    Today I review a new USB mic from Logitech the Yeti GX. This is an USB supercardioid dynamic mic with RGB lighting. The software is pretty good but has a few faults, while the sound of the microphone is bested by every other microphone I compared it against; this sounds similar to the mic on a headset.

  • @packofgrass
    @packofgrass 7 місяців тому +19

    Logitech put no heart into this microphone. They bought Blue and now think that using the Yeti name will sell a microphone regardless of its quality. What they don't realise is that consumers can see right through that. If they just made a good microphone for an affordable price they would sell way more and build up a reputation for quality products. The Razer Seiren Mini is a great example; £45 for that sound quality is incredible. Same with the Q2U. Thank you for another quality review Bandrew! I would've loved to hear it compared to an SM7B or RE20, just to see how it stacks up to one of the 'endgame' dynamic mics.

      I do find it sad that they retired the Blue brand because Blue had a history and although I didn't love all their mics, they made some really interesting stuff. Blue didn't really do much the last 5 years short of update the yeti, but at least their existing more prosumer and professional mics were still pretty good.

      @xHadesStamps 5 місяців тому

      The Wave 3's pretty nice, plus you get an additional feature. Even forgoing those features, as well as 24-bit (because the mic was released in 2009--almost as old as the original BLUE Yeti), however, you could also get a Samson Q2U, save some money, and *still* be better off (granted, other than the oldness, the Q2U's still pretty nice--not dunking on it or anything).

I just hope the gaming companies that took over them will have the chops (and the heart) to further build upon their solid sound quality, instead of merely trying to cram them with as many gimmicks and as much wow factor as possible. Also, more transparent pricing would be desirable (a while ago the Neat King Bee II's price increased- seemingly for good- and I still have no idea why that happened)

      The mic has 1/4" threading (discussed around 01:12) which is a camera mount threading, but it comes with an adapter for 5/8" or 3/8" (mentioned around 00:45). Therefore it works on camera mounts, standard mic stands or a standard boom arm. Check what threading your boom arm has 1/4", 3/8" or 5/8"...this thing has those.

      Depends on your needs. Podmic USB is good for a dynamic if you want processing. AA MiCreator is good around $200 if you want a condenser with interface options. Rode NT-USB is good around $170. Samson Q2u is another great USB dynamic mic. for sub $100. The Blue yeti's are good if you need cheap usb stereo recording too.

    Thanks for the review, I'll be passing on this microphone though I'm still trying to find one that stands less tall on the desk than my Shure MV7. Near the end you mention "similar features" on the Shure MV7. The Shure MOTIV desktop software is trash with almost no features at all; saying it has similar features is very misleading in this regard. The MV7 is a great-sounding mic, but Shure doesn't give a crap about desktop/gamer use as evidence by the junk software. I think you should actually call out how bad and featureless Shure's software is for USB mic use.

    • @Podcastage
      @Podcastage  4 місяці тому

      I don’t think the features of the MV7 is bad for a USB mic. Prior to 2-3 years ago the only feature you had on 99% of USB mics was you plug it in and you set your input level and sample rate bit depth. The MV7 software gives you some EQ switches, ability to EQ, compression, and limiter. Those are a HUGE update from prior USB mics. So I disagree with your assessment that it is junk software. If it doesn’t meet your needs that’s one thing, but it is far from junk software in my opinion.
