I grabbed this as I was in a dire need of an upgrade in the microphone department; for my Youtube tutorials, gaming, and other areas. I was previously using a Samson GoMic USB Condenser.I know/knew that the Blue Yeti had been around for more than a decade at this point, but I also had to assume that there'd been enough time for a competitor to be born. After doing some digging, and watching Youtube videos--I came across this.I can say that I'm not disappointment. It offers crystal clear and reasonably balanced sound. I really am stoked and looking forward to playing more with the Stereo option. It's an all metal-build which makes it feel incredibly sturdy, and as much as I hate to the use the buzzword--"premium".I will say that the marketing material isn't clear, but what I received does use a USB-C port on the mic itself, and you do get a USB-C to USB-A cable in the box. The cable feels equally good quality, and as a good length. But I ended up using a USB-C to USB-C cable that I had laying around, it works/records just fine.The stand that it comes with itself is sturdy enough, but I feel also too low. So what you see in the photo is a third-party stand, with a third-party windshield. The mount is something I designed and 3D printed, and will be make free as well as easy to find.This is, probably, the optimal mic position, especially for stereo recording. Which the LED light to indicate of you're "hot" or muted, should be facing you. The knob for volume, and selector switch for the patterns are actually facing away from you.

Fantastic sound quality. Very reasonable price and very sturdy. It’s a good piece of kit. The only thing I really don’t like is that it is a usb connection which after time can come loose (although mine hasn’t at the moment and hope it doesn’t!). I’d much prefer if it connected via a jack. However, I’m very pleased with the quality of the mic and sound. I would buy again and I highly recommend.
