The depth and tone isn't quite as good as some single-use broadcast mics, and the 24-bit audio recording and choice of four pattern settings is overkill for most podcasters and YouTubers (most users won't ever switch from cardoid), but those serious about recording at the highest quality can't do much better than the Yeti Pro. With an arsenal of features and flexibility not seen before in any USB microphone, the Yeti Pro is fantastic. For users not needing the analogue XLR connectivity and super-sensitive recording resolutions, the original Yeti will more than suffice.
