What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Blue Yeti USB Mic for Recording & Streaming on PC and Mac

The size is good and the handle and comfort to play is good.
Very nice-looking, substantial in weight. Versatile with configurations.
Easy to setup and create clear and crisp audio! Fairly large for the size.
Although fairly large in size, the quality of the product is evident. Large selection of settings.
It is very sturdy and has some weight to it. It looks and feels professional!

Blue Yeti Pro USB Condenser Microphone

Some people do not like the size and extra weight to this mic. It is heavy when mounted in the stock desktop mount, but when I need portability this mic delivers and it is very well built
I was surprised by the well constructed and the weight of the microphone.
It's a little larger than I expected, but it's still totally a nice desk size.
It is just too heavy. More so, with the Radius Shock Mount, my Know Arm Stand (made for Yeti), just collapsed.
Slightly heavy weight

What customers say about "Features"

Blue Yeti USB Mic for Recording & Streaming on PC and Mac

Simple to use and records great sound. I use it to record podcasts and the multiple recording patterns are a godsend. I love this mic.
There are manual switches for both gain and recording patterns - stereo, omni, cardioid, and bi-directional.
It’s a very sensitive microphone, it picks up a lot of low and mid frequencies.
It also features a 3.5mm standard audio jack port which allows you to plug in earphones to get real time monitoring. I really like it.
Amount of background noise and static detracts from what should be professional quality.

Blue Yeti Pro USB Condenser Microphone

The ability to monitor through the Mic via headphones is amazing, the versatility to record through USB and Mic cables makes it even more outstanding.
The controls are strait forward & keeps matters simple.
Wonderful microphone, sounds very clear and has high quality recording.
Has 4 different capsule modes to fit your recording needs that can be easily adjusted
Has the option of being an analog mic or a USB, so it's super versatile
Screw holes for stand are just gaping and open when placed in a shock mount via the bottom screw
Stand does not have any sort of shock absorption, so it will hear every desk-bump and even movement from your corded headphones
