Today I review a new USB mic from Logitech the Yeti GX. This is an USB supercardioid dynamic mic with RGB lighting. The software is pretty good but has a few faults, while the sound of the microphone is bested by every other microphone I compared it against; this sounds similar to the mic on a headset.

Thanks a lot for that video. I think the overall message is, that Logitech should fix many issues in the software. For me I can say that the software is to difficult for beginners.

@Podcastage 10 месяцев назад

Yes they should fix many issues in the software. I added a list in the description in case they see the video when it launches.

@@Podcastage Good idea 👍In Germany many people are using Blue Yeti and Blue Yeti X mics. There are no videos online how to set it up perfectly from a to z. I think it is a good mic to start very cheap because here in germany a used Blue is about 30-45 Euros.

@packofgrass 10 месяцев назад

Logitech put no heart into this microphone. They bought Blue and now think that using the Yeti name will sell a microphone regardless of its quality. What they don't realise is that consumers can see right through that. If they just made a good microphone for an affordable price they would sell way more and build up a reputation for quality products. The Razer Seiren Mini is a great example; £45 for that sound quality is incredible. Same with the Q2U. Thank you for another quality review Bandrew! I would've loved to hear it compared to an SM7B or RE20, just to see how it stacks up to one of the 'endgame' dynamic mics.

@Armbrust210 10 месяцев назад

@lilonfireagreed. Consumers bought the original Yeti for the Name. And that was just as bad, or actually worse imo

@packofgrass 10 месяцев назад

Those people are weird @lilonfire

@packofgrass 10 месяцев назад

I think you misunderstood my comment guys. I said that consumers can see through bad products. I also said that if they made a better product for cheaper it would sell better. People aren't dumb. Nobody's choosing a Tonor mic over an SM7B, people just can't afford to spend £400 on a mic.

@theoutsiderjess4869 10 месяцев назад

@lilonfireone its affordable and two as someone who owns that mic its better than the blue yeti which is 124 dollars

@Podcastage 9 месяцев назад

Yeah. I think many people will still buy this without researching it just buying it based on brand equity, but many of them will end up with a bad taste in their mouth if they care at all about sound quality.

@theungnome8868 10 месяцев назад

I honestly think for the same price, the Elgato Wave 3 is a much better bet. Not only does the microphone just sound all around better (in my opinion at least) but you also get the feature benefits that come with it, such as Clipguard and Wave Link.

@mycosys 10 месяцев назад

For the same money you could get a Behringer UCA202 and a decent dynamic

@Dr-Lex 10 месяцев назад

I strongly agree. I love my Wave 3 and the Wave Link software is very useful

@Podcastage 10 месяцев назад

Exactly. I think you commented before you could have arrived at the recommendation of the video but that's what I said. The Wave 3 sounds better and has the same functions (and some because you get mixing as well).

@xHadesStamps 8 месяцев назад

The Wave 3's pretty nice, plus you get an additional feature. Even forgoing those features, as well as 24-bit (because the mic was released in 2009--almost as old as the original BLUE Yeti), however, you could also get a Samson Q2U, save some money, and *still* be better off (granted, other than the oldness, the Q2U's still pretty nice--not dunking on it or anything).

Throughout the test, Bandrew didn't appear to be happy with the mic that announced Blue dead. It was the long-term professionalism that led him through this.

@Podcastage 10 месяцев назад

I do find it sad that they retired the Blue brand because Blue had a history and although I didn't love all their mics, they made some really interesting stuff. Blue didn't really do much the last 5 years short of update the yeti, but at least their existing more prosumer and professional mics were still pretty good.

I just hope the gaming companies that took over them will have the chops (and the heart) to further build upon their solid sound quality, instead of merely trying to cram them with as many gimmicks and as much wow factor as possible. Also, more transparent pricing would be desirable (a while ago the Neat King Bee II's price increased- seemingly for good- and I still have no idea why that happened)

@TheActualJae 10 месяцев назад

Shure SM7db Review?

@JamesBarr17 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review, I'll be passing on this microphone though I'm still trying to find one that stands less tall on the desk than my Shure MV7. Near the end you mention "similar features" on the Shure MV7. The Shure MOTIV desktop software is trash with almost no features at all; saying it has similar features is very misleading in this regard. The MV7 is a great-sounding mic, but Shure doesn't give a crap about desktop/gamer use as evidence by the junk software. I think you should actually call out how bad and featureless Shure's software is for USB mic use.

@Podcastage 7 месяцев назад

I don’t think the features of the MV7 is bad for a USB mic. Prior to 2-3 years ago the only feature you had on 99% of USB mics was you plug it in and you set your input level and sample rate bit depth. The MV7 software gives you some EQ switches, ability to EQ, compression, and limiter. Those are a HUGE update from prior USB mics. So I disagree with your assessment that it is junk software. If it doesn’t meet your needs that’s one thing, but it is far from junk software in my opinion.

Oh no. That scroll wheel coming directly from their mouse line makes me worried they're going to be using the same terrible encoders. Had several of their mice, all ended up with buggy scrolling after some light use.

@Podcastage 9 месяцев назад

Hadn't considered the encoder knob going bad, but that'd suck.

Bandrew, this is the first one of your reviews I'm having trouble sitting through. And it has nothing to do with you. For the algorithm's sake, I will watch until the end. I know you need the $0.001 from this view so you can pay for that alleged mic.

@Podcastage 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for sticking through the whole thing, much obliged.

@VidMashUp 9 месяцев назад

@@Podcastage For you? Always. I find you extremely entertaining and watch every video more than once. in fact, I'd love to see longer form content that doesn't have all the tangents edited out of. Maybe a separate channel, if you don't want them here? I would eat that content up.

@RainbowCornet 10 месяцев назад

I'm sure this being an end-adress microphone will not cause any confusion for the average consumer on how to use Yeti products.

@Podcastage 9 месяцев назад

Haha. I'm sure not. Everyone who buys this will totally use it correctly.

Great video as always! Are you going to review Presonus Revelator Dynamic? That mic has features similar to this mic. I believe you have the condenser version of Revelator mic, which you covered only on your second channel. I like Revelator io44, which is an audio interface sharing the same onboard DSP with the Revelator mics, and using it with XLR mics gets me much better result than any USB mic.

@Podcastage 10 месяцев назад

I was going to review some of the revelatory stuff, but I had too many issues with the interface and gave up on it and really lost interest in it using that thing ever again.

@soramittenpaw2127 10 месяцев назад

@@Podcastage Thank you for your reply! I've heard about some issues people experienced with that audio interface, but I have not experienced any major issues with my unit. The only issues I had were 1. meters didn't work on my Windows 10 machine (they worked on my Windows 11 machine) and 2. the headset input did not let sources other than plug-in power ECMs reach my PC when I connected other sources like a line source and a dynamic mic using a headset breakout cable, a transformer (Shure A96F and Hosa MIT-156), and a pad even though the level meter on the built-in display was reacting to the input. I was able to feed those non-plug-in-power-ECM sources into the headset input when I used a 3.5 mm TRRS interface (Saramonic SmartRig).

@MarksBigOlHam 10 месяцев назад

I said they castrated Blue and what they used to be after the buyout. I was DEAD WRONG. They castrated it, mounted it's head on the wall and tried to look for more yetis to try and turn into rugs or head trophies on the WALL. Can they just bring back thee old Blue website and give the Sona the Blue branding back?!

Hey man I was just wondering what your boom arm is

@Podcastage 8 месяцев назад

The one I use for the reviews is some affordable LYXPRO one I bought years ago. It's a common design and very inexpensive and a lot of people use this style of boom which is why I use it for the reviews.

@Coruko-nh8uf 8 месяцев назад

holy cow dude, it has been a while since last watch of your vids and wow you have gotten so skinny, congrats if its intentional, anyways off track great review, this mic is total doo doo

@DailyTechNews.mp4 10 месяцев назад

You can't even see the RGB as the user of the mic xD It just gives you a reflection of it in your monitor... I defninitely thought this was a 50...maybe $80 mic when I saw/heard it... OG Yeti SO much better (obv. dynamic vs condencer but....)...also... hate the sound 😅😁

@Podcastage 10 месяцев назад

I would absolutely recommend the original yeti over this one.

@senseianthony 7 месяцев назад

now i kinda feel bad, i wanted a good mic for streaming, i used the logitech g pro x headset until now, but in your video the sound quality sounds extremely good to me.. i could've gotten the yeti x for 20$ more, but the gx was on a real good discount.. so went for it (got the gx for 50$ discount because end of the year discount)

Don’t feel bad. If you’re happy with the sound quality, use it and have fun.

@Kragatar 10 месяцев назад

Logitech bought Blue a few years ago.

@HOLLASOUNDS 10 месяцев назад

@@Kragatar This new Mic looks nothing like a Blue mic, the Blue mics look cool to Me, a bit classy with that blue logo. This new mic looks worse then a knock off Yeti.

@TomWhoASMR 10 месяцев назад

Blue was the company that made the Yeti mics, Logitech bought Blue and acquired the Yeti mic brand.

@Podcastage 9 месяцев назад

As was pointed out. Logitech bought Blue Mics in 2017. The first mic that was released after that was the Yeti X, then the Yeti Nano. Then we got the Logitech Blue Sona. Then they retired the Blue brand name and kept the Yeti name alive and now we get this. Maybe the blue team wasn't involved in it.
