Weird times aside, the rise of streaming and DIY digital recording has seen a meteoric rise in the past decade or so. And even though we're all struggling to find a microphone and webcam to join in on Zoom meetings, the Blue Yeti X is here to stake a claim for the very best USB microphone available today.

the Blue Yeti X features what you would call high-fidelity recording with the ability to capture a wide frequency of sounds with the clarity and depth you’d find on a professional recording. A USB microphone that can stand up to an XLR setup.

Where it excels comes from the harmonious unity between the analogue and the digital thanks to the USB interface and the robust Blue VO!CE audio software. But it’s with the hands-on approach to the physical design of the Yet X – where you have direct control and visual feedback over its main features without the need for software – that highlight its stellar design. Tactile feedback without having to look at a screen is something of a god-send in the audio world, and the Yeti X features things like a high-quality LED meter for your voice/recording in addition to being able to switch between the various Polar Patterns on the fly.
