As its name suggests, the Yeti is big, imposing, and has near mythical abilities. But unlike its Himalayan counterpart, Blue Microphones' newest USB podcasting mike is most definitely real.

Sharp, clear recording in all four settings; Stereo setting yields dizzingly dynamic results for podcasting; Bidirectional setting yields audio more intimate than an afternoon in Victoria's Secret

Gain, headphone volume, and pattern-select switches on the mike's body are awkwardly placed - makes them hard to get at when the mike's in its stand; Using hefty mike for field work probably not a wise idea

Forget what you think you know about sound recording: the traditional home microphone is dead. Never again should a mini-jack plug have to run its awful buzzing signal into your Mac's mic socket. The digital domain of USB is here – and it's better.

I love this microphone! I moved and some of my music students wanted to continue with my remotely, so we use Skype and FaceTime. I use this mic instead of the computer built-in one, and my students report crystal clear sound. AND it's a plug and play...couldn't have been easier. Very happy!

I just bought a Blue Yeti pro. Microphone a month ago , the sound is so much exclusive and bold with crystal clear . Very easy to use , just adjust the gain leve according to your ambience noise . Amazing product , amazing output .

I bought this microphone to do a little garage recording. It was easy to setup. I had to download a driver to allow the sound to play through the microphone headphone jack to act as a monitor. There is a headphone volume knob as well as a gain for the mic.

The Blue Yeti is a great choice for a USB microphone, and about the best one can buy. I have no qualms with it, and the build quality is amazing.

Looking for a professional, high-quality microphone With multiple settings for different usage, I highly recommend the Blue Yeti.

Very High Audio Quality Easy to Set Up Multiple Settings

This is my second purchase of this product. The first was to setup a recording studio for a friend. Then I had to have my own. I already use Rode mics and Zoom recorders for my filming needs. But I use this Blue Microphone Yeti for in-house work and voice-overs. This is a great piece of equipment.

Ok everyplace sells Mic's and any other gear but only Sweetwater has the service that insures you get the gear you want or need. My Sales Engineer Ben Porter and I discussed my needs he did some research, I did some too.

I do a lot of conference calls, web presentations, and demos all of which I run from my Mac or MacBook Pro. Plugged it in and that was it. It sounds great and is really easy to use. It's a little big on the desk, but then that's to be expected with a mic of this quality.
