Logitech Creators Blue Yeti USB Microphone for Gaming, Streaming, Podcast, YouTube, Discord, PC, Studio Sound, Plug & Play-Blackout

First of all, all me to state that those who wrote poor reviews for this mic must be quite privileged musicians with a load of experience or audio engineers who have an allegiance to a certain brand, because they are all sorely mistaken. The Yeti is, in my opinion as a singer/songwriter searching for decent recording equipment for the last year, a fantastic, well priced microphone for people looking to record quality sound. It seems quite versatile and craftily engineered. I have spent the last year in a hotel in the middle of London recording my guitar and vocals on garageband through the mic on my computer. It sounded like complete crap...and not because I am an awful musician, but because the microphone my MacBook Pro wasn't up to the standards I need for recording, maybe I was too close or maybe too far away, the point is that it is not possible to judge a proper distance from the mic as it is minuscule, and difficult to locate. In addition, the plosives and many harder guitar strums were enrobed in static and just sounded awful. I tweaked the equalizer as much as I could to make them sound manageable, but, alas, I no longer need to do that. Thanks to my Yeti. Of course a usb mic won't sound as thrilling as a standard microphone suited up with proper impedance cables and monitor buddies, but when you buy a mic that connects via usb, one's standards cannot be held too high. This mic, with such appropriate standards in mind, met and surpassed what I had anticipated. The vocals are clear, the guitar is clear, and because of that effects through garage band work more effectively. No longer am I struggling with shrill sounds and bassy guitar twangs, no longer am I wasting all my time clarifying the songs, I am simply recording, editing, and feeling so much better about my music. It is true, I have never played in a studio, or used thousand dollar mics, but it is also true that I do not have the money neither for time in a recording studio in London, nor for the more expensive Blue microphones, thereby, I went this route and I couldn't be any happier. If you are struggling with clarity and play more mellow/soft rock/pop rock/acoustic/ambient/coffee shop etc music, then this is a real advantage for you in the small studio you are beginning to assemble in your room or basement or apartment. If you are a heavy rocker, maybe it isn't a good choice, but I haven't attempted screaming into this mic yet...probably wouldn't be smart in a hotel in central London. As for travel, it isn't a exactly the best portable size, but in this case I don't think a quality mic will be. Maybe you can try the Snowflake, but I'll bet my insignificant income that it will not be as munificent. Also, G-Band is the only program I have used with it. It is very compatible, though I will say I was confused at first as to why there was no sound coming out of my computer, but I quickly realized that there is a headphone jack built into the mic for a good reason. It may seem like a possible flaw, but I think it makes things much easier. And do yourself a favor, toss the earbuds and buy some real recording headphones, you know? The ones that cost more than six bucks at TJ Maxx. I am not saying to buy Beats, I am just saying that everything sounds like a band of gorillas pounding on tin cans through the buds--and maybe you're saying "no, I have some stellar buds!" Well good for you, I haven't found any so don't rub it in. I gave this five stars because I don't know any better, but four stars seems stupid and awkward, its like the age of twenty, not quite twenty one but have been drunk since eighteen, it is a four in the terms of mics that I have experienced, but under the given conditions it is definitely a five. I say buy it if you meet my described criterium, but who am I but a simple singer/songwriter. Enjoy!

This is my second Blue Yeti, and honestly, I’m impressed all over again. My first one was one of the originals, bought somewhere around eight years ago, back when these things first hit the scene. That mic lived a rough life. It survived backpack rides, road trips, and more “oops” moments than I’ll admit in print. It finally gave out after years of abuse, but considering what it went through, I can’t even be mad. The new one sounds just as good, maybe better, and the software is a nice upgrade. The voice filters are great for anyone who wants to sound like they know what they’re doing. There’s a broadcaster setting that gives you that warm “I host a late-night talk show” tone, plus podcast and voice-changer options. You can sound like a pro, a robot, or a robot hosting a podcast if that’s your thing. Durability-wise, this mic still feels like a tank. You can toss it in a bag, haul it to events, or set it up in your living room studio, and it’ll just keep doing its job. My one gripe is the mini-USB port. It’s 2025. We have self-driving cars and refrigerators that talk, but somehow this mic is still rocking mini-USB. Most people under 25 probably think that’s a fossil from a museum. I’m sure it made sense years ago, but come on, Logitech… it’s time. Sound quality? Amazing. It picks up everything. And I mean everything. Roommate sneezing three rooms away? Got it. Dog sighing dramatically? Crystal clear. Great for streaming and recording, occasionally hilarious for live streams. Voice isolation handles all of that as well as a really loud air purifier in the same room I stream in. Ok algorithm what do you mean by fit? See the algorithm wants me to mention certain aspects, fit is one of them. Umm it fits on my desk. Fits nicely on a standard boom arm. I think it even came with European and US mic stand adapters If you want a mic that lasts, is affordable, sounds incredible, and occasionally captures your neighbor microwaving dinner, the Blue Yeti’s still the one to beat. Oh… I got the blue one but there’s more colors available. It’s not a blue yeti just because it is blue. My first one was black..

I bought this to film some sewing tutorials for youtube. I'm also a big fan of asmr and played around with it and surprisingly got good results! It's easy to connect and I just bought some wind covers to help with "P" sounds from peaking the volume. I feel like there are a lot of jokes about these mics being meh, but unless you're someone who works with audio and can hear the minor differences, I think this is a very good mic for the majority of people. For asmr, streaming, or nice sounding voice overs I really recommend it!

I love this microphone so much. I use it very often for my recorded content and the audio always comes out crystal clear. The microphone is sturdy, the volume and controls are easily adjustable, and the overall shape and size presents an efficient design. I recommend this model for anyone looking for a durable, high quality microphone.

I record a lot of voice over work for various projects, and I needed a mic that was able to adapt to any situation I had. With the four different settings and easy to alter gain, I found it simple to get high quality recordings with less setup and effort. Although this is a great mic, there are minor drawbacks to it here and there. I will try my best to cover everything informatively. 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! **

a very nice product . it's big, it's heavy and it works really nice

Excellent sound output

Quality is great, adjustable for multiple recording directions. Easy to plug and record.
