Clear, Articulate, Full-featured, Stable, and Easy To Use
By YourCallCannotBeConnected on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2017
I use the Yeti for screen casting webinars and voiceover tutorials for software that I design and sell online. 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.

Great sound quality for price, but came with obvious superficial damage
By Maggie Patchett on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2019
Obviously, blue yeti is a great microphone, and one of the most competitively priced. I read a couple of reviews from folks who said they thought they got microphones that were refurbished rather than new, and I’m pretty sure mine is as well because when I took it out of the box for the first time, some of the paint was chipping, there were a few minor dents, and one of the knobs that keeps the microphone at the correct angle kept coming loose. Aside from the loose knob it was all superficial and I’m just using it in my home recording studio so it wasn’t a huge issue, just a bit frustrating, but I haven’t noticed any problem with sound quality. As far as the actual function of the microphone, I love it! It’s great at capturing just your voice and not a lot of ambient noise, which has been very helpful as someone living in the city with a less than professional level recording booth. Would buy it again, just wish they would sell refurbished ones at a bit of a lower price!
