Very good few drawbacks, watch for sales!

Blue makes one of the better consumer PC mics in the Blue Yeti. When you catch a sale the value is hard to beat. If you are an amateur musician, a video blogger, a pod caster or a twitch streamer who has out grown their head set mic, this is a great step up. Plus it is very easy to setup. This mic picked up great sound from my guitar amp 10 feet away and nearby acoustic was also crystal clear. Blue also makes a cheaper version called the snow ball that is also very good for the price, however the Yeti is where it is at, it is hard to beat. There are a few draw backs. First, a few competitors make similar mics at lower retail prices that can do the job, but when you find the yeti on sale (often) then this is less of an issue, these mics often have more hoops to jump through to get the same sound where as the Yeti is simple, plug it in, tell your software to use the yeti, choose the mode you want (on the back of the mic) and away you go. Second draw back is that the mic is too good for the streamers and gamers out there, it picks up keyboard and desk sounds causing annoyances coming through. Software auto ducking and such helps with this but you will want to get a mic boom to get it off the desk. Along with that, it does need a pop filter. It does a great job with out one mind you, but if you want the best sound you can get from it, you will want one. The biggest draw back is that i hasn't improved my singing voice... I guess that maybe too much to ask :-)Read full review
