Works as expected. Can’t really vouch for it over others as this is the only one I’ve used

Got as a gift and the person loved it. Great brand!

No mute button is why I gave 3. Sound Quality is ok

It works very well had no problems getting it set up and ready use over all was a good project

The orb, this is the orb. This is the yeti orb ;).

Its alright, but it doesn't cost much so thats a bonus i guess

Mic is compact but picks up everything in the background.

Wasnt horrible however has a bad noise floor as well as pretty high sensitivity could here my dogs walking through the mic

Not a terrible beginner mic, not super great, picks up a fair amount of background noise, while the new rzr one I got seems better

Piece of garbage. Issues constantly since I got it. Tried numerous USB ports and cables. It works decently, not perfectly, if it's sitting on my chest. Absolutely horrible sound quality, not even understandable speech, when placed further. Terrible quality when the center of the circle isn't directly pointed at your mouth. Garbage

Had a hard time setting it up. Seema to not pick up or location yeit from my mac. Tryed youtubing it and going online gor help. Gonna return it.

I received this in April and it’s mid-August and this product no longer works. Of course we no longer have the paperwork and it’s not worth using the warranty because it’s probably going to cost me to ship it back so I will have spent more than what it cost. Not worth it….don’t buy.

This microphone is relatively simple. Plug it in via the USB cable and you're ready to go. Using the downloadable G Hub application, however, provides some additional features, though, such as the ability to change the lighting effects as well as having the ability to apply different equalizer settings and effects to the audio. The microphone comes with the stand attached, but there is a threaded receptacle for an articulating arm or other stand, if so desired. There are a few things that would be nice if available. First, the microphone did come packaged with a cable, but it was a USB-A to a USB-C cable. Anyone with a newer computer, especially a Mac, may not even have a USB-A port anymore. I am a little disappointed that the cable was not a USB-C to USB-C cable. It would also have been nice for there to be a hardware mute button (or switch) on the microphone. Within the software, the lighting effects can be changed automatically based upon the microphone's current function (e.g., one color when in standby and another color when recording). Personally, I wish there was a third option to have another color when the microphone is muted (which, unfortunately, needs to be done through the OS as the microphone lacks a hardware function for muting the microphone). Having used a Yeti microphone before for podcasts and video presentation recording, the sound quality from this microphone was great. (I did notice, however, that it does not isolate the speaker from background noise very well, however. That's good in that the microphone really does pick up a lot of sound, but it can also be a disadvantage in a noisy environment. While the stand is nice, simple, and minimalist, it is also not adjustable. On my particular setup, the microphone sits in my field of view for the monitor by about a half inch to an inch (or so). If only I could lower the microphone just a little bit... So, ultimately, I would probably rate this at 4.5 stars if that option existed. Given some of the shortcomings mentioned previously, I was not comfortable with a 5-star rating, so a 4-star it is.

Bad mic quality and the usb c cable snapped after 2 months of use and it would make my voice very quiet

I love this microphone. When I first opened it i thought it would be something that was similar to a toy. This microphone is sleek with a nice sturdy feel to it. this microphone goes with everything gaming that I have on my desk. The quality sound of this microphone was clear and crisp. The vocal quality it that of something more expensive. I have to say that this is something worth buying for that gamer that is just getting started or more so that entry level gamer. i hav to say it is not only for the novice but experienced gamers as well. I found it very easy to sinc and download other devices with it. The only thing that i did notice was I was not able to hide the sounds of the mouse and my keyboard, which isn’t a really big deal considering the value and price of it. I love the size of it. It is large enough and the sleek design makes this a stylish addition to any gamers ensemble. If you go to purchase this microphone you will not go wrong with it especially for the value. This will make a great Christmas gift.

The Logitech G condenser gaming mic with LIGHTSYNC is a very cool mic for creating video content, especially streaming. Up front, I will say my biggest concern is that if you have two people streaming in the same room, this mic does not isolate enough sound for both of you to comfortably play in the same room. I wasn't even able to completely ghost out my own keyboard and mouse clicks. That said, the quality on the mic is excellent. Everything comes through, and sounds like an accurate representation. I appreciate that the mic comes with a desktop stand. That said, it can be mounted on a boom or and adjustable table arm, as well as some camera tripods. The price is fantastic, compared to any other mic of similar performance. While this isn't the top of the line microphone it is excellent, especially if you are just starting to create video content or streaming. My biggest issue with this microphone is the lack of a mute button, meaning that if you need to mute it you either need to do so in the PCs controls, or just unplug the mic.

I'm a big fan of Logitech's Yeti series since back when they were Blue, they've been my go-to podcasting, gaming, audio drama-ing, transportable standard. I've never met a Blue or Logitech Microphone I didn't like... and this one is no exception. The Blue Snowball ICE from way back when is probably what you're thinking when you see the Yeti Orb, but the shape and weight is about where the comparison stops. While the Blue Snowball ICE was superbly simple with regard to capturing excellent audio with no extra bells or whistles, this Yeti Orb is deceptively simple with plug-and-play readiness via a USB-C cable and software that literally takes about 2 minutes to master. Out of the box, the Yeti Orb's audio is crisp, clear, and the cardioid pattern capture is sufficient for most streaming purposes. I also found the noise cancellation (especially for clicks and clacks on keyboards) was surprisingly adept, including for things like subtle crinkling paper or plastic nearby, minor creaks and groans of the desk or chair, etc... all without weird clipping in voice recordings. The mic itself is super lightweight and easily transportable, about the size of a baseball. It features a USB-C connector on the back. Serious streamers will need a longer cable for cable management and/or mounted configurations (the Yeti has two mount ports for this and the tripod is removable), but out of the box, you have EVERYTHING you need for a great audio setup. On both Windows and Apple, I was able to plug and play with minimal effort, but where the Yeti Orb really shown is in the addition of the Logitech G Hub software. Like most geeks, I do NOT enjoy "yet another software suite" bundles that must be engaged to wrench the full functionality from a device as simple as a microphone, and in the past, Logitech's G Hub software behaved so badly that I just gave up on it on Apple devices. I'm very happy to say: this is no longer the case. The Logitech G Hub software has had a major improvement in terms of usability. The Logitech G Hub software had been a major issue in the past which meant you couldn't get the full fun and functionality out of your Yetis; the software did not work well or sync settings previously (especially on Macs)... however, that's no longer an issue here. On both Windows and Apple machines, the Yeti Orb and the Logitech G Hub software perform very well, allowing you to customize the condenser settings in the microphone itself to your environment as well as apply the VO!CE effects, create a series of macros for your stream, and even connect into your streaming hub of choice including OBS, Discord, and StreamLabs (the Yeti Orb comes with a StreamLabs Ultra coupon code). It also comes with an array of sound effects for your Macros which can be programmed independently per program or game, and synced with your gaming setup (and pairing nicely with your other Logitech gear). The VO!CE effects are kinda funny; I could see these being used on D&D campaigns or something similar to augment the story being told... or quick effects for an audio drama or anything else that you needed multiple voices for. Blue microphones have always been stylish, and this one is no different. The fabric coating as well as the black matte plastic and RGB lighting make for a mic you won't mind having on camera with you. The lighting on the microphone itself is syncable to your screen sampling as well as fully RGB so you can set to cycling colors or a specific fixed color almost anywhere in the RGB spectrum. All told: this is a fantastic mic for gamers, streamers, podcasters, and audio-drama enthusiasts. The quick-and-easy nature of the condenser settings and plug-and-play out-of-the-box readiness and form factor mean you could pop up a very quick interview setup at a convention or at your favorite coffee shop and still have a very good recording experience, just as good as if you were sitting at home at your full gaming rig.

Bought this mic thinking it would be better then my no name mic. It was not. Very disappointed, lots of static, cutting in and out and the app is pointless.

GOOD - Inexpensive - Has two 1/4" threaded mount points BAD - Mediocre build quality - No on-unit controls for gain, mute, etc - No headphone/monitor jack - Unnecessarily big TL/DR The Yeti Orb is essentially Logitech's updated version of the the older Yeti Snowball. It's an inexpensive mic with passing quality for its price, but lacks some basic features of similarly costing mics. DETAILS The Yeti Orb is rather plain, even for a "low budget" gaming and streaming microphone. It's a simple sphere with a USB-C port for connecting to your computer, two 1/4" threaded mount points, and that's it. The included base is It has no other connections, no headphone jack, no gain or sidetone knobs, not even a mute switch or button. The included base is, well, cheap. It's molded plastic with small rubber pads on the three feet. When connected to the mic, the mic orb can rotate, but there is no other articulation. All customization and configuration of the mic is handled in software, specifically Logitech's G Hub. Options for tuning the sound profile are pretty good and you can share your custom settings for others to download, or download other users' profiles too. You can also set the RGB lighting and sync it with RGB from other Logitech peripherals, like keyboards and mice, but the Orb doesn't seem to support all the different lighting options that other peripherals do. Navigating all these options in G Hub takes a lot of patience as the documentation is essentially browsing through a lot of FAQs, rather than being able to read a good manual. It's not that the Orb is a bad mic, just a bit of a letdown for the price. Build quality is bad to mediocre. The seams between the molded plastic panels are a bit uneven and you'll feel the occasional sharp edge. The fabric covering half works as a pop filter. Having no controls directly on the unit, especially not even a mute button, is pretty stingy. I'd gladly trade the RGB features for a mute button and headphone jack. With the right sound control and settings, it will sound much better than the typical boom mic on your headset. However you can regularly find competing products from Razer and Hyper X around $40. And if you step up just a little bit from the Orb's price, you can get some very good mics in the $70-$80 range.

This is very much a product for people who want an excellent room mic that they can simply plug in and use. You really don't have to mess with EQ or audio levels to get a great experience. From several feet away, the mix picks up my voice with crystal clarity and filters out the background noise of my AC going off and my neighbors yelling as they pass by windows. I used this for work meetings and had a better experience than I've had with more expensive headsets, and I've regained a degree of mobility as well. Your voice will start booming if you get too close, but by "too close" I mean basically several inches away from the mic. Coworkers could even pick me up clearly when I was farther away then I planned on being, like when I had to break up fighting pets during a meeting. This is truly a top-tier out of the box experience and worth the money. I didn't get much benefit from the G Hub options. You can make more granular adjustments to audio settings in the software, but for business and student use this really isn't necessary. Professional streamers and content creators would probably want to invest in a step-ups model anyway, so for this product fine-tuning is a bit of overkill. The RGB light is cute, but it doesn't take up much surface area on the device, so there's not really much point in tinkering with it. Construction is great as well. This little Yeti is durable and the stand can handle bumping a table accidentally. Even my cats couldn't topple it with a couple of swats. In short, if you need an excellent mic that doesn't require extensive tweaking, and you're not necessarily looking to start a career as a streamer, this little mic provides awesome performance for the money. I've used earlier models of Yeti before, and it's good to see that the quality remains top notch. I like the new color scheme more, too.
