Customer Ratings & Reviews

I design and create eLearning from my home office and need a good microphone for recording narrations. The Yeti Blue meets all of my needs. It is plug and play with usb and simple to use with Audacity software. I would recommend that you get a pop filter to use with it. My only complaint is with shipping. They put the Yeti box (about 12” x 6” x 6”) in a shipping box way too large (24” x 18” x 18) with just a couple of air pillows. The box had gotten smashed in and the mic box was sliding around in the oversized box. Thankfully the mic wasn’t damaged, but only because Yeti had it packed well. Best Buy, remember, use the right tool (or in this case box) for the right job!

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.

This mic has been a godsend during this pandemic lockdown. I'm an opera singer, and needed an external mic to record vocals, videos, teach online lessons, and take online lessons and classes. This mic does it all effortlessly. It has onboard gain and directional settings - the onboard gain really comes in handy during online lessons with fussy audio settings. It even has a spot to plug in earbuds or headphones with a 3.5mm jack, which is great when i'm trying to isolate the sound. It provides professional quality sound with minimal setup and is easy to use - just plug and play, which is helpful for non-techy people. 10/10 would recommend without reservation.

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.

Amazing mic and delivers incredibly. Uses micro to usb which I was more worried about as those cables are aging out and realllly heavy to put on a boom stick. Otherwise does exactly what it needs to do. Would recommend a pop filter with it

I purchased this microphone specifically for a guest appearance on a podcast while COVID measures were strict. Instead of going to a studio, the recording was completed with both participants being remote. The unit was easy to use, plug and play with Windows 10, and the unit allows for the configuration of several settings. This certainly would be a nice to have for many but was a need to have for the professional recordings that were being produced. I have no qualms with recommending this microphone for the customer that needs this type of equipment.

Very solid microphone works very well and the settings are easy to understand. It’s a little tall and may not be the best if you’re recording yourself as the microphone will be shown a lot in the frame and the switches are very stiff. But the buildquality is fantastic

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.

This microphone is amazing quality and very versatile, for recording artist, for streaming and for any applications. Check closely the picture and read specification, for very small price you can get very good quality reliable recording microphone. I love it and I am sure you will love it too.

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.

This microphone delivers impeccable audio quality, capturing sound with remarkable clarity. Its performance exceeded my expectations, but the only downside was underestimating its size. Nonetheless, its exceptional audio capabilities make it a top choice for any recording or broadcasting needs.

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.

This microphone has already served a great purpose. I was looking for a good mic to use as a Christmas for my younger brothers. They have ipads and they use garageband a lot! At first when i bought it, i thought i'd have to take it back to the store, until i realized that the usb plugin for computers (its a USB mic) could be converted to lightning cables with an adapter. Voila! Turns out that Best buy was also the ONLY store in a range of 10 miles that even had usb to lightning adapters! got an adapter as well the net day at the same store and went home on christmas eve very much satisfied and impressed with best buy in General.

It's a very handy microphone. Very simple to use. Sounds great. There's a reason A LOT of people(streamers/asmr creators/gamers) use this mic. Very heavy/sturdy build, which is a good thing for durability but bad for finding a good mic arm that can hold it. Definitely worth it.

Really good sound quality and a lot of adjustability. The mic can record from both sides of the capsule at once, if so desired. Love the gain control and the individual volume adjustment for plugged in headphone audio. One of my favorite things about the mic is the dedicated, physical mute button. It's a bit bulky, so trying to figure out how to keep it from obstructing vision during gaming sessions is a little tricky, but it definitely gets the job done. FYI, the blue one is almost always 20-30 bucks cheaper. It wasn't the color I wanted, but for a lower price, I'm not complaining.

The Yeti, is a very high fidelity microphone, it has tunable directionality, and maintains balance when even significantly off axis. I set it on my desk and can dictate with the best fidelity and accuracy I have ever experienced. t's easy to set up, merely connect the included cable into both the microphone and usb port on your PC. The instructions are very clear and briefly describes the different modes the microphone has. What I really like about it is that it also tells you what the different modes are recommended for.

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.

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.

Crystal clear audio for calls and recording. Multiple pickup patterns are useful. It’s a classic for a reason.

This is my first actual microphone I’ve bought. I got it for school and work meetings/classes and it has yet to disappoint. Sound is great and it’s easy to set up. I did get a boom arm for it off of Amazon as the stand is quite large and my desk is already ridiculously crowded and it really keeps it off to the side and out of the way! Now I just need a shock mount for it. Seriously great mic that’s good for even podcasting or nonsense talking with your friends. I’m right next to a loud road and it doesn’t pick up any of the noise!
