Blue Yeti USB Microphone for PC, Mac, Gaming, Recording, Streaming, Podcasting, Studio and Computer Condenser Mic with Blue VO!CE effects, 4 Pickup Patterns, Plug and Play – Red

It is a little bit but other than that wonderful product. This usb microphone was outstanding audio quality and for a really good price as well it fits right in to any setup and very easy to setup with pc or console, which is ideal for any user looking for an easy to setup usb microphone, would definitely recommend

Amazing Mic,Just be sure to have a quick google at some of the setups as it is not a straight plug and playGo into your sound settings, Microphone, set the Yeti as default, then go to Levels, and drop from 100% to around 20-40%On recording software and discord, It won't then pick up all of the background noise, because this microphone, as brilliant as it is, Is quite sensitive, so be gentle with it and don't call it names.

I've used this mic for nearly a year now, and it's been stupendously. People can hear me clearly as if I'm in the same room as them, and in recordings it sounds decent; no distortion or echoing. Is a bit expensive, but worth it if you have the money.

As I cannot yet get into a studio to present radio shows (still in shielding), I was invited to participate in internet radio. Although I have the full set-up mixing desk, I wanted a quick means to connect to a laptop so that I could utilise different rooms in the house, so as not to upset everyone else at home. I therefore researched different USB microphones and took a gamble with this mic (I also bought it in red just to make it more interesting than the usual silver everyone seems to go for). Make sure you use the correct setting on the mic for your environment and whatever system you have on your computer (currently Sam Broadcasting) needs to be set-up to suit the microphone, and it works a dream. When I used the mic just through audacity to record vocals, it sounded very tinny - so don't assume simply buying the correct mic will answer all your prayers - you need to know how to get the best out of it. I know a lot of people use it for communicating and gaming, and it is very straight forward to plug and go - as a professional broadcasting tool, it does work wonders but you need to set up your system/software to get the most from it.

This microphone has shown me exactly why it is worth the money. I have been using this through Discord on PC and through the PS4 party chat and both times the people who I have been with have said that my voice sounds clear and quality. I bought a separate foam shield to go over the top of the head and this fits perfectly too.The build quality is great, the whole thing is metal. My colour was red because it was the only one that had in stock at the time, but I didn't really care about the colour. It has a gain controller that allows the microphone to be boosted in sound, but you may lose the quality of the sound. It has 4 different modes it can be in (Cardioid, Bidirectional, Stereo, and Omnidirectional). I have been using Cardioid as it picks up noise mainly from the front of the microphone, which is what I use it for. There is a mute button on the front that is permanently red when off mute and flashes red when you are muted. I have found this button to not always work, you really have to press it in to get it to mute, but I don't see this as a terrible issue. What I found while using it, was that it is really sensitive, like REALLY SENSITIVE. It picks up voices that even you can't hear.The cable that it comes with (Mini USB-to-USB) and I feel is long enough, unfortunately, I don't know the full length of the cable. I want to say 2/3M at most. It comes on a stand that it can be removed from by unscrewing the two screws on either side, allowing you to put the microphone on an arm. The only issue with this is that the Yeti has such a different design, that you're almost forced to buy Yeti's shock mount and arm, which cost a bomb on their own.Overall the microphone is fantastic, the sound is so clear and it makes people think you're in the same room as them it's that good. I should be giving this 5* and I really want to, but trying to force everyone into buying only Yeti licenced products because they've made the mount very distinctive isn't a cool move. I have attached a few images of my microphone and I'll hopefully have a YouTube review up explaining the pros and cons, as well as a test of each mode on the microphone.

The Yeti, what can I say, if you have a good setup then this will complement it, you do need to tune everything properly but if you are making YouTube videos this is ideal, it's setup very easy and does a lovely job of recording sound. I searched a lot for a good mic, and after a few bad ones I had to spend a little more and for this decent one.

This is a product that is much better build then its price range. Absolutely no complain, does the job brilliantly. It's a bit heavy so make sure to pair it with a solid stand.

I had tried cheaper microphones in the past and all suffered with buzzing on the sound and echoes the Yeti has none of these issues. I use the mic with audacity and with just stock set ups i get really rich clear sound.For the cost this rig is a you tubers dream i don't have the time to spend hours editing the sound for my videos with this its so easy.Highly recommended.Colski Drones

I like the mic… it works good. Just plug in and go. The sound quality is really good… worth the money

I am a streamer and podcaster and this mic has been a godsend. I upgraded from a Blue Snowball Ice mic, and people who watch my stream say this definitely sounds better than that mic did. I like how you can choose the different patterns so you can pick up audio on either side of the mic or all directions. I mainly use the cardiod pattern but sometimes use the one for both sides so that you can hear the music from my turntable that's on the other side of the mic. It's very easy to setup and sounds great. If you're a streamer, I recommend you download Voicemeteer Banana, which is free, because it will help you get the most out of this mic. The mic out of the box is very sensitive, it picks up the tiniest sound. Voicemeteer will allow you to setup a "noise gate" that will allow you to make it where only you speaking (or something of that volume level) will activate the mic and push sound through to your stream/podcast. I have the mic connected to a mic arm that's attached to my desk, but the included stand would work very well also, and feels very high quality. I liked the red color, and it looks nice hanging above my desk. It's so nice that I often try to get it in the webcam video of me that I push on my stream. In short, you can't go wrong getting this mic for anything. I've even used it when I dabbled in music making. It picks up my voice better than a standard mic I have did (Sennheiser XS1) in Reason 10 music software. 5 stars!

Vengo de una chavalier bastante normalito y estoy en las nubes con el Blue Yeti. Ya sé que hay mil reviews sobre este micro, pero de leerlas a usarlo hay un trecho grande. Es una maravilla. Dan tentaciones de ponerte a hacer ASMR en cuanto lo enchufas y escuchas lo que puede captar con su ganancia, incluso al mínimo.Viene embalado en una caja con acabados de calidad y muy bien presentada, lo que dejándote los euros en un producto que no es barato siempre se agradece. En Linux Mint, ha sido plug and play, el sistema lo ha reconocido inmediatamente, algo de lo que tenía dudas.QUÉ VIENE INCLUIDO:- Micrófono.- Pie de micro de sobremesa.- Cable USB.- Instrucciones en varios idiomas, incluido español.- Garantía y tarjeta para dar de alta on line el producto.CÓMO FUNCIONA:- Enchufar y utilizar. Así de sencillo.Debes orientar el micro con el logo Blue hacia la fuente de sonido, lateralmente, no hablar sobre, sino al lateral del micro. En la trasera tiene un selector para diferentes ambientes:- Estéreo para grabación de voces.- Bididercional para entrevistas.-O mnidireccional para grabar ambientes.- Cariotoide para streaming, podcast, etc.Además de otro selector para la ganancia (lo que el micro "escuchará").Con todo esto te evitas tener que trastear con configuraciones de sonido complicadas en un ecualizador, lo que es una ventaja si estás empezando y puede ser una desventaja si eres profesional.Delante, bajo el logo, tienes un botón para mutear el micro además de un selector de volumen para los auriculares (no incluidos), que puedes conectar por debajo con un jack. Lo bueno de conectar auriculares mientras emites o grabas es escuchar, sin latencia, exactamente lo que el micro está registrando, con lo que te evitas sorpresas desagradables cuando escuches lo grabado y tener que volver a repetir tomas.PROS:- Es un muy buen micro, con un rango de ganancia muy grande, muy cómodo de instalar y usar, y que podrás utilizar para multitud de escenarios de uso diferentes.- Es bonito, y eso si trabajas de cara al público también cuenta.- El amplificador que tiene este trasto es brutal, de verdad.CONTRAS:- Aunque es profesional, si eres tiquismiquis o has crecido en el universo analógico HI-Fi seguro que le vas a sacar defectos. Si tienes un oído medio sensible, como el mío, no habrá problema.- No trae ni un simple tapón de gomaespuma, y con este micro, funda anti pop y pantalla antiviento los vas a necesitar y toca comprarlos a parte.- El pie de micro incluido pesa lo suyo. Necesitarás una superficie suficiente y estable.CONCLUSIÓN:No puedo opinar sobre su uso para registrar música, pero para podcast/streaming/grabación de vídeo, etc, y con este precio, creo que es la mejor opción del mercado. No te arrepentirás.

Ho comprato questo microfono per non essere costretto ad usare quello delle cuffie che risulta difficile da distanziare oltre al fatto che non si può usare mentre si utilizzano le casse.Oltre ad essere un pezzo d'arredamento davvero bellissimo e rifinito ha una qualità audio mostruosa. Lo utilizzo per attaccarci le cuffie ed il suono è perfetto, senza alcun noise.La funzione più bella è il poter ascoltare la propria voce (e poterne regolare il volume) CON ZERO DELAY in modo da non dover urlare qualora si utilizzassero cuffie insonorizzante.Mi raccomando di settarlo per bene poiché rende al meglio se si setta il gain al valore giusto e si imposta la corretta ricezione del suono.UNICHE DUE PECCHE CHE HO TROVATO:1) Il connettore del cavo è brutto ed un una posizione un po sensibile, bisogna stare attenti a non rovinarlo nel muovere il microfono (se non si muove il microfono non si rischia nulla)2) Nel mio caso il tasto "mute" è un po ballerino e capita che nel premerlo non si prema effettivamente. Dato che tutti i miei amici lo hanno e sono l'unico ad avere tale problema non lo considero nella valutazione finale.Per 100 euro, data la robustezza ed i materiali da TOP ve lo consiglio assolutamente.

One of the very best microphones out there. Period. I was confused at first between this one and Audio Technica but finally went for this one because I was looking for mic with a stand which can be placed on the table. Great for gaming, streaming, interviewing, podcasting.Pros -1. Solid build quality, the best I have seen so far.2. Very nice color, it's not that much bright red as shown in the picture but a deep and rich red which simply awesome looking.3. Excellent capture capability.4. Simple to setup and use. Just plug and use. No need for any software or driver.5. Switch to different mode is very easy thanks to dedicated mode selector knob.6. Included 3.5 mm is powerful enough to drive high impedance headphones. I have tested with my 80 ohm Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro and it delivers excellent sound.7. Seperate microphone mute button is a great addition.Cons -1. A bit expensive.2. Hate the blue light on the mute button. It's super bright to my liking.
