Yeti X: Blue’s Most Advanced USB Mic

Blue Microphones revolutionized the home recording world with the introduction of the Yeti in late 2009. It quickly became a favorite among content creators for its plug-and-play format that required no external hardware. Now, more than a decade later, Blue Microphones gives birth to the Blue Yeti X, their most advanced USB microphone to date. New features include an all-new 4-capsule condenser array that captures a more complete sound than ever before. You get multiple vocal presets that Blue designed specifically for podcasting and streaming. A smart multifunction knob has replaced the old-school knobs and offers onboard metering. The Blue Yeti X is equipped with customizable LED lighting to let you choose your aesthetic. Finally, Classic Yeti appointments such as four selectable polar patterns, an onboard headphone amp, latency-free monitoring, and momentary mute switch help the Yeti provide the exceptional functionality that made the microphone a streaming staple.

Studio-quality sound for less

Blue Microphones worked tirelessly to ensure that the Blue Yeti X sounded better than ever before. With its new 4-capsule array, it gives you extra clarity and focus that other USB mics simply can't achieve. It has an onboard master volume control, headphone output, mute button, and a microphone gain control button. But the coolest thing of all is its polar pattern selector. Switch it into stereo for your first ASMR video. Use Bidirectional mode to record two people at the same time. Drop it into the Cardioid mode for focused recordings of guitars and vocals. And for meetings and band practices, Omnidirectional mode will do the trick. Whatever polar pattern you're using, the Blue Yeti X records it all at an impressive 24-bit/48kHz audio resolution.

Engineered to make you sound your best

The Blue Yeti X has baked-in vocal effects that are designed to help you create a broadcast-friendly sound. By using Blue's VO!CE software and Logitech G HUB, the Blue Yeti X puts a suite of vocal effects at your fingertips. You can experiment with podcasting and streaming presets or tweak the settings to create a sound that's all your own. When they unveiled the Blue Yeti X, Blue told Sweetwater that the VO!CE software includes seven broadcast-quality vocal effects to help you sound more like you.

Multifunction smart knob

An upgrade that users appreciate about the Blue Yeti X is its streamlined controls. The smart multifunction knob mounted to the microphone's front controls headphone levels, microphone gain, mute functions, and even provides an 11-block metering section. All you need to do is tap the button and switch between each control parameter. And inside the Logitech G HUB software, you can even assign custom color layouts to the LEDs to fit your brand and visual aesthetic.

They tell me it sounds great on the other end...

Plug and play! Right off the bat the folks at the other end of the Teams meeting said it sounded amazing! Functionality from the pick up pattern selection to the onboard gain/monitor mixer is great. Highly recommended!
- However -
The supporting software from Blue and Logitech (Ghub) was a nightmare. Reddit and Youtube document the **** out of this, and part of it seems to be a Teams fault. I ran every scheme available to get the software to load and behave, to no avail.
- Solution (short answer) -
In Win10, turned off ever start up app listed. GHub loaded right up and runs like a dream now.
Buy this mic! Your audience with thank you for it.
(p.s. - the dock powering all those screens is the Dell D6000 - get that too.)

Highly Underrated! The end of Audio Interfaces???

This mic is PHENOMENAL for vocals in austere recording conditions such as hotels, bedrooms, etc.
All my equipment broke and I was looking to replace my Focusrite 18i20 and AKG P220. This competes hands down 100% with that set up, and its under $. Incredible. Not only that, the noise suppression is amazing. I don't need to put makeshift treatment up when I record anymore.

It is PERFECT for someone who doesn't have acoustic treatment or outboard gear. And to be quite honest, I'm not sure I even need to buy anything else. The future is here, everything we need as engineers is available in the box. What an incredible time to make music.

I'm running it on a MacBook Pro M2 and there aren't any issues with connectivity or latency.
The built in audio interface works like a dream, and you can even customize the light scheme like an Alienware Computer. I am not exaggerating at how blown away I am with this mic. I would have never guessed it was this dope, and I don't understand how there are negative reviews.

Cheaply made, does not work well.

Not a fan, very cheaply made. Had connectivity issues from day 1 making it useless and ended up throwing it in the trash.
Rated 1/5

Unfortunately a dud

I'm sort of addicted to testing out new mics and had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately it was a big let down. I own 10 different USB mics none of which have clip detection built into them.

Pros:
It has clip detection, and recording seemed to work well

Cons:
Mic would not function as a speaker output correctly
Monitoring gain was much worse than the original yeti
Software would simply not detect the mic
