Our take on the Blue Yeti USB

The Blue Yeti USB is a three-capsule USB mic for streamers who want pattern choice without extra gear. It comes with a desk stand and works on a laptop or PC.

Four pickup patterns are listed: cardioid, omni, bidirectional and stereo. That lets you use it for one voice, a guest across the table or a room. The stand tilts to aim at your mouth, and you can swap to a boom arm. It plugs in over USB and needs no extra gear. Retailers rate it 4.7 across 1,008 ratings.

Pros
  • Four pickup patterns
  • Tilting desk stand included
  • Plug-in USB setup
Cons
  • USB only, no XLR connection
  • Needs a boom arm to keep it out of frame
