Blue Yeti Nano Microphone Review & Blue Yeti Comparison

This is the Blue Yeti nano Microphone. A newer, smaller sleeker, sibling to the super popular blue yeti microphone that everyone loves to use for KZbin, Twitch, voiceovers and ASMR. Just looking at this thing, it’s tiny compared to its predecessor. But, should you even consider picking it up over its more established bigger brother? Let’s find out with a review.

Blue Yeti Nano: amzn.to/2Pvf5r2
First when you open the box you’re greeted with the Blue Yeti Nano, a micro usb to usb cable, some manuals that can go straight to the trash, and a silica gel bag that can also go in the trash. Looking at the microphone itself has this metallic look to it and has a nice heft. And the mic itself is like 50% larger than my fist. I know what you’re thinking it literally looks like a miniature blue yeti. And that’s the point. It’s called the blue yeti Nano. It is just a miniature blue yeti, but there are differences other than size. This blue yeti Nano has a volume knob up front that doubles as a button. When it’s green its ready for use, when it’s red, it’s muted. On the regular yeti, these things are separate. The nano, connects to your computer via micro usb, the cable that you’ll find with a lot of different android devices, while the big yeti uses usb mini which isn’t as common. The threaded mount on the bottom is perfect for tripods but the mount adapter in the box does help if you need it the same size as the original yeti. There’s also still a headphone jack. Thank god they had the courage to keep that. On the back of the mic there’s a button to switch the sound mode between cardioid and omnidirectional. The bottom of the stand has some foam padding and the mic can fold down into the stand.
Now talking about how this mic looks and feels is nice. But how does it sound? Does it compare well to the Blue Yeti? Yes. That’s the answer to both. Using my super high tech dj sound boarding skills, I managed to listen to both back to back and at the same time, and well. It sounds exactly like the blue yeti in every single way. Here’s the audio comparison of both mics with me saying some basic Harvard sentences.
Okay so as you can see, they sound pretty much the same, with almost no differences. Both had the same amount of background noise and both were super clear. Making the nano, sound-wise just as good as their Blue Yeti.
Now what’s the downside? There’s got to be some negatives. Well, the blue Yeti Nano, build-wise feels cheaper than the normal Blue Yeti, and it lacks two other sound modes that the bigger one has, stereo, and bi directional. These aren’t deal breakers either considering that the most popular sound modes used on the blue yeti are probably the omnidirectional and cardioid modes anyway.
So, overall what’s the purpose of this microphone? It’s cheaper than the original blue yeti, has a smaller more portable form-factor but lacks some more versatile sound modes that the original yeti has. Overall, I can see this being a hot selling product for upcoming youtubers and streamers who want a nice sounding mic from a popular mic brand without all the extra features. This mic is a good value at $100 for a stationary and somewhat mobile product. I think it’s a good buy from me. It’s everything people love about the blue yeti microphone in a more compact and portable package for a smaller price too.
Anyway, guys, what do you think of this mic? Would you consider this over the Blue Yeti? Does it fit your needs? Leave that down in the comment section below, if you enjoyed this video, give it a thumbs up, and well, don’t forget to subscribe. I’ll see you guys next time.

I didn’t know this product even existed. I walked into a Best Buy and there it was. New and not yet reviewed on KZbin! What do you guys think of it?

[@Podcastage]

Jimmy Tries World something tells me Best Buy is gonna get in some trouble for selling it before it was even announced.

[@MichaelAulia]

There's supposed to be an embargo for it but another store has also listed it up on their page

[@Ss-ej8dt]

thank you for the review same thing happened to me walked into bestbuy and youtube brought me here. thanks bruther

[@iKingRPG]

It is great! one thing you didnt mention is the original has a gain dial. the nano has only the headphone ones.

[@maksimaleksic7164]

how did you edit your sound? do you have something like a driver?

[@boomtoon43]

I'm gonna be straight up honest, I found your channel while searching up this mic, and honestly I thought you were gonna be a much much bigger channel when I got done watching, the cinematography and editing here very much gave me HardwareCanucks vibes, definitely earned a subscribe, and I look forward to you future content!

[@JimmyTriesWorld]

Thanks for the kinda words! I would not compare myself to HardwareCanucks though! My quality is, in my opinion still very inconsistent across videos and it’s something I wish I had more time to work on. But again thank you, always looking to improve!

[@benjidabull]

so true

[@pineapplefroot8580]

I just found your channel looking up mic comparisons for the Blue Yeti and Blue Yeti Nano and I gotta say I really enjoy the pace of your video and how energetic you are while reviewing. 10/10 I look forward to more of your videos.

[@TheModfather66]

Brilliant review! I've been looking at upgrading my microphone from the blue snowball to the yeti to give viewers a more clear sound (not that the snowball is bad or anything) and seeing that there's an option to save a little bit of money without compromising quality and still sticking with a name I can trust is great news 👍

[@MidnightVentures]

I love the comparison you made. I just bought a Nano for my channel and this makes me happy. I subscribed!

Good review. I was all set to buy the original Blue Yeti and was just waiting for Friday to see if there were any deals and I happened to see a mention of a Blue Yeti Nano. Hadn't heard of it so I looked at some reviews and that's how I ended up here. I will get this one unless the original Blue Yeti has a deal for under $100 then I may as well get the original for the same price.

Good review!

[@brendaly5842]

I had a hard decision between the blue yeti and the blue yeti nano. I know the original blue yeti has a knob for gain and 2 more options for sound profiles. But the original also lacked portability which was my most important thing. The original was also out of my budget of 110 dollars.

[@somearizonaguy1407]

Just bought my first yeti. Super excited to try it out! Great production quality man. What song did you use in the background?

I've owned a Blue Yeti mic for over 7 years and I always thought that it'd be the perfect mic if only it were in a smaller package. I've been thinking of getting a new mic since the mini USB port is becoming loose by the day and the size of it has always been a bother. This looks to be the perfect product ;)

Amazon had the Yeti Midnight Blue on sale for $89; they also had the Nano for $88. I actually went with the Nano b/c I like that it's more compact and will take up less desk space. I just use it for KZbin videos, so don't really need the extra features of the original Yeti.

[@sageakporherhe783]

wow, this was all I need, making the purchase now. I'm buying the nano.
