Microphones Yeti Pro

For its price, the Blue Yeti far surpasses other microphones in its category. This microphone is easy to use and ready to go, simply plug the USB into your computer and start recording! You will be amazed by the quality of this microphone and its ease of use. I absolutely recommend this microphone for those who are looking for fast and easy quality audio recording. This mic is best used for podcasts, youtube videos, and can even be used for budget friendly music recording!

I researched a lot of microphones before settling on the Samson Q2U. The main thing I'm using it for is to speak with people over Discord and Zoom (I built my PC and it does not have a built-in mic). I did also try it on a MacBook Pro and it worked easily. I would have loved a Shure SM7B, but the price is too much to justify its purchase for what I'm needing a mic for. Regardless, I am more than satisfied with the sound quality of the Q2U for the price range. Build quality is beyond what I would expect in this price range. Audio quality is no different. Voice playback is warm and has a good range; not tinny at all, which is the main worry I have with less expensive microphones. I was comparing it mostly with the Blue Yeti and a few Audio Technica's that were around $100, but decided to go with the Q2U instead due to the complaints about Blue Yeti online (despite its popularity), the price of the Q2U, and the fact that the Q2U has both USB and XLR jacks. That feature alone sets this mic apart from most of its competition, including the Yeti. I will probably purchase a quality boom arm so the microphone is not sitting on the desk between the keyboard and myself, but for not this kit works just fine.

I've owned the Blue Yeti Microphone for years. The Pro Version is even better.

After research, I decided to go with the Blue Yeti mic instead of the Blue Yeti Pro as problems associated with the Yeti Pro's gain/USB functionality appeared common. The Blue Yeti provides straightforward, clear performance, and is a great addition to a home studio.

This is the 2nd Yeti Pro mic that I've gotten and it is perfect, especially for the price, versatility, and ease of use. I use it for everything from podcasting to music demos with vocals and acoustic instruments and the audio is always crystal clear. You honestly can't go wrong with Blue, they've become a household name for a reason. Do yourself a favor and pick one of these up or any of their USB mics, they're worth every penny.

I decided to purchase a Blue Yeti Pro mic as I was making a music video for a school project and needed a relatively easy to use mic to record decent quality recordings. I decided to go with the Blue Yeti Pro from all the positive reviews given on it so far. It was recommended that I buy the Pro version of this mic over the normal one as there is a difference in sample rates. Basically, this mic is considered better for recording acoustic instruments. The Blue Yeti Pro is VERY easy to use. Plug it in and off you go! For a usb microphone the sensitivity in which it picks up noises is also really good. Every time I take in a breath, the Blue Yeti Pro records me doing it! A little embarrassing, but goes to show the great recording capabilities of this mic. The build quality of this mic is exceptional and is securely packaged in the box. I even had a little bit of trouble better the mic out of the moulded Styrofoam! Having the four recording settings is really handy and Blue makes sure you know which one is which with a well written concise manual talking about the settings. The only possible downside of this microphone is the issue of the low gain settings that many buyers may complain about. However, on the mac it is an easy fix. All you have to do is to click 'go' in the toolbar at the top of the screen, click on 'utilities' and find a application called 'Audio MIDI Setup'. Make sure the mic is connected to the mac before opening it up. Click on 'BLUE USB Audio 2.0' and turn the input and output settings up to the very right so that the values should be at 1. With that adjustment, the microphone should have more gain, so you don't have to turn the gain knob up all the way in a desperate bid for more gain. The Blue Yeti Pro is also a fairly bulky, heavy mic. But since I don't move it around much, for me at least, this is not an issue.
