Blue Yeti Blackout & Yeti Pro - Unsurprisingly Excellent
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- The Yeti Blackout and the Yeti Pro from Blue are widely respected as standards for reasonably priced desk microphones... Can they make you sound like a radio personality, even if you shouldn't?

I wish Linus had pointed out that the headphone jack is not only a mic monitor, but also a sound card allowing you to use your studio headphones with your mic, and also hear all sound on your PC... this is a HUGE deal for game streamers, and deserved at least a mention.
yeah i think he missed that, cus you know..... Linus good to see you here dude love your vids too
***** Which is weird because xlr is pretty much the only. Reason you'd get the pro over the normal.
i wish j's 2 cents didnt get all jel and butt hurt over linus's videos
but thats what we have you for =)
Thanks for letting us now, i already thought the mic monitor was useless otherwise because i'd need a seperate headphone for my PC audio xD.
You should do a USB microphone showdown:
- Blue Yeti
- Samson C01U
- RØDE NT-USB
- Audio-Technica AT2020
- Razer whatever
@Nimrodius misinformation 100. While xlr mics are light years better, there are still differences between the USB mics
I have used a ton of different Mic's and the YETI pro is definitely the absolute best MIC I have ever had.
I got mine on EBAY sale for 50 dollars, brand new.
Seriously guys this is one of the best Mics ever for Non-Profession work - Music/ Radio/ etc.
Wow proto I literally see you everywhere on youtube. What all mics have you tried, anyhow?
Kuramaz Ōtsutsuki
A standard Logitec one, Logitec basic headset, integrated headsets, Plantronics, Blue Snowball, Yeti, Razar, Kraken, Triton, Xbox Stereo headset, After Glow, Alot... =/
ProtoMario i got my ferrari from an ebay sale for 2,99 along with my 90 inch 15k 300hz tv
ProtoMario ? Very the audio technica at-2020
ProtoMario Røde mics, SE electronics, Shure and the comment above? The one you listed are cheap weak mics.
Oh dear, now I want the pro... but it's almost $100 more than the regular yeti I was originally planning for.... eh I can go a few weeks without eating out.
I know this was fucking 4 years ago but I love you
Xd
I wish they'd make a pro blackout. The all black colour looks cool af
They need to offer a Yeti Blackout Pro. The all black is the ultimate finish and the Pro is the ultimate Blue product.
Spark
2:34 my face when I saw the price.
HAHA
Sergiu lmaooo
Honestly the price isn't that bad. You can find them on sale all the time
I love my yeti. I've had it for years and still going strong.

Max Falk-Johnson reddit r/fedoras moderator comment
I got the blue snowball ice when it came out and to this day I still have it and works perfectly with very good quality and no static. Best mic I owned.
Got the Yeti for $80! I think I'm in love...
How? Well done
+ThaCombine Ebay is a good place.
+ThaCombine I found one with an arm and filter with loo holder for $85 lol
+Techy Girl where?
+ThedarkangelGuy where?
I got a blackout yeti pro with a game(fallout) for $89, the mic alone at the same place was almost $40 more!! It was a steal!

I've had a Blue Yeti for well over 6 years now. Still going strong
The Siren sounds pretty bad imo...
Ye from this video, I agree.
TysonDTD I like it
Same it wasn't an option for me
Honestly, Linus doing stuff like scrapyard and whole room watercooling is why I stayed subbed to this channel (and the occasional relevant review)
Definitely getting the blackout. Theres no reason for me to have XLR and it sounds the same as the pro for me.
Yeah If i were you i would save the money i have the pro and it definitely sound better than the normal yeti but they sound close to each other but the xlr on the pro is a nice feature
Linus and crew keep doing what your doing, every video you make helps me in some way so thank you.
Razer Seiren or Blue Yeti?! I don't know! HELP!
I'm a huge Razer fan and I have their mic, keyboard, speaker, headphones but the Seiren sounds the same and a little pricey than the Yeti. Seiren looks small and sleek where else the Yeti is huge (that's what she said). From where I'm buying the Yeti doesn't have warranty but the Seiren does. Need answers! Thanks.
I mean if you want actual audio quality, go get an XLR mic with an audio interface. My guess is you don't need one, so go get the Blue Yeti as a toy. It's will not be very useful in professional settings however, so keep that in mind.
Not entirely true. I know a voice actress who used a Blue Yeti for the longest and she did work for some pretty big game companies. The Yeti can function for things such as VA, so don't be mislead.
Well, you've this far, may as well get the Razer Sire
+Allen Gregory (Shadowychaos) He's correct, but something like a Neumann or RE20, or SM7B can definitely beat out the Yeti. However all of them are quite pricy. But the are high quality mics.
Lol the Blue Yeti is down right trash compared to other mics at the same price. Same with the Seiren.
love the speedy gonzales runoff of affiliate ad placement sponsorships man! The Crunchyroll spinoff was really fast. People say I am pretty fast but you're one of the guys who can keep up. Fast talker equals fast brain.. I love your sardonic humor as well
For some reason when I record myself on the Yeti I sound like i'm muffled or in a jar. I have it set to the best settings, I placed it in various locations to try and see if it made a difference and it all ended with the same result of my audio just sounding very crappy compared to many of the blue yeti recordings that I have heard on youtube. Could it be my soundcard? I also noticed that many of my other mics that I bought (over50$) sounded terrible too whereas the only mic that sounds crisp and clear is a 20 dollar logitech mic that I own.
+Hellscream A Mic like these COMPLETELY BYPASSES the sound card on ANY PC. The room also plays a a good part in how a mic sounds as well so try tossing up a blanket on the wall and a rug under the desk/chair if you have hardwood floors int he room. Those can make a LARGE difference in how a mic sounds. This goes for anyone who might be reading this.
That's because the Blue Yeti is a bad microphone.
hot opinion friend
maybe get out of the jar?
th-cam.com/video/IMP-IEfg-yg/w-d-xo.html here is a free software solution to the sound control. good tutorial and worth the try
I like that instead of part 1, part 2, etc you've switched to a part 1A, part 1B, etc style.
But de-simplify it further. Part 1A, Part 1A.2, Part 1A.2-2, etc.
Hi Linus you're a beautiful person please continue being yourself.
+Shmaehdawlf Shmitler why do u have to be a doucebag

Brandon Jones What's a "douce"?
Carson Clark u r gay ,joking
Ive had a blue Yeti for 2 years and its still in great conditon
I LOVE THAT INTRO SOOOOOO MUCH!
your videos are the videos i look every day after school....best channel on youtube!!! (i am from germany)
The microphone is calling to me? Ok. Well, what is it saying Linus?
The intro song if anyone was wondering was Supernova by Lazlo. Really good song.
You should do an AT2020 review.
It's funny. I just started researching the Yeti Pro on a whim 10 minutes ago, and here you've JUST uploaded a video on it.
LTT is in my brain!
I'm an audio engineer who's go-to recording chain is well over $3,000 (MXL Genesis II into a Universal Audio 710d into Pro Tools/Sonar...) which unsurprisingly sounds spectacular.
But I've been looking for a USB mic to throw in my backpack with my laptop to do an adequate VO or instrument dub on-the-go. And dare I say, that Yeti Pro sounds great!
Thanks for the review gentleman!
Linus thank you for all your videos. I have re educated myself from being about 6 years out of date thanks to you and the ncix tech tips videos. I'm now building my upgrade pc and thanks to your videos I can confidently build this.
Can I suggest you do a pc build guide for a music recording computer for protools ?
Thanks
The blue yeti is a must for voice overs on youtube. I use mine on every video since I got it and just awesome its worth though getting stock mount for this.
"A few bucks extra" for the Yeti Pro? I appreciate that this video is over a year old, but the Yeti Pro is nearly DOUBLE the price of a standard Yeti on Amazon.co.uk
He was comparing the Yeti Pro to the Razer Seiren
Tennissnowball If I may correct myself, the Yeti Pro is STILL £70 more than the seiren
I think he might be using the Pro edition of the Seiren
if you're still in the market the yeti pro is $130 USD on amazon.com currently
+Richard C. Mongler the yeti pro, on amazon is $240, while the regular yeti is $130
I bought the Blue Yeti and the first thing a guy in a random group chat said to me was: Are you a youtuber?
The mic is very good
YETI BLACKOUT FOR DA WINNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got my Yeti a year ago for 75 bucks, and love it.
Not sure about the new motto haha, sounds a bit... controlling. Peeps should be given the facts so that they can decide for themselves whether they like a product or not, rather than told that they should. As you mostly give facts, it might be better to word it a little differently.
The phrase under the logo changes nearly every video. The CableMod C-Series vid says "Speaking of...", The Myo's says "Luke is sick in this one :(", the LG 31MU97's says "Do as we say, not as we do", and so on. As far as I can tell, they're mostly inside jokes and silly anecdotes, rather than business slogans of any kind. Though it may be a bit strange for a person watching a single video instead of being subscribed to the channel as a whole.
Nessie Anderson
Ohhh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up!
And "We tech things seriously"
In the WAN show they talked about how they have a running list of funny one liners to put in videos, they just add to the list whenever they think of a new one.
Loved your super quiet case buildlog. Long time sub! ;)
I have the Yeti blackout and I really enjoy it.
If u listen to his intro with 7.1 surround sound...holy shit, it sounds 7.1 times better.
I honestly don't mind the upcoming video teases, I like knowing what's next.
Who buys a Yeti Pro for 200 €, when you can get a Rode NT1A for 150 € ?
Someone who wants to use USB? And someone who doesn't want to buy a good interface (at least 120€).
You dont need to buy a audio interface for 120 €, there are a few good interfaces for 60-80 € .
Da du ja ein Landsmann bist antworte ich dir auf deutsch.
Damit kannst du doch gar nicht alles aus dem Mikro herausholen und in diesem Fall kann man dann auch gleich zu einem günstigeren greifen oder eben einem USB-Micro und spart Geld und Platz.
Kown 50+160=210....
Naja finde ich nicht unbedingt, das Focusrite Scarlett Solo bietet die Qualität eines Scarlett 2i2 und kostet weniger als 100 €. Selbst wenn man dann vielleicht ein paar Euro mehr für das Rode NT1A+Audiointerface investieren muss, hat man viel besseren Klang als bei dem Blue Yeti für 200 €.
The stereo demonstration at 3:09 totally blew my mind. I always thought you need a pair of microphones to do this.
its best to have some:

I have a Blue Yeti and I absolutely love it
HE TOLD US WHEN A VIDEO IS COMING!!!
DO THIS ALL THE TIME
Love my yeti as well, it's nice to know that you sound good to your friends when playing games with them for hours!
Will they get in the way of my monitor, and do I buy Blue yeti Pro with usb or blue yeti pro without usb? this is for gaming and streaming only
Literally fell in love with new intro...looped back 10 times
No one ever reviews Shure mics... shame.
I guess they arent Shure what model to review :)
Shure is a rather trusted brand, you're pretty much set with whatever mic you're gonna get from them. I mean get a 58 for live voice, 57 for micing instruments. Idk about their podcast grade mics cause i've never used them but im shure they're good.
***** SM7B mane, but to be fair that is a bit more expensive...
***** Oh forgot, PGA-27 is good for commentaries at similar prices to these mics, Blue Bluebird is also better then the yeti, I got one on sale for $120 off MSRP.
***** SM7B does sound a muffled sometimes, but I said that because it's a broadcast standard, with the SM7B you need a good pre-amp. If your rich and or crazy just commentate with a Neumann U87, haha. There is actually a let's player who does use that though...
I have a Blue Bluebird microphone, blue is an amazing company.
I have the blue yeti blackout, probably the clearest sounding usb mic i have ever heard.
"We tell you what to think." xD
As per usual Linus delivers another good, short and informative review that contains most information you would want.
As someone who started recording on a budget, I was very interested by the blue yeti. It's got many feature you'd want, acts as an external AMP/DAC delivers good sound and is, subjectively, good looking. However I discovered a HUGE downside to it that ended up with taking it off my list.
This microphone simply won't fit into any third party shock mount I could find. Blue does offer, for a shocking 60€!, a mount that is, frankly, useless.
My conclusion for the yeti is therefore as follow: it's a very good mic, perfect for voice-over, podcasting and streaming, BUT it can NOT sit on the desk you'll be using. This kills it for podcasting, for me, with my cherry blue keyboard.
As an alternative I would recommend the AT2020 USB+, not as good value for the money, but is compatible with many, affordable or even cheap, shockmounts.
Now the audio technica at2020 xlr or usb or even both? :D
Finally a new updated video of blue yeti mics
Where's Markiplier's sexy voice when you need it...
YASSS HIS VOICE IS SO SEXY AND DEEP ROFL
+formanbradley Why in the name of non religiousness do you think a man that great is shit? Why in the name of Albert Einstein do you take the time out of your day to dismiss our opinions?
whether you like him or not he's done more good than me and you combined
The Blue Yeti Blackout Is so nice!
Blue Snowball club anyone?
I haven't got one but sure.
I have one
I have a potato that is round, does that count too?
Tacodude11NL If you can speak into it sure
$1 amazon lapel club right here
Thank you for this comparison of the Blue Yeti with the Blue Yeti Pro. I'm just getting into the world of Voice Over and am shopping for a new home microphone set-up. Many things to consider.
Anyone here in 2020? I want a new mic for christmas
Check out a channel called Podcastage, he does microphone reviews. And he is pretty entertaining.
and this videos IS NOT sponsored thank you
Can you do a review of Audio-Technica AT 2035 and a Focusrite Scarlett Solo?
linus your my favorite computer youtuber you cover everything in your vids it helps befor i buy things like this mic for example keep up the good work
Can you do a review of Blue Snowball?
It's really good for its price
Mak Nation i think the yeti is much better than the snowball.
AlwaysHack snowball is more of an entry level/ budget mic so of course yeti is better
I'm guessing this guy knows a lot about snowballing.
Rod Munch mkay...
Love the new intro, Linus. You tell me what to think, and I agree completely.

I own two Blue microphones, including one Yeti Pro, and I love both of them. They are great.
Does the blue yeti pro get better quality if it's connected to an audio interface
yes
+Samuel Kriikkula but is it worth it ?
Nathan Mercado Not if u get the yeti pro, get another microphone if u want to use an audio interface and get the same quality for the same price
+Samuel Kriikkula Maybe an at2020 xlr mic?
Nathan Mercado Go for that its awesome
It's Saturday night... waiting for that scrapyard 1b. Got my popcorn. Can't wait.
My pc is Intel core 2 quad q6700 and i have nvidia quadro fx570 graphics and 3gb ram , when i had windows xp my pc ran great i just put windows 7 64bit and its laggy as and my fps on games all went down to unplayable is it a ram problem i need more or wot?? Please answer
gpu
That computer isn't to good...
You dont need windows 64 bit if you dont have more than 8gigs of ram
Nearly everything need an update
You need a full overhaul. Also, that Graphics Card isn't a gaming oriented GPU...
Yay. I was planning to buy the pro as an upgrade from the original for the 24 bit, the original only does 16.
It is the microphone Leafy is using to hide his weak chin ?
it used to be but since he's brave enough to show it he got a new mic (-:
VoltZ If you're leafy you can...
...can try that is.
Thanks Linus and co. I can also recommend the Rode NT1A microphone, connected via the Blue Icicle.
Razer vs Blue va Blue. 3 bad mic's. The only reason Blue brand mic's are so popular is because they sound a lot better than a headset mic. But go ask any professional voice actor or radio host their opinion on Blue brand mic's. They're bad compared to a proper professional solution like AT4050
That mic costs several times more. It's a completely irrelevant comparison...
So your logic is that if there are better mics then these suck? These are all great sounding mics and could easily be used for certain professional situations. Obviously there are better mics. All of these are under 250.
YOU COMPLETE IDIOT. The reviews here are for what the typical person is looking for. When you go buy a microphone you dont want to sky rocket that far up. You start with something else, see if you like it or not. If you want to review look it up and stop putting shitty comments on videos because you're upset.
durp
***** The issue is that people are buying these giant microphones for voice over/ podcasting/ narration and they really aren't meant for that. These microphones all use 3 small diaphragm condensers, when in reality you'd be much better off using a single *large* diaphragm condenser. LDC's offer better low frequency response, with a less harsh top end.
There are several USB LDC's for the same price as those in this video, which offer better quality in nearly every aspect.
The better analogy would be someone buying a cheap CPU and trying to run it as a GPU; it's just not meant for that function and an equally priced GPU would serve you much better.

Just have the blue yeti silver for 1 day.
Im in love with it. Its awesome.
Does blue yeti work with windows 10?
+A Kid From Africa Yes it does.
Like a kid from Africa is getting a yeti. You can't even eat
Shmaehdawlf Shmitler You can buy a lot if you rob rich white guys.
A Kid From Africa A fucking men.
+A Kid From Africa that escalated quickly
I've had this for over 2 years, amazing mic for the money
#Razer forlife #fanboyswag
Got my Blue Yeti Studio for $100 new at Guitar Center. Which is weird because they're $150 on the website and I was so excited when I went into the store and saw they were $50 less. It's the most amazing thing ever.
Linus: what kind of microphone do you use,i am asking,because the sound of your videos is perfect and crisps and loud
So many reviews make me want to grab my soap box and preach in a Monty Python Life of Brian style to the surrounding audience however, this review is both informative and entertaining - Thank you!
Excellent review, the side by side and direct comparison is something we want to see with product reviews.
Thanks for taking the time in making this! Great review!
You should check the mics form T.Bone (for ex. the SC450 USB) It's very cheap but really delivers an awesome audio quality!
I bought this with the Blue Lolas from Amazon. They were on sale for 143 but Amazon gave me a discount that totaled 107 USD. The Lolas by themselves are $250 so I think that's pretty much a steal.
nice touch of approaching nirvana at the end
Linus, one more mic to test. The Rode NT USB, just came out as a competitor. PPLEAAASE do it!
I'v had a Yeti Pro for a long time now it's great for making videos, and just talking with your friends on skype or whatever you use.
Awesome new intro! Love the changing text as well
This videos definitively put a end in my questions.
Thank you so much!
Blue Yeti will be my choice!
I'd like to see more videos about mics. Specifically a video about the AudioTechnica AT2020 USB and another video about the Blue Snowball.
I don't know how hard it would be to do but maybe a shorter 2-3 minute video as well as the 9-12 minute video. NEED.MORE.LINUS
im glad the yeti got the seal of approval.. i love my yeti and use it all the time.
Listening to this with Tannoy studio monitors, and I don't hear enough of a difference to justify buying the pro vs the blackout version.
A good video with decent comparisons. Considering that I need a new mic for my rig, using your input, I'll just need to get the yeti blackout because I don't need the great mic quality the pro affords. I also plan on getting a swingarm deskclamp mount for the mic as having it sit above my monitors but out of frame will be perfect for pickups.
Thanks for the review Linus!
I have the blackout. I love it.
One thing I noticed you say was something like "of course this mic should sound better it cost more."
which is actually false. I personally am an audio engineer and one thing i learned is that the 150 dollar mic is just as good as the 4000 dollar one. It all just depends on how you E.Q it.
Wish I would have seen this before purchasing the blackout, would have been worth picking up the yeti pro.
this is unfair. you're double ad'ing us. First the normal ad and then the in video ad. This is a slap in the face of those who don't use and adblock on your channel Linus.
