Thanks for the detailed explanation. Great comparison. Because of your detailed explanation, I decided to go with Blue Yeti (Classic) which is available around $90 in Black Friday Deals.
You are the goat i can see the time and dedication you put in your videos i got given the nano recently and with everything ive seen i have no problem with it thank you for taking your time to make these videos because you help so many people you honestly have no clue
Great job with the video, mate! Really good job at making all the settings and characteristics of the mics simple and easy to understand. Maybe this is a bit late but I just wanted to add that you might have gotten the setting ‘cardioid’ mixed up with something else. Either that or I misunderstood your pronunciation. That’s all though, great job with everything else.
Great review! This is what I was looking for. Thanks! BTW, micro USB is not an upgrade for me. Mini USB is more sturdy as a socket/plug and accepts thicker wires. Also feature-wise it's the same as micro USB.
To be honest, I've never in my life seen a cord break so much as the mini USBs on the Blue Yeti, and I've been around using USB cords in all sorts of devices. Creators complain all the time about this, because due to it being chonky and to the downward position it needs to stay plugged, the tip bends much more than a thinner and maleable cord would in the same position. I broke around 3 of those myself just moving the mic forward or backward on the original stand, imagine people who move them a lot. Or maybe I'm the Hulk, that's also possible.
Thanks! I find that the blue yeti microphones are the best/easiest to use for console content creation and I’ve been trying to find out if the blue yeti x is worth it or not since I can now find it for 100 dollars or even lower. Thanks for this review!
I won a raffle of my choice between the X and the Nano, and didn't know a thing about these, so thanks for helping me make my decision! I picked the Big Boy X because I want to get into streaming and my microphone SUCKS
@@Ps-we3pp I do! But I also should note that I have no frame of reference with any other microphones. And I still haven't really gotten into streaming, so I don't have an audience's opinion either.
Nice succinct review! I am new to your channel and i like how you indicated at the start to go to 1.23 since you were talking about exisiting viewership details.
To me, they all sound about the same. It seems to me that your choice comes down to how many fancy features versus your budget. I’m about to get started in voice overs and podcasting, and I found a brand new Blue Yeti Nano on sale for about 80 bucks. Sounds like I made a pretty good choice.
It depends what you were listening with. Computer speakers or cheap headphones might not show a difference. Listening on Bang and Olufsen headphones, there's a very clear difference between the first two and the X. The X is brighter and clearer.
I got so lucky. Wanted a Blue Yeti to start voiceover and found a woman on OfferUp who barely used hers. When we met up she just let me have it for free. I made a diy soundproof box and it only costs about $20 total. I'd call that a win considering if I book a voiceover gig my overhead was barely a factor.
There are also other great usb mics. Samson g track pro, elgato wave 1 and 3, hyperx quadcast, razer seiren etc. But I still like the blue yeti original the most cause of the looks, features and since it's a phenomenon in its field
I have the nano tho😂, should i upgrade to a big blue yeti, or stay with my nano?, i mean i adjusted the mic a ton to make it sound good and honestly i don't feel bad about the result (the only problem is that my micro USB cable is dying) but i still like it. But idk, should i upgrade and even more knowing that theres a lot of mics like the SM7B or a quadcast?
Great video! These are all good mics. I found that the Nano sounded slightly better than the classic yeti and the X. I like them all. The Nano is perfect for someone who is looking for a smaller mic for the desk and to travel with. It's too bad the X costs more than the original because I think the indicators would help beginners getting used to having a mic. My favorite feature is the mute button being standard on all three. Nobody wants to look into software to mute a mic.
it depends for what you plan to use the microphone, there are indeed better and much better microphones than the Blue Yeti original or X, but you have to consider also what you would need other than just the microphone, to record correctly using a different solution. The good part of the blue Yeti is that is a all around microphone with which you can do whatever you wish without spending a fortune or having a professional recording studio. You might find that most "better" microphones than the blue yeti only have a cardioid pattern, which is good if you use the microphone only for the purpose of talking into it, but if you want to record your musical instrument, just to make an example, you might need to buy a second microphone with different characteristics.
Yeti original sounds best among these, sounds natural. I have the Yeti original and also had the Nano. But, of all the USB mics I like Audio Technica AT2020USB+ the most--very natural sounding and it's built like military grade (and didn't want any of their later "upgraded" iterations; the USB connection is old school and it's 16-bit but still sounds the best). Also, I had Elgato Wave 3 (white one), which looked good but sounded rumbly/robotic--very not natural sounding. I found that the 16-bit vs 24-bit is like number of megapixels on camera--higher doesn't necessarily mean better. Thanks for the review.
I don's hear any difference between the standard and the Nano. I'd be surprised if there not exactly the same inside save for one less mic and the on-mic controls.
Great review. I have the nano do you think the x would be a good upgrade? I feel the extra capsules will have a better overall sound what do you think? Plus it is getting annoying having to go into the software for the gain.
What’s the distance that one can be from the microphone for clear sound. I am streaming yoga classes and this one is by far the best. What is “gain?” Thanks for such a great review. you are the reason I bought the Yeti Nano.
About a foot or so gain is basically just the imput so the higher the gain the more the microphone will pick up the lower the gain the less the mic will pick up if I were you I would honestly pickup a lavaliere mic instead of a dslr mic if your moving around a ton
Thanks for detail great explanation and comparison. My i know what microphone do you use to record this clip ? it sound so good, i like to hear the sound. it is not so sharp but crispy sound. not to low but heavy enough. perfect.
i'm having a problem with my blue yeti x. I plugged it in, and i started to hear an echo of myself, but it didn't make sense. i can hear all the surround sounds way too well, and any slight tap i hear and i don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help me out?
Have used Blue Yeti since 2016, still really good and will probably not change it for a few years I guess. Only minus is the connection. Wish it was USB-c.
I've used to a lot of mics in my life but I've never seen one like the original blue yeti now I didn't use the x version so I can't say anything about it and I also didn't use a mic with dack and amplifier these are quite expensive and I didn't risk at cuz I might not be able to set it up so I used the normal mics that depends on the internal sound card in the motherboard and I think blue yeti is my favorite not to mention it's been 10 years and not only it the price of it didn't go down but went up a little. What a mic blue yeti is
@VicariousNick how does it work when you are having conference calls using speakers - does the mic works well and doesn't capture the audio that comes out the external speakers?
Because its not a dynamic mic but a condensor. They both have pro and cons but normaly you take a dynamic for live perfomances (cuz its less sensitive) and a condensor for studio singing. The shure sm7b has a full bodom thats why many like it (and it looks great) but is less detailed/crisp at the highs. So its pleasent to listen to during long podcasts i guess.
I am in Podcaster I was in a tie budget but I needed recorder because I McClanahan was a is a XLR Tristan 58 so I didn't wanna buy another microphone so that is why I went that way and I also one tool Bring Gaston moly which that's the only way I could do that
Personally I would go with the Yeti pro for the hardware features built into the mic itself over the Rode. Both are great sounding mics so when it comes to sound quality they would be an equal match
@@Nicktechnoo Okay, I see. I would like to ask you one more question as the Shure Mv7 also caught my eye. Is it worth buying when used via USB or is it worth investing only when used via XLR? Is it worth buying, or would a cheaper XLR microphone be better?
@@adison2117 it all comes down to your budget. Buying a USB mic only involves the mic and your PC. If you want to go with an XLR mic you now need a decent XLR cable, a mic stand, and an audio interface that can convert the XLR signal to USB. You can get some decent bundle options for around $100 through Amazon but the audio quality from those mics compared to lets say the Rode or Blue Yeti Pro USB mics is no contest. The USB mics would sound better. However if you wouldn’t mind spending around $499 for a decent XLR mic, a decent audio interface, and a stand then I would clearly say to go the XLR route for the best possible sound quality
How did that iPhone switch go 😆😆 I got the 14 coming from the 22 ultra. I returned the iPhone after two days and got the 23 ultra instead because just no. The iPhone reminds me of a standard issued breadline phone or something. So plain, so boring.

The quality of your videos are impeccable..camara angles, script,audio.... awesome to watch
Great comparison and thank you for having detailed time stamps :)
this is the best review of these mics its quick and gets to the point very fast.

I'd say these are the greatest USB mics imo. Especially for the price and they are perfect for starter content creators.

a man of culture with the beyerdynamic dt 770's I see
Bro you can hear a big difference going from the Nano to normal blue yeti. Still feel like Blue Yeti is the best microphone for its price

Can the Original and X actually record in stereo so that there is two channels with separate content?
Thanks for the video !
Nice video. I choose the Yeti Classic. Thanks.
I got the blue yeti X . thanks for the video
love this, sold 150 in costco
Awesome stuff!!! Thank You
Thank you so much this helped a lot!
I prefer the sound of your mic. What are you using?

Hi Nick, i wanna sing and play guitar and make insta reels. Will Yeti Nano work. or any other usb mic which can conmect to iphone you wanna suggest.
15:02 It sets the mix between computer output and mic monitoring through the headphones.
I don's hear any difference between the standard and the Nano. I'd be surprised if there not exactly the same inside save for one less mic and the on-mic controls.
In the intro, there's no way the SM7B is the mic you're using. Were you using one of the Blues?
Yeti x is the best right
Thank you for information
Hey thanks for this video. I’m trying to figure out which one is best for ASMR
Good video im thinking about getting a new mic. I still have the blue snowball mic.
Great video. Made really easy choosing the right model for me. :)
The yeti x sound like more sterio and loud enough😅its clear asmr more
Hello you buy this all microphone ?
The Nano is great! I'm a beginner, so just learning how to use it. But good sound!
Honestly the nano and regular blue yeti sound very similar with the nano sounding tinnier.
Hey man idk if you’ll see this but what type of camera do you use ? I need a good webcam or camera to do reactions
Great review. I have the nano do you think the x would be a good upgrade? I feel the extra capsules will have a better overall sound what do you think? Plus it is getting annoying having to go into the software for the gain.

@@throbulence that's what I do with the yeti I have now, but with the X I got, it was extremely echoey and I wasn't able to fix it.
How do you upgrade the firmware in the classic Blue Yeti? It isn't detected by the Blue Sherpa software on Windows or Mac.
I think the Blue Sherpa software has been phased out in favor of the Logitech G Hub software.
why is micro usb better than mini usb? isnt the latter more robust?
Have used Blue Yeti since 2016, still really good and will probably not change it for a few years I guess. Only minus is the connection. Wish it was USB-c.
What about keyboard noise?

Shure SM7B
why does the nano seems "crispier" than the original ????
@VicariousNick how does it work when you are having conference calls using speakers - does the mic works well and doesn't capture the audio that comes out the external speakers?
Bro can you review the yeti pro too

can u review the blue spark digital
To me they sounded basically the same on cardioid.
Wicked helpful man. What are your thoughts on the blue ember microphone?
I haven't tested it myself so I don't have an opinion on it sadly
I really do prefer the sound of nano.
gonna be honest the yeti-x and classic yeti sounds no different then your xlr mic only thing is you dont have any pop filters for the yetis
Bro you says cheapest to most expensive but then call the first one the blue x ?
I am in Podcaster I was in a tie budget but I needed recorder because I McClanahan was a is a XLR Tristan 58 so I didn't wanna buy another microphone so that is why I went that way and I also one tool Bring Gaston moly which that's the only way I could do that

good video
8:20 nice burp
solid 6/10

More gain on Blue Yeti mean more White noise you'll need to remove by editing it
