Our take on the Blue Yeti USB Microphone
The Blue Yeti is a USB microphone with four pickup patterns and onboard controls, a long-time pick for streamers who want a mic that just plugs in. At a tracked $99.99 it sits near the bottom of its $99.11 to $117.37 range since July 13, 2026, so there is little reason to wait.
Three capsules give cardioid, omni, bidirectional and stereo patterns. Controls on the body cover headphone volume, pattern, mute and gain. Blue VOICE software adds voice effects. A desktop stand is included. Retailers rate it 4.6 across 57,168 ratings, the largest sample in this group.

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
