After researching microphones for a while, I settled on the simplicity of going the USB route so that I wouldn't have to deal with other audio accessories. While I wanted to get the Blue Yeti Pro, I struggled to justify the price given that I have never had an external microphone before.
I ended up getting the Blue Yeti Nano and have been enjoying it very much so far! It has been a massive improvement to my voiceovers for screencast recordings and I've had great feedback from others when using teleconference tools.
What I love:
- Build quality is amazing - this thing is heavy!
- Audio quality is a major jump compared to what I was used to with integrated mics (opening me up to a whole new world of audio)
- Very easy to use - just plug-and-play (test on macOS Big Sur and Windows 10) with Blue's software being optional
What could be better (but isn't that bad):
- USB-C instead of micro-USB
- More control within the software (totally understand that this is for Blue's more advanced microphones)
For now, the Blue Yeti Nano more than meets my needs! If I end up doing more audio work in the future, I may move to the Blue Yeti Pro for more control, but I'm genuinely impressed with this model.
