Requires additional software I think to make it sound amazing

Honestly it was fine for a day then it went bad. It would spike constantly in volume. Even filters didn’t work, I don’t know if it was the mic or my set up. But I just put it away and purchased a different mic. My viewers would say I’m too quiet and then suddenly my voice would just boom and I would make ears bleed from the spike in volume.

It picks up so much background noise so much that you actually have to configure it to ensure it doesnt.I have my gain slider at 9'0 clock the 4 options for the mic is the bean looking one, and then I had to go into windows, edit sound settings and turn the volume of the mix to 65, disable audio enhancements, switch the quality to highest, and then put the mic through VoiceMeeter Potato with the Denoiser MAXED with the gate at 4.5.It is an understatement when I say it will pick up anything and everything in the background regardless of what it is. Still a good sounding mic though.3/5 since I had to actually configure it to be usable and pleasant to others who hear me over the internet.

Coming from Logitech I don't understand, or I understand, why price and design is so unacceptable for this microphone. Design terrible: the weight, the bulky, the stand, the nuts that hold the mic in position. What's good in design, sockets locations. Terrible, the style like from the 50s. About price, it is OVERPRICED, same sound quality you can find it in the same market. ADVERTISING is the only reason Yeti sells, yes. When you look for a mic, you find first a Yeti ads with all the "bright sides" than the right information from the competence. I have not said Yeti is not good, but it's not excellent. When you get it out of the box, you don't know if it is a land mine or a microphone, and please hold it very tight when start assembling, it can go easy out of your hands, and you paid more than double of the price others microphones with a lot less ads and same sound quality, can cost you.

I don't know what is it exactly but anytime I restart my PC I have to reconnect the microphone because it's not recognized by the system right away, this happens in a Windows system and a Linux one.I searched the internet a bit and it seems to be a common problem with this microphone, I didn't expect to have this kind of trouble given the price tag of this one.Some said that they could get around of it with "drivers". I didn't even bother. I'm staying with it for now but I expected a better experience.

This was bought for me as a gift on recommendation from several people for creating youtube videos - the problem is, if you have a mac don't expect it to work well. The software for mac doesn't update, it can't load the hub properly so you can't drive the mic. Also the USB ports don't work with Mac - either iMac or MacProBook - as these machines don't have USB ports. So because it was a GIFT I couldn't get Tech Support because they want a receipt.

Out of the 3 mics I ordered with this brand, only 2 of them work. I am outside of the return window through Amazon so have been going through the microphone company to get this resolved and they are difficult to deal with. I believe there are likely better brands out there that make it a little easier to replace a relatively new order that is under warranty.

I have had MANY of blue yetis over the years and I am ready to give up do to the constant breaking of the product from normal use. My other largest problem is that they advertise as plug and play might but mine pick up my computer from 3 feet off and apparently there is no fix. I know this is false due to this problem being fixed previously and only with the new software update did it break again. I asked how to fix this and they responded with it's a hardware issue despite it only occurring after the software was downloaded. Please find a better mic in the price point, my brother received a hyper X that was ACTUALLY plug and play and didn't requite software tweaking.Lastly once again there customer service I believe told me my mic was broken without a fix to get me to buy another. I would welcome getting assistance and would happily change this review provided they can help me fix it.

The sound quality is awful. My phone microphone sounds better.

broke so fast
