That same reason is why this microphone is the one you see YouTubers use the most (next to the shure sm7b) and why it’s been the #1 best selling usb mic for years now.
Is it the best audio? No.
Is it the worse audio? No.
Is it budget friendly? Yes (to an extent)
Is it professional sounding? Yes. Yes. Yes.
Is it easy to learn and use? Yes.
Is it good quality? Yes.
Will it last? Yes.
Is it worth the investment? Yes and No.
Should I buy one? Yes and No.
It’s a workhorse microphone that will be there for years to come and perform the same every single time. It just depends on the work load it’s given.
This is an amateur friendly and pro grade microphone however it’s still $100 and that’s a serious investment if you’re not serious about putting it to work.
If you’re a podcaster, singer-songwriter, YouTuber, musician, rapper, voice-over actor, streamer, product reviewer and/or social media influencer then YES most definitely get one.
If you’re a hobbyist, or someone who’s unsure if they need one then No. Don’t get one. It’s better to start off with a much cheaper option that still has a great sound like the Blue Snowball or others of the same price tag.
The sound quality is crystal clear, capturing every nuance of my voice with zero latency. The four polar patterns are incredibly useful, allowing me to switch between cardioid for solo recordings, bidirectional for interviews, omnidirectional for group podcasts, and stereo for a more immersive sound experience.
While this microphone doesn’t come with a camera, its performance more than makes up for it. It’s a must-have for anyone serious about their audio quality on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Discord. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting, the Blue Yeti is a reliable choice that won’t let you down.
Pros:
+ USB Mic
+ Gain Knob
+ 1-to-1 audio feedback
+ Works with common mic stands
+ 4 different recording settings
+ Heavy metal mount included
+ Great Customer Support
Cons:
+ Mic is a bit heavy
+ USB 2.0
+ Slightly Awkward length
For the most part, the Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone works like a champ. Able to record quality audio under a multitude of situations. There are a lot of little touches that make it worth the extra bit you pay compared to the Blue Microphones Snowball USB Microphone . The quality far outweighs the price you pay, especially for a USB mic. I have primarily stuck to using two MXL 990 Condenser Microphone for the past few years and upon getting the Yeti have only run into a few specific moments where using the MXL's is a better choice.
One of the noticeable parts of this mic is how reliable it looks. The metal cover, the well painted black coat and the firm weight. It is worth mentioning that the mic itself does weigh a little bit heavier than normal mics, though if you have a decent mic stand (or use the one it comes with) you shouldn't have any issues. In terms of audio quality, it is fairly high for the price you pay. I've had my experience with bad USB mics before, but the Yeti is solid. It doesn't pickup any noise from the USB, it is great at picking up high or low voices as well. It will take some trial and error, but once you get the correct gain level set you will find yourself enamored with how well you sound.
I purchased a Foam Windscreen for Blue Yeti and I highly recommend doing so if you plan to do solo recordings. The yeti is very sensitive and can easily pick up background noises if your gain is too high, but it can also pick up blowing into the mic even better (a problem for those of us who have a lisp). It's not much of a complaint, as almost any mic responds the same in the given situation, just a pro tip.
I found that the knobs are really durable and smooth to move. My only complaint is that the knobs on the back for the gain and the input setting are the same type, so I often have to take a second to make sure I am not changing the wrong one. Minute complaint, but wish the mic input knob was the same type as the headphone volume knob. The mute button feels a bit flimsy, but with how rarely you'll likely push it, I doubt it will start falling off anytime soon (unless you brute mash it every time).
I included the picture of the box in the review, which outlines the different settings the mic has, but let me explain them a bit more:
- Cardioid: Perfect for doing solo recordings, it comes in crisp and clear, with almost little gain necessary.
- Bidirectional: Perfect for duo recordings. One person sits on either side of the mic and basically talks face to face.
- Omnidirectional: Perfect for conference recordings. It records in every direction, but the quality of the audio is lower significantly to focus on picking up any and every noise possible within a given radius.
- Stereo: Perfect for Group Calls. It records in front, left, and right of the mic. It is great when recording multiple people in a skype call as the audio coming from behind the mic isn't getting picked up.
When I first got the mic I realized that the majority of my computers have USB 3.0 slots on them, so heading over to their website, I checked to see if the mic would perform well on usb 3.0. At the moment there are instances where the mic will not work properly over USB 3.0, but it is a hit or miss situation. It is a shame that the mic doesn't 100% support USB 3.0, but this problem can usually be rectified with a powered USB 2.0 hub. The website itself also has a great amount of support documents for those with questions regarding the device. Highly recommended for first time microphone users.
overall, if you are in the market for a new microphone, I highly recommend checking out the Blue Yeti. It has great quality, for a great price with little drawback.
** I also use this Microphone with my PS4 and my Elgato, and it works perfectly fine. I haven't run into any issues with either so far. Again it takes a bit of time to setup the gain properly, but once it is set, you sound better than everyone else! **
