Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought a Yeti for podcasts and voice over work and can say that it has been more than useful. I have to say, I have yet to get better quality from any other microphone on the market. If you want to a mic for vocal work of any kind...this is the one for you.

Great microphone, for all beginners that are looking into staring a podcast or record videos this is a great addition

The Blue Yeti lives up to its reputation. Great sound and totally worth spending more to upgrade from the built-in computer microphone. I'm not a professional, but I can't think of a single thing this does not provide. Everything I need for perfect sound is right here.

Best Microphone for Zoom Conference and other web based meetings. It has 4 options to receive the voice and hence is very much effective with more people in one room attending the conference call. It picks up even the minutest sound. Worth the money you are spending. Purchased two of this - Blue and Black.

The Blue Yeti microphone stands out as an exceptional piece of audio equipment in its price range. With its robust build quality, sleek design, and versatile polar patterns, it caters to both beginners and experienced users. The sound clarity and depth it delivers are truly impressive, making it a popular choice for podcasters, streamers, and musicians. Its plug-and-play usability is a bonus, eliminating the need for complicated setups. Overall, the Blue Yeti offers outstanding value for its cost, solidifying its reputation as a top-tier microphone in the market.

I bought this item for my son and he was amazed the performance

Overall review/pro and con at bottom Ok I'm not a mic expert but I am wrting this to help people make an informed decision on buying Mics. So I bought he Yeti along with 2 other mics and compared them all using Nvidia Geforce Experience recording and obs studio w/ and w/out the standard obs filter plugins. I even tested them out with the third party reaper filter plugins for obs studio. The Samson Meteor Mic ($70)and the Hyper X Quadcast S ($160) are the other mics I compared to the yeti. I'm going to tell you how each mic did in comparison then give you the reason why I gave the Yeti a 3 star rating. Also keep in mind I am using a gaming laptop with an occasional loud fan. The Meteor says its for streaming, gaming and practical means. However it picks up a lot of background noise even with the obs stuio plugins. Even the reaper plugins didnt make much difference. I can hear keyboard sounds, my pc's fan, my chair, faint echos of family down the hall. I think this mic was intended for a regular laptop (no fan) in a quiet place. The yeti was the one mic I kept seeing every where for gaming and practical means. Unlike the samson metoer, it has 4 polar modes knob and a gain control know. The polar modes helps the mic best suit the situation like for interviews, streaming, multi voices, and instruments. All this means is the mic only picks up audio from either one or multiple sides. For example the streaming option only picks up from one side greatly helping reducing background noise. I tested it w/out any plugins and it does okay. Its much better than the Samson Meteor. Then I tested the mic w/ the standard obs plugins and then the reaper. The reaper plugins helped the audio the most especially with the noisegate plugin which doesnt let audio record unless it it reachess a certain loudness. It minimize the background sounds even more so. I even tested the mic up closer with the mic tilted it sounds really good, but you have to adjust the gain knob so you are not too loud. The test with Geforce Experience has no filter plugin, but the audio still sounded really warm had some base. I was still able to hear some background noise though. The last mic I test and compared ws the Hyper X Quadcast S. This mic is intended for gaming but can be used for other means use as interviews, podcast etc. I found this mic to be more forgiving than the other two mics. So this mic has the same 4 polar options knob, gain knob, and mute button. However, there is a few things that this mic does different that is noticeable. Buttons/knobs are smooth and quiet. Its lighter and slightly smaller than the yeti. Its has rgb lighting that the yeti does not. In relation to the mute button, you just tap the top of the mic and them mic mutes and at the same time the rgb lights turn off indicating the mic is mute. Yeti just has a light for mute indication. The Hyper X has an anti shaking mechnism which reduces sounds and unwanted noise. Yeti has no such thing. The hyper x even has an internal pop filter inside of it. Yeti does not. Upon testing in obs, the hyper x does really great at reducing background noise. I think better than the yeti. The reaper plugins have to be re-adjusted. For instance there is a reaper plugin filter called reapfir that you can use to subtract noise when you pc is at idle such pc fans. You have to let what ever mic currently plugin record idle sound without doing anything in order for it to work. With the gain knob all the way up, the hyper x didn't pickup the fan what so ever unless you put it really close to my pc's fan like touching. The yeti I notice was able to pick up my pc's fan without being close. I dont know if this has to do the yeti not having a pop filter or slightly being worse at filtering background noise or what. This is when I noticed the gain knob on the yeti was better than the hyper x but that can also be a bad thing filtering out sounds. Then I noticed the noisegate reaper plugin had to be re-adjusted because the hyper x wasnt picking audio as senstive as the yeti. Which is good because I dont want the background noise but I had to adjust the noise gate so my voice can be heard. When I test it out with the Nvidia Geforec experience recording, it sounded like a studio recording like a youtube content creator. Keep in mind the geforce experience has no filters. Overall give the 3 stars because although it has better gain control, the hyper x quadcast s does a better job at filtering out background noises even without plugin filters. The yeti lacks a pop filter, and anti-shaking mount. Despite being able to tilt foward, the hyper x quadcast s picks up audio better. Pros/cons Samson Meteor Pro -portable -for practical uses like interviews -basic mute button -basic gain knob -light Con -not for gaming/fan audio gets recorded -no polar modes -no anitshake mount -no rbg light Yeti Pro -polar modes -tilt mic -grain control knob Con -heavy -no rgb lighting -polar mode knob on back/makes sounds adjusting -no pop filter -no anti shake mount Hyper x quadcast s Pro -light -rbg lights/works with mute -knobs/buttons are super quiet/ visibly in front -gain knob -polar mode knob -antishake mount -internal popfilter -better at reducing background noise than yeti -more forgiving with audio Con -can tilt but only back -gain knob not as loud as yeti

The mic sounds good and has some nice features. It's a bit on the heavy side.

Good quality at a very affordable price. Great for podcasting, gaming, or general productivity. I would recommend this item.

amazing mic for the price super clear and crisp audio I use it for streaming and my chat loves it

Great for any kind fo mic needs in terms of picking up your voice and isolation, however, trying to use this for gaming is horrible. Push to talk to me is too difficult to use while using my Xbox One controller on my pc during Rocket League and using my speakers the mic will pick up the speakers sound so again AMAZING mic but not for my needs.

Easy to setup and create clear and crisp audio! Fairly large for the size.

The microphone looks timeless and feels great with high quality materials, can be used for anything! Gaming, music, podcasting! You name it, great buy for $100 definitely

Great microphone. multidirectional pickup of sound is great and has helped improve the quality of our online class sessions. I would recommend this to others trying to use it in a classroom environment where the web camera sound feature is not enough to be picked up and heard on the other end.

Good quality microphone. Great for videos and potcast

I needed a better microphone for teaching virtually and recording lessons & tutorial videos. This is an amazing microphone, and so simple to set up. Plug it in, set it to Cardioid pattern... and you're done. Adjustable gain setting right on the unit makes keeping ambient noise well filtered out.

Sound quality is superb. Hands free use is convenient. Retro style is super cool.

FYI I'm a very amateur user. This is my first mic. Before I installed the Logitech G Hub software the recordings I made sounded pretty bad because the mic was picking up basically every sound in the house. I was starting to wish I had purchased another mic with less sensitivity, but after I installed Logitech G Hub and tweaked a few settings I was very easily making high-quality (by my standards, at least) voice recordings. So far I've used it for about 30 minutes of recording, using the free software Audacity, and I'm happy with the results. Also, the stand is hefty and solid, so I don't worry about it falling over.

Great clean sound when used with MacBook pro and logic. Can be set to 4 different settings and is very easy to use. Has a headphone jack and looks great

Great microphone. Very easy setup and easy to use. Great sound quality too!
