This is a fully black version of the Yeti microphone. It, as all models of this series, has an adjusting wheel on the body, which allows it to change the way it hears sound. This lets the mic imitate two or three separate microphones.

The heavy-duty casing of the microphone makes it both heavy and reliable, so that this mic will be a very durable one. It is all painted a black color and has a few simple controls for volume and muting. The microphone is positioned on a jointed arm that gives you the ability to position it precisely where you want.

The device is able to record sound at very high quality and is able to record sound from 20 to 20000 Hz.

Pros:

  • The microphone is also available in over 10 different color themes besides black

  • The microphone is built to hold a pop filter, which is super useful when talking or streaming

This microphone has a high-quality receiver, which allows you to get a very high sound quality, up to 24 bit. This is great for a microphone of this price range. The cardiod pattern allows you to have accurate capture of any sound in your vicinity, and this makes it possible for you to record stereo, even though you have a single microphone.

The wide frequency range from 30 to 16000 hertz allows this to pick up bass notes and gives reproduction of almost the entire sound spectrum.

The model is plug-and-play, meaning it connects with a USB plug that allows it to quickly come into interaction with your computer and begin working. In most cases it starts working right off, without needing any drivers, either on a Windows or Mac PC. The device is also compatible with any kind of operating system.

The model comes with an adjustable, jointed stand and a pop filter that blocks loud noises.

Pros:

  • The device is available for a very low price and at the same time has a very high quality
  • The model only picks up sound from in front of it, without taking in a lot of the background noises
  • The device is suspended on a holder that allows it to be right in front of you when you speak

Cons:

  • Does not have a mute button, which, in many cases, is very useful

This device is a USB microphone that is able to give up to 24 bit sound, which is crystal clear and covers all of the sound spectrum. It connects by a USB 2 port, which can be backwards compatible with a USB 3 port.

The maximum threshold is 16 kHz, while the lower is 30 hertz. The device is recommended for streamers and video narrators for reproducing human voice perfectly.

The mic is quite inexpensive for the level of quality it offers, and it arrives with a pop filter that will prevent it from catching loud or unnecessary sounds. The model has a 16-millimeter electric condenser, which records even the smallest details in the sound, resulting in a very good recording.

The mic is also great at catching bass notes and this is also because of the large diameter condenser.

The USB microphone is mounted on a shock mount that prevents vibration and tipping over and also allows you to position it perfectly.

Pros:

  • The model comes with a very good mount, equipped with wind foam and a pop filter
  • The device is affordable and for this price, quite high-quality
  • The model is good at capturing bass and overall, giving a high-quality sound

Cons:

  • The sensitivity causes it to quite literally capture people talking behind walls two rooms away
