BUY was SUPER HELPFUL (and REMARKABLY KNOWLEDGEABLE) as well! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!

Excellent mic for the price very easy to use and I’ve paired it with a rode boom arm

Clear studio sound for streaming. Easy to install. Structure is sturdy and doesn’t tip over.
