The Blue Yeti X blew us away with its clean and clear sound quality, even during a Zoom Video call. With retro-type styling that is consistent with the Blue Yeti brand, it sports a mic screen with a distinct tapered look. Its clean and shiny base gives the X a professional and high quality aesthetic that looks far more expensive than its relatively reasonable price tag suggests. The X was top-scoring in sound quality, recording clean, full-sounding bass when tested with music. Its clear metering visual, lighted directional pattern and easy mode-changing make the Blue Yeti X's user interface simple and intuitive.
Unfortunately, the Blue Yeti X's outstanding sound quality routinely picked up plosives on the breath during testing, so you're probably going to want to utilize a pop filter with this mic. Although it's one of the larger microphones on this list, the Blue Yeti X does not come with a carrying case. However, the quality foam packaging it comes in means you're probably fine transporting the microphone in its own box. The X features four distinct directionality options, which makes it ideal for a variety of uses. Whether you need to go bidirectional while recording a podcast with another person or stereo to record more immersive sound like ASMR, the Blue Yeti X is a great overall pick for whatever you intend to create.

While the Blue Yeti above is the best gaming microphone for streamers, the Yeti X kicks things up a notch in terms of performance, features and price. Those who already own a Yeti don&rsquo;t have a pressing need to upgrade; however, if you&rsquo;re in the market for a new desktop microphone and have the budget, the Yeti X is a versatile option with fantastic audio performance. Although it somewhat comes at a premium, the Yeti X is still a lot cheaper than most multi-polar pattern studio mics. 
A greater number of condenser capsules brings smoother sound with better sensitivity compared to the standard Yeti. Beyond the specs, we also noticed an improvement in recording quality when compared to the Yeti. Our testing found that the Yeti X could articulate a wider dynamic range that sounded a bit fuller. 
Another nifty upgrade the Yeti X provides is a dial that swaps between cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional and stereo polar patterns. The joy here is this dial is just plain easy to turn and much more so than the Yeti. However, we wished the Yeti X&rsquo;s dials felt more premium for this price.
If you're willing to spend a little extra, there's also the Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition. Currently going for $50 extra (opens in new tab), It brings a new look, plus voice modulation to make you sound like characters from the Warcraft games, including Shadowlands.

 The blue microphones always sound pretty good, but with the Yeti X Blue is taken a step further and included the Blue Voice software and within the Blue Voice App, you can change your voice quite a bit to fit whatever you are creating. Let's dive in and take a closer look. Alright, so here we are within the actual Blue Voice App you can adjust your mic gain which is the same thing you can do on the front of the microphone with this slider. Over here you can also adjust the polar patterns like the button on the back of the microphone and then to test your voice, just hit the record here

 within the Blue Voice App, these colors can be adjusted to fit any color scheme. On the back of the microphone, we have the button selector for the four different polar patterns which are cardioid, Omni, bi-directional and stereo. The blue microphones always sound pretty good, but with the Yeti X Blue is taken a step further and included the Blue Voice software and within the Blue Voice App, you can change your voice quite a bit to fit whatever you are creating. Let's dive in and take a closer look

 all of these settings can be adjusted with a little bit more control if you click on the little menu button over here with the EQ, you can get in here and change the frequency points and the width of adjustment along those and then you can boost and cut. So with those there should be quite a bit of customization you can do and play around with to really dial on a sound that you like and then over in the lighting. of course here's where you can change all the different LED colors. You can change the live color, you can change the mute color and even on the back of the microphone you can change the polar pattern to different individual colors if you would like

 Obviously we have it on Broadcaster One right now and then there's Broadcaster Two. You can click around and just hear how all these different samples sound with these different presets. Mic Tests Check One, Check Two This is the Blue Microphone Yeti X Mic Test Check one, Check two. This is the Blue Microphone Yeti X This is the Blue Microphone Yeti X and you can save all your Psets down here at the bottom if you want and I think even download them as a files that can be shared if you find one that you really like and if you want to dive into it even further

Blue Yeti X Review: Legendary sound with new features for creators

This mic is okay, I was expecting better sound quality for the price. It has a way of dying every so often and having to be reset even in the middle of speaking. Replacing the USB cable it came with helped, I am using an Anker cable now but it still drops out every so often. This mic also seems excessive big, I am looking to put it on an adjustable arm but I am concerned about weight because it's so big and heavy

 Replacing the USB cable it came with helped, I am using an Anker cable now but it still drops out every so often. This mic also seems excessive big, I am looking to put it on an adjustable arm but I am concerned about weight because it's so big and heavy.  I guess I will keep it at this point but if I had to do it over I would look elsewhere.

I was expecting better

 Otherwise, the quality is excellent. I love it more than any mic I've had until now; I just don't get why it has that slot on the bottom for mounting so close to the USB port. Luckily I use a USB headset, so that headphone port is worthless, but it's covered up, and a more extended jack might be a pain in the butt to use with this setup.  Oh, and I got an "AC" in quotes, one of those mini swamp coolers lol I put ice water in it when I need it cooler; otherwise, it's just a fan, and it's on my desk with the boom arm

 The design threw it partially obstructed, and I had t manhandle the USB. I blame this part on the stabilizing mount advertising it works with and this terrible design flaw on Blue's end. Otherwise, the quality is excellent. I love it more than any mic I've had until now; I just don't get why it has that slot on the bottom for mounting so close to the USB port

One design flaw I noticed...

Easy to use. Fluid adjustment to different modes. Great noise cancellation without sound proofing assistance.

Best USB version quality bang for your buck.

This review is based on my setup, which I use to record a podcast and YouTube narration on a 2018 iMac and Garageband.  Before I got the Blue Yeti X, I recorded on a Blue Yeti Blackout edition. The Blue Yeti X uses 4 capsules over the Blackout's 3. The Yeti X clearly records a warmer and crisper voice, but I find it drops a bit of the lower range in my voice

 The Blue Voice software isn't available for Macs, only Windows. This software would have been magnificent for mixing your output. I've listened to numerous examples with Low Soft Voice and Broadcast, and people sound great. This is unfortunate and it makes me NOT recommend the microphone for Mac users

 The Blue Yeti X uses 4 capsules over the Blackout's 3. The Yeti X clearly records a warmer and crisper voice, but I find it drops a bit of the lower range in my voice. Some people have said the buttons to control gain and monitoring are cumbersome, but I didn't have that problem. I think the Blackout edition is easier to use (you just turn a couple of knobs), but the Yeti X has LED displays on the gain

 I've listened to numerous examples with Low Soft Voice and Broadcast, and people sound great. This is unfortunate and it makes me NOT recommend the microphone for Mac users. My other quibble deals with the volume. I can only use the monitoring on the Yeti X to control the volume to my headphones

Yeti is the world’s #1 premium USB mic, producing clear, powerful, broadcast-quality sound for music, podcasts, Twitch streaming, YouTube videos, and Zoom calls.With advanced Blue VO!CE software, Yeti makes it easier than ever to achieve professional on-stream sound quality with enhanced broadcast vocal effects, advanced voice modulation and HD audio samples.Four pickup patterns 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.

The shine of gunmetal blue you gleam while unboxing means this is the iconic original: the Blue Yeti. This classic model scored second overall in our testing with a price tag indicative of its accessibility. The Blue Yeti is heavy and sturdy with a stand that enables you to adjust and tighten your mic to any angle, even flipping it upside down to become more compact for transport. The Yeti also supports alternative stand capability with threads to mount onto any standard stand or boom. Its simple and intuitive gain and volume control, along with easy switching between four polar patterns, make the Blue Yeti ideal to start working right out of the box.
The enticing value and ease-of-use do come with some drawbacks. The music we recorded was fairly echoey sounding with some fuzziness. While voice recording was significantly brighter, it was still a bit distant and echoed. However, the gain and volume control is consistently strong and responsive, and the Blue Yeti allowed for loud and clear discussion over Zoom calls. Overall, its ease-of-use, convenience and features make the Blue Yeti a solid choice for an attainable price. 

Completing the Blue Yeti Trifecta is the Blue Yeti Nano, a great pick for anybody whose priority is maximizing sound quality per dollar spent. This mic was one of the top scorers in our sound quality metric, retaining a strong and clear bass that penetrated any fuzzy echoes. During a Zoom call test, the Blue Yeti Nano was clear, free of static and a definite upgrade from a standard headset mic. 
However, be forewarned that you will miss some of the features available in the other products in Blue Yeti's catalog. Unlike its beefier brothers, the Nano does not support four polar directional patterns. Instead, you will have only cardioid and omnidirectional options. So, to record a conversation with multiple people or need rich immersive sound of ASMR, you may want to look elsewhere. If you're just looking to enhance the quality of your streams or conference calls without too intense an investment, however, the Nano is the mic for you. 

The venerable Blue Yeti was there at the birth of the streaming boom, and it&rsquo;s still a ubiquitous desktop feature on Twitch. And with good reason. It&rsquo;s just about the easiest mic to use on the market and really excels when picking up a single vocal signal at a time.
Logitech&rsquo;s Blue Yeti is built to a very high standard and will stay where you angle it on its weighty stand. The design of that stand, along with the understated, retro aesthetic of the mic capsule itself, makes this the most stylish USB microphone, and that&rsquo;s important when you&rsquo;re streaming yourself for an audience of judging eyes. If you really love RGB and want to sync all your peripherals up to the beat of the same light show, though, consider Razer&rsquo;s Seiren series instead.
The controls couldn&rsquo;t be easier to use while you&rsquo;re streaming. A single volume control and a mute button on the front of the mic are all you get, and for the intended purpose that&rsquo;s all you really need. You&rsquo;re never going to accidentally hit the wrong thing mid-stream.
The Blue Yeti&rsquo;s four polar patterns also give it great versatility, so if you venture out into music recording or podcasting, you&rsquo;re not limited by a single cardioid pickup pattern.

There are other interfaces that will do a great job as well such as M-audio 192 air series, or the Focusrite Scarlett series but IMO the NIKA series is where the value is at. Focusrite stuff is on point quality wise and admittedly is more durable for the road and handling abuse, the focusrite stuff is also something like triple the price of most comparable interfaces. The NIKA 2 IMO is the butter zone for getting good value and quality.

 Then just plug in normal ear buds. Maximum mic quality that will soothe your partner and client enough to bring them into a lull and win every negotiation, whilst having minimal electronics attached at your face that unintentionally become one with your personal brand.

I've been using my gaming headset to take client calls, but when the client wants a video call it's a little absurd to be wearing, so I'm looking for a sleek headset or earpiece that has great call quality and background microphone noice cancellation that aren't airpods.

The Plantronics (now Poly) voyager 5200s seem promising, although the fact it uses Bluetooth 4.2 and not 5.0 is a turn off.

The blue parrot m300xt seems nice, although I can't find many, if any, reviews of it on Reddit.

Any that you all recommend?

<ul>
<li>For non-video calls: my wireless gaming headset</li>
<li>For video calls: Shure MV7 professional style podcast microphone (has dedicated mute button) and had good background noise cancellation, paired with my truly wireless earbuds, or will try to find a sleek looking over the ear headphone that I&#39;ll use depending on the audience</li>
<li>When I don&#39;t feel like using a headset: Jabra speak 710</li>
<li>For travel/on the go: Plantronics Voyager 5220</li>
</ul>
</div>

Looking for a high quality headset / earpiece that has a minimalist design for client calls while working from home

The Blue Yeti is overhyped, overpriced, oversized, misused, and abused. You can do better with a Samson Q2U, Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB, or Audio-Technica AT2005USB.
