Reviews for Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone

This is my second microphone now. My first was from a completely different company and it somehow developed a terrible tinny, static sound over time and I was so disappointed so I had high hopes for this one. I record music and vocals on a regular basis so I needed a microphone I could really depend on.

First of all, the design is so beautiful and practical. Turning the mic upside down in the holder is a great way to store it on your desk when it's not in use (whereas with my old mic, I had to store it in my desk drawer in a sock, otherwise it would just lay there and roll around and get damaged). It's very simplistic and it actually feels a bit lighter than it looks.

The sound quality is impeccable and really not expected from a $150 microphone. I've only had mine for about 3 months now but it really hasn't seemed to age at all. It's also very easy to use on a mac, not complicated at all.

I would recommend this product to anyone for any reason.

This Yeti works wonderful BUT it will burn out in a couple months!! It no longer works and I am very upset!! The microphone company doesn't have a warranty on the product either!!

Got this microphone since 2 days ago and I must say it's a pretty big but very nice looking microphone. Although the sound haven't blown my mind yet.
I'm still configuring with the settings to get the best out of it. My mic is like 8 inches away from my face and once I'm speaking with gain low you can barrely hear my voice and onve I bring the gain a bit up you already start hearing things from 10 feet away and soft background noices. I hope I can fix this soon!

Seems that people complain they can't hear me. when I check Sound Preferences the input volume has return to nil. Adjustment corrects the issue.

Upgraded to Lion OS X and Blue Yeti Pro. Does not work. When plugged in USB, the cable is loose light blinks. Seems high quality product, but manufacturer skimps on updates and fixes. Spent approx $300, and very upset with Apple and Blue for not resolving before launch.

A quick search reveals that many others are having this issue. Try to avoid investing in USB microphone until Apple or Blue resolve this issue.

Having messed with music & recording equipment for years, I recently made the move to Apple and recording on the computer. I didn't want to have to buy interfaces and cords to use my existing equipment. I wanted something that would sound good and was easy to use. I got what I paid for. The mic sounds good on vocals and recording my acoustic guitar. I would recommend this mic to friends and family. It is plug and play....

Just buy a cheap POWERD USB hub from anywhere. Plug the Camera Connection Kit into the USB hub and also plug the Blue Yeti into the USB hub, and it should work!

I got the blue yeti mic as a gift for christmas, a couple weeks after having it the power supply starts cutting in and out over and over again, the mic wont work for anything i need it to. very un happy with the gift. It is not the cord either it is the mic itself i use the same cord for my camera to up load pictures. I called apple to return it but they said it was too late. for the week it did work the sound quality was very good.

Blue is definitely a great company who make great products for both consumers and professionals. I by no means am a music professionals, just someone who prides himself in putting in a quality effort, with quality products to produce a quality result.

The Yeti is very simple to connect. Plug and Play in all honesty. I do voiceover work for footage of video games and publish my content on YouTube. Coming from the built-in mic on my iMac, I decided I needed something that would give my viewers a more pleasing, professional experience. This is it. With the ability to select between different pickup patterns, and the built in input for listening to yourself, this was a purchase I was not about to miss.

5 stars. Great voice quality with no editing, solid build, hefty but professional feeling. For the money, you can't go wrong.
