Too bulky and heavy for roving reporting; controls sited inconveniently
We loved the Yeti's versatility and the way it made vocals sound rich and radio-friendly. It has enough tonal nuances to make recording vocals and guitar straight into GarageBand satisfying and is easily good enough for recording small live events with mu...
Abstract: Blue Microphones' Yeti is a USB condenser microphone. It has three capsules and four pattern settings, which means it can be used in a number of environments and for different purposes. You can record in stereo or one of three patterns: cardoid, where ...
Four polar patterns, Excellent sound quality, Mostly made of metal, Lasts for years
Thin pads on base can lead to hum
The Blue Yeti is excellent value for money as it's sturdily built, sounds great and lasts for years. Slightly cheaper equivalents such as the plastic JOBY Wavo POD are available but here you get what you pay for, such as a metal body and a wider range of...

Affordable, Solid build quality, Plugnplay, no drivers needed, Excellent for voiceovers and narration, Headphone jack allows audio level monitoring in realtime, Optional desktop stand is highly adjustable, Includes long USB cord
Doesn't come with a pop filter, Large and heavy, Integrated buttons and knobs are cheap, Desk top stand does not absorb vibrations well so it will affect audio in some situation
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-$150 price tag and provi...
Excellent sound quality, Flexible design with multiple microphone patterns,
Overbuilt stand makes mounting the microphone awkward,
The Blue Microphones Yeti offers high-quality recording in a USB microphone, making it perfect for a home-recording setup that isn’t ready for a dedicated studio. ...
Hard controls on mic. Excellent audio recording quality.
Controls on back of mic are awkward. Cardoid mode can sound thin.
If you need to capture quality live recordings on your Mac, the Yeti will definitely deliver--and you get to look like an old-timey newscaster.Yeti...
