GoKawiilLogitech G launches Blue Yeti 2 microphone with auto-adjusting proximity sensor at $159.99
Logitech G has released the Yeti 2, successor to the original Blue Yeti USB microphone launched in 2009, priced at $159.99 in black or white. The mic features a built-in proximity sensor that tracks a speaker's position in 3D and automatically adjusts gain, EQ and pickup pattern, along with an interactive LED display and AI de-noising.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The automatic adjustment could make the microphone more accessible to beginners who previously had to manually tune settings, and may also correct a common user error where people spoke into the wrong part of the original Yeti. Priced well below Shure's MV7 series, the launch suggests Logitech is aiming to compete aggressively in the creator and podcasting microphone market while leaning on nostalgia for the Blue brand it retired in 2023.
- Blue Yeti 2 costs $159.99, just $10 more than the original's 2009 launch price
- New proximity sensor auto-adjusts gain, EQ, and pickup pattern based on speaker distance
