Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Yeti Orb is a solid desktop mic that can easily upgrade your recordings, whether you're a gaming streamer, a music enthusiast, or just a home user looking to upgrade from a mediocre headset mic. It's an easy to use product that can really boost your audio capture. Setup was as simple as you'd expect from a Logitech product. It's basically plug and play. If you fancy the included mic stand, you can be up and running under a minute. For those looking for more flexibility, the mic has a standard mounting hole on the bottom (great for those looking to use a boom stand or otherwise). As mentioned above, sound quality of this mic is unexpectedly good. Out of the box, the sound profile has been great. Of particular note, the mic was great at filtering out background noises and specifically, I had zero issues with keyboard noise coming through on recordings/streams. I have a fairly loud mechanical keyboard that's been notoriously an issue for almost every headset I've tried, but the Orb has done great with this. Beyond gaming, though, the mic also sounds great in the capacity of recording vocals and acoustic guitars as well. I do some home recording, and also write music, and the Orb has been a total game changer in terms of capturing new ideas I come up with for songs. Being a condenser mic, it's a natural fit for recording acoustic instruments, and this one does it well. I don't necessarily get studio-level recordings with it (and no one should expect that), but again, it's great for anyone that's laying down scratch recordings or that's live streaming their musicianship. I've been very happy with the Orb. It's been a great quality of life upgrade for me, as an amateur gamer and also as a hobbyist musician. Anyone looking for an easy to use vocal/recording upgrade should consider this one.

I was able to try out the new Logitech G Yeti Orb condenser RGB gaming microphone with Lightsync for my PC, and I have become an instant fan. The first game I played while using the Orb, I was blessed up when the squad started in with their “Streamer Mic” nonsense. Logitech knocked it out of the park with this one’s combination of quality, affordability, style, and performance. Out of the box, the Orb is a sight to behold and even more so when placed at the angle on the included stand. The mic is sleek black, and the RGB really pops to add a vibe. You set the tone by using the G Hub downloadable software. The Orb comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable (C to the Orb), which I thought was a bit weird since they could have just opted to go C to C. Either way, it is recommended that you use a 3.0 port for optimal download performance. My personal experience was that the firmware update for G Hub would not complete until I used the 3.0. Afterward, the ability to set the ambient lighting projected from the G in the back of the Orb was super cool. I did find the glow a bit distracting in game due to the glare. Because of the placement of the mic on my desk, I was able to adjust the glow to a sweet spot that worked for me. Again, the microphone audio quality is where this device deserves the most applause. At this price point, it should not work this well. The condenser capsule really does block out everything except the user's voice in a way that delivers that perfect streamer mic. The overall conclusion is that the Logitech G Yeti Orb is a perfect addition to any setup. This is a top tier quality microphone at an entry level price.

First thing first. I use a lot of Logitech products. My keyboard, mouse, and mouse pad are all Logitech. I find they provide great consumer products. Therefore, I was excited to be able to try out their new Yeti Orb Condenser Gaming Microphone. The BLUE sound technology that has been integrated works very well. It provides for any fun voice changing affects you may want to use or have been used on you before in gaming/chat lobbies. The quality of the sound depends on more than just the mic. (general sound stage of the enviorment your using it in.) I find that the software integrated into the yeti orb does a great job at isolating your voice and overcoming weaknesses in any sound stage environments. The main question I had was can I use this mic without a mic arm. I was very happy that the answer is yes. For years I have been using a mic that attaches to my headphones and now I have one less wire running up my arm and cluttering my desk. I love that the RGB works with the logitech G hub. All of my RBG profiles added the Yeti Orb without any issues. The device is great. I have not had any complaints from my online friends. I told them I had a new mic and asked if it was a step back and they said it is good. You can get better mic performance from this mic if you include a boom arm and pop filter but that is not needed. The mic works, looks good. and for me was plug and play. Great consumer product.

Looking for a desktop condenser mic? Need it to have a small footprint? Want it to be customizable? Well, you're in luck, the Logitech Yeti Orb hits all three criteria. This microphone has two mounting positions on the included stand, takes up minimal desktop space, and blends nicely into most desktop computing and gaming setups. Setup is easy and fast - just mount the orb to the stand, connect the USB cord to the mic and your computer, and that's it, you're ready to rock. Out of the box this mic is ready to use, but if you desire some custom lighting and features you can download the G Hub application. There you can work a little magic with LIGHTSYNC and customize your mic lighting to your liking. This mic has done a great job picking up my voice while at the same time filtering out some of the surrounding noise. As with all cardioid microphones, you'll want to play with the positioning to find the optimal placement for your use case. I've used this both for gaming and video chat, with stellar results from each use type. Others have said my voice is clear, clean, and minimal to no outside noise interference. I would definitely recommend this mic to anyone looking for a great desktop mic with excellent performance and the ability to customize. It has found a place on my desktop for quite awhile.

The Logitech Yeti Orb Is a very nice microphone, and while intended for gaming, could easily be used for YouTube, podcast, live streaming and other types of audio content production. It arrived neatly and securely packaged, and took only seconds to set up. It come already mounted on it's tripod, which is solid and stable. Setup was as simple as connecting it via the enclosed USB-C to USB-A cable and allowing the operating system to discover it and load the drivers. Mac and Windows setup were equally painless. One nice touch is the inclusion of two threaded inserts to attach the microphone orb to the stand at different angles or placement using a stand or arm type mount. The thread size is 1/4-20, so it will work with a wide variety of accessories. Overall, this is a great budget microphone. I didn't mention anything about the RGB feature, because it simply isn't something I find necessary or care about. I feel that Logitech would be better off spending that development time/money on something less gimmicky and more functional. So in conclusion, for a budget microphone with a variety of uses, the yeti Orb is a great buy with great sound quality and ease of use. If your looking for a mic in this price range, it's a great buy.

This computer microphone plugs into a computer with a USB plug and therefore is strictly digital and not analog. There is a free downloadable app called Logitech G Hub to utilize many settings available with the microphone including the control of the internal RGB light effects for the logo on the microphone. All settings are saved in the microphone. The Yeti orb has a built-in pop filter. It works very well in that regard. The audio processing is controlled through the G Hub app. There are options to adjust voice effects, filters, noise removal, and many custom settings, filters, and the ability to create new personal settings should the user wish to spend time doing so. The microphone has a mounting screw thread to use it without the tripod stand but attached to microphone arms and booms. It has a very good ability to reduce noise and remember this is a USB digital signal microphone so it does not suffer from any analog interference introduced via a prone analog audio cable. The audio quality produced by this microphone is very good from everyone who heard it via apps such as Zoom, Teams and via my app that allows using my PC for phone calls in Windows 11. It is highly recommended. Good work Logitech!

The Logitech Yeti Orb Wired Cardioid Condenser Gaming Microphone is a decent addition to my setup. But I'm not sure it's a necessary upgrade for those using an attached microphone on a headset. First, I love the seamless syncing with my other Logitech peripherals. Very easy to setup and customize through the GHUB app. Not the best RGB app but far from the worst. It comes with a USB-C connection, which is nice. Aesthetically, it is a pleasing device, with a very simple yet modern look. I definitely don't mind leaving it on my desk. It does a mostly commendable job of getting rid of background noises, although it does occasionally pick up mouse/keyboard clicks, which my friends say is a bit annoying. However, I'll often have sporting events/television noise in the background while gaming and it almost never picks up noise from that. My major complaint is the absence of a dedicated mute button on the device. This would have been an ideal addition for quick and easy muting during gameplay. Just a simple button on the device would make a big difference since so many games require tabbing out which is very inconvenient while gaming. In summary, the Logitech Yeti Orb is a solid performer. While it may not represent a massive leap in audio quality, its thoughtful features and Logitech's signature LIGHTSYNC technology make it a worthy addition for fans of the brand.

I am of two minds on the Logitech Yeti Orb. My son who plays competitive e-sports gave it a thumbs up and I am slightly more middle of the road with it. I believe the Yeti Orb is the first fruit of the newly acquired Blue Microphones by Logitech early in the summer. Not to say Logitech may have had much to do with the internal design, but it is clearly Logitech with the external G branding and tie into the G Hub gaming Software. It has a certain gamer vibe with the glowing G emanating from the back of it, but thankfully it is a tasteful design that doesn't scream look at me. Also, the lighting is controllable from the Logitech Gaming software so it can be set to your liking or even turn off if you want to be more innocuous. The mic comes with a short tripod stand that doesn't chew up a terrible amount of desk space and for most people will probably fit the bill. I used it in this manner and my son replaced his Snowball mic with it on an adjustable mic stand attached to his desk. I found the mic had great pickup and possibly a little too sensitive as it picked up everything I was doing with my mouse and keyboard. I am little surprised it doesn't mask noise a tad better, but it no one complained about the noise and everyone could hear me intelligibly. That said, placement is key. If you try to tuck it away or move it further away from you people may struggle to hear you. So while sensitive I think your voice gets masked as background noise if you don't meet a certain threshold. I have it just to the left of my keyboard and I have received no complaints during online matches. Microsoft Teams on the other hand was a real mixed bag. This one stumps me as it really shouldn't be different, but for whatever reason when I have tried to use the mic in more business situations I have found colleagues asking me to repeat myself unless I have the mic nearly shoved up to my face. Could be a gain problem in the application itself and I haven't played with it more to test that theory as it really isn't the point of the mic. I only bring it up for those that might be considering the mic for dual purposes. My son loves the mic. He has told me several times he believes it to be a step up from his previous Snowball. Evidently his team mates say he is much clearer and easier to understand than before. Not really a true metric of any kind, but it is a good endorsement from a crowd that this mic aims to entice. I believe Logitech has achieved what it set out to do here and that is create a mic for gaming, live streaming, and maybe podcasting purposes. I think it is reasonably priced and the Yeti brand of mics lives on for more continued success. My only negative is really the weirdness in Microsoft Teams which could be important if you are looking to work and game with it.

This is a great product for both streamers or gamers. My seven year old son is a heavy Fortnite player and loves to play live. This works so well if you like to play live games but don’t want to use a traditional headset that restricts your listening to your computer. This microphone is a USB connected mic and will connect directly to your computer. My son has loved this as he doesn’t have to connect via a headset and can freely talk into a mic. The mic itself has a good range and it’s very receptive. You can use your computer for overall audio or also use other audio options like a headset or computer microphone and still use your mic. It’s super easy to set up and use with whatever games you’re playing, especially things that work with epic games like Fortnite. You just need to adjust your settings in the game you’re playing to choose your audio input and it works perfectly. I love the ease of use and the sound quality. This would be great if you’re streaming or making videos as well as playing games. It has great sound quality and is super easy to connect and use.

I have been a casual gamer since the 90's and one of the biggest gripes I have always had is bulky gaming headsets. This is always partially due to a boom microphone sticking out from the headset in front of my face, when you game for many hours straight this becomes cumbersome and uncomfortable. I always viewed desktop microphones as sub-par, or overly priced. Well the Logitech Yeti Orb Gaming Microphone has totally changed that! Now I can use whatever audio source I want for gaming and I don't have to be burdened by a bulky headset any longer! This is a very affordable solution, and the sound quality has been nothing short of phenomenal. I was worried there would be echo, background noise issues, or just overall poor sound quality but that not been the case at all, quite the opposite in fact! Everyone says my voice is much clearer than before, and there are zero issues with other sounds bleeding in like fan noise or traffic. My only regret is that I did not jump on the standalone microphone bandwagon sooner!

Honestly one of the best microphones i've used, it picks up any close by sound and never any background noise. The best product i've ever used.

Not a bad microphone. Pairs excellent with the boom arm, and is generally not too shabby for its price.

You don’t need to break the bank with an expensive mic, this one works perfectly!

for the price it is a great product! program makes it very easy to customize for anyone! product does feel a little cheap due to plastic all over but overall great product for the price!

This mic is exactly what I need for the price. Would highly recommend for a budget option.

This is the worst mic I have ever purchased, this mic has had issue like, static, popping an crackling sounds in the background.
