How does the Yeti Nano compare with the full-size Yeti?

The Nano is smaller and records at 24-bit/48kHz with cardioid and omnidirectional patterns. The full Yeti adds stereo and bidirectional patterns plus on-mic mute and gain controls.

Do I need to install software to use it?

No. It works as a plug-and-play USB mic. The Blue VO!CE vocal effects need Logitech G HUB, so install that if you want EQ, compression and de-esser processing.

Can I hear myself while recording?

Yes. The built-in headphone jack gives zero-latency monitoring, so you can hear your voice as you record or stream.

Is it good for streaming and calls?

Yes. Cardioid mode focuses on your voice for solo streaming, podcasting and video calls. Place it close and keep the room quiet for the cleanest result.

Does it work with consoles and phones?

It is designed for USB connection to a computer. Console or mobile use depends on the device accepting a USB microphone, so check that before buying.

The microphone with its built-in metal desk stand. A USB cable is included for connecting to your computer.

What reviewers say

Reviewers and owners consistently praise the Yeti Nano's clear, warm voice sound and its small footprint, and many call it an easy first USB mic. The most common complaints are sensitivity to room noise and keyboard noise, the lack of an on-mic mute or gain control, and the software dependency for the vocal effects.

About the Blue Microphones Yeti Nano Premium USB Mic

The Blue Yeti Nano is a USB microphone for podcasting, YouTube videos, Twitch streaming and Zoom calls. It records at 24-bit/48kHz and uses two proprietary mic capsules tuned for voice. It is a computer microphone designed for desktop use.

It has two pickup patterns. Cardioid mode records sound sources directly in front of the microphone, which suits single-host podcasts, game streaming, calls, voiceovers, vocal performances and instruments. Omnidirectional mode records sound equally from all around the mic, which suits conference calls with several people in one room or multi-person interviews.

A built-in headphone port with no latency lets you hear your voice in real time, and you can adjust the volume. An instant mute button silences the mic. The built-in metal stand lets you adjust the angle of the mic.
