Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well. This is a bit different from my usual content, but I've been planning to expand and include hardware analyses on my channel for a while, including a look at the new gen consoles, and both Nvidia and AMD's new video cards that will drop later this year.
However - you can still expect the same regular amount of gaming focused content as well - including upcoming videos on the PC release of Horizon Zero Dawn, and a look at the recently released Skateboarding game "Skater XL" and how it compares to either Session or SKATE (let me know which one you'd be more interested in seeing!)
Nice nick has gone hardware mode now
We are okay 🤗🤗🤗
2018 nick: let's do game comparison
2020 nick: let's do tech comparison
2050 nick: let's do life comparison
I enjoyed this thanks nick

Love how you get straight to the point and waste no time! Very underrated comparison channel!
This came out just as I was looking into maybe upgrading my yeti, nice timing!
This is exactly the comparison I was looking for! Thanks for the smart, complete comparison!
your comparisons are top-notch, even tech reviews. Looking forward for more
this is a really cool change man! your videos are always interesting
This guys comparisons are always brilliant.
Saim Haider no doubt about that
Looking forward to pretty much anything you dish out mate, these are great and very informative. Keep it up! ✨
Never seen this channel before but amazing video, happy to finally have some solid stats on both.
Thanks for the great comparison! Solid vid as always.
Nicely put together video. Smooth AF and very colourful. I had a Blu Snowball for a while. Really nice, budget mic. Upgraded to a Samson G-Track Pro USB. It's built like a tank and sounds fantastic.
Fantastic review! Thanks so much @Nick930. Helped me pick between the two! (Wave 3)
content i was waiting for a long time on this channel
Totally just ordered an elgato wave 3 - Definitely looking forward to launching new content using it!
Wow, I liked how you compare the two devices, you can also do tech comparison alongside video games.
Blender Geek Hey! Cool that you use blender! I also use it, it’s very good right?
@@lonelylama5222 sorry for late reply, it's very cool once you figure all the shortcut keys and basic texturing
Nice to see you here!
Thank you for this video. I didn't use it to compare, but rather what to look forward to.
I Blue Yeti bit the dust (USB Connection issues - won't connect anymore) and bought the Algato Wave 3 in replacement. Thank you for giving me the run through
Fantastic video bud, I am a Blue yeti user myself, i love its audio quality and ease of use and i use the same settings are you to be honest and i never really stray from them. I am looking to upgrade to a proper studio quality mic at some point, i know those things are not as easy to set up but the quality is insane and that is what i want for making content
Awesome and much fresher type of video. Just keep it coming👍👍
Amazing comparison! I would love more alongside video games!👍
This dude really deserves more subs
But I think the wave 3 is better
This guy could literally compare microwave ovens and I would still watch the video.
You got something brown on your nose..
You deserve a like and comment for the algorithm, quality video!
this is great comparison. Not only did you cater to those that are choosing which one to buy but also if you already have one, whether or not to upgrade. Thank you this clears it up, As a yeti user, i personally don't think i'll notice much of a difference other than missing out on the wave:link software. It's a shame, and i may upgrade in future but... for now i'm happy re-routing using Virtual cables xD
Blue yeti won. It has more polygons...
Texture quality just isn't there though
@@Nick930 ya but dynamic lighting and cascaded shadows are better
@@Nick930 too much bloom in elgato and the colour is washed out
Cap
No I dont think so :)
Great video! Thanks to your video, I will be going with the wave3!
Good review, thanks Nick! Might want to throw a title card up to correct the sample rate info at 5:46. 98K doesn't exist. Think you meant 96k. Also, glad you mentioned the Wave 3 is normally $160. I ordered one on Amazon for $350 a couple hours ago so .... I'll be canceling that order.
You almost got screwed
This took direct comparison to a whole new level...😁
Kinda like the Wave 3 for ya! Your voice sounds so much better through it. That's how I feel anyways (you did ask in the video which we think you should use)
The only problem with the yeti is when you yell, the viewer hears it in a very loud way where it hurts but with the Wave 3, if you yell in it on its default settings, it's way better. It's what I've noticed personally.
I thought this was a joke at first but the video was amazing and I want more. I wonder how far you could take this series
Out of those 2, I prefer the Elgato Wave 3. However I would recommend the Elgato Wave 1 as it is cheaper and you can do everything you can do on the Wave 3 on the Wave Link software.
I've been through three blue yetis over a period of 3 years because eventually the cable connector seems to break. Great video and I'll be trying the elgato wave 3 next
Direct comparisons between microphones is something new on your channel and I’m all for it. You are really really entertaining to watch :) Also you should include comparisons between Intel’s and Amd’s cpus (not only the new ones that will be coming, but the ones that already exist too), nvidia’s and Amd’s gpus ( same ) etc
I will be doing hardware comparisons including PC components like GPUs - but only when it's realistic to do so. I don't have easy access to a lot of high end hardware. I'm partnered with AMD currently - and they've been really awesome about hooking me up with their new tech, but any Nvidia/Intel hardware has to come out of pocket from me
Price also factors in too. In my example the Yeticaster bundle was 299 down from 500 but the wave was 299 down from 330. I have wanted a boom arm for a while and the compass looks decent to me.
Great comparison. I have ordered the Elgato Wave 3 , as I have a stream deck and like the audio features that come with the Wave 3. Not one for knowing much about audio settings and mixers so I think for basic streamers such as myself, this is a safer choice. They are both so close, I dare not say which is better to be honest. Thank you for the review of these two products. At least I have not ordered a dud.

Both sound very similar. Perhaps Wave 3 looks a very little bit soft sound. Nice video!
Nick started a new genre in the channel : )
Wave Link software for the Wave microphone is getting VST support 😍
I'd say the Elgato Wave 3 is def. better than the Blue Yeti but not worth the upgrade if you already have a Yeti. But for a beginner Mic. I'd say the Wave is worth it.
For me, the Yeti is the absolute easiest way for my wife to get a quality stereo recording that pans her voice from her guitar a bit, without any tech skills or ancillary gear (you just need a suitable stand to position it right). If it was just for voice, any decent cardioid USB mic would do; and the Elgato looks jiffy.
5:01 so it's not a budgie it is a sun conure. Looks beautiful!
Amazing work Nick, Greetings from Bolivia 😎👍
You should make comparisons of different types of headset 2020.
I may end up doing something like that. My SteelSeries H headset has been crapping out on me due to the dumb lithium chargeable batteries not even being recognized by the device or charger.
@@Nick930wow nice headset, too bad you have a problem with the battery, I recommended the Logitech G935 amazing head set, I hope you can solve the problem of your headset.
Thank you man, i think i know which one i will buy :)
For those watching, worth noting that with a Stream Deck + you can get the Blue Yeti to use the Wave Link software now
Great video!
I have bought the Yeti with the yeticaster bundle and I don't regret
The thing that sucks though, is the fact that the Wave 3 has been consistently sold out for months. Would love to get my hands on a couple, but wait I must.
Only the ogs of TH-cam remember the blue snowball and hdpvr days, these kids with there fancy elgato stuff, they don't know the struggle you having input delay via there capture card
Good old days
Nice job! I'm sticking with my yeti:)
Same!
I have both, and i gotta admit Blue Yeti mic has a better sound quality. But the Wave 3 has a good software
Would love to get a Wave 3 but the resale prices are almost 3x the retail price, its a joke
Hey man I love your videos and the comparisons that you make is Amazing!! ,But when will you make a comparison of GTA 5 and GTA 4 never the less your videos are amazing.
I just came here because i ask myself how is blue yeti released in 2009, so I checked, and I am really impressed with that microphone which is from 2009 and still working a great job.
I'd really like to have some software tool, like the Wave has, for Blue Yeti.
The X version has a lot of tweaks with Logitech G Hub or Blue Companion app via Blue Voice. The regular Yeti does not.
There's an alternative for all the other microphones, made by Voicemeter, but imho is clunky to use with virtual cables inputs and so on.
For the Yeti, it's very slight, but it sounds like one is speaking while slightly constricting their airway. Though, it's very clean.
The wave3 is fuller and more natural, but
The background noise is much fuller as well, and is slightly louder.
I think it's a head long race, and the answer of which someone would want would definitely be what is on sale, or if you're picky about someone hearing your PC fan or if your tone is very slightly off.
Much better than expected.
Bro do some GPU Comparison videos please and big fan here..Love your work
hi, thank you for the video!
which one do you think had less hissing when using the 0 latency monitoring?
There seems to be a lot of hissing on my wave 3... way more than the yeti from my testings
The Elgato Wave 3 sounds a bit 'muddy' and I would like you to turn down the lower mids, but I think the Elgato sounds a tiny bit better. As in it sounds like it captures "more", but I think I like the less bass profile from the blue yeti.
can you do live music with a wave 3 or is it only for speaking? i know with the pattern selector on a yeti it's easy to switch it from voice to music.
I think sekiro shadows die twice vs ghost of sushima would be a nice comparison.
Post Malobe they are nothing like each other gameplay wise and have different art styles, the only similarities are that they are in Japan and feature swords
hey bro. Is it just your voice, or do both mics have a fair level of sibilance?
To be honest, I’m still stumped. I hate close comparisons lol I have the Yeti abs trying to decide weather or not to switch.
Couldn't you have put them side by side and recorded your intro line to both at once so we could get a direct comparison?
Thats exactly what i did in the sound test at the end.
9:17 /18 Got me to stop the video, take my headphones off and listen carefully. Then I got up and went to check on the baby that's still sleeping (thank God for that). Then I came back, relistened to the video only to realise that it was your parrot.
I also use the Yeti Blue and the mute button isnt really working for me as well (mic is just 2 years old). In comparison with the Wave I think the Blue sounds better without the help of an audio interface. I bought it for just 90€ and if the button doesnt stop working I see myself using this mic for at least 3 more years.
My probably with the yeti is the sheer amount of pack ground noise pick up. My boyfriend is on his computer about 15 feet away around a corner and it picks up everything no matter what software I use. I just ordered the wave 3 and I hope it changes that a bit
Nice review! :) Just ordered two Yeti X's thanks to the comparison.
The yeti has software though, to tweak all kinds of settings, noise gate's etc.
Not this wouldnt normally be configured in OBS anyway for twitch streaming for example. But it's there.
nice and informativ video!
but i have a little question:
at the moment i have the standard blue yeti. its about 15cm above my mouth and 15-20cm in front of it. but im not that happy with the sound for my livestreaming. what mic would be better for me? the blue yeti X or the wave 3? (the distance cant get closer..)
You could buy a mic stand so that it could be closer to you without actually putting the mic on the table
A comparison and it is not a game!?!? I LIKE IT
Hey nick! I have a feeling you’re gonna do an evolution of Microsoft flight simulator? Really hoping you will!
Can you do a compariso between the Yeti X, Samson G-Track Pro, and the Elgato Wave 3?
You can do comparisons about anything
Just bought a wave to replace my yeti. Yeti mics have to be the most inconsistent mics. The sheer amount of tinkering ive had to do over the years is crazy. But as much as I hate the yeti I have to admit. Its a good microphone. 90% of my issues are firmware and software. Its a shame really. Because hardware wise I have never known a more durable quality mic for the same price range.
the elgato proprietary software is unneeded if we're gonna use noise filters, VSTs, etc on OBS + Voicemeeter anyway
What's your arm boom and shock mount set-up? I found plenty of them but I would like one that would work with a blue yeti. Thanks!
Perfect timing with this I really need something more professional that won't break the bank...thank you!😊
Okay so get the what I got was Get the Wave 3 when its on-sale again for 30 bucks off
Dang this is different
The only reason I would upgrade from the Blue Yeti to the Wave 3 is for the software, sound quality side I would keep the Blue Yeti
I bought a blue yeti microphone after all the research and reviews, turns out they were all bought cause I get nothing but complaints about my blue yeti, I have tried allot of tutorials on how to make it sound better, but then no one can hear me. and the software choices are lackluster and usually breaks how other software works and usually messes up my sound.
You can use blue voice with the Yeti
Okay this is genius
The wave 3's audio is slightly better/fuller, but idk if it's worth the premium over the Yeti.
Huh I’m not familiar with this game, hopefully in the future I’ll pick it up on sale.
In all seriousness though this is something I would watch while for comparing devices
Damn shame it costs so much. My yeti constantly has this static issue and I have been wanting a replacement but the inflation has me waiting some more
I think one of the main areas of comparison are the build design and usability. Blue Yeti is really heavy, hard to hang on boom arm and 90% of blue yetis come with a badly machined screw hole and dont work with boom arms. Also the blue yetis plug socket quality is shitty, so is their included cable and both will usually fail in less than 2 years. The wave 3 has a high quality USB-c cable, in a more convenient position (the back, compared to the bottom with the BY)
Wait, doesn't Blue Yeti has a property software in the Logic G Hub where you can equalize the sound, which wave link doesn't do? Also what Wave Link does isn't the same thing voicemeeter does for free?
I have the blue yeti pro and it records 96 kilohertz as well.
So I have a yeti already, is it worth me buying a Elgato wave 3 or just save up for a XLR mic/GOXLR for streaming
Is it a good idea to tap the mic for mute? To me it does not seem to be clever.
Do a gaming setup toor
i'll certainly consider it - maybe for a big milestone
good thing them prices r normal now days but i got to say the wave 3 looks pretty nice and i am thinking about getting one mostly cuz of looks :P
Obs can do much of what you mentioned for that software so the comparison should be using what streamers are using. You basically compared one without eq to one with eq which makes no sense.
Can you please do a direct comparison on SINE MORA vs SINE MORA EX (Xbox 360 vs Xbox One), Nick930?
I think wave 3 is better. I used the Blue Yeti and just got a wave 3. Over all you did a great job on the vid
Just bought a blue yetti nano but do you think I should return and get wave 3?
Both are Good.What's prices?
