Amazon is offering the Blue Yeti Nano USB Microphone from $70 shipped. Regularly $100 with the blue and shadow grey variants sitting at closer to $90 as of late, you’re looking at up to 30% in savings and the best we can find. While we have seen fleeting offers for less at other retailers, today’s deals are matching the Amazon all-time low on what is still the most attractive and value-packed mid-tier model in the lineup if you ask me. The Yeti Nano delivers a far more feature-rich experience than the more affordable $40 Snowball iCE models (although this is still a solid mic in its price range) with a pair of custom mic capsules and multiple pickup patterns to support vocal broadcasting/streaming, at-home music recording (vocals, guitars, and more), and podcasting setups. No-latency monitoring comes via the onboard headphone jack alongside volume control, a built-in desktop stand and the USB cable you’ll need to connect it to your Mac, PC, or other recording hardware. More details below.
As we mentioned above, if a more casual entry-level USB microphone will do the trick for your needs, the Snowball iCE models are worth a look. They bring an equally retro-modern aesthetic to the desktop with an included mini tripod and compatibility with almost any recording rig right out of the box. Not to mention coming in $30 less than the Nano above.
