Logitech G Yeti GX - Dynamic RGB Gaming Microphone

Our analysis

Both this and the Shure MV7+ are dynamic USB-C microphones, and the spec that separates them is the pattern: supercardioid here, a narrower pickup than the Shure's cardioid. The Shure answers with an XLR output and a headphone jack for monitoring, neither of which the Yeti GX has. It is for people who stream or chat from a room that is anything but silent and plan to stay on USB.

What stands out

• Dynamic capsule. A dynamic capsule is less sensitive than a condenser and works close to your mouth, so it picks up less of what sits farther away in the room.
• Supercardioid pattern. A narrow pickup aimed at whatever is in front of it, with the sides rejected more than on a cardioid.
• Smart Audio Lock. Press the gain wheel and, per Logitech, an analog limiter keeps loud moments from clipping while a downward expander lowers background noise.
• USB-C plug-and-play with LIGHTSYNC RGB. One cable to the PC, with lighting you can match to the rest of a Logitech G setup.

Where it falls short

• USB is its only connection: if you ever move to an audio interface, this mic cannot come along.
• The spec sheet lists no zero-latency monitoring, so you cannot hear yourself through the mic the way the QuadCast 2 or the Elgato Wave:3 MK.2 allow through their headphone jack.
• It has a single pickup pattern, built for one voice rather than a table of guests.

Look elsewhere if

• You want a dynamic mic with an XLR output for a future interface: the FIFINE AM8 offers both USB and XLR, plus monitoring through its headphone jack over USB. If your room is quiet and you record with someone beside you, the HyperX QuadCast 2 gives you four polar patterns and zero-latency monitoring.
