Pros and cons

According to our studio microphone expert

Thanks to the 4 different directional characteristics, you can use the microphone for different types of recordings.
With the adjustable table stand, you can easily change the direction of the microphone.
You don't need an external sound card thanks to the USB cable.
Due to the microphone design, you can only use the Blue Radius III shock mount and a universal shock mount doesn't work.

Description

You can record all your sounds in no time with the Blue Yeti, whether you're a fanatic YouTuber, interviewer, or musician. Connect the USB microphone to your computer and start recording right away. With the useful switch, you can choose from 4 different directional characteristics. This makes the microphone suitable for different types of recordings. You can provide your YouTube livestream with sound with the cardioid mode. Or, record the sound of entire bands with the omnidirectional mode. The Yeti has an adjustable table stand. So you can always move the microphone to the right direction. To add effects and professional filters to your voice, you can download the Blue VO!CE software. This software is free for this microphone and can be downloaded via the Blue website.

The Blue Yeti is a great microphone, it has very good sound and is solidly built. The microphone has a high sensitivity and a good dynamic range / frequency spectrum. The sound is very natural and free of distortions. The microphone also has a good signal/noise ratio, the recordings have little noise. A good feature is the headphone input which allows monitoring without delay / echo. What I also like is that the Blue Yeti has four different types of shooting modes, depending on the application. This makes it very versatile in use. The cordioid mode is ideal for voice-overs, but it also has a mode for a more spacious recording pattern. It is actually four microphones in 1. In my opinion a very professional microphone for an affordable price.

Nice microphone for communication while gaming.

beautiful model
Many options to control the sound
firm
Very sensitive

Nice design, but a bit large in size. Many sound options to control the sound and it stands very firmly on the desk. Very sensitive to detail, I had to change the USB port to get less vibration from my PC.

The Go-to for Microphones

Easy to set up
Includes long USB cable

It installs very quickly and communicates very well with other programs like Audacity and OBS. Since it is a popular item, there are many tips & tricks on youtube on how to get the best out of it.
