Logitech for Creators Blue Yeti X USB Microphone for Gaming, Streaming, Podcasting, Twitch, YouTube, Discord, Recording for PC and Mac, 4 Polar Patterns, Studio Quality Sound, Plug & Play-Black

I bought this USB Yeti X specifically to be used in my Music Production Studio, in particular for my Arturia Vocoder V and Ableton Live. I think it’s a great sounding microphone and the interface with headphones and Microphone levels is well thought out. I use it on a Boom Arm instead of the supplied desk stand. The only issue I’ve had is not with the microphone but with the “Buggy” GHub Application. It would not install on my MacBook Pro M1 Chip but it did on my older iMac with a Intel Chip. After going back and forth with Logictec support here was how I had to install it in my MacBook Pro “I would like to confirm if your Mac Book PRO has an M1 or Intel Chip. If your Mac Book PRO has an M1 chip. Please kindly try the troubleshooting steps below. Drag "Logitech g hub installer" into the default application folder in terminal: sudo /Applications/lghub_installer.app/Contents/MacOS/lghub_installer ; exit; hit enter and enter your password. It'll download and install. It'll look like it gets stuck at 99.894669, but give it a minute and it ill prompt you to finish and relaunch.” So I had to use Terminal on my MacBook Pro to finally get it to install. Now here is the other issue, some of the features in GHub work fine, like changing the Polarity or selecting the different Blue Voice Presets but the feature to Record your voice in order to reference how you sound does not work properly. I can get it to record my Voice ONCE, then it will not do it again. The only way is to quit GHub, launch it again and try to record again. But same issue I can only record my voice sample 1 time. It won’t let me try to record a different voice sample after that Also none of the Ambient Sounds or Expressions in GHub play either. Logictec has been notified of the issue but has yet to resolve it. BTW, it is the same issue on my iMac so it’s not the computer. In any event I still think it’s a great microphone, nice quality, good sounding, easy USB Interface and the price was right. I hope the GHub issue gets resolved but it’s not stopping my workflow. UPDATE 4.14.2023 After several emails with Matt at Tech Support is was determined there was a problem and an Update to GHub would be done. Yesterday I received notification that the Update Version was available. I downloaded the Update and GHub is now working perfectly. One note, for some reason when I launched it my recorded voice sounded like an Alien. Anyway Matt mentioned to check the Effects settings and sure enough the an Effect was turned on. Once I set the Effects to off everything is working as it should. By the way if you record your voice for a long enough time (like 45 seconds or so) you can play it back and switch between hearing all of the Preset Mic Sounds and the Effects without having to re record or stop and start again. I have to say as much as the troubleshooting was annoying at times Matt and the Logitech Support Team did a great job.

The signal quality is outstanding and then some. Plug in and record right away. Just plug v in usb cable. Attach headphones for zero latency monitoring. No driver download needed plug in change audio settings inside recording software. You'll be shocked at how much of your room is recorded; that you didn't hear before. Your ceiling fan is loud. Your air conditioning system screams. Your neighbors are playing loud music. Cleaning the wax out of your ears with an affordable option in a small green and yellow box labeled Debroxyl; will help you get a better understanding and more transparent veiw of what you are really recording. It's a really good microphone; considering it's price and ease of use. I recommend it for first timers. You'll be surprised at what you think needs to change within your environment to record the best quality vocals. It's an ideal microphone for vocals recorded by all skill levels. Not have to download drivers for it to work; us awesome. Plugging in and changing settings inside computer; is all You'll need to do for proper set up of this extremely affordable, effective, efficient way to record analog/acoustic audio into a digital format where undo can reduce the sound of failure. Free software like adove audacity is great for recording short wave files easily. I recommend Audacity, because it is a free software with a lot of powerful effects that are normally found inside expensive software like pro tools, logic pro, garage band, ableton live, cakewalk pro, sonar from cakewalk. Adobe has a lot of free software with a lot of powerful tools that don't require a large intelligence level to use.

Good quality, nice sound

I initially avoided considering this microphone, because it is software-driven, and I was using a Surface for some recording. Since replacing my CPU fan, I'm sticking to the tried and true computer, and this microphone is going to save me some serious time in post-production! I have a profile that is perfect for my single-narrative audio sessions. I will likely create multiple profiles, depending on what I'm producing! DO NOT judge this mic out of the box! You must install G Hub (downloaded from Logitech), and you must take time to configure it. There are community profiles available to get you a head-start. *** BIG HINT - You MUST create an account, set a profile name and icon to use downloaded profiles or to use the record/playback function within G Hub! *** This mic is a huge upgrade from the Yeti, and I've only started to explore my options! I'm currently using this for audiobook production. ** Update 10/1/2021 ** I've been using this mic for a full 9 months now, and have run into a HUGE issue - the G Hub software. If you run this mic without any setup, it's just loud and obnoxious. You must setup a profile and lock your settings. You should also disable updates! If you don't, the automatic update will wipe out your profile, and the update will NOT be compatible! It can take HOURS to find the sweet spot! That being said, this is where the Mic Test turns out to be a beautiful tool! The first time you run it, you'll be annoyed that it plays constantly in a loop. You'll be annoyed, until you figure out this gives you the opportunity to tweak your sound while listening to yourself in a steady loop! It's PERFECT! Use it, and you can get a good profile setup in minutes vs. hours! I'm actually debating letting another update come through!

A qualidade de áudio dele é incrível e ele tem sensores muito bons para captar nos diversos modos dele. Uso diariamente e nunca apresentou nenhum defeito!

I decided to purchase this microphone to record my podcast. I opted for USB microphone instead of XLR because it easily connects to my computer (plug & play). Not only the mic looks professional and well designed, it has a very strong build and the LED metering makes a big difference since it allows you to easily access to the controls (gain/mute/volume) and get visual feedback while recording. The free Logitech G HUB audio software brings your voice to another level. The sound quality is crisp and clear, and there are many options to use vocal effects and turn your voice the way you want it to sound. I use the mic with Rode PSA1 boom arm and Blue Radius III shockmount, and my recordings are spectacular. Strongly recommend it if you are looking for a reliable and quality USB microphone.

Superb sound quality. Fussy to set up in Windows - the software is great, once working. You do need to play with windows sound settings and potentially also your onboard sound settings - this mic likes to be the default input. Also - use a powered USB hub to attach the device. If your USB socket is underpowered (very common) your sound quality can be hugely affected.

El sonido del micrófono es muy bueno, lo compre para mi esposa (yo actualmente tengo el hyper x quadcast) porque buscaba un diseño mas elegante y no tan gamer. La calidad del audio es mejor por tener los 24 bits sobre los 16 del hyperx. La aplicación de Logitech funciona excelente al momento de detectarlo y es muy fácil configurarlo si ya tienes otros dispostivos de la marca. Lo que si es que es un poco sensible si le subes el volumen de entrada más haya de los 30, quizás pueda captar sonidos de la habitación. Recomiendo usarlo con su filtro pop, espuma y accesorios de montaje.

I love its metal body 😍 its a perfect mic i use quality is super cool 🩷💜❤️
