This product failed after a year in the middle of recording. Since then, the support have confirmed receipt of my microphone, but weeks later have not given any update about it. This is despite multiple emails, multiple ticket updates through their own site, multiple tickets submitted to their site, all resulting in complete radio silence from a company that now has essentially stolen my property. No phone number is listed for any kind of support or customer contact, and the ones I've found for their physical offices go unanswered. I've worked for many types and levels of support, and any time an email was not responded to in 1 hour was considered a failure. This company took a WEEK to issue an automated/canned RMA email. They confirmed receipt of my property once it was received, however no further update have been given in the weeks since.
In short, they are incompetent thieves. This is pathetic. Avoid this company like the plague.

The Yeti, on the other hand, is a very high fidelity microphone, it has tunable directionality, and maintains balance when even significantly off axis. I set it on my desk and can dictate with the best fidelity and accuracy I have ever experienced with Dragon. Dragon now is actually useful. And...it looks way cool on my desk!

Best option by FAR for dictating to Dragon!
By Stephen Denagy on November 2, 2017
Best USB Microphone ever! OK, sounds repetitive. But it is true. While podcasting would be fun, one overlooked use is for dictation. I use Dragon on my Mac. I have spent over $1,000 fruitlessly on microphones from Samson, Phillips SpeechMike, Plantronics, and many others. NONE of them are consistent. I have decided the microphone quality is generally quite poor, as is noise rejection. They are generally poorly directional, having immense shifts in frequency response depending how off axis you are. This radically affects recognition with even a few degrees off axis speech.By Stephen Denagy on November 2, 2017

Hot Hitz Radio Loves Blue Yeti
By ReliaStream on May 19, 2016
Now this has to be the best mic for streaming radio stations. The best I have run into. The one feature we love is the headphone jack built into the mic. If you ever tried to stream through a Windows pc you will notice a delay between your live voice and what goes through the mic. Most radio dj's use headphones when going live. If you have .5 to 1 second delay this can really mess you up. There is no delay when you plug your headphones directly into the mic. The Blue mic seems to be built very well and the sound quality also seems very good. So far so good. The Blue Yeti is Hot Hitz Radio's main mic now!!

Mikrofon
Reviewed in Germany on January 22, 2019
Wer ein Mikrofon sucht, dass preislich unter 150€ liegt, wird mit dem Blue Yeti wsl sehr zufrieden sein. Für Teamspeak und auch für nicht professionelle akustische Sachen wie Gitarre oder Gesang taugt das Yeti wirklich. (Hobby mäßig)Reviewed in Germany on January 22, 2019
Einziges Manko meiner Meinung nach sind die Schrauben mit denen das Mikro am Fuß befestigt ist. Diese werden von Zeit zu Zeit locker und man muss sie nachdrehen.
Falls Gesang oder Instrumente damit aufgenommen werden würde ich auch einen Popschutz empfehlen inclusive Mikroarm, da man sonst gern mal Tischgeräusche oder ähnliches mit aufnimmt.
Zum Mikro selbst. Es verfügt über 4Modi', welche ich in den Anhang posten werde :) Ich verwende nur den Cardioid Modus zum Singen und Gamen (TS) - da bin ich sehr zufrieden mit. Die anderen Modi habe ich nicht wirklich getestet.
Weiters gibt es ein Poti mit dem sich der Gain verstellen lässt und das ganze ist auf höhster Stufe dann wirklich sehr empfindlich. Habe das Mikro neben meinem Monitor alos ca 1m weg von meinem Mund und da reichts wenn der Gains ganz niedrig eingestellt ist. Im Teamspeak perfekte Qualität und bei Gesangaufnahmen stelle ich das Mikro etwa 50cm von mir weg.
Für den Hobbygebrauch wirklich zu empfehlen. Wer was professionelles braucht sollte lieber nach XLR Mikros mit passender Peripherie Ausschau halten, jedoch bewegt man sich dann in einer anderen Preisklasse.
Für unter 150€ könnte ich nur noch das USB Mikro von Rode empfehlen. Dieses gefiel mir im Direktvergleich für Sprache besser für Instrumentaufnahmen schlechter. (Rode klarer aber gesamte Klangfarbe etwas zu hoch und daher hört sich für mich das Yeti gesamt besser an - Vorallem bei niederfrequenten Tönen)
Falls die Rezession für dich nützlich war, kannst du gerne ein "Nützlich" dalassen :-D

Go to microphone for starting streaming/recording...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 19, 2019
This is pretty much the go to mic when it comes to starting out in streaming or recording videos for Youtube/Twitch etc. The fact that this is USB and just plugs and plays appealed due to its high quality recording capability and ease of use. The mic itself is well built and made of metal so, unsurprisingly, heavy (bear this in mind if you decide to mount this on an boom stand or arm). The microphone has 4 settings;Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 19, 2019
CARDIOID MODE - This mode records sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone.
STEREO MODE - Uses both the left and right channels to capture more realistic sound range.
OMNIDIRECTIONAL MODE - Picks up sound equally from all around the mic (best for live recordings around a table etc)
BIDIRECTIONAL - Records from both the front and rear of the microphone—good for recording a duet or a two-person interview.
I use this mic attached to a AKORD Professional Adjustable Microphone Fold and pop filter.
This does offer a high quality sound recording but if you wanted to take things to the next level you'd probably want invest in a mic with an XLR connection and mixer combo. However if you want something easy to setup/use with a high level of recording quality then Blue Yeti is highly recommended. As a side note I've been using this for 3 years now and its still going strong!

Worst customer service
Reviewed in Canada on September 29, 2019
This is the worst mic I have ever purchased. Not because of the sound quality but because of the customer service. I got the mic end of July and by the end of September, it stopped working suddenly. It is not a cheap mic and I expected the customer service to help. I registered the product on their website and created a ticket and I received no response for 2 weeks now. I keep asking for updates and I get nothing. The sound quality was great but for 2 months only. Do not buy something that does not have good customer service. You will never know what will happen.Reviewed in Canada on September 29, 2019
** Update
After 9 days of creating a ticket, I got a response to add the product details and my shipping address. I added the requied information the same day and 5 days now no response again. I even created another ticket and it is still open for 7 days now.
