With such a statement, as it does not disappoint once bought if you decide to focus your attention on him. If you can afford one of AT2020 Audio Technica or Shure SM57 (especially this one), you can let the Yeti find its audience without feeling guilty for not having supported its status as "number of sales". But if you want something simple (USB plug and play and you are gone), solid (quite a kilo of metal here, including foot) and efficient (and I insist on it), and do can afford the other two microphones I quoted you, please.
