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

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'll join the long list of reviewers singing the praises of the Blue Yeti microphone. My online demo recordings have taken a big jump in quality since I started using it. (Update March 2012: two different people have asked me "Why does your video sound so good?" and "How do you get your voice to be so clear?" Most people don't understand the importance of audio quality, and thus microphone quality, when creating video.) If you are upgrading from a cheaper microphone, you will immediately discover some challenges when using a professional mic like the Blue Yeti. Because the yeti picks up so much more sound, including many types of noise, your first recording may actually sound worse than before! Here are some tips for solving these problems. There are two types of unwanted noise, contact noise (made when you bump your desk, the mic stand, or the cord) and background noise. The best way to eliminate contact noise is by using a shock mount. Be sure to get one that will handle the Blue Yeti's 3"/75mm diameter. As an alternative, find a piece of thick, dense, soft foam (or a thick pillow!), set that on your desk, and set the Yeti in its included stand on top of that. This is bulky and imperfect, but cheap. Route all the cords where you won't bump and tug them while recording. Blue Microphones also sells a shock mount for Yeti called the Radius Blue Microphones Radius Microphone Shock Mount . External noise is different. Pros record in a sound-deadened studio, which is out of most people's reach. But you can get 80% of the way there for free. Here's what I do: Start in a carpeted room, not one with hardwood or concrete floors. I use a laptop because they are quieter than desktops. Put the laptop on a pillow, and put another pillow in between the laptop and the mic, so you have to reach over it to get to the keyboard. These two pillows minimize any laptop fan noise. Now stretch a comforter over your head, so that it drapes down to the sides and front and back (the front and back are most critical). You will look silly, especially if you are at work, but the comforter will effectively deaden most of the outside noise and echos. I lean three poles up against walls and furniture, then drape the comforter over them. Turn off noisy appliances (air conditioner, heater, refrigerator), send the kids or coworkers out to play, and you will have a somewhat soundproof booth with minimal echos. Trust me, it works, but I do record at home instead of at the office. Next, play with the recording patterns on the Blue Yeti. I use cardioid, which picks up just from the front. But you may get richer sound from the stereo or bidirectional patterns. Omnidirectional will likely just pick up more noise, but give it a try. Now that you've eliminated the noise, you'll want to create the best recording possible. Here's how: First of all, stand up and face forward or even a bit upward when recording, to open up your vocal cords. Standing up has a bigger impact on your voice quality than anything else you can do. Next, take deep breaths, slow down, and pause in between sentences or at logical points. These pauses are easy to edit out later, and they give you easy places to cut out bad takes to replace with good ones. I routinely need to record each sentence or passage 2-3 times to get it right. Speak right into the mic, from just a few inches away. This boosts your volume with respect to any background noise level, and improves the quality of the recording. If you listen to the video review attached here on Amazon by the custom tailor guy, you'll hear how much better his voice sounds when he briefly moves the mic close to his face (at 4:30 on the timeline). Next, use a pop filter. This gizmo puts a piece of fabric or screen mesh in between your mouth and the mic to filter out the awful puffing sound made when you say words like "pop." Try it with your mouth close to the mic and see. I use the Blue Microphones Universal Pop Filter , which is only a few dollars more than the cheap black plastic ones, but is made of stainless steel and works great. The Blue Yeti delivers awesome sound quality. With these tips you'll be able to take full advantage of what it can do. Good luck!

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!

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

Todo perfecto. Llegó muy rápido y funciona perfecto.

Amazing quality, surprised by how heavy it was, very robust. I get great comments on the mic quality. One customer asked what kind of bird I was keeping whilst on a video call. This was a bird outside in my garden tweeting, that is how sensitive it is. Would definitely buy again.

The Blue Microphones Yeti USB microphone in the blackout finish is a standout choice for anyone looking to achieve professional sound quality with minimal setup.

Overall, it’s a reliable, all-in-one microphone that has earned its reputation as a favourite among content creators and streamers.

Se rompió mi anterior micrófono Samson de gama media/baja y decidí dar un salto de precio y calidad. Después de informarme medianamente del tema decidí por este modelo clásico de Blue Yeti. No sé cómo será el modelo más nuevo, pero este que fue la primera edición y tiene una relación calidad precio inmejorable; comprendo que no lo bajen de precio aún haciendo ya varios años que está en el mercado. Yo lo compré en una oferta flash a un buen precio de menos de 100 euros y a día de hoy ya no sabría grabar con otro micrófono de gama inferior. Lo que se refiere al micrófono en si, tiene un precio más que asequible con el que se pueden obtener resultados profesionales, aun contando con una conexión USB lo cual no es nada habitual en micrófonos de tan alta calidad. Su tamaño con la peana es algo grande, de unos 30 centímetros de altura, y su peso con peana incluida debe rondar alrededor de un kilo. El peso del conjunto es considerable pero denota calidad de materiales y una buena construcción con sensación robusta y Premium. No obstante, el hecho del peso no supone ningún inconveniente a la hora de su manejo, pues su tamaño y peso tampoco son desorbitados ya que está pensado para usar con su peana que es reclinable o con un brazo telescópico, eso sí, en el supuesto de necesitar un brazo deberemos utilizar uno relativamente fuerte y que sea compatible con el micrófono que se deberá conectar mediante una rosca hembra que está en la base del micrófono (mirar segunda foto). En cuanto a la grabación, el micrófono consta de una rueda frontal para la ganancia y otra para el modo de grabación de entre cuatro modos seleccionables: estéreo, bidireccional para entrevista, unidireccional para podcast y que no se oiga sonido ambiente, y omnidireccional para que pueda captar todos los sonidos ambientales en 360º, pudiendo conseguir así grabaciones en todo tipo de circunstancias según la necesidad. La calidad de grabación es excelente, y más aún tratándose de un micrófono de este precio. Con una buena ecualización los resultados no tienen nada que envidiar a cualquier otro micrófono mucho más caro de uso profesional. Utilizado para grabar diferentes palos del Flamenco con Guitarra Clásica o Española, Cajón y palmas. Cuándo muestro mis grabaciones a otras personas que no son precisamente neófitas en el mundo de la música se quedan boquiabiertos, literalmente me dicen que si no les hubiera dicho nada habrían pensado que se ha producido en un estudio de grabación profesional. En definitiva, un micrófono altamente recomendable más aún si tienes presupuesto ajustado. No te arrepentirás.

Excellent
