Intro

Trying to pick that perfect microphone for your needs can be hard work. So many models to choose from; USB/3.5, condencer/dynamic, directional/omnidirectional etc. Price is almost always a criteria too.

This time we'll take a look at Blue Microphone's Yeti model. Blue's microphones seem to be a favorite for many streamers and content creators and hopefully after this review you'll know if Yeti is the one for your needs.

Bundle

Bundle contains more or less the things that one could expect to receive with a microphone that gets plugged in to an USB port; a stand, the Yeti microphone, ~6 feet USB cable and an instruction manual.

I try not to comment on the boxes that the products come in. But I have to say that Blue did a good job on marketing department by adding the yeti theme to the packaking and the manual. A nice little touch.
