General
Blue Yeti Nano on sale at the lowest price of $80.

The Blue Yeti has been one of the most recognizable microphones in recent years, gaining popularity for everything from podcasting to Twitch streaming, and Blue released a smaller version in 2018 for a slightly reduced price, which you can get now for just $79.99 This is $20 less than the regular price. This is $20 less than the regular price and likely the lowest recorded price to date.

The Blue Yeti Nano is a smaller version of the regular Yeti, with a 24-bit bit depth, 48 kHz sample rate, and a single USB connector for connection to a PC. The microphone also has a headphone jack so that the input sound (and sound from the PC) can be monitored without latency. No special drivers or software are required, but gain levels and other options can be adjusted using the optional Blue Sherpa desktop app.

Two pickup patterns are available: unidirectional (to block out background noise for recording/streaming) and omnidirectional (ideal for conference calls/live group recording). The larger Yeti has two additional recording modes, but these two will cover almost any use case.

This is still a condenser mic, so it's best used on a tabletop where it won't vibrate or bump; Blue sells its own for $99.99, but there are plenty of third-party options as well.
