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 – Blue

First class, worked straight away on my Mac.Heavy, solid and quality. Spotted this often used by content creators online so thought it must be good.Be better to be able to buy one without the sturdy base as first thing I did detach base, put it on a stand and put the base in the cupboard.

You just plug in USB for Windows 11 and it will automatically install the drivers. Just make sure you put the input level to 100% in Windows sound settings, then you can play around with the input gain level on the mic itself. I've got the mic about 1 metre away from me and it still picks up my speech perfectly. This is an excellent mic and very easy to use.

Couldn't have gotten a better mic for recording audio for my videos! I have seen many YouTubers and streamers that I enjoy using this brand of mic and now that I have one of my own, I definitely see why it's so popular. The cost for the quality and easy use is very reasonable and 100% worth it.I works perfectly and is very easy to use. It has good balance and adjustability and I am happy to say that the audio quality is brilliant. The box is also compact, so it is easy to put away and store it when it's not in use. I got mine in blue and it looks great!In my experience, it is perfectly compatible with Discord, OBS Recording Studio and also Voicemod.

So I ordered this and have been using this for past week or so now.. And it's not a bad mic, handy that it has gain controls, mute etc on the mic its self.. Fantastic! So I have to admit the sound quality isn't the best if it isn't ran through something such as voice meter or anything as such. There isn't really enough base in the voice and the sound seems really thinned out. But over all the mics pretty decent so I give it more a 7 out of 10.

I've been using this for recording voiceovers for instructional videos, and it is so much clearer and more professional sounding than when I was using the microphone built in to my headset. It's quite adjustable, both on the mic itself, and in the software. It's big and heavy, but that makes it sturdy. It doesn't come with a pop guard, but these can be bought separately, and don't cost much.

I work from home 95% of the time and attending many online meetings/calls every day.My hearing is not the best and I need superior audio sound, not just clarity but volume as well AND I need to be heard clearly at the other end without sounding like I am either in a box and echo or sound quiet and 10 feet away.The other criteria of any mic I have is that I MUST be able to mute the mic quickly - working from home has some disadvantages of being interrupted suddenly.I can use a decent expensive headset with a boom mic, and that is great apart from the max volume is not enough for me and wearing a headset for most of the day gives me sweaty ears (errrrgh).I have tried some USB desk mics at around £20, but none of them performed unless I have my mouth right next to the mic... sort of negates the purpose of the desk mic - and so have always resorted back to my headset with boom mic.I then took the plunge and forked out £85 for this Yeti Professional USB Microphone - having no experience of this sort of mic, I had no expectations other than hoping it would be better than the desk mics I had previously tried.What can I say - FANTASTIC - I was totally blown away by this mic - gain control on the mic pickup, so that I have the mic about 2ft in front of me and the people at the other of my calls haven't spotted the difference to when I use a boom mic.As for the headphone volume - ARE YOU KIDDING ME - UNBELIEVEABLE THE VOLUME AND CLARITY I can get now - at last I can hear at the volume I need. Even the softness speaking people on calls I can hear - I just turn up the volume - there is no way I could ever go to max volume on this.And of course ... my favourite button... the mute button - it works a treat.Yes, £85 for a mic sounds a lot and I was skeptical paying that much not knowing if it would give me what I needed - but this for me is a GAME CHANGER for my work - I cannot recommend this enough for home working.A definite 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me - if it were a rating out of 100, then I would rate it 100 with no hesitation.

This mic is such good quality and for the cost it's incredible. I have had such great use of this mic and there are a good few settings to play with. If you are unsure about purchasing you won't be disappointed!Extra pointersIf you want to use your phone get a USB to lightning converter, I would suggest getting one with an extra lightning port to charge your phone while using it to provide enough power.You will also require an aux cord if you want to connect to a camera for filming as you need to connect it to both laptop/computer and camera for this.

I tried out 3 other mics before ending up with this one and I'm happy with it, especially after discovering how to download software (Logitech G Hub) which links to the free Audacity software for recording. Infinite possibilities! I am using this to record musical instruments for my YouTube Video and voiceover, using different settings for each which you can save (and edit) on the G Hub software so you're always using the best setting. Also, please take a look at YouTube videos that explain how to set up the actual mic itself for the best recording experience. It took a while to trawl through YouTube videos to find out how to do this and that it can be done, so hopefully this review will fast-track others through the process. I also tried a few boom arms which claimed to be compatible with the Blue Yeti mic but which weren't. Finally I found one which will definitely work with it (the right screw thread size) but it wasn't cheap. But, all in all, I'm pleased with this mic.
