Reviews around work (4.42 of 5)

  • the mic works fine but the wire it came with does not work
  • This mic works quite well, and the audio feed is nice and crisp
  • Nothing worked and the customer service experience was unfortunate
  • Great sound quality when recording, mic gain works perfectly.
  • Having mute not work in the instant you need it is far more frustrating than I imagined.

Reviews around build (4.38 of 5)

  • It has amazing audio quality and great built in features.
  • the built in monitoring function is also very poor for monitoring your sound
  • I only bought this microphone because I was told it had excellent build quality, but this is unacceptable
  • Mediocre build quality
  • No, but it’s a simple USB mic with solid quality and a great build.

Reviews around sound (4.31 of 5)

  • The return audio through the headphones jack returned a 1950 AM radio crackling static sound
  • Now there's a bunch of static sounds that come through even when using different cables/laptops.
  • 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 sound on this mic is as good as you're going to get with a USB mic
  • and I ordered a different color because the mic itself had great sound.

Reviews around microphone (4.29 of 5)

  • In all honesty, this microphone is overkill for my purposes, but I was tired of garbage microphones
  • Haven't used it much, but from when I have, it's a very good quality microphone
  • This is the most expensive microphone I've ever bought, and it didn't disappoint me
  • The biggest problem this microphone has is what it does to your speakers when you first plug it in
  • This is by far the best USB microphone I have ever used

Reviews around product (4.28 of 5)

  • Amazing product great for beginners and expertsRead more
  • Though the sound recording quality is good, the build quality for such an expensive product is dismal
  • Great product but would have been nice if it came with instructions!
  • Such a poor quality of cable makes it a very bad quality product.
  • I really have no words to describe how great this product is.

Reviews around price (4.17 of 5)

  • I’ve use this Mic to record songs and the quality is actually pretty good for the cheap price highly would recommend if you’re trying to get into music or just trying to make YouTube videos
  • and if you enjoy asmr and want to one day make asmr videos this is the greatest mic to use for a cheaper price !
  • Very good sound quality for a fair price and works perfectly out of the box
  • I feel the price is actually cheap for the craftsmanship.
  • Conclusion: will likely go w an AT for the slimmer design, better sound quality, and cheaper price.

Reviews around record (4.00 of 5)

  • Amazing sound quality when recording, I couldn’t be happier
  • Great sound quality when recording, mic gain works perfectly.
  • Mic arrived defective with a high pitched whine sound when recording, a cable with a protruding header, and a small chip on the actual unit.
  • I bought this mic to carry back and forth to a friend's house to do some rough recording while we practice.
  • The sound always comes through clean and clear and I never have blowout issues when recording directly through audacity

Reviews around noise isolation (3.81 of 5)

  • I'm sure if your room has lots of things to soak up any echo, noise isolation wont be an issue
  • 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 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
  • This microphone is good, just buy a screen so the p's don't pop and the s's aren't too sharp.
  • 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 (3.67 of 5)

  • I recently bought the blue yeti and I do not regret the purchase
  • I just got my Blue Yeti [in silver] this week and it works great
  • but I do not recommend a yeti, save your money, 0/10 would not recommend
  • Never buy a blue yeti again, wasted so much money on a microphone i couldn't even use when I first got it.
  • I realized just how oversized and cumbersome the Blue Yeti had been

Reviews around plastic (3.14 of 5)

  • The pins got bent and when I tried to figure out what was going on, I pulled the cord out and the plastic was left hanging onto the pins
  • Its a real hefty base, made of metal, not a scrap of cheap plastic on it
  • This microphone is good, just buy a screen so the p's don't pop and the s's aren't too sharp.
  • This morning, we were getting ready for work and noticed a plastic burning smell
  • I looked up youtube reviews, reviews here on Amazon, as well as on other tech review sites, and I can say with confidence that the Yeticaster is definitely a top tier choice when it comes to above average USB Mics, and a fantastic shock mount and boom arm

Reviews around paint (2.98 of 5)

  • It's not too bad but attaching certain accessories to it can just rip the paint off.
  • I looked up youtube reviews, reviews here on Amazon, as well as on other tech review sites, and I can say with confidence that the Yeticaster is definitely a top tier choice when it comes to above average USB Mics, and a fantastic shock mount and boom arm
  • In my subjective opinion, the colored versions are nice to look at with their fancy paint jobs, but the cheaper blackout edition is the one to buy, because the microphone itself is probably not going to be seen on video when used.
  • Unscrewed the stand to mound it to a desk pole arm I purchased, only to find that the paint is flaking on the sides where it was attached
  • This includes things like Discord/Skype/etc as well as for streaming and plain audio recording

Reviews around star (2.94 of 5)

  • To start off, I chose to knock a star off for the un-user friendliness of this mic, for the quality of this product, it should have had an off button on it, having to have the mic on
  • However, it loses two stars for one simple reason: the mini-USB cable it comes with is absolute garbage
  • I bought this in 2013, use it weekly, and it as good as day one.
  • I will keep you posted and update the stars when it is confirmed that the replacement works as it should with no repeat issues
  • This microphone is good, just buy a screen so the p's don't pop and the s's aren't too sharp.

Reviews around usb port (1.26 of 5)

  • +.I had high hopes for these microphones but the USB port is too weak
  • I have gone through three (3) of these mics within six (6) months simply because the USB port is garbage
  • 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
  • The issue seems to be the USB port is so flimsy it cant consistently maintain connection
  • This microphone is good, just buy a screen so the p's don't pop and the s's aren't too sharp.
