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

A dramatic improvement
First of all, all me to state that those who wrote poor reviews for this mic must be quite privileged musicians with a load of experience or audio engineers who have an allegiance to a certain brand, because they are all sorely mistaken. The Yeti is, in my opinion as a singer/songwriter searching for decent recording equipment for the last year, a fantastic, well priced microphone for people looking to record quality sound. It seems quite versatile and craftily engineered.I have spent the last year in a hotel in the middle of London recording my guitar and vocals on garageband through the mic on my computer. It sounded like complete crap…and not because I am an awful musician, but because the microphone my MacBook Pro wasn’t up to the standards I need for recording, maybe I was too close or maybe too far away, the point is that it is not possible to judge a proper distance from the mic as it is minuscule, and difficult to locate. In addition, the plosives and many harder guitar strums were enrobed in static and just sounded awful. I tweaked the equalizer as much as I could to make them sound manageable, but, alas, I no longer need to do that. Thanks to my Yeti.Of course a usb mic won’t sound as thrilling as a standard microphone suited up with proper impedance cables and monitor buddies, but when you buy a mic that connects via usb, one’s standards cannot be held too high. This mic, with such appropriate standards in mind, met and surpassed what I had anticipated. The vocals are clear, the guitar is clear, and because of that effects through garage band work more effectively. No longer am I struggling with shrill sounds and bassy guitar twangs, no longer am I wasting all my time clarifying the songs, I am simply recording, editing, and feeling so much better about my music.It is true, I have never played in a studio, or used thousand dollar mics, but it is also true that I do not have the money neither for time in a recording studio in London, nor for the more expensive Blue microphones, thereby, I went this route and I couldn’t be any happier. If you are struggling with clarity and play more mellow/soft rock/pop rock/acoustic/ambient/coffee shop etc music, then this is a real advantage for you in the small studio you are beginning to assemble in your room or basement or apartment. If you are a heavy rocker, maybe it isn’t a good choice, but I haven’t attempted screaming into this mic yet…probably wouldn’t be smart in a hotel in central London.As for travel, it isn’t a exactly the best portable size, but in this case I don’t think a quality mic will be. Maybe you can try the Snowflake, but I’ll bet my insignificant income that it will not be as munificent. Also, G-Band is the only program I have used with it. It is very compatible, though I will say I was confused at first as to why there was no sound coming out of my computer, but I quickly realized that there is a headphone jack built into the mic for a good reason. It may seem like a possible flaw, but I think it makes things much easier. And do yourself a favor, toss the earbuds and buy some real recording headphones, you know? The ones that cost more than six bucks at TJ Maxx. I am not saying to buy Beats, I am just saying that everything sounds like a band of gorillas pounding on tin cans through the buds–and maybe you’re saying “no, I have some stellar buds!” Well good for you, I haven’t found any so don’t rub it in.I gave this five stars because I don’t know any better, but four stars seems stupid and awkward, its like the age of twenty, not quite twenty one but have been drunk since eighteen, it is a four in the terms of mics that I have experienced, but under the given conditions it is definitely a five. I say buy it if you meet my described criterium, but who am I but a simple singer/songwriter.Enjoy!

Exactly what I needed
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!

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.

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.
