SUMMARY Now, out of all of the things that I have reviewed so far, none of them has been as prominent and as 'ancient' as the Blue Yeti. Yet again and again, it is praised as one of the best microphones for around £100. EXPERIENCE The microphone has 4 recording modes: Stereo, Cardioid, Bidirectional, and omnidirectional microphone for recording. Stereo records audio from every direction, which is good for picking up audio from all around the room, and with that, picks up unwanted audio. Cardioid is good for for podcasts and voiceovers since it picks up audio only in front of the microphone. Bidirectional records audio from in front and behind the microphone. Suitable for interviews. Now, I'm sure you know of the Blue Yeti, but is it still worth buying as a starter microphone to YouTube for example? Simple answer, yes. The reason to this is because it is an established brand. Meaning that it will stay that way for time to come. At £99, this microphone still produces crisp audio even for today's standards. The microphone comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can monitor your sound straight from the microphone with zero lag. At the front of the microphone there is a mute switch, and volume control for the monitors. Next to the headphone jack, you will find a mini USB port for powering the Blue yeti. The microphone is very well built, and is predominantly made of premium materials like aluminium. However, purchasing a pop filter of any sort will help the microphone pick up less background noise, so it is highly suggested that you purchase that too with the microphone. SOUND Now, the sound it records is fantastic for the price. As said before, it produces crisp, clear audio, and when paired with something like Audacity, you will get some fantastic results. Out of the box, however, the microphone does pick up slightly too much background noise for my liking. Although, why you may have never seen many complain about that is because that can easily be edited out in a program like audacity very easily. The four recording modes and customisation I found to be very useful. I liked being able to easily switch recording modes depending on the situation. I found myself mostly using Cardioid, but obviously your preferences vary. PROS AND CONS Pros Amazing sound for the price Well built Good customisation of sound Cons Too much background sound FINAL VERDICT In the end, I’ve found the Blue Yeti to be an excellent USB microphone for those who are serious about recording quality audio from their PC or Mac computer. The build quality, features, and performance are exceptional for the sub-£100 price tag and provide great value on the . If you’re looking to capture higher audio resolutions or want to use an XLR output then you’ll need to spend the extra money on Blue’s Yeti Pro, but for most consumers the standard Yeti model will be more than enough. I am satisfied with my purchase of the Blue Yeti and I would recommend it to any potential buyers as it is likely the best candidate at this price-point. Read more

Super Quality , Value For Money Read more

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! Read more

I bought this after dealing with an absolutely terrible $80 microphone and I've been completely satisfied with this microphone. The packaging was solid. There were no rattling parts and it had the "box within a box" packaging style that just assures it's survival of shipping. When I unpackaged this thing I was expecting some assembly to be needed. In other reviews I heard that it's almost a foot tall. However they tackled this in a very ingenious way. The microphone was just swiveled completely upside down on its stand making it super compact and pre-built. The stand itself is incredibly sturdy and keeps the microphone really stable, one thing I've noticed is that the microphone can still pick up the rumbling of my typing or other things on my desk, that being said it was never advertised any other way and why would you be typing while recording something? The microphone is great quality, its nice and heavy and sturdy and built with good materials. There is talk that the knobs seem fragile but I have to say that it's SUPER nitpicking. The volume knob in the front is the only one of the 3 that seems brittle but unless you try to pick up the mic with it or something I'm sure it's fine. The other knobs on the product are SOLID. I never really thought that knobs could feel more sturdy than sturdy but these ones do that. I've recorded a couple things so far and the quality of this mic meets the same quality as my friends $200 microphone. (I dont know it's name so I cant provide it (It isn't available on amazon.ca or .com anyways)) The highs are crisp without making the recording squeal and the gain knob allows you to easily adjust its sensitivity for whatever recordings you're hoping to make. The stereo option is really cool though I haven't personally had any reason to use it other than to move around it going "wooooahoooooooaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooaaaahhhhooooo" and listening to it change around on my headphones. It maintains it's sound quality throughout all of its modes including stereo. Over all I'm incredibly impressed with this entire product. The sound is great, the quality of the hardware is better than expected, it's sturdy, the packaging was incredibly secure it has a plethora of input types, the stand is just as sturdy and quality as the mic itself and its design is great. Its slick and clean looking. Something you would be happy to have sitting on your desk. Get yourself a spring mount thing to get rid of any potential rattling of the surface it's sitting on and I assure you that if you have any low budget or hobbyist projects, this microphone can absolutely meet your demands.

J'utilise le micro Yeti depuis quelques années et j'en suis très satisfait. C'est un micro USB qui se branche facilement sur mon ordinateur et qui offre une qualité de son exceptionnelle. Il a quatre modes de captation différents (cardioïde, bidirectionnel, omnidirectionnel et stéréo) qui s'adaptent à différents usages. Par exemple, le mode cardioïde est idéal pour enregistrer une voix ou un instrument isolé, tandis que le mode omnidirectionnel permet de capter le son ambiant ou une conversation à plusieurs. Je l'utilise principalement en mode cardioïde pour le streaming ou le gaming et je n'ai aucun problème de bruit de fond ou de distorsion. Le micro est très solide et bien fini, avec un design élégant et sobre. Il est livré avec un support réglable et robuste, qui permet de le poser sur un bureau ou de le fixer sur un bras articulé. Il dispose également d'une prise casque pour écouter le son en direct, d'un bouton de contrôle du volume, d'un bouton de coupure du son et d'un sélecteur de directivité. Le seul inconvénient que je lui trouve est qu'il est assez volumineux et lourd, ce qui peut poser problème si on veut le transporter ou le fixer. Je recommande ce micro à tous ceux qui cherchent un matériel de qualité professionnelle pour leurs projets audiovisuels ou tout simplement pour communiquer. Il offre un rapport qualité-prix imbattable et une facilité d'utilisation appréciable. C'est un investissement rentable qui vous permettra de réaliser des enregistrements de haute qualité. Read more

Logo que chegou, a primeira frase que falei sozinho ainda com a caixa fechada: "Que caixa pesada!!" Abri a caixa e veio a segunda frase: "Ah, está explicado todo esse peso!!!". Para todos terem uma ideia do que estou falando, somente o microfone é maior e mais largo do que aquele copo de requeijão de vidro. Só o microfone tem 19,5 cm aproximadamente de altura por quase 7 cm de largura. Bem robusto. Típico microfone de mesa!!! Com o seu suporte (que pesa bastante) ele vai medir pouco mais de 29 cm de altura (coloquei uma foto com a régua para todos perceberem). Produto de qualidade superior. Microfone muito bem feito, acabamento fosco, ridiculamente fácil de usar. Coloca o fio que vem com ele na porta USB e coloca um fone de ouvido (com ou sem microfone, tanto faz) e pronto! Já está funcionando! É possível configurar a melhor captura para o seu uso entre Cardioide, Omnidirecional, Bidirecional e Estéreo (essa informação também está ali nas fotos). Estou muito satisfeito com essa compra. Quem usa para streaming estará muito bem amparado. Ainda é possível utilizá-lo em aplicativos de reunião como Zoom e Microsoft Teams (testei estes 2). Não é barato, então faça um breve questionamento para você mesmo dos seus interesses e resultados. Se você precisa de um áudio muito bom nos seus vídeos (gravados ou streamings ao vivo) e apresentações, não tenho a menor dúvida que este produto é para você! Read more

Blue yeti es una buena marca, muy sencilla de utilizar si planeas utilizarlo solo conectándolo a tu computadora, pero cabe resaltar que el sonido mejora muchísimo mas si haces uso de sus programas y de equipos externos de sonido. Lo único es que a mi micrófono pese a limpiarlo constantemente le salieron unas manchas al rededor del botón de mute y en la parte trasera. Pero no es algo que afecte al dispositivo ni que genere un cambio en la textura del metal, simplemente es algo visual que por el momento no he logrado quitar con nada, pero Fuera de lo estético es un producto que funciona 10 de 10. Lo único que debes en cuenta es que es un micrófono muy potente y eso hace que pueda captar incluso sonidos que parecen muy lejanos. Pero nada que configuraciones o filtros antipop y otras cosas no puedan solucionar. Llego con un buen embalaje, en el tiempo indicado, y en perfectas condiciones. Recomendado Read more

Easy to install. Is pretty bulky and heavy. Not sure if it adds that much more to my calls but maybe I need to play around with it some more. You will need a good headset to attach to the mic so you make full use of it Read more
