Boost Your Streams with the $ 95 Blue Yeti X Microphone

If you want a USB microphone for more than just streaming, Best Buy is the place to be today. The online retailer is selling the Blue Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition for $ 95. That’s around $ 45 cheaper than what you’ll play elsewhere.

We took a look at Yeti X as part of our roundup of the best USB microphones for streaming. We consider it an ideal microphone for multipurpose setups beyond streaming. In terms of audio performance, we found it to be similar to the Elgato Wave: 3, which was our first pick for the best USB microphones.

The Yeti X has multiple polar patterns including cardioid, omni, bi-directional, and stereo. A polar pattern is the number of different angles from which a microphone can pick up sound. This variety makes it a good option for capturing multiple people in a podcast.

The Yeti X has a 24-bit / 48KHz output and the build quality is truly top-notch. It is also a sight to behold, as it will take up a fair amount of space within your field of vision.

If you are a fan of World of Warcraft, you will love these features. Not only does the microphone come with some WoW-specific layouts, it also includes presets to make your voice sound like some of the characters in the game. That’s a lot of fun, right?

The Yeti X often sells for $ 170, so getting it for just $ 95 is a real bargain, especially if you’re looking to improve the audio quality of your setup.
