Great USB microphone for my needs, However GHub not so great!
By FON on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2023
I bought this USB Yeti X specifically to be used in my Music Production Studio, in particular for my Arturia Vocoder V and Ableton Live. I think it’s a great sounding microphone and the interface with headphones and Microphone levels is well thought out. I use it on a Boom Arm instead of the supplied desk stand. The only issue I’ve had is not with the microphone but with the “Buggy” GHub Application. It would not install on my MacBook Pro M1 Chip but it did on my older iMac with a Intel Chip. After going back and forth with Logictec support here was how I had to install it in my MacBook Pro “I would like to confirm if your Mac Book PRO has an M1 or Intel Chip. If your Mac Book PRO has an M1 chip. Please kindly try the troubleshooting steps below. Drag "Logitech g hub installer" into the default application folder in terminal: sudo /Applications/lghub_installer.app/Contents/MacOS/lghub_installer ; exit; hit enter and enter your password. It'll download and install. It'll look like it gets stuck at 99.894669, but give it a minute and it ill prompt you to finish and relaunch.” So I had to use Terminal on my MacBook Pro to finally get it to install. Now here is the other issue, some of the features in GHub work fine, like changing the Polarity or selecting the different Blue Voice Presets but the feature to Record your voice in order to reference how you sound does not work properly. I can get it to record my Voice ONCE, then it will not do it again. The only way is to quit GHub, launch it again and try to record again. But same issue I can only record my voice sample 1 time. It won’t let me try to record a different voice sample after that Also none of the Ambient Sounds or Expressions in GHub play either. Logictec has been notified of the issue but has yet to resolve it. BTW, it is the same issue on my iMac so it’s not the computer. In any event I still think it’s a great microphone, nice quality, good sounding, easy USB Interface and the price was right. I hope the GHub issue gets resolved but it’s not stopping my workflow. UPDATE 4.14.2023 After several emails with Matt at Tech Support is was determined there was a problem and an Update to GHub would be done. Yesterday I received notification that the Update Version was available. I downloaded the Update and GHub is now working perfectly. One note, for some reason when I launched it my recorded voice sounded like an Alien. Anyway Matt mentioned to check the Effects settings and sure enough the an Effect was turned on. Once I set the Effects to off everything is working as it should. By the way if you record your voice for a long enough time (like 45 seconds or so) you can play it back and switch between hearing all of the Preset Mic Sounds and the Effects without having to re record or stop and start again. I have to say as much as the troubleshooting was annoying at times Matt and the Logitech Support Team did a great job.

Good sound, good size. But won't connect to customization software on my Surface CoPilot PC.

Good sound and easy size for a desktop. However, refuses to connect to G-Suite software on my Surface Pro (non-Intel processor), so no way to customize the settings. Customer support was no help since I could not get them off their script.
