That's it. I made up my mind. I'm buying the one made by Blue.
Same
do you have the budget?

thats what I thought
Exactly like they are twins

"the yeti is recording, Yeti is recording
the blue snowball is recording, blue snowball's recording
Camera 1 is recording
*CaMeRa 2 Is ReCoRdInG* "
I would give this a like, but looking at the amount that's already there, I can't bring myself to do it.
Demented01
I agree.
Yo momma is recording
CAMERA NUMBER 1!!!!!
My only regret is that I have but one like to give.
They sound the same. So I'll buy the more expensive one

That’s why I’m subbing to him
With Marikipliers voice???
The digital interference on the Blue Yeti is rough.
mingleing with earthlings are we?
Hey podcastage
I was listening to this without the video and I took my phone out of pocket just to say the same thing, Bandrew...
And I've heard it in multiple Blue microphones. Is it possible it's an issue with the cable?
whats up mom
Neither should be bought tbh, once you go above 60 best move is a cheap xlr setup
I bet this guy's voice sounds amazing even on laptop mics
Exactly.
I heard some static coming off the yeti which disappeared as you switched to the snowball
that is the exact reason why im hopefully gonna get the snowball
The Third King yeti s better but it’s static bc he doesn’t have a pop filter on it
but is that how technology works?
I heard the same thing
usb 3.0 and 2.0 have nothing to do with it, i know multiple people with a yeti and its just a thing that either is there or is not there, a lot of yeti's have it no matter what usb port you plug them in to, and some dont have it, my best guess as to why a lot have it and some dont have it is due to bad QC standards on the more budget series of mic's, its a shame but that is the only thing i can think of.
a reason for me to stay away from blue all together, because if you contact them about it they will tell you that it is because of your usb port, or you droped it or you broke it. in other words you are not taken seriously by blue if you contact them about the whine noise
Dayum the camera 2's framerate is painful to watch
Turns out I had the shutter speed at 1/20 and the wrong ISO. I suck! Sorry!

Eh, didn't bother me too much.

Can you make a review of your voice. I want to buy something like that, I'm done with mine lol
0:52 "These are two sister microphones.
Brother microphones?
Sibling microphones.
They're friends.
They're together...
but not in that way"
That was a roller coaster
Why not sibilings and together? Sounds great to me!

This is so helpful, thanks! Also, you're really patient and clear with your presenting style, makes it accessible for everyone without being partronising.
They sound very similar I have the snowball ice I think I’ll keep that no need for an upgrade thanks man! 🤓
This is by far the best video to figure out the differences.
The constant switching might first sound like a bad idea, but it is actually a "sound" idea and gives us a really good overview.
Thank you for this. You made me go for the right choice.
Great voice, audio quality, and thorough review. love the amount of detail you go through with your breakdown of mics. way better than most youtube review videos. keep up the good work.
I've watched a few comparison videos on this and you've done the best job I've seen. Thank you.
Dude, you're so nice. I'm actually a musician, not a voice artist, and I keep coming back to see your videos even if the content isn't 100% for me. I discovered you in the NTA-1 vs. AT-4040 and found you pretty funny and natural. Amazing job!
I used a Yeti for about a year and a half and got a great sound out of it with a little work. Nowadays, I use the Rode NT1 which doesn't need much help to sound great. Great video, Mike!
Is that the black Nt1? I've been thinking of getting one of those recently.
That's the one. Check out my channel and you can hear how it sounds
Thanks.
Thanks for this tutorial! I just bought a Yeti yesterday. I made a few test recordings prior to watching your video and they sounded horrible. Turns out I had it on cardioid and was speaking into the back of the mike! After watching your video, I turned it around and (adjusted the gain way down) and now it sounds so much better!
This is only the 2nd video of yours that I’ve ever seen and I can immediately tell that you were (or are?) a morning show radio jock. You have a very easy-going, friendly delivery. I’ve found your videos helpful too. Thanks.
*This is the BEST review I've ever watched* Keep it UP!
What I like on these kind of videos is to have a short period of silence so that it is possible to hear the inherent noise floor of the microphones. Could you do that in your next videos please? Great comparison btw.
love your personality! awesome vid! cheers!
Thanks! I took your advice and got a snowball - now my videos sound amazing!
Been watching since the inception of the channel. All the reaper stuff, the acoustic panels, the whisper room, evening. Love it. Keep doing what you do. The resource is invaluable. Thank you!
Hey David. =)
Yay!
Hey booth junkie. I am starting a stream up soon with my twin brother and I was wondering if you knew if we would be able to use two blue snowballs in the same room without getting any echo? Thanks
Renat lmfao eat your words
@@renat_CIA bruh this aged so poorly but so nicely
Renat Damn dude you look dumb af now lmaooo
Ayo
@@renat_CIA says who lmao
Dude, props from 2020.
Thanks for the help my guy. your personality resonates!
Thank you so much for the frequent switching when recording and speaking normally. That's how I do my tests when trying to decide on filters.
Did anyone else feel like the difference was more and more noticeable as the video went on?
Ikr
Here
He changed the pickup shape as he went along and the gain of the mic(yeti). As well, it looked like he was getting closer to the mics which would change how the bassyness of his voice is making the difference all the more apparent.
yeah
also your brain quickly picked up ways to distinguish the sounds that you can recognize and understand. I thought the same but when i went back you could hear from the start
The microphones may sound the same at first, but I've been using the Snowball for years now and I really notice that the Yeti is way better. You only start to notice it when your ears are already adjusted to the sound of the Snowball after a lot of editing :)
This is great and in depth. Very helpful. Thank you! Really appreciate this video
A Really good review, thank you Booth Junkie !
I have an old Radioshack Realistic branded Super Cardioid Mic. Nice finish, 1/4" output, and sounds great.
I came here for a mic review, but instead, I fell in love...

Thanks Mike! Perfect comparison for someone who is looking for a 'quick and dirty' mic solution for VoIP, just a step better than the laptop mic. Answered all my questions, and kept it interesting.
Many thanks for making this comparison review video! It helped me out a lot and I ended up buying a Snowball iCE with which to start my vlogs.
Great review. Your channel has really become one of my favorites to watch. If you ever get the chance, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Kaotica Eyeball just cause everyone I've seen review it never really goes far to prove the claim that it "takes the room out of the equation".
Battle of the Blue Balls :P
The Blue Yeti is not a snowball.
😂😂😂
must be cold
@@aleksssss you ruined the joke stop being depressed
Nice comment but i couldnt like bc its on 420
This guys seems so polite i watched of the other mic video and he was being so careful and polite.
Thank you sooooo much for making this video, now I know how good the snowball is and this video is a great help!!! Thanks again.
I'm starting to use the snowball for my setup now so hope it goes well I do want to upgrade later on
Mike only hits the expensive mics.
There not expensive anything lower is like the mic on a pc
I guess you haven't seen the other videos where he smacks the Senheiser and the Neumann? But thanks for clarifying.
I'm new to the channel
Yooo CJ I didn't expect to see you here xD
No he should review the nw 800 and bw 800
Man, this is the first of your videos I've seen- and I'm hooked. Insta-subbed, notifications turned on- I'm excited to delve into your backlog and see what else you have, thanks for the videos!
I really liked your video, specially your final words!
Dude, go apply for a luke skywalker stunt double Right NOW
99% you will get accepted.
PizzaDeliveryMan RIGHT
Yeh get to the stunt part later...
Too late now
That aged well

Sir, wanted to know when is Hangover 4 releasing. Huge fan!

Underrated comment :)
Side by side mic, It's really Excellent review. Thank you so much.
Just bought the blue snowball mic. Very happy with my purchase :)
Well, this video just lets me know how much sound treatment on a recording area makes a difference. Goodness do these sound different coming from your setup than mine.
I love your videos! You are so good commenter and it is so relaxing to watch you talking about microphones, I can listen to you all night :D
Have a nice day!
Thank you for posting this, it is very helpful!
Loved the video, funny, and your voice is so chill to listen to. :)
I have a Snowball, and it’s actually better than people think. With good EQ and compression, you can get really good sounds out of them (obviously not as good as you could get with high quality mics, but still).
I have yet to hear good audio from a snowball.
*clicks video randomly to see how my Snowball stacks up*
"Oh hey, his voice sounds familiar..."
...
"Oh shit, Mike DelGaudio! The guy what spoops me on Nosleep!"
What the fuck I've binged 20 of his videos but I never noticed it was THE Mike from the Nosleep podcast!
Appreciate your video! Looking for a new mic and these are the 2 i was wondering about. Good stuff man!
Very clear sounds ;) Thanks
I bought my Yeti on prime day for about US$70. I'm glad you made this video, we can clearly hear the difference.
This is really well done and thorough. I am starting a content program to build credibility as a financial advisor, so audio quality directly translates to perceived professionalism and expertise. What really made the difference for me was the proximity effect comparison. The bassiness of the Snowball would make me sound overbearing, and I don't want that. Also, I like being able to monitor the Yeti and change the recording pattern... in case I do interviews and need the figure eight pattern. Thank you!
This is exactly what I came here for. Thank you so much!
Beautiful review. I'm standing in Target right now trying to decide. Subscribed!
Thanks dude
Holy crap the snowball is like talking through a PVC pipe and the yeti has this high-pitched wail in the background. Weirdly enough, I don't normally hear that in the yeti, wondering if you have a lemon of sorts. Snowball has a slight one, but not as noticeable.
Thank you for the cheap comparisons though, I appreciate the no bs comparisons. Makes it easier to recommend low-budget mics to friends!
Hello,
Thank you for all the great work that you do. I have both and have sold them in favor of Zoom H2s as the best USB mic out there and is most versatile. Have you used one?
Also, something you said here reminded me of a request I have for you. Will you please talk about mic techniques and what I can do learn more, Will you please direct me to where I can find more information on the subject or perhaps you may consider creating a course?
Thank you in advance.
Hey man great review straight to the point loved it
This guy makes me happy :D
Seems so chill and nice
Blue Yeti is fantastic. I use it for 3 years now. Works like new. awesome vid as always!
How did you remove the background noise? And doesnt it pickup your keyboard and mouse?
it's a good beginner mic, but it's very sensitive, picks up every sound, and aren't durable
My Yeti Pro USB terminal failed. Only used it a few time.
Hettik turn the gain on the mic down
I may not have a Blue mic, however I do have another cardioid mic and record quite a bit. So, all you have to do if you're not doing actual broadcasting, but recording instead, you'd have to go into your sound editing software, select a portion of the track (I use audacity, and it's worked out well so far) that has no voice, then go to the Noise Reduction setting and click "Get Profile". Then, highlight the whole track, turn the top slider in the noise reducer up or down, preview it before you do anything. If you don't hear any noise, click okay and you're done. Be careful, though. You don't want to end up reducing so much that you end up affecting the voice.
Snowball was my first ever mic, but yesterday i bought my second ever mic, the yeti, as i have heard great reviews n it.
Hi, a few years later. Which mic did you prefer or do you maybe have a new mic that you like more now?
I like the tone from the Yeti and the pattern select works way better than I expected.
I'm about to get the blue yeti and I'm so excited.
I have the Snowball Ice (my first mic actually) and it sounds about the same as the regular Snowball. Has an even worse stand though. Its only when you start using "proper" microphones that you realise that these just aren't in the same league. Not bad for starting out though.
AgingJedi I would completely agree, glad I use the Blue Spark + Audient ID14 these days
Oh wow didn't t think to find you here Jedi :D
AgingJedi i love your videos
oh, hello
what are some good microphones?
So which one should I get?
Litterally steals my heart with that opening 🤣 loves it. I just decided on my yeti X btw
Very informative. Thank you, sir!
why am i watching this when i own a yeti?
because ur a cool guy
Personal justification for your purchase? 😇👍
I might go with the Snowball
it sounds pretty damn good, and I'm on a budget's budget
have you buy it ? how is it ?
Abdel_florent 6 I’ve had it for 1 month and love it! I mainly use it for discord while hanging & gaming with friends. But also for MANY zoom calls. Friends and colleagues always ask (during both gaming & meetings) what mic I’m using because of the quality. Also, I’m a dumbass and figured out how to use it, so it’s idiot proof too. No problems at all, I’ve found that having roughly 6inches away from your mouth gives the best audio.
Snowball
Thank you for your honest opinion on them!
I’ve just started watching your channel, really enjoying what I’ve seen so far. I bought the Yet the other day as I wanted to started doing some voice work and wanted something very affordable to see if I have the chops for it. As you say, you can audition with the Yeti, it sounds OK for what it is. If I get a job ill borrow my friends NT1 and preamp. Thanks for the channel. Love it.
Your vacation was probably a trip to Tatooine
the yeti has a horrible high pitch buzzing sound.
No you.
Bearlogger put on head phones it’s static in the background he doesn’t have a pop filter on it or it could be some yetis have it some don’t
Jesus. Its just me saying no u to my mate. Dont join convos you aren't a part of Frost.
It can be fixed by lowering the gain.
@@Bearlogger No.....*Omega* YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Great vid, thanks for the comparison.
This is so important, thanks!!!
the yeti has a high pitched ring to it you can hear it when he switches
I can hear a high pitched whine coming from the Yeti. It costs more, so I would assume that it would generally be better, but that whining is driving me crazy.
The Best Tip for Beginners starts at the end 12:00 I don't want anyone to miss that! Definitely worth listening to the whole video just to get a good idea of sound quality, features, etc as you can find many similar elsewhere. I'm an indecisive tech junkie on a budget, I really needed to hear that, I knew where to start and had a few in mind including the snowball. Thanks for the video :) I prefer the sound of the snowball, not sure why, I personally find it sound better, this video is helped me decide between any blue line and a non blue line, although I love the sound of blue I will save that for the future as the options available in the ------ are much better for the price.
Love these videos. Side note: My first mic was a Snowball. It was such a thin, dry, tinny, pant-load, I didn't even bother to try to sell it. I got much more satisfaction by throwing it in the bin. In retrospect, I wish I'd had someone give me a nice softball pitch so that I could have heard it crack against a nice wooden bat.
dang, the voice really makes the mic. wow
too bad, you did not do the distance testing. I am wondering if you stand 2 Metters away, what 's difference between both?
禹天工程 I am the same distance from my snowball as he is. Mine doesnt detect shit. Good luck getting anything out of 2 meters
I just realized how late I am sorry xd
Best review style, thanks for this
may the force be with you
Samson Go Mic vs C01-u pro vs q2u
It was really weird when he had it on stereo on the yeti
It took me 7 whole minutes of listening to your voice to understand why I recognized your name. Thanks so much for continuing to lend your voice to nosleep! Your work is greatly enjoyed!.... damn I'm slow on the uptake...
Awesome video. helped me a lot to decide.
is it just me or do you guys hear the faint buzzing in the background of the Yeti?
Thats on both i noticed that too
OK Mike, I think it's time for a USB Mic shootout, from the snowball on up --- samson, AT, Apogee, shure, the whole gang! Maybe you can get sweetwater or B & H to send you samples???
Even if the video is old I found it extremely useful! Thank you so much for this keep up the good work I loved this video so one more subscriber my friend
best review, comparison. thanks man!
You look like Bradley Cooper in American Sniper
I am getting yeti
Very detailed review 👍
Thank you Luke!
