The Blue Yeti, now sold under Logitech G, is a USB condenser microphone with three capsules that switch between cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional and stereo patterns. It has a headphone jack with volume control, a mute button and a gain knob on the front, and it ships with a desk stand. It is the default pick for podcasters, streamers and voice-over beginners who want plug-and-play sound without an audio interface. Its rivals are smaller and cheaper USB mics that offer fewer patterns, and XLR mics that need extra gear but scale further. Reviewers rate the sound and build highly; the common complaints are its size and weight, a sensitive mute button and background noise pickup in untreated rooms.

Owners and reviewers rate the Yeti highly for sound quality, build and ease of setup, and it remains a common first serious mic for podcasts and streaming. Criticism centers on its bulk, its sensitivity to room noise and the touchy mute button.
Yeti is the world’s #1 premium USB mic, producing clear, powerful, broadcast-quality sound and Blue VO!CE effects for podcasting, YouTube productions, game streaming, Skype and music. Yeti’s proprietary three-capsule technology enables cardioid, omni, bidirectional, and stereo pickup patterns that offer incredible flexibility, allowing you to record and stream in ways that would normally require multiple microphones. Yeti also features studio controls for headphone volume, pattern selection, instant mute, and microphone gain that put you in charge of the recording process. Set up in seconds with the included desktop stand or connect directly to a mic stand or boom arm.
