Your loud background music really helps in hearing the difference, thank you!
You said it xD
Sarcasm in peaks😂
AGREED! I'm here because I'm heavily considering the Rode and here I am jamming to music and not even paying attention to the audio fidelity at all

Квант-Сёрфинг oh ya
Why are you playing music over a mic comparison video? Kind of takes away from the point of the video...
EXACTLY!
Kids. They just don't think about these things.
#FACT
I agree
Jordan Aaron Smith yupp he is sposerdt
He looks like Sid from ice age
YES
LoL hahahaha
lmao!!! im dying!!
Lmfaooooo😂😭😭😭😭😭💀
OMG I WAS RHINKING BRUH THIS DUDE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE THEN THIS COMMENT OMFG 😂😂😂😂😂😂
To me, the Rode NT-USB sounds better.
I really want that microphone
I agree, based on OTHER reviews. the music here made it very hard to focus...
HillyBilly Gaming i have it its good
Ø
both sound crap... (forgot was wearing beats as headphones)
shots fired
Lol beats are trash
They aren't shit, just a muddled bass heavy pile of piss sprinkles
they're :)
Well Beats are bass heavy, So you're hearing almost all bass, And shit anything else.
Marz, buy some cheap ones of Ebay and show us what they sound like because I would like to see if you can get some really cheap deals.
This is a good shout
Look at a channel called podcastage for this his videos are really good
I agree I would really like to see that
when you said "they can only be recorded on a computer because they are USB microphones" at 5:00 That is not completely true, if the USB microphone has a headphone monitor output that is analog audio that can plug into a camera through a 3.5 mm male-male AUX cable. That is if your camera has a microphone input.
The TECHnique good point haven’t thought of that lmao
Helped me out a lot, thanks! Ps.: To those interested: The Platinum Edition together with the "Blue Microphones The Pop Adjustable Universal Windscreen" fits very well together and you don't need additional things to mount it.
Which computer mic has better noise cancellation and mic quality? Blue Yeti or Rode.
+Zeno Rode
+Zeno Røde
+Zeno Røde
Røde
rode but if ur close enough and there is no background the yeti has higher qualty
Putting music under a microphone test isn't exactly the best way to get your point across, you know?
You have same lips than Anoying Orange haha
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking he might be the joker without the scars
Sergen Tasdelen fuq fr
LMAOOO
I’m fucking dying hahahahahahahaha
i think the Rode NT is better because it sounds pretty real. the yeti is a bit more radio-like sound and not the best for gaming when you are right in front of the microphone
I want to do anime video or even small series like those what should i use
loving the professional look to the tech flow videos 👌
Nice video. I use the Rode Videomic Pro, seems to be pretty good value.
7:33 Haha, since when is microphones cameras :D?
+FarzanMC lol just noticed
+sk3rd ☆ CSGO & More ☆ haha
camera microphone means you can attach it to a camera so instead of using a shitty mic with the camera you can use a external good quality one
Darth Vader He said "picks up everything around the camera".
Benny Lahtinen Omg u idiot he's talking about how the camera picks up every thing around the mic
I love the rode nt1 but its a xlr mic and needs a preamp. Otherwise you should of included the blue snowball cause its probably the best for the price.
It's called a shotgun microphone due to the fact that it captures audio like a shotgun shoots.
It's called a shotgun mic because of its barrel - like shape. Search it up.
M00SE yes, because its like a shotgun barrel shooting in a specified direction
+Czecher +M00SE Nah you're both wrong. The back of all shotgun mics have a small compartment to load a standard shotgun shell. The black button on the side will fire the shell in case of a North Korean invasion. Look it up.
Oooooh
***** yes, but they fire in a cone like pattern.
How many of those teeshirts do you own?
good vid but you shouldnt use Music in background when You are testing the micrephones
microhones
Shahan I Fredrikstad True.
Take the blue yeti off the stand and use a studio arm and shock mount, the stand picks up noises like typing if it's on a desk
You make such great content and normally I wouldn't do this but I feel you can take some criticism......for a tech channel I really feel you need to have all the facts before you make a video and know 100% about the products you are showing. Reading voice patterns from the Mac is one example. Also this doesn't actually show what is the best mic for CZcams it just shows 4 mics that you have. What was the best? What would you suggest people get? These are just small niggles and don't get me wrong I love your content it's always great just think this tech stuff needs some polishing :)
+Tye Tree, I actually agree with you.
Totally agree with you
JLnationTV, almost the exact same word use as my reply :P.
I think that these are their top choices, and it is your choice to what you need. They want you to decide and think about what you need the mic for...
I agree. He doesn't even really give comparison as to how these compare to other microphones out there. And his second example was way off from what the microphone was supposed to do. For CZcams I'd personally say that an xlr shotgun microphone (like the Rode NTG2 or AT897) running through a preamp into the DSLR is best for when you are recording a subject. If you are stationary near a desk then you can use those microphones with an audio interface like the scarlet 2i2. If you are doing voice overs then the USB AT2020 or Blue Yetti. Really shallow video in my opinion.
Thank you Alex for the review. The only problem with the review is the background music. It covered up any flaws in the recording of the Mics. What I would have wanted to know is about background noise. Did either pick up too much background noise that Audacity had to reduce?
Wow this video is professional AF, loved it! haha
asf*
+Extinct If this is so professional, why is the camera person having seizures?
Extinct If this is professional, why does he has music in the tests?
The Rode Mic is not Plastic at all... the Stand is... the rest is made of the EXACT same metierial as the Blue Yeti.
personally the rode NT USB is better for me, it is also cheaper in Australia.
TECHnique Well lucky me, saving up
thanks for all your videos u really inspired me to start u tube and I'm definitely going to get the shot gun mic
Please stop playing the annoying as hell music during the entire #*#*@* video
Bruce chill
Sam stfu
Carnivorous Turtle chill
+TechFlow I use the Blue Yeti with my canon camera; if you plug an aux cable (i use a beats headphones one) into the headphone socket underneath, and also directly into the camera's microphone socket it will use the mic to pick up sound - you have to have the microphone's micro USB plugged into a power source however! cool video man
The quality of your video is amazing! What resolution do you upload the file at to CZcams?!
Elio Camey It's 4k!
Paras Makholia no it is 1440p which is 2k
I much prefer the sound quality of the røde microphone. However it mostly depends on how good your viewers headphones/speakers are, so for the next episode, could you do the best speakers and headsets for youtube? Thanks
P.S I have put the Røde NT-USB microphone in my basket and will hopefully be getting that soon! thanks a bunch Alex!
Who else thinks he should have a very short intro after Alex does the introduction.
Even with the annoying loop in the background, the Rhode sounds much better. To compare them, listen at around 7:48 which is when the Yeti's settings match the Rhode's. Some of the options on the Yeti make it a nice choice if you have a need for stereo or gain, and especially for me, the headphone plug in the front that's great if you have a person coming in on remote where they feed becomes a two-way discussion and speakers may cause a feedback loop.
rode nt is some much better i need it, i think imma but one :D
You'll "but" one
+mighty bacon buy*
BLUENOSE4™| Free Intros U can fix the spelling error by editing your comment :3
+mighty bacon no I can't and it doesn't matter
for the first its røde and if u dont have the ø letter then its oe so u say roede and the second dont blue yeti is better
I like the music behind the microphone tests, I can hear all the detail.
What about for Laptop?
he is using a laptop
Hybrid Gaming OK.
I would get the blue yeti, sound quality is great and there are a lot of options to choose from to fit your circumstances.
I'm sorry, but doesn't his mouth look really big? xD
xD
+SirThePickle weirdo...
oo thats true
I'm sorry but thats rude
+Eclairo YT Christ the amount of hate I got for this one comment is ridiculous
Blue Yetti is obviously more flexible and those polar patterns are great. The Rode only has a cardioid polar pattern but it's sound quality is better imho. The pop filter on the Rode is also an essential handy accessory that the Blue Yetti hasn't got, but you can pick up a cheap pop filter for that mic so it's not such a big deal.... I'd buy both for different situations- Rode for straight podcasting and Blue for instrumental and location recording.
Rode NT-USB k
I read through many of the comments looking for opinions on Snow vs Rode, yet so many comments are right out of kindergarden. You Sir did a great job on the video and narration. Keep up the good work.
Got the Rode NT-USB for christmas :33
Røde*
+benjamin juvik Rode, Røde, Rõde, Ròde, Róde, Rœde, Röde, Rôde.
+benjamin juvik I can't write this symbol D:
congrats
rœde
Am i the only one who thinks the rode has a better sound qualitie.
Mabey it just because it is to far away from the blue, but what do you think.
UR LIPS ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING
Edit: Sorry for this shit I was like 10 yrs old when I said that.
RIGHT
KKK
lolololloloulououloluoulouloulololoolololollolooloaloallolologlkohfghnfnubtbnt omgggggg SO BIGGGG ILL MAKE A SONG FOR YOU........you have big lipss......and I can't stop staring......Their so big!!!Ill make me dieee!

The last mic you showed sounded better than the Blue Yeti (or atleast I think it did) but only because the yeti does not have a built in pop filter, and he could have tweaked with the settings a bit more for better results.
The Blue yeti looks like a big ****
+Heяø ϟ Hypex your mom did
I have one and it’s really big, about a foot tall
Heres the honest result, They both sound good enough to get the job done. So the clear winner is whichever is cheaper
ewww what is wrong with him
I can't exactly figure out why but I never liked the Blue Yeti. I ended up buying a Zoom H2N and it is absolutely wonderful. It has all of the features of a Yeti with the added benifit of being a battery powered recorder. It works as a USB mic too though. IMHO it sounds better as well. When using it as a recorder you have the option to record much higher detail recordings.
So please tell me, are you using the rode shotgun microphone for this video throughout?
The Blue Yeti sounds best in my opinion based on the examples demo'd in this video. Love it when it's in cardioid mode.
The NT USB is miles in front in sound quality. The Yeti blew out plosives at around 7:07 (PPPPpretty much what it's doing is PPPPPPpicking up) it's also weaker in eh bottom and mid range pickup, your voice sounds a lot more natural through the NT USB because it picks up all the frequencies we'd hear when we hear you speak face to face.
Thank you for the awesome review. I think the Blue Yeti looks better and it's nice that it has different features, but the sound of the Rode sounds a little warmer and deeper, I think the sound is better!
the blue yeti is an amazing microphone, I have had it for half a year and the range of options for a microphone for £100 is amazing and the build quality is really strong and satisfying, the only problem ive experienced is the weight of the microphone, I bought a mic stand for the microphone and it didn't hold up well and gradually lowered over a period of time, but I would say this is the best microphone if you vary on different videos from gaming to interviews etc.
The rode sounds so much better. Great vid guys!
Thanks for the top video Alex. Will be getting myself the Rhode USB.
Why did the audio get so quiet when you activated the yeti? Is it because that was the unaltered audio (i.e. no compression/enhancement)?
I mean once you have a pop filter on the blue yeti, its almost exactly the same and comes more down to the features. However Rode usually has a better reputation when it comes to audio devices over blue.
Hey, Alex! I use SamsonMeteor for CZcams and it does a great work! The sound is familiar to Blue Yeti, but a bit cheaper :D
Sound quality sounds pretty much identical and other than looks, I can't see why you wouldn't choose the Yeti as (in the UK at least) it's about £40 cheaper than the Rode.
Great video by the way, the best comparison video I've seen for these two mic's.
Great video! I bought the Yeti and love it!
I find the rode is more of a calm professional mic and the yeti is more of a over exaggerated mic sound... idk if you know what i meant but i like both mic! :D I have a snowball and its not even bad! especially for the price
Great video man x keep up the great work x
Thanks so much for all the information!! Loved it
"if you're not doin it i'll be annoyed"
this bit made me laugh hahahaha
I have both the blue yeti and at2020 plus haha
Who did your channel banner?
+RageElixir Love your videos man :D
Lol I have at2020 xlr 🤓
+Jack Yoder AT2020 ALL THE WAY!!
***** The AT2020 is factually the better mic. The Blue Yeti is a VERY good cheaper option.
The Rode NT-USB even with less features has a better audio quality. Also the build quality is excellent with an old metal design. If you want something for commentary and don't mind the extras the Rode one is the best choice.
I use the Rode NT-USB my self and its really nice on an arm stand, you cant put the Yeti on one, at least a cheap one :P
Hey there bro', I really liked your video. I'm a retired IT Pro and I've never gotten into the audio end of things so this is all new to me. I'm just setting up my first home studio CZcams setup so entry level equipment is required in order to get EVERYTHING I need. Now, onto shopping for upgrades. Currently I'm using an inexpensive, unbranded BM-800 condenser mic. I've also picked up an Alesis Multimix 4 USB FX Mixer with Phantom Power. I appreciate the ease of use with the USB mics, however, the cost of the device can be a bit out of line because with each one you're buying the same devices over and over built into each mic. With XLR a mic is just that and all signal processing is done by the existing modular hardware which will reduce cost of the mic replacement or give that little bit of financial wiggle room to get a better mic. That being said, I'm now looking at upgrading my BM-800 to something a little more studio grade such as MXL or the AT2020 etc. I'm looking to achieve that warm, radio announcer tone with low noise at an affordable price around $100 or less for a good looking quality SLR cardioid mic, any suggestions? Great video and I'll be subscribing and looking for more.
I would definitely prefer the Rode NT to the Blue Yeti, the Yeti's quality sounds a bit altered (almost like it is trying to hard).
I'm going with the Blue Yetti Michael, because you have more options with it which if you like to change things up sometimes you won't have to go buy a specific mic constantly. However I do feel that the Rode would be a more budgeted mic for someone just starting out. Granted I like to plan for the future so for the types of vids I'll be making Blue Yetti is perfect option and I really appreciate this video Alex! Definitely was a great help, keep doing your thing homie! Peace
A few lip sinking issues when testing the blue yetti
Not to be rude, but are you mixed race white and black? Just curious
I have a rhode nt, and while it doesnt have the features of the Yeti, I think its a slightly crisper sound. Also (totally down to taste) it looks a bit sharper when connected to a shock mount mount and a boom arm with a nice little wind screen.
I personally feel the Blue Yeti and the NT-USB have similar audio quality. It really depends on what you are hoping to do with the mic. Overall good video!
i would say the Blue yeti is the king, its super simple to use (plug and play) and at a good price range and doesnt need a lot of extras
and personally i think that the rode sounds WAY better but i have always wanted the yeti for some reason idk it just looks and feels more professional
The blue yeti is much better in therms of features and build quality, but if u want great quality audio right out of the box. Rode rocks the competition
What would you recommend for two people doing gameplay commentary on a couch? I'm looking into getting a shotgun mic but it does seem a bit more complicated than the USB mics I'm more used to.
Is your camera person prone to fits? HOLD STILL!!
Great Video Alex Going For Blue Yeti !!!!!!!
My favourite is the Blue Snowball man, cheap and cheerful :)
AT2020 XLR all the way
Felt like you could have included the NTG-2 into this. Amazing mic, but great video anyway Alex!
What kind of microphone would you recommend for people with a budget?
Specifically designed for a USB computer.... Mkaay. You also definitely need a pop filter for the Blue Yeti I learned in this video, but it will not be necessary, because I will be buying the Rode NT
why do you have studio backing tracks when you are reviewing outdoor audio quality?
i cannot hear the quality of your studio microphones when you constantly barrage me with studio backing tracks that have better audio quality than your own microphones.
Rode is a bit better for quailty just a little to my ear anyway but the yeti is no push over the modes on the yeti makes it a better mic due to the different amount of modes which means more ability to such other types of work you may have or come across.
I've always been biased towards the Rode NT, though I wonder if that's because of the aesthetics, rather than any particular features it has. The sound quality is quite a bit better though. I once did a Podcast in which the Blue Yeti would've been nice, but I think for a single user it'd work best. Would you say it's also more useful for doing reviews or would you stick with the on camera microphones for that?
This was a great review! Very thorough and easy to follow for someone like me who is brand new to all the tech gear. The background music didn't bother me at all.
Is there a way to use the camera mics with my iphone 6splus - in stereo? I have a converter cable but think that would covert the signal to mono too
FYI i tried the Rode VideoMicMe boom w my phone but was not impressed for $60. I returned it and I'm looking to get a "real" mic now. I also have a camcorder, which I could obviously use the camera mic with
Thanks!
Hi +TechFlow,
Its me again. Sorry for bothering you. I just want to ask you a question. What microphone would you recommend for amateur/beginner CZcamsrs like me?
"If you're not doing it I'll be annoyed", that made me laugh hard, but honestly....why are people so focused on his mouth? lmao
USB isn't the only way to record, you can get an interface and easily record with an xlr mic
People complaining about free content. SMH
Thank you so much for a thorough review. I own the rode nt usb. I wasn't to happy with how extremely sensitive it is though. It's able to pick up sounds from downstairs and through walls. I might be doing something wrong that is causing that but I've read in general it tends to be very sensitive. It makes it kinda annoying though when using a keyboard the clicks are caught in the microphone.
I've been looking into yeti mics recently and seeing how well they work.
For your yeti microphone, did u find that it catches background sounds when you have it turned on the dial for just one direction facing you?
whats wrong with his face? and whats with the really loud music
you can connect the blue yeti to your camera you just need the right cords and it has to plugged in to a computer which is is power force
Hi, thank you for the informative video.. I am going to start a CZcams cooking channel. I need your advice on which mic can I buy? I would want to isolate cooking sounds from dialogue so that dialogue are not lost. Would I need multiple mic? my budget is around $100
when you said 'hi im alex... ' i thought you were going to say 'and today i entered puberty'
Hey, which One is better for this: My brother sits next to me and in my recordings You sometimes hear him. Which mic is better so You can t hear him? (He is 1-2 meters away)
Thanks dude. ive been stuck between the blue yeti and rode for a week or so on which to purchase!
Great video with great demonstrations. Making me want to get the Rode Shotgun. I'm just starting out and recently got to 100 subscribers.
I think that Blue Yeti have a lot more futures than Rode mic but also I think that Rode have cleaner sound.. Love you Alex!!! :)
