Status, October 2026: current. Logitech still lists the Yeti.
What it is
The Yeti is a USB condenser microphone, launched by Blue Microphones in November 2009 (Synthtopia). In June 2023 Logitech retired the Blue name, folding its microphones into Logitech G and keeping the Yeti on sale without Blue branding (PCWorld). Logitech now sells it as the Yeti, and its page still calls it the Blue Yeti in places (Logitech product page).
It has three 14 mm condenser capsules and four pickup patterns: cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional and stereo. It records at 16-bit and 48 kHz with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. On the body are a gain control, a mute button and a headphone output for monitoring without delay, and an internal shock mount protects the capsules.
It connects over USB with no drivers, to Windows 10 or later or macOS 10.14 or later. Logitech's free G HUB software adds Blue VO!CE, with EQ, a limiter, a de-popper and voice effects. It stands 29.5 cm tall in its desktop stand. The box holds the microphone on that stand, a USB cable and documentation.
Being a condenser, it hears more of the room than a dynamic microphone, as RØDE's comparison explains. The streaming microphone guide explains when that matters on a DJ stream, and compares it with dynamic models such as the Shure MV7+ and Shure SM7B.
