  • NegativeBreath and pop sounds audible
  • NegativeNo pop screen included

The Yeti X delivered the best voice quality in the test. Voices sounded natural and dynamic. Breath and pop noises are audible, but do not interfere with the recording. The operation of the device is really good. All important settings can be made with a single control on the front, while a switch on the back allows you to choose from three directional characteristics.
