Shure SM7B Vs Blue Yeti | Which Microphone is Better? Mic Comparison

The Blue Yeti USB microphone was my main mic for several years, and I was quite happy with it. But I recently upgraded to the more expensive, more professional Shure SM7B Legendary Vocal Microphone which requires a more extensive set up including an XLR connection into an interface, a cloud lifter and a mic arm. Which one do you think sounds better?

Value = Blue yeti Performance = Shure SM7B Personally i've had compliments on my yeti's sound, but i've also heard multiple people with the shure SM7B and it's noticeable how clear and warm they sound. SM7B is probably the best sounding microphone you can buy, but that yeti is a heck of a buy if you get it for a good price (i got mine for $100 USD)

The biggest difference he points out here is that the SM7B (the $400 mic) is a "dynamic", ie: "directional" mic. The Yeti is a "condenser", which picks up EVERYTHING, instead of just what's directly in front of it. The Yeti is more conducive to recording instruments in a sound treated studio. If they made a dynamic Yeti, I'd buy that over the SM7B. The Yeti has a much more crisp tone. You need to add that in editing with the SM7B.

I think the reason Garageband didn't pick up as much audio from the Yeti is because the input device was still set to be the SM7B. That being said, the SM7B is still much better, the richness of your voice was incredible. The Yeti has to work much harder to reach that level.

I've been using a Blue Yeti since 2014, I recently just found out about the SM7B and I really wish I knew this microphone back then... being my main usage of it is at my desk, talking on Discord, recording some voiceovers and streaming on Twitch, the blue Yeti picks up a lot of unnecessary noises, such as my mechanical keyboard, the clicks of the mouse, etc... I recently updated my stand, so at least now I have it on a Rode PSA1 too, with the Radius III shock mount, so AT LEAST it's now sounding a bit better than before... but I really love the SM7B, and I hope to upgrade to it maybe next year! I really think that a dynamic microphone like that would be a much better option for me, even for chatting over Discord and streaming on Twitch, since I doubt it'd pick up the keyboard and mouse as loudly as my Yeti does!

The Shure seems to be lacking in the high range. Are you sure you're speaking directly into the top? I can't really tell from the video, but it kinda looks angled upward a bit. Also, I'm wondering, does the recording quality of the Blue Yeti get bad if you record from the side perpendicular to that which you were recording from (90 degrees, not the opposite side) as it does recording from the top? Thanks for the informative review.

My gf got a blue yeti in the summer and wanted to do some voice overs and what not, sounded really good. Though, when I did some editing I always felt like I had to eq out weird frequencies or things just seemed off it was a pain in the but messing around for hours sometimes. I finally decided to upgrade her to sm7b, and good lord she sounds like an audiobook now. The sound difference is on a new level. Literally threw a compressor on it, no noise, and nothing I feel I even need to eq sounds so full. I didn't get a cloudlifter but the store gave me an 80 dollar pre amp and the focus right scarlette solo. Just sharing in case someone deciding for the Shure SM7B DO EEEET! EDIT: Should also mention I made her one of those pvc sound booths too a few months ago big help.

Blue Yeti is a VERY underrated microphone: it is excellent for the price point. For speaking/narration, I think it is as good as any more expensive XLR mic. It doesn’t have much in the range of dynamics, however. I think Lane’s wave forms demonstrate this. The Blue Yeti isn’t very good at recording instruments and louder sounds like shouting. Thanks.

Turn the gain down all the way on the Yeti and get much closer. It can sound way clearer than it does in your video. I use a Yeti to record my podcast and the voiceover bits in some of my videos and it's crystal clear for me with no real soundproofing. If you look at my currently most recent video "Beard Journey 2.0 - Day 1" at about 4:25 I use my Yeti to do the voice-over for that bit. I did zero denoising or post-processing on that audio and it sounds great.

Sorry, but 2:50 you have to use the Blue Yeti right in your face too to get good quality. You could get the sm7b to clip too like your Blue Yeti did. Just reduce the gain of the Blue Yeti. I know that is way harder to get the sm7b to clip because it needs so much gain but it is not the fault of the mic if it clips it is your fault and yours alone. If you happen to have a Blue Yeti put the gain where it needs to be (no clipping) so that you can speak to it within a 3-4 cm. If you use 20cm the Blue Yeti will sound poor especially in a not optimal room because you get a lot of reflection - you can hear that in the video.

you're making the yeti sound worse dude, you're meant to use it closer with gain either very close to / all the way down for it to sound good. while it still isn't as good as the SM7B, it sounds way better than what yours did. In my experience it picks up on almost no background sound and sounds amazing.

Blue yeti is a nightmare IMO.. as a condenser mic this thing picks up everything, even with the gain low and being in my bedroom with soundproofing. It picks up cars on the road, dogs walking a mile away you name it. Once it picks up these other sounds it makes my pitch less clear and more mumbling because it picks up to many sounds at once. All in all I don’t understand the hype. It’s been a decent starting mic and maybe just depends on how your studio set up is but for anyone that has any background noise or lives in the city I’d suggest something else

1) Use the Blue Yeti with a mic arm too 2) Put the mic within 2-3 cm of your mouth 3) Adjust the gain of the mic and your audio chain so it does not clip "Hearing everything" just means that you input gain is way to high. You can use the Blue Yeti with gain set to "0".

I think that the people like you who do comparison videos like this should be a bit more educated on the products they are comparing. The Yeti doesn't have to be that far from your mouth as you state in minute 2:52. In fact, it's much better to reduce the gain to 0 (you have it set to 45% approx) and place it closer to your mouth so that: 1. It doesn't distort as it does in your case (since you got the gain set too high for how loud you're talking). 2. The noise that the Yeti picks up from the environment is much lesser.

I don’t think this is really worth a comparison, 2 completely different prices, ones a usb, the other is an XLR and one is a condenser mic and the other one is a dynamic mic

Yes, they are very different. However, a lot of people with Yeti's are interested in upgrading. And a lot of people looking to buy a mic don't know where to start in terms of price point. A comparison of two different mics and two different price points is helpful to those people.

@@LaneSebringlive I think the mic for comparison would be better with like a Rode Podmic or a Shure MV7, two mic's similar to the SM7B but closer to the yeti in terms of price

That’s fair. If I had those mics I’d do a comparison. Maybe I’ll buy them and do it.

Sorry to say this, but the price range of the two microphone one priced at $110 and another at $400 is too big of an difference. Don't ever buy the blue yeti honestly owned it broke in 1 year.

I have the blue yeti microphone and I hate it. After years of making songs with the blue yeti, I can say it isn’t good.

The Yeti sounds way batter, the price also. You can get 3 yeti mics for the price of that one. The Shure sounds like your in a can.

You're comparing a close micd SM7b to a Blue Yeti about 1ft away. That's like comparing apples to dinner knives. @ 3:43 you kind of close mic the Yeti and whatdyaknow, it was the best sounding part of this clip. The proximity effect warmed up the yeti and you still had the clarity of a condenser mic. Unless you need to kill off some ambient background noise, you've downgraded your sound. I'm gonna have to thumbs down this video for your inconsistent testing methods. Put that yeti up in your grille like you did with the SM7b, turn down the gain so it doesn't distort, add a pop filter, and then we'd get a real comparison.
