I don't know how the Blue Yeti continues to get so much praise. i got one years ago when the hype was especially fresh. People were using it over their headset mics for comms while gaming but I swear there is no way anyone who recommended them for that ever heard the mic from the other end. It picks up everything. Even on an arm with a shock mount and pop filter it's still better to just use a properly directional headset mic. Better to sound like you're talking over a can and string than to have every little sound clearly audible.

> I don't know how the Blue Yeti continues to get so much praise. Because they're fine mics for folks who are familiar with using condenser mics or willing to learn. Otherwise, dynamic mics are a safer bet — the ATR2100x-USB is a great starter mic, for example. > It picks up everything. Not any more than a dynamic would if cranked to a comparable gain level, which is a popular myth¹ about condensers. ¹ https://www.homebrewedmusic.com/2009/12/30/myth-busted-the-too-sensitive-condenser-microphone/ https://www.homebrewedmusic.com/2009/12/30/myth-busted-the-t...
