Not USB-C Port
Blue Yeti released a premium product in 2019 with an ancient, ugly, inconvenient micro-usb port. Why not USB-C?! Many cheap condenser microphones are already using usb-c now. As someone who changes his set up a lot, I have to always carry an extra micro-usb cable when I have one high-quality usb-c cable that works with my laptop, tablet, phone, headphones, wireless mouse and even desk lamp.
Every time I do my set-up in the dark I have to make sure I plug the micro-usb cable in the right way as it is not reversible. Blue, please modify this product and release it with USB-C!!!!
Edit: Since I wrote this review, I have found quite a good number of microphones with USB-C: [As to mic recording quality, do your own research before purchase.]
1. AKG Lyra C44-USB, with all the features of Blue Yeti and arguably better sound quality.
2. Beyerdynamic Fox USB Condenser mic.
3. Elgato Wave:3
4. Rode NT-USB Mini
5. Comica STM-USB Versatile Cardioid Condenser Microphone
6. JLab Audio Talk Pro
7. Thronmax Mdrill One Pro
