  "account": "The Logitech Yeti 2 is a highly praised microphone that builds upon the legacy of Blue's original Yeti, which has been a fan favorite since its 2007 launch. After being acquired by Logitech in 2018, the Yeti 2 is now available, offering improved features and audio quality.\n\nAt first glance, the Yeti 2 appears to be slightly more compact than its predecessor, yet it retains the iconic Yeti design. However, the most striking difference is its weight – at 995g (2.19lbs), the Yeti 2 is nearly 50% lighter than the 1.4kg (3.09lbs) Yeti.\n\nOne of the most notable features of the Yeti 2 is its built-in LED display, which sits above a singular dial that replaces the older volume, mute, gain, and polar pattern controls. This display allows users to change settings and monitor audio levels without needing Logitech's G Hub app. Although the push-in dial can be finicky at times, it is still useful for quick adjustments.\n\nThe Yeti 2 also offers a wide range of audio presets, including settings for interviews, singing, speech-to-text, various instruments, and more. Users can manually adjust equalizer levels, enable the gate and compressor, and save their settings to the app or one of five on-board profiles. The app can also automatically activate specific profiles when certain games launch.\n\nIn terms of audio quality, the Yeti 2 is a major improvement over the original. It offers crisper and clearer sound, thanks to the upgrade from 16-bit to 24-bit audio and the addition of software noise cancellation. The mic's Auto Tracking polar pattern automatically adjusts the pickup area based on the direction of sound, optimizing the input wherever the user is positioned. This feature, combined with the ability to manually set polar patterns, ensures that the Yeti 2 delivers top-notch audio quality.\n\nBuild quality is another strong point of the Yeti 2. The main body is made of metal, giving it a solid and durable feel. The included metal stand has a soft padded base to prevent slipping, and rubberized lugs minimize bumps and shakes during recording. The display can also be flipped 180 degrees, making it easier to read when mounted on a boom arm.\n\nWhile the Yeti 2 has a few minor limitations, such as the potentially unreliable push-in dial and an increased price, its audio quality and ease of use make it an excellent choice for consumers. Priced at $159.99 / £139.99 / $249.95 AUD, the Yeti 2 offers great value for its features and performance.",
  "summary": "The Logitech Yeti 2 has improved on its predecessor in almost every way, although the higher price is an unwelcome change.",
