Yeti USB Microphone
Saturday, April 13, 2013
Use this: to record your weekly podcast about the sound quality of various podcast mics. You can call it “Meta Mic.”
Don’t use this: to create a facsimile of David Letterman’s set in your basement. CBS is not going to give you that contract.
You win at this product by: having it drop from a cord on the ceiling right before your roommates start fighting, so you can let them get ready to rumble.
This just posted on Facebook: “That feeling when you convert from analog to digital without any loss to sound fidelity.”
If this were a sports broadcaster, it would say: “It feels like I’m talking to myself here.”
