Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 was first skeptical for purchasing a separate mic. But then I realized that most of our meetings come with only audio especially in corporate Microsoft teams. Many times with the laptop mic I always get a complain that I am not audible and not clear. Most times we don’t get a MAC for work. This one helps fix all the problems. This connects via USB. I know Yeti is a professional grade mic. But I love the fact that with the great quality I can even walk in the meeting and talk . Yeti will make sure our voice is crystal clear during the meetings, Though I know its much more than meetings - for me it gives me all I need. Thank you Best Buy once again to give me an honest review and guiding throughout the purchase

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.

This microphone has incredible sound quality, versatility, and build quality. It's heavy and fairly expensive but, to me, the weight is not a problem (and maybe an advantage) and the price is well justified.

Excellent audio quality. I was thinking that I may need to install drivers etc. but it was a simple plug and play set up on my windows laptop.

Awesome microphone. Between the gain switch and audio shape options, (cardioid etc) this mic picks up my voice even when I'm far away and whispering. Works with G hub software too.

Needed to do some narration for a home video. After doing some research, I chose the Blue Yeti Professional Condenser Microphone. As other reviews have mentioned, this is a very sensitive mic! Controls on the mic allow you to adjust the sensitivity so I was able to omit much of the ambient noise in the room while still fully capturing my voice. I also connected Bose QC35 headphones to the mic (via cable) to use while I was recording. Nice! Very pleased with the quality of this microphone and look forward to using it again. Getting it on sale as a nice bonus too.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Great product!! Bought this for my daughter that kept buying headphones with mics that would always break. We give this 5 stars

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 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.
