This microphone has numerous settings to cope with any particular style recording format you might need. There are four patterns to choose from just be mindful of what each one does to maximize the quality of your recording. Cordial is the one you want (looks like an upside-down heart as this will record only from a single direction directly in from of the microphone. This really should have included a pop filter but those care quite cheap to get. You do not need to buy Yeti branded accessories as the threads are universal to most brands. A cheaper alternative for boom arm etc. would be the Elgato line. The best way to use this microphone with cordial setting is the place it within 8 inches of your mouth around 45 degrees off-center from you while keeping the direction of the front of the device facing your mouth. This will pick up the voice clearly without catching all your "P"s. As this is directional you will want to speak to the side of the microphone NOT on top like stand-up comedians do as it will not pick up your voice. I'm a newbie to this sort of thing so I had to search through YouTube to find best practices. The instructions should have been a little clearer in the box but are a little cryptic at best. That's the reason for the 1-star downgrade. It's great, don't worry. A final note: don't kid yourself, this is bigger than the picture shows; it's also a little on the heavy side.

This was a gift for my husband. He is really impressed with the quality of the mic and says it works great, his gaming buddies have said that he sounds good and clearly.

Whether you're recording a podcast, an interview, or a concert, the Yeti's THX-certified sound quality, integrated gain control, and four recording modes (including stereo make it a top choice for a USB microphone. The Yeti is one of the richest sounding, sonically flexible USB microphones money can buy. As a USB mic, there?s no need to have a separate audio interface, meaning it can simply connect to a laptop or PC and start recording immediately. Thanks to its tri-capsule arrangement with four different pickup patterns, there is very little the Yeti cannot capture. In some ways, it?s the ultimate point & shoot mic. As a condenser mic, the Yeti can record the nuances of speech very well, leaving little to no requirement for post-production. The Yeti mic looks very nice on its big stand but it also has a standard mic mount included on the bottom of the Yeti if you don?t want it just sitting on its stand on a desk.

My brother and I have started a new pod cast. The microphone works much better than I have expected. Clearly picks up and delivers fluidly. I was able to set it up quickly and easily. The instructions were clear and easy to understand. The microphone has some weight to it and it is bigger than a soda bottle.

If you are looking for a great USB microphone this is my favorite one. It feels solid, and sounds great, I love every feature of this microphone. Don't underestimate its size, it is definitely a Yeti. You don't have to speak directly into the microphone. There are adjustments that can change where the direction of the sound is recorded from. You can change the Gain on the mic itself, which is another added bonus.

I?ve been steaming on twitch for a couple of years now and I?ve gone through my fair share of equipment. This is my favorite mic so far. It was super easy to set up and the sound quality is the best I?ve heard so far. I would recommend it to anyone who cares about getting premium sound.

I always wanted to record a song but was never able to since I had no microphone. I just started to use this to record my new song and absolutely love how the sound comes out. So loud and so real it?s amazing. I can now proudly share my music. I highly highly recommend this for anyone who loves to sing or for anything else! Great product!!

As I have been working virtually for over six years the mic I have been using for Skype and MSTeams calls is seriously dated, so when I had the opportunity to try the Blue Microphones Yeti Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone I didn?t hesitate a moment and I was NOT disappointed. The sound is crisp and clear in both recordings and when I make/attend conference calls with the mic. That said lets get into it! In the box ? First off the packaging setup was stellar, my box came with lots of handling damage but the Yeti mic was pristine and unscathed. Everything was foam padded with foam that was designed to hug the mic. Inside we have the microphone and stand, the USB cable, and the instructions. Setup/Use ? As for assembly/setup there is really not much to it. The Yeti mic ships upside down in the stand and to deploy simply loosen the friction nuts on each side slightly, rotate the mic to an upright and vertical position then re-tighten. As for windows setup (I use Windows 10) it was simply plugging in the mic, and windows does the rest. The Yeti mic was installed automatically and was ready to use in literally two minutes. The mic has four sets of controls, a mute button and volume level control for the headphones on the front, with a gain control, and a pattern control on the back. You simply open the software you wish to use, set the appropriate pattern for your setup (I used Cardiod) and you're good to go. Speaking of patterns the Yeti mic can bet set for Cardioid, Bi-Directional, Stereo, and Omnidirectional. My final thoughts on the Blue Microphones Yeti are that this is a quality, well built mic, easy to setup and use, with amazing quality in any way you use it, whether it be calls, recording, or streaming!

I bought this microphone to use it on my podcast as well as playing video games with and it works so amazingly. The clarity of the sound is great. It is very easy to set up and the stand that it comes with sits great on my desk. Highly recommend at this price point.

High quality USB microphone. Great for recording podcasts, voice-overs, and/or use in delivering webinars. Multiple settings allow single, direct capture or use in a group setting. There is a reason this product makes it onto many "best of" lists, and I can recommend this as a perfect entry-level, multi-use microphone.

I did a lot of research before I settled on this microphone. All of the YouTube reviews were accurate in that this is an excellent product. It's very easy to set up, just plug it in. It shows up right away as an audio option if you're using a streaming platform and you want to select your device. I highly recommend it.

I love this mic, which instantly transformed my webinar and podcast interview audio from thin and overly sibilant to rich and 100% professional. Simple to use and superb in quality, I’ve already recommended it to numerous colleagues.

I found the Blue Yeti microphone super easy setup — just plug into to USB and adjust the input/output settings on the Mac to get going. The recorded sound is crisp and clear. Although my use was just one-way, I find the two-sided and conference room inputs to be very nice features that worked exactly as I expected them to. This a great mic for getting started with a podcasting setup.

I record live demo’s and presentations and the sound quality using either computer speakers or even an expensive headset made for video presentations is nothing compared to the Blue Microphones Yeti microphone. It is far superior when it comes to he audio coming through crisp and clear without end ambient noise. Not only does it help during live video but also with the playback. The audio comes through clear and I have received many compliments on how professional my presentations and demo’s come through and how professional they come across. I would recommend this microphone to anyone looking to increase the quality of their presentations or recordings.

have never used a microphone before but this definitely has to be top quality! The Yeti USB Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone sound is amazing. It was extremely easy to set up using my computer and I have had a blast using it! Everybody in my family has been using it. I have enjoyed using the different functions. I may or may not have acted like I was a radio show host in my kitchen lol. You just can't help yourself with this microphone. It is just too cool.

This is a great starter microphone for someone looking to do voice over work or construct your own videos. I needed one for my product review blogs, and this was very simple to use with great results. I recommend playing around with the different settings because you may find a sound better than you imagined. The base is super sturdy and it takes up a little room, but I prefer it to a flimsier option. I like a solid piece of equipment. Tone and clarity really impressed me. I would recommend this to beginners and those who have experience alike, there is something appealing for all.

The Yeti Blackout Microphone is awesome! The setup is a breeze straight from the box and it’s so easy to use. I really like how sturdy it is and the professional look it gives it. I also like the different pattern options It has allowing me to choose the one I need. I use it for streaming and for recordings and the sound quality is phenomenal. Everything I have recorded has been so clear without any background noise or static sounds. I am so pleased with this microphone and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to start recording.

Since COVID required moving all of my classes online, I decided to learn how to create lecture videos. My first feeble attempts sounded awful with the built in mic that's on my work laptop. So, I decided to order a real one. Enter the Blue Yeti. I can honestly say that this mic makes the world of difference, and I now can't imagine using anything else. Trust me. If you're in the market for a mic, you really can't go wrong with this one.

First, I buy from Adorama because they deliver on time (often early), have fair pricing and on the one time I had to return an item it was a no hassle procedure. I picked this Mic due to the reputation of the Blue brand. I had worked with their mics before. Their clarity and crisp capture are unmatched in my opinion. I came across this unit by chance. One of my Voice Over talent performers brought his along to a recording session and I was instantly impressed with the build quality of this mic. Its all metal and sturdy. The finish is smooth and very professional in its look. The simplicity of its selection buttons made it easy to operate allowing me to recommend it to beginners to the Voice Over industry. I was so impressed I grabbed my phone and was ordering it from the Adorama site not 5 min. after I heard it's first recording. Now that I have my own unit it's in daily use as an addition to my editing suite. The unit is a solid purchase.
