Specially designed to fit the Blue Yeti and Yeti Pro!Compatible with most mic models on the market, up to 2.5 inches in diameterExtremely easy to get on your Yeti!Perfect for protecting your mic from saliva and moisture damagesHigh quality foam, so you can filter out all unwanted background noises.
Got this for $46.40 through staples with their 110% price guarantee. Went on Amazon and picked up a pop filter for it too because the mic can be really sensitive even with the gain turned all the way down. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017PH9682/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 snagged this pop filter and all my friends said the quality sounds a lot better with a filter.
I have purchased 3 different style pop filters for my Blue Yeti over the course of the last year. I found that all three provided the same level of noise filtration, but two of them proved to be rather clumsy and annoying to use: the one you linked, and this semi-circular multi-layer foam one.
The one I recommend most is actually one of the spherical foam pop filter covers that nestles right over the top of the Blue Yeti. It also it omni-directional so you can use your pop filter in all of the Yeti's modes.

Firstly, the mouse pad really makes this look old, despite the decent peripherals. QcK+ is currently on sale and is a GREAT pad
Second, that sock..... You can get a decent foam pop filter for a few bucks on amazon.
Finally, I would put your PC under the desk, and zip tie up he cables. It’s really taking up a lot of room. The only time I think keeping the PC on the table is excusable is when the internals are really nice and viewable. That’s just my opinion, though.
hi there!
i wanna start off by saying i had not idea what subreddit this was when i read the comments.
Just saw the keywords about the yeti and sound issues and dug deeper.
It could have been from r/youtube or r/twitch for all i knew.
I listened to you clip and it game me asmr tingles!
haha. it was after that i decided to see what sub i was in.
so as an asmr fan, you might just be being critical of yourself.
I've seen a lot of users here and on youtube say they prefer a more natural sound with the room tone included vs the unnatural silence between words.
that being said, i too have a yeti and could possibly offer some insight. chances are you've read or hear this eles where too.
the yeti is stupid sensitive.
when i first got it, i had my headphones and and was listening to things with the gain all way up.
i could hear my girlfriend come home, and put he keys into the door like the thing was on a megaphone.
so having your gain to about halfway is good. i keep mine there where i stream on twitch. if i put it all the way up, youll hear cars drive by and thats too much for me in that instance.
if you do wanna go for the more quite feel, on thing you can try is the "noise reduction" effect in audacity. (your post mentioend a "white noise reduction", but im not sure thats what youre talking about
i use that effect often, and haven't had issues.
so if we are talking about the same effect, you'll have to let me know your process.
on thing you can do with audacity (and other software like OBS studio) is setup a noise gate. this basically means if the sounds aren't within a certain db threshold, it wont come through.
tutorial here.
how you have your yeti placed can make a difference too.
so for example, if it's just sitting on your desk, it might pick up more noise from you interacting with things on the desk (of the desk itself) as opposed to the yeti being attached to one of those mic arms. a wind screen and pop filter could help too.
You might need an adapter to get the yeti to attach the yeti to the arm, so do your homework.
last thing I can think of is your space.
this guy has a good video about making your space nice for cheap.
noise panels help too if youre trying to spend some cash.
hopefully this helps.
I got this during an amazon prime sale a while back and use it for gaming, streaming and talking to friends. FYI Just going to warn you, this mic is pretty big. I use a swivel arm mount to keep it above my monitor and to minimize desk space. Also USE HEADPHONES or this may pickup your speaker noise (Depending on distance and gain settings)
 
I would suggest anyone interested in a swivel mount mic stand to go for the PSA1 Mic Arm , it is a bit more expensive when put in comparison to a NEEWER Brand. But it is solid as hell and will fit your mic perfectly. Also you will NOT need a shock mount with the PSA1, it has a foam pad that seems to cancel out my restless legs hitting my desk and my frequent desk raging.
 
I tried a NEEWER at first, however it could not hold my mic up and dropped it a few times.
 
I also have a Foam Wind Screen for it and it nullifies any sharp "P" "F" or "B" noises.
 
I like it alot and it has been serving me well. Your voice will be clear as crystal with this.
you can get like a foam windscreen or something similar from Amazon rather cheaply that will take out alot of the screeching noise from when you get to loud http://amzn.to/2drBTGe I rage alot myself. I found it helpful
Foam Windscreen for Blue Yeti - Can Also Cover Other Large Microphones such as MXL, Audio Technica and more - Made from a Quality Sponge Material to Act as a Pop Filter for your Mic (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017PH9682/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_z9yxCb77P29FQ
It is in Cardiod mode. I have the front of the mic facing downwards towards my face where my voice is coming from.
I am picky and that's why it sucks because i know it could be so much better if I could get a set up where the mic is closer to my mouth.
I did set up the suppression in OBS, and also the noise gate. Problem being that with the noise gate my voice doesn't always get recognized right away and I don't know how to tinker with the dB. I don't completely understand it right now. Its all a learning process.
With the gain.. I feel like I NEED this due to how far the mic is, and once I added it I was able to hear myself on my recording. Before I had it I was very low when streaming and no one watching said anything lol.. I would love to use the mic without this, but need to figure out some different setup from what I have.
I have set my Yeti sound to 70%.. Haven't touched the OBS mic mixer though. The Yeti gain is just below half as well for me. It will all change tonight when I set up the XLR.
In regards to the hard surfaces, I was thinking about getting some foam to put on the walls around where my desk is. Not sure how much justice it would do.
I have the suspension arm + shock mount but got rid of the pop filter as it just gets in the way. I have ordered this to hopefully work like a pop filter.
Thanks again for the feedback man!!
Here you go
Wow, thank you so much for the quick reply, Griseus! Your uploads are superb!
> There are ways to solve that though.
Are you rocking this foam windscreen as a solution? It seems to be doing a great job all by itself, from what I can see in your videos. Do you also use a traditional pop filter like this one for an extra layer of filtering or would that be redundant in this case?
> I suggest you put the pc or laptop as far as you can from the mic
Would buying an extension cord of sorts remedy this issue? Or could that introduce mild to moderate distortion?
On a related note, do you use a sound card or preamp for your recordings? Those cost a pretty penny and might just push me into sticking with the best bang for my buck, the Blue Yeti, while I spend the remaining funds on an audio interface if that helps a ton.
Thanks again for your input, and I, too, am psyched to get this project started asap!
I bought this
Does it do the same effect? Since this one just slides on.
