Thanks a lot for that video. I think the overall message is, that Logitech should fix many issues in the software. For me I can say that the software is to difficult for beginners.
@@Podcastage Good idea 👍In Germany many people are using Blue Yeti and Blue Yeti X mics. There are no videos online how to set it up perfectly from a to z. I think it is a good mic to start very cheap because here in germany a used Blue is about 30-45 Euros.
I'm glad you know the proper spelling of Microphone in the native tongue of Hell. I figured that since this microphone made me feel like I was there, I should pay homage and type in their dialect.
I LMAO at "...which I can't hear". I think you two should do a show together. With you and Bandrew playing off each other, I'd be thoroughly entertained. I DO think he changed his tune a little when he found out it had RGB lighting.
I really enjoyed that review Bandrew, very entertaining and informative. The Logitech made you sound like you were broadcasting from an Apollo Mission, I was waiting for you to say ‘One small step for Man’. All the very best
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 think you misunderstood my comment guys. I said that consumers can see through bad products. I also said that if they made a better product for cheaper it would sell better. People aren't dumb. Nobody's choosing a Tonor mic over an SM7B, people just can't afford to spend £400 on a mic.
Yeah. I think many people will still buy this without researching it just buying it based on brand equity, but many of them will end up with a bad taste in their mouth if they care at all about sound quality.
I really appreciate that you make your reviews to be as objective and as scientific as possible and at the same time easy to understand. Keep up with the awesome work 😎
The only thing close in bad soundingness... the AT2040USB. What a crummy sound and a HIGH price. So much better stuff out there for the price. Thanks for showing us this so no one buys it. So glad a device designed to capture audio succeed on the totally necessary light show. Great vid as always! Keep on rockin!
Honestly, if I absolutely had to choose between this and one of the Snowballs, I'm not sure which I'd rather have (don't intend on getting either, so I also haven't thought much in that regard)--and I'm *not* a big fan of the Snowballs
Thank you soo much for the review, canceled my purchase and ordered Yeti X instead, saved me soo much frustration, and your reviews are incredibly helpful, thank you again!
Yeah, better options out there. Thanks for the nice review. The Shure MV7 and MV7X are sure becoming popular. I daresay I am enjoying those more than the SM7B, actually. i have an RE20 which I bought used for a song, otherwise, I'd go that route.
Yeah if you prefer the MV7 to the 7b, then that's the route to go and save money. The RE20 is a great mic though and if you've got that, no need to change.
It's the proper spelling in the native tongue of Hell's inhabitants. Being that this microphone made me feel like I was there, I figured I'd pay homage by using the proper spelling.
I honestly think for the same price, the Elgato Wave 3 is a much better bet. Not only does the microphone just sound all around better (in my opinion at least) but you also get the feature benefits that come with it, such as Clipguard and Wave Link.
Exactly. I think you commented before you could have arrived at the recommendation of the video but that's what I said. The Wave 3 sounds better and has the same functions (and some because you get mixing as well).
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).
fun fact: they removed the 3.5mm monitoring jack from the mic. Render pics show it (logi G site), and if you feel around the sticker on the back, its "covered". Prob removed and didn't wanna use a more expensive ADC/DAC combo chip.
Can confirm you can feel the 3.5mm hole through the sticker where the monitoring jack was supposed to be. Purchased a Logi Yeti GX for LOLs from the bargain bin, AU $ 100
Different gain setting. When the mic is on a boom arm it's closer to the sound source so they need to have the gain set lower than if it is 12 inches away from your mouth on a desktop stand.
@@Podcastage Oh. Thank you. I honestly never considered the possibility of this being used on a boom arm. It would be pretty terrible, but I guess it's technically achievable. You're so smart you make even more feel dumb sometimes.
Throughout the test, Bandrew didn't appear to be happy with the mic that announced Blue dead. It was the long-term professionalism that led him through this.
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.
As always, very nice review. An also, congrats man, i have not seen your videos in quite some time and you have lost a lot of weight. Keep it up, you look better than ever.
😮 man ... the jump in quality sound when he got to the XLR mic 🎙️ .. thank you 4 this video :) I hope I get my very own Original(Vanilla ) blue yeti mic before they get out of the market 😊
I'm glad this video was your life preserver. Keep your head above water and always remember to wait at least 30 minutes after eating before you go swimming.
Hi guys. Does anyone know the microphone used in the Spotify for Podcasters Masterclass videos on Spotify? The mic looks sick but couldn't figure out the brand or make.
Bandrew, this is the first one of your reviews I'm having trouble sitting through. And it has nothing to do with you. For the algorithm's sake, I will watch until the end. I know you need the $0.001 from this view so you can pay for that alleged mic.
@@Podcastage For you? Always. I find you extremely entertaining and watch every video more than once. in fact, I'd love to see longer form content that doesn't have all the tangents edited out of. Maybe a separate channel, if you don't want them here? I would eat that content up.
I would literally pick every other mic you pitted this against, including the original yeti. Seems like this software could be better on any of the other mics.
Really nicely put together video, not going to lie personally i couldn't hear 100£ worth of difference between any of these mics but I am a simpleton. I would be a fool not to listen to your recommendation as the main reason I was look for the GX was the Ghub software. so i will be shopping around for a blue yeti X now, many thanks - have a sub x
Logitech: Ahhh, Blue Microphone! Let's buy this iconic brand for, you know, branding purposes! Also Logitech: Let's make a cheap, crappy, overpriced knock off SM7B and call it a Blue 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Podcastage no probs. I like your reviwes. They are quite informative and actually usefull with all those tests in the video. So I'd like to see it on some kinda-useful mics too. pd400x is just the first that comes to mind and the most wanted. :3
what in tarnation is this microphone, I'm late for my comment, sumimasen... also, your box throwing technique is getting better an better by the video!!!
You know what I realize from watching these on my phone? Skip to your summary and recommendations. My crappy phone won't be able to help me differentiate stuff. 😅😅😅 Thanks for reviewing
@@DWHarper62 Some stuff my phone picks up, like the standard tests. Comparisons, it depends. The really good ones? Nope, nothing. They sound really similar. The odd crappy ones? Yah, they do stand out. Bandrew's super expensive one? I feel like it's better but I don't really more xD
I appreciate you having faith in me to shoot straight, but I would always recommend putting on headphones when you have the chance and listening later as well so you can start to develop the ear to pick this stuff up so that you don't have to take my word for it, and you can tell me to hush up when you disagree. =) Thanks for watching, I appreciate ya.
Agreed it's a struggle. I'm always listening on a tablet device so a lot of the nuance is lost. Sadly that marked the GX out as it was clear how bad it sounded. Bandrew sounded unwell and sarcastic even when he wasn't being! The 2040usb also sounded poor on my tablet, though better than the GX.
This ought to have been a lot better. Why even buy Blue's expertise for when a product like this is what you are going to produce? :D Just release a Yeti X with USB-C already ... would be much better.
Hey Bandrew, hope you’re having a good day! I have a question or more of I need a recommendation. I’m looking for a great all around Mic, one that sounds great on spoken word, singing, guitar, drums, bass, etc. I’m looking at an SM 57 or an SE Dynacaster. If you could only have one, which one would you choose? (also, I have a bit of a higher voice.)
The rode podmic usb isn't the best sounding mic, but it works and it's inoffensive, it kind of gets out of the way for me. This is offensive and makes me want o do a dozen things to try to fix it.
I said they castrated Blue and what they used to be after the buyout. I was DEAD WRONG. They castrated it, mounted it's head on the wall and tried to look for more yetis to try and turn into rugs or head trophies on the WALL. Can they just bring back thee old Blue website and give the Sona the Blue branding back?!
I currently have the Fifine K688 and I’m looking to upgrade. I really want the the Beacn mic but not sure I should shell out. Would this be an upgrade? Cheers.
@@Kragatar This new Mic looks nothing like a Blue mic, the Blue mics look cool to Me, a bit classy with that blue logo. This new mic looks worse then a knock off Yeti.
As was pointed out. Logitech bought Blue Mics in 2017. The first mic that was released after that was the Yeti X, then the Yeti Nano. Then we got the Logitech Blue Sona. Then they retired the Blue brand name and kept the Yeti name alive and now we get this. Maybe the blue team wasn't involved in it.
@@Podcastage Interesting thankyou for your detailed response, I still have the Original Blue Yeti and to Me it feels nice looks nice, sounds fine to Me.
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.
1/4" threading again! imo a combo 3/8-5/8" thread with an adapter to 1/4" would be miles ahead, way easier for people to pick stable stands by accident because they don't feel like dealing with adapters
Oh no. That scroll wheel coming directly from their mouse line makes me worried they're going to be using the same terrible encoders. Had several of their mice, all ended up with buggy scrolling after some light use.
Dunno how I feel about what happened with Blue and Neat microphones. 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)
You can't even see the RGB as the user of the mic xD It just gives you a reflection of it in your monitor... I defninitely thought this was a 50...maybe $80 mic when I saw/heard it... OG Yeti SO much better (obv. dynamic vs condencer but....)...also... hate the sound 😅😁
Is that gray hair my friend? Welcome sir. Welcome to the club. Fantastic box toss going for wall penetration this time. You should start the box tossing Olympics.
The one I use for the reviews is some affordable LYXPRO one I bought years ago. It's a common design and very inexpensive and a lot of people use this style of boom which is why I use it for the reviews.

1000% love the way you showed how the microphone sounds in all the various positions! Wish every microphone had a review video like this.
The fact that this microphone now resembles a suppository speaks volumes as to their future direction.
You had to go there, you have zero chill 😑
One of the best first comments ever on UA-cam. HAHA!
*WHEEZE!!!* XD
RIP Blue Microphone. 💀
@@WayOfTheHei and Loupedeck/Razer Stream Controller. Loupedeck also got bought by them.
Can I say this is the best mic review I've ever seen. Very detailed and answered any questions I could've had. Good job!! 🎉
The enthusiasm in your voice is contagious
yes i am so enthusiastic about it and i hope that in heaven i get to review these all the time for eternity.
The enthusiasm of your intro... oh, dude. You had me laughing like I was watching a Rodney Dangerfield special.

@lilonfireagreed. Consumers bought the original Yeti for the Name. And that was just as bad, or actually worse imo
Those people are weird @lilonfire

@lilonfireone its affordable and two as someone who owns that mic its better than the blue yeti which is 124 dollars
Yeah. I think many people will still buy this without researching it just buying it based on brand equity, but many of them will end up with a bad taste in their mouth if they care at all about sound quality.

My settings for the Yeti GX: Place micrphone carefully on stand, turn all knobs down to zero....uninstall software, throw microphone in trash.
Assuming that you're in America, you also have the option of using the microphone as a target and destroying your $150 dollars in a dramatic fashion.

Not a fan of this mic, but one pro you left out is the off axis rejection. That was crazy

I currently have the Fifine K688 and I’m looking to upgrade. I really want the the Beacn mic but not sure I should shell out. Would this be an upgrade? Cheers.
I'm confused was Blue Logitech all along or a different company but some how using the Yeti name?
Logitech bought Blue a few years ago.
@@Kragatar This new Mic looks nothing like a Blue mic, the Blue mics look cool to Me, a bit classy with that blue logo. This new mic looks worse then a knock off Yeti.
Blue was the company that made the Yeti mics, Logitech bought Blue and acquired the Yeti mic brand.
As was pointed out. Logitech bought Blue Mics in 2017. The first mic that was released after that was the Yeti X, then the Yeti Nano. Then we got the Logitech Blue Sona. Then they retired the Blue brand name and kept the Yeti name alive and now we get this. Maybe the blue team wasn't involved in it.
@@Podcastage Interesting thankyou for your detailed response, I still have the Original Blue Yeti and to Me it feels nice looks nice, sounds fine to Me.
So is the processing stored in the microphone or not? :)
I’m so confused, what happened to Blue microphones? (Side note: that box throw was top tier!)
Hi, you have tier list usb mic?
I do not have a tier list of mics, that's a great idea though. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@Podcastage Would love to see this, even if just top tier at different price points
What boom arms is this compatible with? Wish you would of talked about that.
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.
Your music!! Can I produce a record of your top 50? Serious, I really enjoy your ideas. 👍🏽
I'd love to work together on something like that.
1/4" threading again! imo a combo 3/8-5/8" thread with an adapter to 1/4" would be miles ahead, way easier for people to pick stable stands by accident because they don't feel like dealing with adapters
I agree. But I'm guessing they aim this at people who are more likely to have a camera tripod laying around.
This hurt. For $50 less dollars you can get an SM57 and sound infinitely better.
The Samson Q2U utterly crushes it at $70 and it's also USB. Baffling.
Yeah it's a strange proposition.
Oh no. That scroll wheel coming directly from their mouse line makes me worried they're going to be using the same terrible encoders. Had several of their mice, all ended up with buggy scrolling after some light use.
Hadn't considered the encoder knob going bad, but that'd suck.
THE HUMANS ARE DEAD, great video btw, RIP Blue
We used poisonous gasses, and we posoined their asses. The humans are dead. Thanks so much.
is the rode nt-usb mini better than that
Dunno how I feel about what happened with Blue and Neat microphones. 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)
You can't even see the RGB as the user of the mic xD It just gives you a reflection of it in your monitor...
I defninitely thought this was a 50...maybe $80 mic when I saw/heard it... OG Yeti SO much better (obv. dynamic vs condencer but....)...also... hate the sound
😅😁
I would absolutely recommend the original yeti over this one.
The voice effects got me laughing a lot, especially the DJ Robot and Dream ones
still have my THX Blue Yeti. My first mic that I pimped the hood with!
If it aint broke, don't fix it.
Is that gray hair my friend? Welcome sir. Welcome to the club. Fantastic box toss going for wall penetration this time. You should start the box tossing Olympics.
It is grey hair. It's been going that way for years.
Hey man I was just wondering what your boom arm is
The one I use for the reviews is some affordable LYXPRO one I bought years ago. It's a common design and very inexpensive and a lot of people use this style of boom which is why I use it for the reviews.
I'm still having hopes for that tonor t90 boom arm review lol
Don't hold your breath on that one. Ha.
Did you accidentally add $100 to the retail price or is logitech insane?
Yeah this Logi GX is fine for like USD $50 I agree
