Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this for my son who wanted to get into podcasting. It's simple to use, sounds great, and was a much easier 'Step 1' solution for him than having a separate audio interface, microphone, monitoring, etc. He also uses it for things like VOIP call and online gaming and it seems to work well for those to.

hook up is easy. this is fairly large as far as peripherals on desktop. I use mine as mic but speakers as direct connect from monitor to pc (and this occasionally causes problems because the yeti "speaker" setting tries to take primary in some applications). will likely try to swap that connection and see if it resolves the issue. pickup is good so I don't have to yell to be heard in my meetings anymore

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!
