Reviews around color (4.41 of 5)

  • I had a Blue Yeti Mic before and it worked really well and decided to get this one because a friend needed a mic and I liked the color better
  • One regrettable downside to the dark coloring is that all of the labels for the various knobs are black.
  • Also it's not a driver issue b/c this is plug and play
  • I liked the red color, and it looks nice hanging above my desk
  • Not only does it sound amazing but the color looks great as well

Reviews around sound (4.34 of 5)

  • I also added the Foam Windscreen for Blue Yeti (VocalBeat) to further filter out extraneous sounds
  • The sound on this mic is as good as you're going to get with a USB mic
  • This microphone is so crisp and clear; it also didn’t blow out the sound or rattle even with upclose and loud sounds
  • And this microphone continuously cuts out and makes loud static sounds, and on every forum I see to try and fix it, they all have the same problem, and theres no way to fix it
  • The mic works well for a person on a budget wanting good sound

Reviews around noise isolation (3.77 of 5)

  • I initially expected keeping the mic that close to my face to keep noise isolation to a minimum as I want to sound good to my friends in Discord and people in my games
  • But I'm not about to put foam padding all over my walls just to get better noise isolation
  • This microphone is good, just buy a screen so the p's don't pop and the s's aren't too sharp.
  • It isn't an annoying amount of echo, but there certainly isnt great noise isolation
  • I read many reviews online and after deciding from the reviews that this is indeed the best one to buy, well I just bought it.

Reviews around yeti (3.61 of 5)

  • I realized just how oversized and cumbersome the Blue Yeti had been
  • The Blue Yeti has serious manufacturing defects and the company has very poor to non-existent support
  • But searching "Blue Yeti doesn't work" gets a lot of results.
  • Never buy a blue yeti again, wasted so much money on a microphone i couldn't even use when I first got it.
  • I love the Blue Yeti, its the best mic I have ever bought

Reviews around star (2.94 of 5)

  • Would be 5 stars but the cable that powers the device is in an awkward spot on the back of this, depending on how you swivel the mic, you damage the cable.
  • However, it loses two stars for one simple reason: the mini-USB cable it comes with is absolute garbage
  • I'm only giving it two stars because I really like the physical design of it, but it just doesn't record well.
  • I returned it but still gave it two stars because (ignoring the whine) it did seem to work as expected.
  • I bought this in 2013, use it weekly, and it as good as day one.

Reviews around plastic (2.73 of 5)

  • It is about a foot tall and is really solid, not cheap plastic
  • They are made of a cheap feeling plastic, and i don't know if they will handle constant adjusting
  • For example, the volume knob is made is cheaply out of fragile plastic (at least that’s what it feels like
  • The sound quality is good, but not as great as I was expecting for the price
  • I read many reviews online and after deciding from the reviews that this is indeed the best one to buy, well I just bought it.

Reviews around pitch whine (2.69 of 5)

  • I have asked to exchange the Blue Yeti Microphone I received for a new one because the product I received would produce a high-pitched whine on every single track I recorded.
  • I just get this high pitched whine in the background of everything, even when not speaking.
  • I read many reviews online and after deciding from the reviews that this is indeed the best one to buy, well I just bought it.
  • I read many reviews online and after deciding from the reviews that this is indeed the best one to buy, well I just bought it.

Reviews around cable (2.37 of 5)

  • Unplugging the bad cable had no effect; Windows continued to blare out warnings and USB devices were disabled
  • There was power running to the mic showing that the cable wasn't the problem, and multiple USB ports weren't the issue either
  • The arm also has slick cable routing and a more finished look than generic arms.
  • I expect better cables to have come with this microphone
  • Unfortunately, the cable it came with was defective and doesn’t work

Reviews around background noise (1.44 of 5)

  • If background noise isn't a problem for you this is a great Mic.
  • This mic is also good at picking up background noise though

Reviews around usb port (1.24 of 5)

  • The issue seems to be the USB port is so flimsy it cant consistently maintain connection
  • Also, the usb port on the microphone itself feels very loose and my cords would often fall out if I simply moved the microphone a few inches
  • Either the USB port the microphone uses is trash or the microphone is trash
  • +.I had high hopes for these microphones but the USB port is too weak
  • This microphone is good, just buy a screen so the p's don't pop and the s's aren't too sharp.
