Customers like the sound quality of the microphone. They say it picks up everything clearly, has the best tone, and is ready to record good audio.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After removing the item from the box, very easy, I plugged it into my computer. The computer automatically downloaded updated drivers. I am using windows 7. The small instruction book walked me through the process of setting up the mic and adjusting volume levels. Again, very easy.
I them proceeded to open up my recording software. I spent 30 to 45 minutes testing the mic and just messing around with it. Wow! I am no professional sound technician, but I have to say the sound quality is fantastic. Well worth the money for decent sound.
I am in the process of producing pod-casts and videos and wanted decent sound quality. I didn't want to sound like I was in the bathroom or inside of a fish bowl. With this microphone I may not look professional, but I will sure sound like it! I did order the blue pop filter to go with it, however, it has not arrived yet.
I also ordered a video camera system and am excited to try out the microphone with the video! I am no expert by any means, however, I highly recommend this microphone for making videos or pod-casts.
Oh, I haven't found any cons yet, but I just got it! :-)
The Blue Yeti Microphone provides you with crystal clear recording. It has four different settings with wide range gain levels. It doesn't require any software download, which is nice. Just take it out of the box and plug it in to your computer.
When I first got it, I played around with the settings a bit. I have two large tower speakers hooked up to my computer and i recorded a short sentence. I told my brother to step out of the room and I played back the sentence, and then I spoke aloud that same sentence. He couldn't tell the difference between the recording and my actual voice.
I play upright bass and this mic picks up all the low and earthy tones. I love it.
Pros:
Cool sleek design
Multiple Settings
Crystal clear sound
Strong and sturdy (I dropped it couple times and the thing doesn't seem to want to break, so extra points for that!)
Cons:
The stand picks up ALL sound from the base, so beware table top users. Get a mount for this mic, it won't pick up movement sounds from shifting around on your desk.
The knobs used to tighten the mic into place feel like they won't last too long.
The volume knob is a little loose. Could just be my mic though.
Bonus Tip: When you plug your new mic into your laptop/desktop, make sure you set your default recording device to the Yeti. When I first plugged it in and played back my recordings, it sounded like crap. I didn't realize I needed to configure the settings on my computer first.
I started off with a boom-mounted XLR condenser that I bought on Amazon for $30, and had to do a ton of post prod to get the voice quality anywhere near professional enough for video, and it still recorded hot. The Yeti blew the quality away right out of the box, and with a little tweaking in settings it's a super voice quality for my tutorials, webinars, and sales videos. It's a super sensitive microphone, which I appreciate. But it means that if you have any noise in the room it will get picked up! Sound comes through clear and articulate.
While obviously not a mic that's meant for any level of high-end professional stuff (studio recording or something) for YouTubers, Vloggers, Gamers, and like me voiceover professionals, it's the standard by which other desktop mics are measured.
The second best thing about the Yeti is it's ease of use. I use a Macintosh, and literally you just plug it in and it's ready to record good audio. In the Mac you have to select the input/ouput in Settings, but the system has no problem recognizing it. Out of box audio and setup is superb.
Would definitely recommend.
98% of people don't need the Pro. The regular Yeti is a USB interface, which means it's plug-and-play. The Pro is XLR and isolates the channel separately so you can do extra stuff with it. If you're recording for your blog, YouTube channel, or something like that, you won't need the Pro until you're ready for a real studio-type setup.
It's easy to setup, you just plug it in a usb port and it works within seconds. It connects via mini usb so if you brake it or misplace it, you can get another for 5 bucks or less.
The sound is incredible. It has 4 different settings, Stereo, Cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional. I've really only used cardioid so far but it sounds magnificent! It picks up my voice clearly. It's great for voiceovers and other various voice recordings.
It's easy to use, regardless of previous experience in audio. You could know nothing about microphones and be able to use this (especially since it comes with a ~10 page quick guide that explains all of its features and how to use them).
I also really like how it has a headphone jack for zero latency, real time output.
It has a standard threaded mic mount so if you want to use a different stand, it should fit it (haven't tried this personally but I assume since it's standard it should fit most stands)
The base is very neat. It allows you to move the mic to a set position and then after a simple twist of a screw, hold it there in place.
It's very user friendly.
Whether you know a lot about mics or a little, this mic is definitely your best bet for the price range

I needed a boom arm for which I bought "SlideNBuy® Microphone Suspension Mic Clip Adjustable Boom Studio Scissor Arm Stand For Blue Yeti Snowball, Constructed Premium Quality Metals For Professional Streaming, Voice-Over, Recording, Games" .
Die Ton-Qualität ist zwar noch etwas entfernt von perfektem Studio-Klang, wer aber nicht unbedingt vorhat damit wohlklingenden Gesang aufzuzeichnen sondern es für Podcasts, Lifestreams und ähnliches benutzen möchte, der wird mit dem Mikro auf jeden Fall glücklich.
Einzig etwas störend ist das es so empfindlich ist das ich meine externen Festplatten vom Schreibtisch verbannen musste da man die Vibrationen anstonsten hören konnte. Aber das ist ja nichts was man dem Mikro anlasten sollte.
Ein Popschutz ist, so meine Erfahrung, nicht unbedingt nötig. Schadet aber natürlich nach wie vor nicht und verbessert auch wie gewohnt den Klang. Zudem bietet das Blue Yeti einen Kopfhörer Anschluss für Echtzeit Monitorisierung. Heißt: Man kann hören was das Mirkofon hört ohne auch nur die geringste Zeitverzögerung zu haben. Sehr gut und sehr Praktisch, erwarte ich bei einem solchen Produkt aber auch.
Aus einem mit unbekannten Grund funktioniert die Einstellung von Front- auf Surround-Sound nur sehr begrenzt da man in beiden Einstellungen eine Person auf der Rückseite des Mikrfons klar und deutlich hören kann. Da mich das aber nicht weiter bei meinen Tätigkeiten stört habe ich es mal nicht in meine Bewertung einfließen lassen.
Gekauft habe ich das Mirkofon vor etwas mehr als zwei Jahren und es funktioniert noch so gut wie am ersten Tag.
Sofern ich nicht meine Qualitätsansprüche noch weiter erhöhe würde ich mir das Blue Yeti jeder Zeit wieder kaufen. Sehr gutes Gerät.
Devo ammettere che questo sia il miglior ed il più elegante microfono USB che abbia mai provato.
Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
Ovviamente questo l'ho acquistato dopo aver provato altri 3 microfoni,tutti con dei problemi di suono,ma questo non da nessun problema!
Un consiglio,non tenete il microfono vicino al PC,essendo molto sensibile potrebbe registrare il rumore proveniente da esso.
Consigliato nonostante l'alto costo.
