Exceptional Microphone for All Your Audio Needs
The Logitech Blue Yeti USB Microphone is hands down one of the best microphones I’ve used for recording, streaming, and podcasting. Straight out of the box, it’s easy to set up—just plug it into your PC or Mac, and you’re good to go. No complicated drivers or software needed.The audio quality is outstanding. Whether you’re recording vocals, streaming games, or hosting a podcast, the clarity and richness of the sound are top-notch. The built-in gain control, mute button, and headphone output are thoughtful additions that make live monitoring and adjustments incredibly convenient.One of the standout features is the multiple polar patterns (cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional, and stereo), which make this microphone versatile for different recording setups. From solo work to group interviews, it performs flawlessly.The build quality is also impressive. The mic feels sturdy and professional, and the adjustable stand is solid, making it easy to position for optimal sound capture.If you’re serious about high-quality audio and want a reliable, user-friendly microphone, the Logitech Blue Yeti is worth every penny. It’s an investment that elevates any audio project. Highly recommended!

Not fit for purpose
Had an issue after a few months where the input broke. Was annoyed but the supplier sent a new one with no issue. Very impressed with them. Not happy with Amazon but the supplier was great.

The Blue Yeti, an amazing device.
I am a tech hoarder, and I didn't just want to stick to the little mic on my Turtle Beach headset... I needed something.... bigger, more powerful. I have seen many setup videos on YouTube, most of which reccomend the "Blue Yeti" microphone for their commentaries, and I have to say, their voices sounded very crisp for a YouTube video. Also, a friend of mine recently bought one for himself and he recommended it and loved it.Anyway, I took the internet's advice and bought the Blue Yeti microphone due to amazing reviews and popularity - and I wasn't wrong!This microphone is so powerful, and picks up every detail around it. Don't make the mistake of dropping something on the floor, or having noisy relatives live in your house, it will pick all that up too! Of course, this can be resolved by reducing the gain option on the back, and talking closer to the mic. This option is used to eliminate and reduce the noises captured from further away. Sort of like a volume option for your voice.The microphone also has 4 audio capturing options:- Stereo- Cardioid- Omnidirectional- BidirectionalSTEREO -This option captures audio using two capsules. When you play the audio you recorded back, the sounds may sound slighly different in the left and right ears. This adds more depth, and more of a 3 dimensional environment for your recordings. This is apparently useful for sound capturing that adds more immersion to the listening experience, such as a listening to a choir.CARDIOID -My personal favourite. This captures only what's in front of the mocrophone. Useful for speaking to my friends online and recording YouTube commentaries. It's great, because all the other sounds behind and next to the mic are more ignored prioritising your voice over your computer fans.OMNIDIRECTIONAL -Captures 360 degrees of audio. Nothing is ignored and all sounds surrounding the mic is captured.BIDIRECTIONAL -This option isn't very useful for me, but it is for employees... I guess! This allows the microphone to capture only what is in front, and the back and ignored what is to the left and right. Great for interviews.This card, when plugged in is also recognised as a sound card. It works literally out of the box. No driver installations or lack of support on older Operating Systems. It works on MAC, Windows and Linux. This also means that the mic can utilise a headphone jack located under the microphone so you can hear both your computer and your voice at the same time. This gives me a great idea of what my voice sounds like for other people and stops me screaming over the muffled noises of my headset.CONS OF THE MIC:- Due to it's extreme sensitivity, it picks up lots of background noise. I resolved this by further purchasing a virtual audio cable and live reducing the noise in Adobe Audition. It also picks up unnecessary thumping noises when you type or lighly tap your desk, and it captured the humming of my computer running on the desk.How do I resolve this? Well, you can solve these issues by purchasing a boom arm (I have ordered the Rode PSA1) and a shock mount (preferrably, Blue's official Radius II) and filtering background noise in Adobe Audition if you dont have room with good acoustics. This in total, paired with the mic costs well over £250, and it may be quetioned by others for if it is worth investing this amount of money into a microphone. The boom arm gives me more space, and prevents sounds from the stand (that comes with the mic) from picking up any noises from my desk. The shock mount suspends the mic within a ring surrounded by elastic that absorbs all sounds trevelling from the boom arm to the mic and reduces the humming sound if you have your boom arm attached to your desk with a computer. This keeps the recording as true as possible.- The front facing buttons (volume and mute) feel a tad cheap and plasticky, which doesn't feel right as the rest of the mic seems to be made of what feels like highly durable and thick metal. This is only a minor, but still a con in itself.Overall, the first con for me shines on the mics power, while also being a bad thing. It has fantastic audio, when handled correctly and put in the right place. It is great for all sorts of people. I recommend this microphone, it's a fantastic device!

It's expensive because you get what you pay for
This microphone is a solid bit of kit. It's not cheap plastic like most electronics, it's a solid heavy metal thing that looks like it is designed to last for years and the sound quality is exceptional even for my non-telegenic voice. The microphone offers different modes for various uses, I have only used it for personal vlogging. So yes it's expensive, but think of it as an investment, not just buying any old peripheral - it will probably keep quite a reasonable resale value should you wish to sell it in a few years time. Loads of internet vloggers and podcasters use this microphone or a similar model so it is tried and tested.How it works with background noiseI assumed that microphones like this automatically filter out most/all background noise as my cheap headsets always have that typical annoying background fuzzy noise even when the room is quiet. That's NOT QUITE how it works per se but this microphone does handle it a lot better - it is very sensitive so it can pick up noises, so you may need to use software such as audacity to filter out such noise if it is an issue. The microphone has a "gain" control, so by turning the gain down to a reasonable level, the microphone picks up my voice loud and clear but it does not pick up my computer's fan or the noise outside my house (so long as the window is closed), so by having the gain set to the right amount I don't need to tweak the audio of my recordings. Obviously it is still sensitive to noises on the desk such as moving your keyboard and mouse, so to get around this you would have to use a mounting arm rather than the included stand (or just be careful with your hands). Turning the gain up considerably does make my voice much louder but it then picks up computer fan noises and such, but it is not necessary for the gain to be this high for vlogging in front of a computer screen.The microphone plugs in via USB, on Windows 10 it should be plug and play and the computer should recognise it quite clearly. The included headphone port will automatically feedback your own voice through the connected headphones and it is immediate so you don't hear yourself being repeated, and you can tell if the mute button is on/off by the headphones as well as the LED. You can change your computer's speaker settings to use this headphone port for all other computer sounds if you wish to do so (essentially using it as a headphone jack extension for the entire computer). The volume knob on the front is for the headphones, not for the microphone which is instead volume adjusted by the gain knob at the back.
