    Bad time to collaborate with blizzard lol

    • This is actually quite old.
      while yes its a bad time, they did the colab before the sh*t hit the fan

      • Probably flogging it because of current events

        • would probably explain the markdown yeah
          fewer streamers using it to plug it too.

          Most of the WOW streamers i follow are playing other games atm and playing wow off stream and a lot of them were given this mic for free in exchange for plugging it via Amazon

    nitpicking but love how Blue is stuck in the past with their micro USB and mini USB ports

    • I was curious about it not being USB-C,but the wife gets what the wife wants and USB is still prevalent among desktop machines which these are squarely aimed at.

      • True, but they could very well go with USB C to USB A, the C port being the one on the mic

    Have a look at the Fifine k678 or k690. Amazing microphone quality for the price.

      there's a lot of good products that aren't overpriced because of their brand name (especially if you go the XLR/non-usb route).

      my daily driver is a neat worker bee which outperforms its price and my back-up is a takstar sm8-b which provides incredible value (if you're willing to wait for it to ship from china).

  • Elgato Wave:1 beats this these days at its current MSRP, and the Rode NT-USB wipes the floor with this at $130-$180, but there are so many different options that punch way above the quality level of both once you hit the $200-$250 range.

    XLR + dynamic will get you fantastic quality for streaming or vocals, unless you want a condenser to capture a bit more ambient/background noise.

    But purely for USB mics for spoken word, when there's a Shure MV7 sale for $180-$200, that's just unbeatable until you go to $500.

    • where to ge tthe Shure MV7?

      • It was a Prime Day deal @ $199 with cashback stacked to take it to $170ish, I think: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/632680

        Will be cheaper after discounts and cashback for Black Friday, I suspect, but that's 3 months away.

      Careful when comparing an item to another when using the MSRP, it could end up with someone throwing an unfinished PC build at your head.

      • I mean it's a microphone.

        • Obviously you didn't understand the joke I was making.

          • @Beyond: While I didn't, I also didn't neg you. Joke needs a lot of work though…

            • @jasswolf: It was a joke for the PC builders/enthusiasts.

              Because the thread was a WoW Yeti microphone, it seemed like an understanding audience.

              The latest gen of GPUs were being sold at 3x the MSRP for quite a while, users would compare current "deals" to the original price; many users had a newly built PC gaming PC without the GPU.

                @Beyond: I understand the joke, I just didn't understand that you were making a joke. There's a difference. :P

                @Beyond: Fair enough. I thought the throwing of an unfinished pc was enough to give the impression.

    Rode NT-USB or Podcaster is much better at this price point.

      Its not, it really really isn’t

      I was drawn into getting a Rode Nt because “Aussie design and build quality”

      And who doesn’t love to support home grown stuff eh?

      But god is the RodeNt not good.
      It can plug and play which is great, works with anything, but there is nothing ontop of that to handle ambient sounds, improve vocal quality/focus or anything of the sort. You buy a rode you get JUST a mic.

      You buy a Yeti and you get that and a suite of functions that are perfect for a gamer.

      I got the rode, my best mate got the yeti.
      Having tested each.. i retired my rodeNT without telling my friends and the moment i started on my Logitech Pro X gaming headset, they instantly asked “new mic? Its clearer!”

      Tldr; Rode is NOT for gamers or anyone focused on voice chatting

      • How far away did you have the mic though?

        • me, keyboard then mic and then screen.
          so roughly 30CM at most away from my mouth.
          (direct sound wave to absorb all of my voice/sounds)

        This is such a weird take. It's a condenser microphone, not a dynamic microphone, it's not supposed to be rejecting much background noise. It's also tuned to be fairly neutral, so it can do things like record instruments.

        There's so many different ways to EQ and noise filter a mic these days, you should not be buying any microphone for those features, it's genuinely foolish.

    Dropped even further AU$150.92

    • Good one for recording music vocals?
