I got a Blue Yeti as part of my birthday, and we unbox it here!  Hello awesome sound quality!!
The Blue Yeti is widely used by many YouTubers and is generally considered one of the best microphones for YouTube, so I'm super excited to have finally gotten one!  It's probably my first serious purchase specifically for the channel, too! :)

The Yeti is on the cheaper side as far as most "high-end" mics go, however it's still over $100 in most cases.  However, Blue also produces the Snowball, which is supposed to be fairly comparable in quality, but with less features (no built-in mute, headphone port, pattern, or gain controls).  The Snowball runs around $50 and suits most small YouTubers' needs, so that's also a good option from what I've heard if you're looking for a microphone to start out with.  I liked that the Yeti comes with more features, and since I'm working on my animated series and wanted a mic that would work well for the voice recording for that as well, I ultimately ended up going with the Yeti, but most YouTubers won't need access to all the extra features if they're just starting out.

My old microphone is part of a Turtle Beach headset, and provided a pretty decent sound quality.  However, it definitely doesn't do as well as a more professional mic, so I'm super excited for the upgrade!
