Logitech G Yeti vs Sennheiser Profile USB Comparison

Logitech G Yeti

Logitech lists 16-bit / 48 kHz conversion, a 20 Hz to 20 kHz response and a 120 dB maximum SPL at 0.5% THD. The three 14 mm condenser capsules give the Yeti a bright, detailed character. Voices sound open and airy at about 15 to 20 cm, with more top-end sparkle than a typical dynamic.

Sennheiser Profile USB

The pre-polarised KE 10 condenser capsule captures audio at 24-bit and 48 kHz, with a 16-bit / 44.1 kHz option. Sennheiser tunes it for speech, with a gentle presence lift. Because there is no onboard EQ or compression, the sound you hear is the capsule.

A rear switch selects cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional or stereo. Cardioid is the mode for meetings, while bidirectional suits two people sitting across a table. Omni picks up a whole circle of speakers, which is handy for an impromptu group call around one laptop. Stereo adds width for music or ambient recordings but adds little to speech.

Sennheiser Profile USB

The cardioid pattern rejects sound from behind, but as a condenser it is more sensitive than a dynamic mic to the room around you. Position the mic so noise sources sit behind it, and keep it around 15 to 25 cm from your mouth. A dynamic mic such as the Shure MV7+ is better for loud spaces.

On the front sit a mute button with a status light and a headphone volume dial. A gain dial on the rear sets sensitivity, and the 3.5 mm jack provides latency-free monitoring. A physical mute that works in any app is valuable in meetings. The light flashes red when muted, so a quick glance confirms whether your colleagues can hear you.

Sennheiser Profile USB

The front panel has a gain knob with a peak indicator ring, a mix knob for monitoring, headphone volume and a mute button. A 3.5 mm headphone jack sits at the back. The peak ring glows red if you speak too loudly, which makes setting gain easy before a call.

The Yeti uses Logitech G HUB for its companion software. Onboard DSP is listed as Blue VO!CE (via G HUB). The software or onboard controls also include EQ or presets (EQ in G HUB / Blue VO!CE), monitoring (3.5 mm headphone output), gain control (rear dial) and a limiter (Blue VO!CE limiter in G HUB).

The mic alone weighs 550 g, and the metal desk stand adds about 1 kg. An internal shock mount isolates the capsule array from small knocks and desk vibration. The side-address design means you speak into the front, not the top. You can remove the stand and mount it on a boom arm, though its weight calls for a solid arm rather than a light clamp-on model.

Sennheiser Profile USB

The microphone weighs 350 g and sits on a weighted desk stand with a tilting head. A thread under the body allows boom arm mounting. The tilting head makes it easy to aim the capsule at your mouth without moving the stand. The stand itself is heavy enough to resist knocks and keyboard vibration better than most tripods.
