Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.
