Enva un sonido perfecto, recibe los mismos desde los 360 grados o nicamente los frontales de manera magnfica. Adis a los molestos y calurosos auriculares que adems me taladraban los tmpanos. Es muy pesado, difcilmente, se te podr caer, o sea un acierto cada euro que he gastado en l.
Invogliato dalle ottime recensioni, ho preso questo articolo, che si dimostrato utile e di ottima qualit.
Superlativo anche il programma ad esso abbinato, per ottimizzare le prestazioni e ridurre i rumori di sottofondo.
La pregevolezza del materiale e la semplicit d’uso ne fanno un ottimo microfono.
Si pu attaccare anche le cuffie con una presa jack da 3,5 mm e l’audio buono.
Mi piace molto la sensibilit dell’apparecchio, adatto a pi esigenze.
Il prezzo non eccessivo e pure la custodia con cui arrivato rivela cura nei dettagli.
Non un caso che abbia riscosso un grande successo.
Top quality. as a gamer I can say it hath been useful for yelling down the mic at the failures on the other end.
Ich benutze das Mikrofon fr meinen Onlinekurs. Bin also dabei auf meiner Matte vor der Kamera und das Mikrofon steht meistens vor mir am Boden. Laut meinen Kursteilnehmern bin ich sehr gut zu verstehen (kein Rauschen, keine abgehackten Sequenzen). Daher habe ich den Kauf nicht bereut. Fr meine Zwecke reicht es es sehr gut. Anschlieen war ebefalls easy: Stecker ans Laptop – fertig.
It looks beautiful and sounds beautiful, people have already commented on how much better my sound quality is on teams/zoom meetings and for any voice overs it’s brilliant. Use it with a Mac Mini and it’s easy plug and play. Looks so nice on the desk too
This mic has been perfect for the videos I’m creating and for general web calls. Yes, it’s a bit expensive but the quality is great and I really enjoy using it.
Love this mic! It looks and sounds awesome ! It’s one of my favourite streaming products ! Easy to use!
Like the size and style of product. I wanted it to record some part singing. Very pleased with product. Good value for money.
This is a great product, but be aware that the little USB ‘B’ connector is very fragile. Do not leave the lead plugged in because any stress on it will damage the connector. I’ve just replaced the connector on mine and it’s really not an easy process, only made possible by the excellent quailty of the PCB.
Excellent piece of kit. Made a big difference to my on line meetings and sessions.
Great microphone, brilliant sound quality. Could be improved by adding commonly needed cheap extras to the product – foam wind/pop filter and a usb c adaptor (cost about 10 to buy separately).
Microfone de excelente qualidade de udio, som encorpado, alto, claro, com presena de um belo som grave. Tenho usado em home office e conferncias e a qualidade do udio tem sido referida pelos participantes. Optei pelo modo cardiide. Portanto, muito satisfeito com a escolha compra.
It’s sturdy and good quality, but I didn’t really notice any difference between the multidirectional pickup patterns. The cardioid seemed to pick up an awful lot of noise behind the microphone too.

Blue Yeti has a good reputation, which is well deserved.
This Yeti Nano is smaller than the original Blue Yeti, but the quality is pretty much the same.
As the Nano is smaller, it is actually much nicer on your desk and easier to transport if needed.
I also like the fact that he has a more recent mini-USB plug on the microphone, instead of the old square USB on the original bigger Blue Yeti.
The on/off volume button at the front has a quality feel and is super easy to operate. It is also so useful to mute/unmute yourself during video call, without anyone noticing (as you don’t have to use the mute feature of the software like Zoom and so on).
The stand provided is strong and heavy and for my usage is enough. I have the microphone on my desk and don’t need an extra arm (even so I type on my keyboard during my videos call).
It is definitely worth paying the extra money to have such a quality microphone, as the sound quality now on my professional calls is so so so good!

Let’s face it, audio equipment can be expensive. I sometimes do voiceover work for some of my clients. I’ve been using a Samson CO1U for years but was never happy with the amount of static and background noise I had to scrub in post-production. I finally bought the Yeti Nano on sale. The audio quality is night and day different. The Samson was billed as a great USB mic at the time but I didn’t realize how much better the audio could be. Sound quality, bass, etc. is all very subjective and everyone has their own preferences. However, for me, this mic does a great job for narration and voiceover work and doesn’t need a lot of post-production to make it usable in my work. I’m not a professional podcaster or voiceover artist but do need to record sometimes so I like to have something that sounds better than a built-in computer mic or iPhone. This is excellent for that! Reading some of the other reviews I was worried that I’d receive a refurbished or used mic. Mine was factory sealed and worked out of the box. I record in my bedroom closet (clothes for noisedampening) and so Garageband on an iPad Pro is my go-to. I was able to easily use a USB 3 to USB C hub/adapter to plug the Nano into my iPad. Worked right away with excellent quality sound.
Avant j’utilisais ma webcam ou mes couteurs, c’est donc la premire fois que j’utilise un vritable microphone. J’ai test ce micro sur Discord, et tout le monde m’entend super bien. On me reproch souvent avec ma webcam de parler dans mes toilettes. Maintenant c’est termin. J’ai choisi la version nano car je n’ai pas un grand bureau. Le micro est dj assez imposant comme a. Le prix me parait justifier, de plus il est trs prsent sur YouTube. Il est donc trs facile de trouver des vidos d’explications, de personnalisations sur YouTube. Je recommande ce micro tout ce qui veulent tre pris au srieux sur Discord.
I’ve owned both this and the regular Yeti. Used for voice calls, videos and a bit of acoustic guitar recording.
I cannot tell the difference in sound quality. They are both excellent.
The nano is smaller, looks better and is cheaper. It does not have a physical gain control (could be useful in live performances or interviewing) and it does not have stereo or bidirectional modes. If you do not need those features, the nano is just a better mic in my opinion.

Very good mic with a good app “Sherpa” but Sherpa has a lot of conflicts with other apps like Microsoft teams or csgo … It’s weird but u can fix it …. Still, great mic

This is a game changer for teaching and giving talks virtually. It’s not cheap but runs brilliantly and gives an almost professional quality sound that’s great for podcasts, lectures and any other kind of digital presenting. I did buy an additional pop filter just to shield it a bit and avoid creepy breathing sounds, but so glad I finally caved in and got it !

When I first got the microphone, I didn’t have too high of expectations on it’s sound and usability, but it was much better than I thought.
Although, to make it sounds it’s best, you will need to turn down the gain in the sound setting on your PC, but that’s not much of a problem!
Overall I am very content with the mic! It’s small, compact and has great sound isolation, definitely worth the money!

Von die Micro-Qualitt her sicher ein Super USB-Micro. Eigenrauschen nehm ich da Keines wahr. Verwende es am Mac (Big Sur). Die Software Blue Sherpa zum Einstellen bzw. Ausprobieren ist sehr eigenartig und eher sinnlos.
Wrde jetzt aber doch eher zum hnlich teurem Rode NTUSB (Popschutz gleich dabei) tendieren. Die Lautstrkenregelung am Micro erscheint mir doch ein Vorteil zu sein, und das Umschalten des Yeti auf Kugelcharakteristik am Mikrophon dagegen eher vernachlssigbar.
Purchased for my son, a well made robust mic with great sound broadcasting.
Purchased for my son, a well made robust mic with great sound broadcasting.
What can i say, works a dream, sound quality is top notch and the profile is nice and small. Recommended
Bought this for increasing need of zoom calls and also because I do a lot of temporary voice overs. It’s decent and worth the money but I’m not going to lie in saying I expected a bit more in terms of quality. If you can afford it go for the bigger Yeti I’d say!
Das Mikrofon macht einen optisch und technisch absolut hochwertigen Eindruck. Die Aufnahmequalitt ist hervorragend! Hintergrundgerusche werden, das ist zu mindestens mein Eindruck, sehr gut herausgefiltert. Das Mikrofon steht robust und fest in den mitgelieferten Stnder. An der Unterseite befindet sich die Mglichkeit das Mikrofon an eine anderen Halterung zu verschrauben.
Optisch macht das Mikrofon wirklich etwas her. Der Retro-Stil ist sehr gut gelungen. Allerdings habe ich mich sehr ber das mitgelieferte “Gummi-Kabel” gergert. Dies macht das komplette Bild des Mikrofons, der wertige Eindruck, so meine persnlichen Meinung, ziemlich zunichte. Das ist natrlich meine persnliche Meinung wie man auf dem Bild sehen kann benutze ich ein geflochtenes Nylon Kabel. Fr mich persnlich ist damit mein perfektes Mikrofon komplett. Vielleicht kann die Firma Blue ja mal prfen, ob man nicht nur hochwertige Mikrofone herstellt, sondern auch hochwertige Kabel, in optisch ansprechenden Design, knftig den Mikrofonen beifgt.
At the moment I’m an amateur when it comes to audio capture, so I was pleasantly surprised that I was recording within 60 seconds of opening the box! The quality sounds absolutely fine (to my untrained ears!)
Update:
This mic picks up everything, from keystrokes and mouse clicks to people in other rooms of the house.
Original Post:
I purchased the Blue Yeti Nano because I want to stream in a few months.
After I set it up and switched all of the settings over. I talked to a few people in my Discord server, some didn’t notice but others definitely did and asked me which mic I got. The only semi-negative comment I have received was that they could hear everything (even me on the other side of my apartment) which can be fixed by getting one of those foam things to cover it.
All in all, whether I decide to stream or not, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
Transformational sound on Zoom calls (I’m told) over the standard iMac microphone! Every single zoom I’ve done since I got it, people at the other end have commented on the improvement. Top quality manufacture – solid all metal, real ‘quality feel” to it. Well pleased with it.
This is such a brilliant addition to anyone Zooming, not to mention recording. But for Zooming, how much are computer makers going to spend on the in-built mic in the laptop lid or whatever ? This semi pro mic has everything you need in a plug and play mic to lift your sound to a hugely higher level. Great quality build and tremendous sound quality. This beautiful mic complete with stand will not disappoint. Once you’ve plugged this in, you will never go back to the on-board – built in mic.
Quick delivery!!
Have been using for a week now for streaming so far so good !
Been using for months. What can I say. Absolutely amazing and underrated!
Amazing device, be sure to download Blue’s softwares so it doesn’t pickup sounds from 20 miles away, it’s has Amazing audio quality and looks stunning

The mic is great – solid, nice piece of kit which sounds amazing.
But
And I know this is nitpicking but the supplied USB lead has one of those anti-noise thingys at the microphone end which (a) just looks horrible and (b) means that the lead doesn’t easily fit between the mic and the nice channel in the base designed specifically for the lead. I know its a small thing, but it’s going to annoy me every time I use the mic. Details really do matter!
Not enough to make me send it back, but enough to annoy me and to think, maybe, the price was too high!

After researching microphones for a while, I settled on the simplicity of going the USB route so that I wouldn’t have to deal with other audio accessories. While I wanted to get the Blue Yeti Pro, I struggled to justify the price given that I have never had an external microphone before.
I ended up getting the Blue Yeti Nano and have been enjoying it very much so far! It has been a massive improvement to my voiceovers for screencast recordings and I’ve had great feedback from others when using teleconference tools.
What I love:
– Build quality is amazing – this thing is heavy!
– Audio quality is a major jump compared to what I was used to with integrated mics (opening me up to a whole new world of audio)
– Very easy to use – just plug-and-play (test on macOS Big Sur and Windows 10) with Blue’s software being optional
What could be better (but isn’t that bad):
– USB-C instead of micro-USB
– More control within the software (totally understand that this is for Blue’s more advanced microphones)
For now, the Blue Yeti Nano more than meets my needs! If I end up doing more audio work in the future, I may move to the Blue Yeti Pro for more control, but I’m genuinely impressed with this model.
Like this microphone, looks good and sounds great – works well on Linux Fedora 33 with Pipewire as well!
Pros:
-I like the style, sound, and ease of use of the microphone. It’s small enough to not really draw a lot of attention to it, yet it’s a major improvement over the mic on my webcam.
Cons:
-The volume knob on the front feels very cheap in comparison to the rest of the build. Spinning it for the first time I thought it was broken – it feels very cheap/hollow plasticky feeling. It does work as expected though.
-My other complaint, the mic doesn’t sit properly in the included stand and leans ever so slightly to the left. This isn’t a big deal, and something that can be remedied with a mic arm, but out of the box I wouldn’t expect this kind of QC issue on a new product at this price point.

Das Mikrofon ersetzte mein einfaches 25-Mikrofon. Wer Wert auf eine gewisse Klangqualitt und ein wenig Komfort legt, ist mit diesem Mikro sehr gut beraten. In der Preisklasse ist es absolut konkurrenzfhig und die solide Bauweise macht einen sehr guten Eindruck. Wer im Homeoffice arbeitet und gerne gut wahrgenommen werden mchte und nicht mit dnnem Sound aus airpods oder Notebook Mikro zu hren sein mchte, der sollte eine derart solide Lsung in Erwgung ziehen. Bin sehr zufrieden.
This is a major step up in sound quality over the one built into my laptop. When I switched during a conference call, people commented on how much the sound had improved.
It’s dead easy to setup; plug and play, infant. I downloaded the accompanying software to ensure I was on the latest firmware and already was. No need to change any parameters; it worked brilliantly right out of the box.
Looks and feels really robust. I use it on the supplied desk stand and it works just fine.
I read some reviewed that said it picks up keyboard noise, but it’s a microphone; it’s bound to! It’ll pick any ambient noise, but In Reality, none of my conference call attendees found the sound distracting at all.

Quality product, I just didn’t know how to get it to work with some of our business platforms. Probably my fault, not the produc
E’ un microfono esteticamente molto bello, solido ed elegante. Qualit dei materiali ottima.
Ho preso la versione Nano alta comuqneu 20 cm inclusa la base.
La registrazione della voce risulta naturale e cristallina. Come scritto da molti la qualit professionale.
E’ un microfono neutro non enfatizza o riduce effetti sonori, senza fronzoli aggiuntivi.
Credo che da il meglio se posizionato a circa 20-30 cm dalla voce con un gain inferiore a 50.
Aumentando il gain si iniziano a sentire anche i rumori dell’ambiente a meno di avere una stanza silenziosa.
Su MS Windows 10 viene riconosciuto in automatico dai driver di windows.
Ricordo che sia microfono che speaker (con cuffia) ovvero ha una piccola scheda audio interna che pu fare da output per tutte le applicazioni del computer.
Qualche difficot nelle videoconferenze con Skype e con MS Teams per via della regolazione automatica del guadagno di questi software.
Su Skype si pu disabilitare l’auto gain, su MS Team non prevista la disabilitazione, manda continuamente segnali al driver azzerando il gain.
Troppi automatismi non vanno d’accordo che questo tipo di microfono che generalmente richiedono un controllo da parte dell’utente come altri strumenti professionali o semiprofessionali.
P.s. Su MS Teams si risolve con un workaround installando un Cable outup virtuale. Speriamo che nel frattempo Microsoft risolva.
Suggerisco comunque l’istallazione del software Blue Sherpa scaricabile dal sito del produttore.
Forse il produttore potrebbe fornire anche dei driver personalizzati un p pi Pro di quelli nativi di Windows veramente basici.
Aggiungo che le prove le ho fatto con software Logitech Capture abbinato alla Logitech StreamCam e con Audacity.
Having owned a Blue Snowball ice for over 10 years, which has always been geat, I only decided to trade-up because the connection at the back of the mic had become so loose over the years it sometimes came loose all together when I moved the boom arm.
I chose the Yeti Nano due to the incease from 1 condenser to 2, and the increase from the ice’s 16-bit/44kHz to the Nano’s 24-bit/48kHz.
It’s important for me to have a quality mic, as I broadcast a classical programme online a few times a week and stream at a high quality – 192kbps, so the mic has to match the quality of the music. The Yeti has not disappointed and is a noticeable improvement on the Snowball.
The Nano is crystal clear.
Unlike some who have said they may have received a returned or pre-used item, mine was definitely brand new with a box which had clearly never been opened.
I am delighted with the Nano and it’s quality and robust construction looks like it will last me another 10 years or more.

Update:
Okay I was a bit surprised that nobody else has reported this issue with this mic.
It turns out that Microsoft had introduced a new noise cancelling feature in Teams that continually alters the gain on your microphones!
I will add a picture here so you know where to turn this off if your also affected but basically lots of other people are complaining about their voice getting too quiet with other mics.
So it took me a while but I basically tracked it down to the flowing setting in the November 2020 teams update called ‘noise suppression’.
To turn off noise suppression in teams :
1. Open teams
2. Click on your status picture in the top tool bar, or right click on the teams logo in the windows task bar. Both do the same.
3. Click settings
4. Click devices
5. Scroll down to noise suppression
6. Choose OFF from the set of options
Now use any of the methods to set your microphone gain using Windows and the problem is resolved!
If the menu item isn’t available for you check you have teams version 1.3.00.30866 or greater.
** hopefully Microsoft will fix this in future and if they do I’ll update this review!
Hope this helps folks out as I nearly ended up sending back a perfectly good microphone.
I had previously rated 3 stars and said:
————–++—————-
I cannot recommend this mic.
It is impossible to get a stable gain set in Windows 10.
The gain jumps up and down in value automatically and over a 15 minute period tunes itself towards 0.
This makes it impossible for people to hear you and until I restart Windows there is no way to set the gain again. Even if you set the gain slider on the device settings control itself, and try to hold it at say 80pct using your mouse, it still ignores your desired setting and jumps to 0.
Shame as it’s a great looking mic!

Not only the price is great. The microphone in design and sound and software are brilliant as well.
Cable comes from the bottom of the microphone, the stand has small hole at the bottom so cable management is perfect.
Sound is perfect. There are two options for voice capture so basically direct (when you speak directly to mic) and from all sides (probably for like podcast or something).
There are no problems with the sound what so ever, no echo, no humming, no static etc. Friend told me I sound lifelike through this mic as if I was next to him.
Mute button works easy, installation was easy, the software is nice and simple and works great.
10/10 Would recommend to anyone.
Really enjoy this microphone, unfortunately it doesn’t completely noise cancel my keyboard but it’s ok ^^
Qualit costruttiva ottima. Non disturba averlo sulla scrivania anzi aggiunge un tocco di stile e professionalit.
Tutte le recensioni che elogiano questo prodotto, sono secondo me giustificate.
Ma attenzione: l’articolo lo si apprezza se utilizzato in un contesto professionale e con strumenti professionali. Se dovete fare solo 4 chiacchiere su Skyp* o Google Meetin* state sprecando soldi inutilmente. Avendone provati altri di microfoni per streaming, posso dirvi che ad un prezzo inferiore troverete articoli pi che adeguati per un utilizzo ‘casalingo’.
Una cosa che ho apprezzato molto il fatto che funziona out-of-thebox su Linux. In particolare su Ubuntu 20.x basta collegarlo alla presa USB e viene riconosciuto subito.
It is amazing! Small, portable and looks perfect. Sound quality is the same with original yeti.
It had a faulty but I had no problem at all to change it with the seller. I had to purchase some connection to connect it to Xbox, wasn’t in the recommendations.
Easy to set up, easy to use, and great sound quality for a USB mic – well worth the money.
Bought for my father-in-law’s birthday as he is a lecturer working from home. he was jazzed opening it and it sounded great in the family zoom that week.
Arrivo dritto al punto: tutti gli altri prodotti non sono a questo livello. E si, costa parecchio. Ma vale ci che costa.
Con questo microfono ho fatto numerosi video di Youtube, tutte le mie recensioni su Amazon (o quasi, salvo qualche esperimento fallito con altri prodotti), i miei podcast. Insomma, un microfono veramente molto qualitativo che vale tutto quello che costa. Consente di far sentire il click del mouse, il rumore dello spellicolamento, il ticchettio delle dita sulla scrivania, il rumore del taglierino che incide un pacco.
E non solo, consente di sentire in cuffia, con audio diretto, ci che registra, collegando una cuffia con connettore jack alla parte inferiore del microfono e regolare il volume di ascolto dalla ghiera principale.
Sul retro la possibilit di farlo direzionale, per ascoltare solo l’audio frontale, oppure omnidirezionale per sentire l’audio da entrambi i lati, utile per interviste o per muoversi liberamente nella stanza.
Si connette al computer via USB e viene visto come dispositivo di registrazione a parte rispetto alla scheda audio integrata, cos si pu selezionare questo microfono e usarlo anche in applicazioni come Google Meet, Skype, Teams e naturalmente Audacit e la banale fotocamera di windows dove per pesca le preferenze dalle opzioni audio di windows ed li che occorre configurarlo.
Insomma, un prodotto veramente ottimo che stra consiglio, tanto che ne sto acquistando un secondo per la mia seconda postazione di lavoro.
Di qualit e molto valido. E talvolta si trova anche usato a meno di 100, prezzone per la qualit che ha.
I took me a good half an hour to get nano to work as i was having problems however after i looked my problems up it was all sorted very quickly, the sound quailty on this mic is amazing but it can pick up background noise very easily but thats sorted with tweaking the settings with its software. Brilliant mic absolutely would recommend
Good for beginner. But I changed nano to X because of limited sound catch.
This really is an excellent mic. I needed something for the many zoom meetings and live broadcast church services I am doing during the covid emergency. This works very well for that.
Seems good and it works with good sound capture and reproductio
Fantastic bit of kit.
I grabbed one to upgrade my voice quality whilst streaming and its made a huge difference.
It works very well with Discord and other apps requiring voice on PC.
Worth every penny, especially when matched with the Blue boom arm. High quality product and I’m told by friends on Discord that the sound they hear from me is very good quality. Good if you just want a plug and play mic without any interfaces
Comes with metal base already attached, but can be removed, very high quality material, heavy feeling, rubber base. Overall great value for money.
Brilliant Sounding, Good Value For Money Microphone! The only issue I have with this microphone is the software. The Blue Sherpa software has almost nothing to customise. Everything must be configured in each different software used with the microphone. Overall 8/10.
funzionano benissimo, comprate per conferenza a tre/quattro (quindi nessuna esigenza per musica o altre cose che ho visto come indicazione di acquisto, tipo podcast etc).
Quindi, per la mia esperienza d’uso, perfette per spendere poco ad avere una buonissima resa durante call di gruppo via skype (o altri strumenti di comunicazione)
Ho comprato questo microfono circa 6 mesi fa per i miei video e le mie dirette su Youtube, e me ne sono innamorato fin da subito.
L’audio risulta veramente molto bilanciato e naturale, ed l’ideale per registrare podcast ed in generale la voce parlata.
Essendo cos compatto e leggero inoltre non richiede un’asta costosa come il suo fratellone maggiore (Blue Yeti) e quindi anche da questo lato si riesce a risparmiare qualche cosa, mantenendo alta la qualit audio.
Rispetto sempre allo Yeti normale ha in meno due modalit, infatti questi modello presenta esclusivamente la modalit cardiode e la modalit omnidirezionale, che tuttavia per il mio utilizzo basta e avanzano( lo uso praticamente solo in cardiode, registrando sempre da solo).
Absolute quality microphone, deffo recommend, used to speak to mates on discord with a boom arm for game comms

Ho provato tanti microfoni Usb, rode, samson, ecc. Posso dire che tutti i microfoni della Blue sono eccezionali, partendo dallo snowball ice fino allo yeti X tutti performanti e con un rapporto prezzo qualit senza discussione.
Ho scelto di tenere lo Yeti nano per una questione di dimensioni, rispetto allo yeti, yeti X e via dicendo che sono molto piu’ grandi, questo piu’ piccolo e non da problemi sulla scrivania.
La qualit audio paragonabile ad un microfono professionale da studio.
Ho fatto varie prove e comparazioni e sono veramente contento dell’acquisto.
Ottimo per videolezioni, podcast, e registrazioni vocali di qualit. Anche sul canto non se la cava affatto male!
Lo consiglio a tutti! Per questa fascia di prezzo non si batte!
Non dimenticate di scaricare il programma Blue Shepa, cosi’ avrete pieno controllo dell’input in entrata velocemente.
El micrfono es excelente, su relacin calidad-precio me dej sorprendido, brinda una calidad de audio superior a la de productos de su gama, adems de que permite seleccionar entre modo de operacin cardioide y omni, lo que brinda un apoyo en el aislamiento de ruido externo, y adems no requiere ninguna configuracin ya que inmediatamente lo detecta la computadora. Y el diseo es bastante esttico, buena inversin.
Finally got my item! very happy with the product , easy to set up and works well with streamlabsobs! Thank you!
Bought for the new world where I need to present online and built in speakers on the Mac are very good but this is that much better for speaking, voice over powerpoint. Will get into garage band soon and test out more sophisticated use cases. It is so simple to set up and use, looks good and generally this is what I had expected. There is a wide range of prices and models in the market but Yeti is so highly regarded in reviews I felt that this was a good choice.

Fantastic mic sounds great and is an upgrade from my last the sound quality is brilliant.
This product was simply because I wanted a microphone to go with my new studio headphones for both gaming and business calls. The stand is amazing, almost entirely made of metal with a plastic clamp system to screw it onto the microphone. I removed mine from the stand and put it onto a boom arm using the supplied adaptor to the standard thread. The sound quality is perfect, maybe there could be more controls in the software however it is a USB microphone, if you need to have more control over the EQ and other effects, get an XLR with a mixer and that will be far more benefitial.
Negatives are that the microphone has very little adjustment on the boom arm, there is no way to angle it exactly as you want unless mounted directly 90 degrees from your face. Also, it is a little unfortunate that the volume button on the microphone is for headphones as I have studio headphones that are wired into an amplifier instead so it is not used at all. Finally, the mute button is often hard to press resulting in the mic picking up noise and that being very loud for anyone on the other end.
This microphone is not intended for studio use and is good for YouTube voice overs, gaming, streaming, Skype, discord and other social media however would struggle as a podcast mic or for recording vocals.
Hope that helps.

Le produit achet sur Amazon tait manifestement un produit reconditionn. Je l’ai donc renvoy et l’ai achet sur le site du fabricant. Je ne m’tais jamais pos la question de l’achat d’un micro avant le confinement et l’obligation de “tl-travailler”. Aprs quelques jours utiliser ma webcam, je me suis rendu compte que le son tait pouvantable pour mes interlocuteurs. Quand il a fallu trouver une solution, je me suis retrouv devant une offre que je n’imaginais pas. Du coup, je me suis fi aux commentaires. Et bien j’ai bien fait. Mes interlocuteurs ont immdiatement entendu la diffrence et les vidos que je fais dsormais (le confinement en a transform plus d’un parmi nous en youtubeurs) ont un son tout fait acceptable, bien loin du son mtallique de ma webcam. Je pensais initialement revendre le micro une fois que l’obligation de travailler distance serait leve, mais je crois bien que je vais finalement le conserver.
ace! makes your voice louder.
basically magic.
buy several and hand them out to local villagers, they will thank you in their vlogs and you will be a hero.
Bon micro, trs beau sur le bureau.
Bon son, retour casque indispensable entendre ce que l’on dit.
J’ai eu un problme de retour casque comme cit dans un autre commentaire, j’ai failli le renvoyer Amazon qui a d’ailleurs trs vite ragi. Tellement vite que j’ai du annuler le renvoi aprs avoir trouv le problme par hasard.
Donc si comme moi votre retour micro ne fonctionne plus, appuyez plus de 2 secondes sur le bouton pattern l’arrire, et bingo, le retour fonctionne nouveau. J’ai contact Blue, qui ne m’a pas rpondu…Pour l’instant…Rien dans la notice.
Bref, aprs avoir rgl le gain correctement par rapport votre type de pice, le son du micro est trs bon, condition de garder une bonne distance entre le micro et sa bouche. Entre 10 et 20 cm semble pas mal pour ne pas se prendre des PEEE/TEEE/SSSSS dans les oreilles si on est trop prs, ou un peu d’cho style, je suis au toilettes, si on est trop loin.
Avec ce micro j’ai pris gout m’couter…LOL.
I’m using the mic to record vocals for an album I’m working on and it’s quality was far superior to mics far more expensive and complex than this one. It outperforms them all in my opinion and for the money, you can’t ask for more. A quick change on the settings on mac, and plug usb in and go, it was easy and I’m technologically challenged so if I can do it, anyone can! .
I love the look of this mic, however, i don’t think it’s the best sound mic, but for the price, it deserves 5 stars. There are better sounding mics but you’ll have to pay more.
Qualitt des Tones einwandfrei, kein Rauschen absolut sauber fr Streaming und Broadcast geeignet.
Mitgelieferte Halterung fr Aufbau auf dem Tisch ist schn und passt zum Mikro, Steht stabil. Allerdings wrde ich einen Mikrofonstnder mit Spinne empfehlen, falls jemand whrend der Aufnahme die Tastatur verwenden will. Mikro ist so empfindlich, dass es auch Nebengerusche aufzeichnet. Mit vernnftiger Installation allerdings kein Problem!
Really good quality microphone for talking to people and streaming, slightly tinny sound in some of the mids and highs. Overal, would highly recommend.
I recently purchased this mic to use for recording voiceovers for videos I make, commentary during gameplay and also for recording instruments.
I have to say this mic excels at all three!
Firstly, I was impressed by the ease of installation. I run a windows system and as soon as I plugged in the mic, it was recognised, installed and was ready to go. I tested it with a variety of audio programs and was able to use it with no hassle in all of them.
The Nano has less features than the original Yeti, but if you are solely looking for a mic for gaming/Youtube/podcasts etc, I highly recommend this mic. Sound-wise I have heard no difference between the two in test videos I researched and the two recording settings the Nano offers are more than suitable for most situations.
The Nano is compact, a lot smaller than the original Yeti, and its build quality is very nice, even though it may look a little “plasticy”. Once plugged in it is pretty much ready to go, though I would recommend playing with a few settings such as gain to find the sweet spot for you. I am still doing this myself, though the sound I got straight away from the mic was well above anything I have previously recorded with a headset.
As for gaming, this mic will pick up your keyboard and mouse. How loud they will come across is dependant on your setup. I suggest a mic stand to avoid vibrations from using your kayboard. I also purchased a pop filter with mine and would put this down as a must to prevent yourself headaches when recording p’s and other “pop” letters. Having the mic away from my desk and in front of the keyboard has made it significantly quieter.
All in all I highly recommend the Nano, for the sound quality alone!

Very happy with the product. Simple to use, great quality.
Lovely little Mic – Sounds good and quite portable too
He probado varios micrfonos para grabar unos video turoriales para un proyecto que estoy haciendo y, con todos me pasaba lo mismo, un efecto de eco horrible y con dificultad para grabar bien el audio cuando te mueves.
Despus de leer muchsimos comentarios de quienes lo han usado, me decid a comprarlo y no puedo estar ms satisfecho con la compra. Una recepcin de audio espectacular y sin capturar ningn ruido de fondo adicional. Adems, con el software Sherpa que incluye, an tienes ms control sobre la grabacin de audio.
Adicionalmente he recibido un regalo en forma de caracterstica que no me esperaba, y es que si lo conecto al iPad o al iPhone con el Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, puedo usarlo tambin con GarageBand.
Lo dicho, todo un acierto.
Couldn’t recommend this any more. Best quality mic for the price out there. It’s chrisp, easy to use, and works like a charm. Having the led indicator helps a lot as with past mics I was just chatting to nobody on discord because I didn’t realize my mic had muted itself!
Great mic, can easily hear the diffrence from cheapwr options out there.
I bought the Yeti Nano to replace the cheap Aukey/Neweer/Generic mic I had previously purchased. The audio quality is night and day. Before I had to record my voiceover and then edit it in Audition to try and get rid of the noise and make it loud enough. Now with the Yeti I can record straight into Premiere and do literally NOTHING to the audio. I saved so much time in one video I’ve been kicking myself for buying the cheap mic in the first place.
The size of the mic is great, it looks nice, and the stand is very nice. Audio quality is really good especially when you tweak it a bit in post. I’ve included some sample audio without and then with noise removal. I’ll most likely be switching from a blue spark and audio interface to just this as the audio is good enough and I don’t want to deal with so many cables anymore.
