Blue Microphones - Yeti X USB Microphone

I've got a Blue Yeti X that works really well for me. Never had issues in my 4 years of using it. Can record anything I want with it, works great.

Here are a couple I’d recommend for recording music through Audacity: * **Audio-Technica AT2020USB+** – super crisp for vocals, plug-and-play with USB, works well for singing. * **Blue Yeti X** – slightly more feature-heavy than the regular Yeti and still beginner-friendly. Great for vocal clarity and doesn’t need an audio interface. * **Rode NT-USB** – clean sound, durable build, and plays nice with laptops and Audacity. It even comes with a pop filter which helps with plosives. If you're recording regularly, consider investing in a mic cover or flag to cut down on ambient noise and give your setup a more polished look. I got mine customized from **Chief Swag Officer**—they do cool mic covers that add some personality to your setup and help reduce unwanted pops.

Personally I use a Blue Yeti blackout and enjoy the upgrade from the Blue snowball. But I just wrote a comparison of similar mics here if youre interested in the read : https://thegamingglitch.wordpress.com/2025/06/05/best-budget-microphones-for-twitch-2025-edition/ 

Consider also a Logitech Yeti USB mic. Aside from being a good all-around mic, it's wicked simple to hook up to your computer or phone.

I personally use a yeti blue multi pattern

Hi! I am a nerdy female developer by day, streamer by every freetime I have. I am of the more ancient creatures, you can call me hag or experienced (*´∀`) I started about 5 months ago with a little avatar I did in paint, a corsair headset, my old computer that I don't fully remember the specs of, but it did crash after the first streams 😅 I used OBS and veadotube light when I started. Now I have GX Yeti microphone, brand new comp with i7 ultra 265F 2400mhz, 32gb ram and geforce rtx 5070. Otherwise the only change in prohram is I use vtube studio now. My channel is one of those - I play everything, it is the fun time that matters (^-^) There is no judgement. There is no elitism. Also it's octopus themed! I ebgage a lot with ny chat and I talk a lot - even when no ones watching (if thats insanity or just dedicated I dont know) I tend to do all things myself, even my Octogirl vtuber (was a lot of work as an amateur). Another thing is that I most of the time co-op with my fiance, so you get 2for1. I think we got a great repotoar going. Sharing a video of my latest looong vod (last of Dispatch), but also just a random short clip if people find that a bit intimidating.

I use the Logitech Blue Yeti and love it. It's not the nicest mic on the market tho (audio-quality wise) after this mic I want to upgrade to the Shure SM7B. I also use speakers because headphones start to hurt my head after a while :) Do you have noise suppression and noise gate filters turned on (if you're streaming w OBS)? That should remove a lot of your speaker noise

I use a Blue Yeti mic with an adapter into my phone and it works very well. I use Soundcorset as the recording app. This is about ~$100 USD setup. The small Tascam recorders are smaller and more portable, but IMO have similar sound quality to the Blue Yeti + phone.

Buy a standalone mic like blue yeti or hyper x or something along those lines.

I have used blue snowball ice for 4 years, now jumped on logitech blue yeti, no problems, clean sound :)
