I noticed that when you test the microphones you test them similar to how Bandrew from Podcastage tests mics (Getting further away from the mic, playing an instrument etc.) and I honestly wished more reviewers did that because it really shows how each microphone reacts to certain things. Great video btw, loved it!

[@marcchapleau8343]

In the audio test it was obvious that the Rode NT USB mid-high frequencies were clearer, warmer and more natural then the Yeti. When listeling to the guitar, the Yeti was way too bassy for its muddy high frequencies. I clearly felt that the Yeti is a lesser sound quality product overall.

[@fritzschneebauer6565]

I have the Rode NT USB and hearing the tests I think it was the right choice for me! :-)

[@RennieAsh]

It's a USB mic of course it's simple. For when you can't carry an XLR setup or you just don't need that stuff - voiceovers, basic recording of instruments. Interesting with the frequency response, I guess with the proximity effect you get the radio announcer sound. The Yeti isn't any better with frequency response, but is different.

Choice is simple - Money or Quality ? If you looking for good price - Yeti . If you looking for excellent sound quality, take RODE. Trust me, i'm musician :)

[@فيصل-ع1ب]

Can I ask you something ? Which is better on gaming ?

[@MrPiootr81]

For gaming both are superb ...but Rode has excellent sound quality, better than Yeti. Rode has better high frequency than yeti and it has pop filter . Yeti dont have pop filter , you must buy and cost more money. I am very happy owner of Rode and I recomended it.

[@فيصل-ع1ب]

Excellent comparison demos. The guitar recording is where you can really hear the frequencies the yeti misses.

[@oIX3N0NIo]

Yeti has a wider frequency spectrum :D

[@nogocux]

The rode sounds more dynamic!

[@JFrameMan]

​@@nogocux I've been using the yeti for 4 years now, and I gotta say it does a fantastic job with the exception of mid EQ. With a bit of EQ tweaking, I was able to get a sound that other people can't tell is from a mere usb mic. when people ask what I recommend though, I go for audio technica or rode. I only got the yeti because 4 years ago it was cheaper.

[@lebronrobertsalabanza]

Wrong... the common ear wants the sound to be extra-bright and extra-bass, when you hear a clean/warm sound you think there are missing frequencies... Noobie mistake.

[@JFrameMan]

@@lebronrobertsalabanza maybe. I don't have the ear of a mixing engineer, but I just tried to replicate how "pros" with expensive mics sound.

[@midnightproductions3442]

I absolutely fell in love with the Rode NT. (just noticed as I was typing that it spelled rodent. cool) And knowing that the Rode ALSO has a headphone jack, I'm set.

[@yatharthkaushik5504]

Blue yeti also has a headphone jack

[@rhpmountaintrail9206]

Listening on my iMac the Robe sounded clearer and crisper. The blue yeti sounded slightly muffled and flat. Good detailed video many thanks.

[@Killacodycollects]

I had originally got the blue yeti, returned it and got the rode the difference in quality seems small in the video but in person it was huge I could not get over the way my voice was sounding on the blue, it seemed like it had this high pitch small distortion on the end of each word, and after researching I found it was a common issue, blue also seems to struggle on the customer service side as a company.

[@JayXJourney]

Thank you so much for this! My conclusion was the exact same as yours. I'm going to go with the Rode.

[@TheExtremeUndead]

I need a quick answer because I am about to order one Rode NT-USB microphone. Does it work on Win7 or only on Win8?

I think they sound almost identical. Vocals sound slightly smoother and warmer on the Yeti. The Yeti also picks up less ambient noise, almost none in the second example.

[@BrianJames0964quack]

Tacanacy I agree. If you ask me, if I'm gonna invest, I'd rather have a smoother, warmer sound. It picks up pretty much no background sound and just generally sounds nicer in my opinion. (Plus the different settings and gain nob)

[@TheOfficialNukeDem]

I've been wanting to get the blue yeti for a looong time now, but this video has changed my mind completely and I have to thank you because the rode is exactly what I was looking for in terms of sounds from a microphone ! :D very clear, very sharp, perfectly accentuates the highs and mids without obscuring the lows, while the blue yeti sounded just a bit more "scuffed" in that aspect. Right now the blackout blue yeti and the rode are both at 134 euros so it's an easy choice :P Thanks for the video ! It truly helped me !

[@hoangvan251]

Are you still using Rode? I got some comments that Rode's quality is not good as Yeti during time

[@spamball5314]

Since it is cheaper I would go for the blue yeti. I already got one but it wasn't reliable. I used it for less then a month before the mute button stopped working, and the audio quality turned into a staticy, phone voice. I am returning the yeti to get the rode nt usb. I am switching because I don't know how reliable the blue yeti can be, but the rode nt looks much more reliable.

[@BeastOrGod]

Kinda cool, because Røde means Red(plural) in Danish and Blue Yeti is, well, blue. So, it's Blue vs Red.

[@ratiarti4829]

Ghostly Det er rigtigt brormand. Vi elsker Danmark 🇩🇰

[@SonicAlpha]

I went for the Yeti when I wanted an upgrade for my audio setup, and can't recommend it enough. However, I will say that it gets a lot more expensive when you add in things like shock mounts (even if you go for the awesome third party Auphonix mount), and pop filters.

[@garystackhouse5787]

Longtime producer/engineer/musician/broadcaster/voiceover artist. No question... even if they were equal in price, the Blue is far more versatile. If you used the polar patterns properly you'd have seen the tone of the mic changes drastically with each, and each is best for different situations.

[@LightDL]

I think the yeti wins on the price/quality ratio! Because its 60 dollars cheaper! But in terms of sound quality hell yeah Rode is the way! I'll go for the yeti since its cheaper! :P

[@jamisthebest123]

Instead of a Yeti, id get a Samson C01U. Way better and cheaper than Yeti

The Rode definitely sounds better for cardioid recordings, but I like the Yeti for it's price to quality, I think it has a little more bang for buck (in my opinion). Obviously it is more versatile because of the different pickup patterns. But since I only use cardioid, I might get the Rode mic if it becomes cheaper.

Good video but Your guitar test was flawed on the yeti as you had the wrong side of the yeti mike facing the guitar FYI

[@pilotactor777]

Really tough to tell the comparison. When you compared the two mikes with the pop filter on , you used more "plosives' when using the Blue yeti-so it popped alot. Then when you played guitar-each mike had a better resonance in each version-hard to standardize the positioning i recon. I CANT SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM.

[@lionheartroar3104]

The Rode sounds much better than the Blue Yeti

[@vh9network]

From 1 meter away both mics sound exactly alike. But when you started at close range, the The Rode sounded warmer and louder. Listening with Sony 7506 headphones.

I like the usb connection at the bottom of the Rode and it has more highs. I like the Stereo and figure 8 setting on the Yeti and the price. Also the gain can easily be turned up for those 1.5 and 3 meter distances with the Yeti. Sad about the usb connection.

[@BrianJames0964quack]

feelgood99 the a blue Yeti pro Blackout looks downright MOIST though.

[@greggsworld4453]

I think the conclusion is: The Rode is a great out the box zero config/editing microphone. The Yeti is a flat microphone so you can shape your sound in editing, this is what makes it versatile. So it depends what you want. Speed of production (Rode) or dynamic application (Blue Yeti). I am going for the Yeti as I have solid audio editing knowledge and i am an idiot for creating more work for myself, otherwise I would take the Rode! Thanks for the video. Great quality and microphone demonstration!

[@PhenomenalCreations]

Hey dude! The yeti does have a gain nob yes, but thats just a physical feature. In every recording software you can change the gain of the mic. Every mic have this, so yes, the Rodes gain is alterable, but in software. So dont worry about that. The Yeti just has it there for convinience! Hope this helped!

[@MaxRiley]

Hiya buddy, thanks for your reply. So, if I was to use the microphone as well for skype calls (apart from recording music and singing which would be the main purpose of it) would it have a good enough gain to be heard clearly when kept a couple feet away or should I stay very close? Thanks a lot. I appreciate.

[@nagol5178]

That's not true. The gain in the software is not the same thing. The Blue Yeti has a built in Pre amp and when you're turning that gain you're turning the pre amp hotter. Like if you plugged an XLR mic into an interface or microphone pre amp standalone, that is what it's doing, except you don't need an interface for it. The Rode has to have a built in Pre Amp as well or it wouldn't work but I don't see anywhere it's adjustable. If you adjust the gain in recording software that is not adjusting the gain of the pre amp. The pre amp is analog, it goes before the signal hits digital. Then the analog pre amp, rather it be an interface, a standalone, or like the Blue Yeti, converts the analog pre amp into a digital signal. The Blue Yeti Pro has both USB and XLR if you want to use an interface or a tube mic pre amp.

[@pussywhisperz1515]

If you're just lazy to go on windows and change the volume, and want worse performance for your laziness, sure go ahead.

[@Melibond64]

I'm PussyWhisperz btw, just my second account. If you're gonna say that the Blue Yeti has a shit preamp, i'm not gonna agree... It is not top of the line but it is more than what you pay for and the Blue Yeti Pro i have has an outstanding one, like the Blue Yeti Pro shouldn't even be called Blue Yeti.... it's a whole other thing. I own all three mics so, i compared them countless times.

[@Decrepit_Productions]

I wasn't expecting to hear any worthwhile difference between the two, my hearing being pretty much shot these days. Yet the NT-USB came out the clear winner sound wise. Only on the furthest away voice test did I consider them roughly equivalent. Still, because of my hearing I'd settle for the Yeti and save some much needed bucks.

Either one would be fine for game voiceovers. Choose what kind of sound you like more. The Rode may have that "radio announcer" kind of sound if you go up close due to more proximity effect. You could apply an EQ to the sound anyway.

The Rode certainly has a fuller and crisper sound on both vocals and guitar. However, the Yeti wasn't that far behind and the fact that it has 4 selectable polar patterns as opposed to the Rode's single pattern is also in the Yeti's favour. It can also record as a single stereo mic, something that the Rode can't do. Both would be a good buy imho, although, I'm swayed towards the Rode.

For talking and group chatting (podcasts, room band playing) it seems good for it. BUT, what say the singers/vocalists about which is better?
