That's it. I made up my mind. I'm buying the one made by Blue.

you look like luke skywalker when older

"the yeti is recording, Yeti is recording the blue snowball is recording, blue snowball's recording Camera 1 is recording *CaMeRa 2 Is ReCoRdInG* "

I bet this guy's voice sounds amazing even on laptop mics

The digital interference on the Blue Yeti is rough.

Are you the love child of Mark Hamill and Zach Galifinakis?

They sound the same. So I'll buy the more expensive one

I heard some static coming off the yeti which disappeared as you switched to the snowball

Dayum the camera 2's framerate is painful to watch

Can you make a review of your voice. I want to buy something like that, I'm done with mine lol

This is so helpful, thanks! Also, you're really patient and clear with your presenting style, makes it accessible for everyone without being partronising.

Great voice, audio quality, and thorough review. love the amount of detail you go through with your breakdown of mics. way better than most youtube review videos. keep up the good work.

This is by far the best video to figure out the differences. The constant switching might first sound like a bad idea, but it is actually a "sound" idea and gives us a really good overview. Thank you for this. You made me go for the right choice.

They sound very similar I have the snowball ice I think I’ll keep that no need for an upgrade thanks man! 🤓

I've watched a few comparison videos on this and you've done the best job I've seen. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the frequent switching when recording and speaking normally. That's how I do my tests when trying to decide on filters.

Dude, you're so nice. I'm actually a musician, not a voice artist, and I keep coming back to see your videos even if the content isn't 100% for me. I discovered you in the NTA-1 vs. AT-4040 and found you pretty funny and natural. Amazing job!

Did anyone else feel like the difference was more and more noticeable as the video went on?

This is only the 2nd video of yours that I’ve ever seen and I can immediately tell that you were (or are?) a morning show radio jock. You have a very easy-going, friendly delivery. I’ve found your videos helpful too. Thanks.

Thanks! I took your advice and got a snowball - now my videos sound amazing!

I used a Yeti for about a year and a half and got a great sound out of it with a little work. Nowadays, I use the Rode NT1 which doesn't need much help to sound great. Great video, Mike!

What I like on these kind of videos is to have a short period of silence so that it is possible to hear the inherent noise floor of the microphones. Could you do that in your next videos please? Great comparison btw.

This guys seems so polite i watched of the other mic video and he was being so careful and polite.

Thanks for this tutorial! I just bought a Yeti yesterday. I made a few test recordings prior to watching your video and they sounded horrible. Turns out I had it on cardioid and was speaking into the back of the mike! After watching your video, I turned it around and (adjusted the gain way down) and now it sounds so much better!

Been watching since the inception of the channel. All the reaper stuff, the acoustic panels, the whisper room, evening. Love it. Keep doing what you do. The resource is invaluable. Thank you!

0:52 "These are two sister microphones. Brother microphones? Sibling microphones. They're friends. They're together... but not in that way" That was a roller coaster

Dude, props from 2020. Thanks for the help my guy. your personality resonates!

*This is the BEST review I've ever watched* Keep it UP!

Dude, go apply for a luke skywalker stunt double Right NOW 99% you will get accepted.

Battle of the Blue Balls :P

Thanks Mike! Perfect comparison for someone who is looking for a 'quick and dirty' mic solution for VoIP, just a step better than the laptop mic. Answered all my questions, and kept it interesting.

I like the tone from the Yeti and the pattern select works way better than I expected.

I'm starting to use the snowball for my setup now so hope it goes well I do want to upgrade later on

I have an old Radioshack Realistic branded Super Cardioid Mic. Nice finish, 1/4" output, and sounds great.

love your personality! awesome vid! cheers!

Just bought the blue snowball mic. Very happy with my purchase :)

The microphones may sound the same at first, but I've been using the Snowball for years now and I really notice that the Yeti is way better. You only start to notice it when your ears are already adjusted to the sound of the Snowball after a lot of editing :)

Great review. Your channel has really become one of my favorites to watch. If you ever get the chance, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Kaotica Eyeball just cause everyone I've seen review it never really goes far to prove the claim that it "takes the room out of the equation".

A Really good review, thank you Booth Junkie !

Side by side mic, It's really Excellent review. Thank you so much.

Well, this video just lets me know how much sound treatment on a recording area makes a difference. Goodness do these sound different coming from your setup than mine.

I came here for a mic review, but instead, I fell in love...

Thank you sooooo much for making this video, now I know how good the snowball is and this video is a great help!!! Thanks again.

Man, this is the first of your videos I've seen- and I'm hooked. Insta-subbed, notifications turned on- I'm excited to delve into your backlog and see what else you have, thanks for the videos!

Sir, wanted to know when is Hangover 4 releasing. Huge fan!

I love your videos! You are so good commenter and it is so relaxing to watch you talking about microphones, I can listen to you all night :D Have a nice day!

This guy makes me happy :D Seems so chill and nice

This is great and in depth. Very helpful. Thank you! Really appreciate this video

Hey booth junkie. I am starting a stream up soon with my twin brother and I was wondering if you knew if we would be able to use two blue snowballs in the same room without getting any echo? Thanks

I have a Snowball, and it’s actually better than people think. With good EQ and compression, you can get really good sounds out of them (obviously not as good as you could get with high quality mics, but still).

may the force be with you

Many thanks for making this comparison review video! It helped me out a lot and I ended up buying a Snowball iCE with which to start my vlogs.

Mike only hits the expensive mics.

Hello, Thank you for all the great work that you do. I have both and have sold them in favor of Zoom H2s as the best USB mic out there and is most versatile. Have you used one? Also, something you said here reminded me of a request I have for you. Will you please talk about mic techniques and what I can do learn more, Will you please direct me to where I can find more information on the subject or perhaps you may consider creating a course? Thank you in advance.

Litterally steals my heart with that opening 🤣 loves it. I just decided on my yeti X btw

This is so important, thanks!!!

I might go with the Snowball it sounds pretty damn good, and I'm on a budget's budget

This is really well done and thorough. I am starting a content program to build credibility as a financial advisor, so audio quality directly translates to perceived professionalism and expertise. What really made the difference for me was the proximity effect comparison. The bassiness of the Snowball would make me sound overbearing, and I don't want that. Also, I like being able to monitor the Yeti and change the recording pattern... in case I do interviews and need the figure eight pattern. Thank you!

Beautiful review. I'm standing in Target right now trying to decide. Subscribed! Thanks dude

Thank you Luke!

Holy crap the snowball is like talking through a PVC pipe and the yeti has this high-pitched wail in the background. Weirdly enough, I don't normally hear that in the yeti, wondering if you have a lemon of sorts. Snowball has a slight one, but not as noticeable. Thank you for the cheap comparisons though, I appreciate the no bs comparisons. Makes it easier to recommend low-budget mics to friends!

So which one should I get?

This is exactly what I came here for. Thank you so much!

Loved the video, funny, and your voice is so chill to listen to. :)

I have the Snowball Ice (my first mic actually) and it sounds about the same as the regular Snowball. Has an even worse stand though. Its only when you start using "proper" microphones that you realise that these just aren't in the same league. Not bad for starting out though.

I bought my Yeti on prime day for about US$70. I'm glad you made this video, we can clearly hear the difference.

I really liked your video, specially your final words!

Thank you for posting this, it is very helpful!

why am i watching this when i own a yeti?

Snowball was my first ever mic, but yesterday i bought my second ever mic, the yeti, as i have heard great reviews n it.

the best mic test ive ever heard/seen

Very clear sounds ;) Thanks

the yeti has a high pitched ring to it you can hear it when he switches

Samson Go Mic vs C01-u pro vs q2u

I'm about to get the blue yeti and I'm so excited.

It took me 7 whole minutes of listening to your voice to understand why I recognized your name. Thanks so much for continuing to lend your voice to nosleep! Your work is greatly enjoyed!.... damn I'm slow on the uptake...

dang, the voice really makes the mic. wow

Blue Yeti is fantastic. I use it for 3 years now. Works like new. awesome vid as always!

Best review style, thanks for this

Appreciate your video! Looking for a new mic and these are the 2 i was wondering about. Good stuff man!

Your vacation was probably a trip to Tatooine

I can hear a high pitched whine coming from the Yeti. It costs more, so I would assume that it would generally be better, but that whining is driving me crazy.

Thank you for your honest opinion on them!

Very informative. Thank you, sir!

*clicks video randomly to see how my Snowball stacks up* "Oh hey, his voice sounds familiar..." ... "Oh shit, Mike DelGaudio! The guy what spoops me on Nosleep!"

too bad, you did not do the distance testing. I am wondering if you stand 2 Metters away, what 's difference between both?

I’ve just started watching your channel, really enjoying what I’ve seen so far. I bought the Yet the other day as I wanted to started doing some voice work and wanted something very affordable to see if I have the chops for it. As you say, you can audition with the Yeti, it sounds OK for what it is. If I get a job ill borrow my friends NT1 and preamp. Thanks for the channel. Love it.

The Best Tip for Beginners starts at the end 12:00 I don't want anyone to miss that! Definitely worth listening to the whole video just to get a good idea of sound quality, features, etc as you can find many similar elsewhere. I'm an indecisive tech junkie on a budget, I really needed to hear that, I knew where to start and had a few in mind including the snowball. Thanks for the video :) I prefer the sound of the snowball, not sure why, I personally find it sound better, this video is helped me decide between any blue line and a non blue line, although I love the sound of blue I will save that for the future as the options available in the ------ are much better for the price.

I am getting yeti

It was really weird when he had it on stereo on the yeti

Hey man great review straight to the point loved it

Thanks for the breakdown!!

You look like Bradley Cooper in American Sniper

the yeti has a horrible high pitch buzzing sound.

Love these videos. Side note: My first mic was a Snowball. It was such a thin, dry, tinny, pant-load, I didn't even bother to try to sell it. I got much more satisfaction by throwing it in the bin. In retrospect, I wish I'd had someone give me a nice softball pitch so that I could have heard it crack against a nice wooden bat.

Video still is great 3 years later

whats that high pitched ringing omg

OK Mike, I think it's time for a USB Mic shootout, from the snowball on up --- samson, AT, Apogee, shure, the whole gang! Maybe you can get sweetwater or B & H to send you samples???

Great vid, thanks for the comparison.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!
