Four pattern modes, Gain knob, Mute switch, Good sound, iPad compatible,
Bulky, Unbalanced sound between back and front of mic, Knob construction feels cheap.
While I wish the mic were slimmer, the knobs heartier, and the sound more balanced when recording from the front and back of the mic, the Yeti sounds good, packs plenty of gain, and offers a lot of value and versatility in a $150 USB mic. ...

Whether you're recording a podcast, an interview, or a concert, the Yeti's THX-certified sound quality, integrated gain control, and four recording modes (including stereo) make it a top choice for a USB microphone.
