It seems to me that almost no one starts podcasting or streaming Twitch or YouTube Gaming during the shutdown. These hobbies are easy to start, but it's equally easy to spend a fortune on the tools needed to get started. So, given that you may not be the next Shroud, it's worth tackling on a budget. If you're looking for a new mic this Cyber Monday, it's worth checking out Blue Microphones' punchy little performer.

The Yeti Nano mic is a great starter mic for streamers and podcasters looking to take their first steps into content creation, or if you want your teammates on Discord to hear your comms loud and clear. for quick and easy setup. It's also compact so it won't get in the way on your desk, and it can be easily transported when used with a laptop.

One of the best things about the Blue Microphones line is that it comes with its own high-quality stand. If you are just starting out, this can save you a bit of extra expense by eliminating the need to purchase a boom arm. That said, the Yeti Nano has standard threaded threads that allow you to attach it to a Radius III shock mount or boom arm if you prefer.

The Yeti Nano's headphone output promises zero latency, so you can plug your headphones straight into your game and not have to worry about audio delay. It also supports both uni-directional and omnidirectional pickup patterns; for clear and crisp Twitch broadcasts, we recommend using uni-directional. However, if you are doing a roundtable discussion about the WoW Shadowlands on a podcast, switch to Omni to capture the entire group.

We rate the Yeti Nano as one of the best microphones for streaming, gaming, and podcasting. Its price is less than the Cyber Monday specials on Amazon and Newegg. This mic offers great sound quality for its small form factor at a competitive price. Even if you only use it for chatting, you'll be able to let your buddies hear the best version of your dull tone." Jimmy, why are you throwing it?"
