The Yeti is one of the best-known USB mics, now sold under Logitech G. Its 3-capsule array gives multiple pickup patterns, so the same mic can record one voice, two people facing each other or a whole room, which makes it flexible for casual interviews. Logitech's Blue VO!CE software, which runs in the free G HUB app, adds EQ, a limiter to protect against clipping and a de-popper, along with fun vocal effects like pitch shifting and reverb. On the mic itself you get latency-free headphone monitoring, a gain control and an instant mute button, and an internal shockmount protects the capsules from bumps. The tradeoffs come with age: it is a condenser design that hears more of your room than the dynamic mics here, and it offers fewer onboard processing tools than newer models. At $139.99 list it sits mid-pack, but it was $109.99 on sale when we checked. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test it.
