What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Blue Yeti Nano Premium USB Mic for Recording and Streaming - Vivid Blue

Good quality without the extra weight.
Absolutely loves it. I chose it because of its multiple pattern settings, small size (lightweight and easy to pack), quality, and plug & play simplicity.
Blue's Yeti Nano is a very portable down-sized version of the Yeti that defines quality sound with plug-and-play simplicity.
Great microphone, it is the perfect size and I am happy I did not go with the regular size blue yeti. Easy setup, plug and play!
Doesn't have gain control as well as more type of settings as regular yeti.
