I have never owned a decent microphone before this one. Only inexpensive computer mics. When I pulled the box out of the shipping box I was impressed with the packaging. Very nicely done. When I opened the box I was also very impressed with just how well designed the packaging was!
After removing the item from the box, very easy, I plugged it into my computer. The computer automatically downloaded updated drivers. I am using windows 7. The small instruction book walked me through the process of setting up the mic and adjusting volume levels. Again, very easy.
I them proceeded to open up my recording software. I spent 30 to 45 minutes testing the mic and just messing around with it. Wow! I am no professional sound technician, but I have to say the sound quality is fantastic. Well worth the money for decent sound.
I am in the process of producing pod-casts and videos and wanted decent sound quality. I didn't want to sound like I was in the bathroom or inside of a fish bowl. With this microphone I may not look professional, but I will sure sound like it! I did order the blue pop filter to go with it, however, it has not arrived yet.
I also ordered a video camera system and am excited to try out the microphone with the video! I am no expert by any means, however, I highly recommend this microphone for making videos or pod-casts.
Oh, I haven't found any cons yet, but I just got it! :-)

Omnidirectional mode picks up sound all around the microphone. Great for conference calls and captures the feeling of "being there."

I paid more than I should have
The recording is great, Blue Yetis are the bomb when it comes to the tech side. And while I knew I was buying used, I feel it should’ve been lower priced that what I paid. It was really scratched up and the side knobs don’t like to stay tight which my first one never had problems with. I worry about how long it’s going to last because if it’s this beat up, clearly someone didn’t care for it the way it deserved. I wish I could remember what the listing said, but I can’t access the description anymore. But we all know how sellers are, they’re worried about one thing and that’s get the most money out of everyone to serve themselves. I would not have bought this one if I had known how beat up it was. 🤷🏻♀️ What are you going to do? You get what you pay for and then sometimes you get even less. Oh well!! Next!
