How this score is calculated
Each criterion is the weighted average of its available spec scores (0–10), calculated from official specifications using our Microphones scoring matrix. Empty specs are skipped, not scored as 0. The Expert Score is the weighted average of the scored criteria, shown out of 10; stars = Expert Score ÷ 2 (a 9.4/10 score is 4.7 stars), to one decimal.

Logitech G Yeti GX Review
Logitech G announced the Yeti GX in September 2023, the first dynamic microphone in the Yeti line, which had previously been built around condenser capsules. The Verge covered the launch alongside the Yeti Orb and Litra Beam LX.
Capsule Quality & Fidelity 9.3/10
The dynamic capsule feeds a converter running at up to 24-bit / 96 kHz. Logitech tunes it for speech, with a focused midrange that sits forward in a mix with game audio or music.
Blue VO!CE in G HUB adds EQ, compression and a noise gate for broadcast-style polish.
Without the software, the raw sound is clean but slightly plain. Most users will want at least a light Blue VO!CE preset, particularly for streaming where presence matters.
- Element Dynamic
- Sample Rate Up to 96 kHz
- Bit Depth 24-bit
Interface Versatility & Patterns 7.7/10
Supercardioid pickup is narrower than cardioid, rejecting sound from the sides with a small lobe at the rear. That shape is built for gamers with loud mechanical keyboards.
The trade-off is that you must stay on axis. Turning to a second monitor changes your level, so a boom arm that keeps the mic in front of your mouth helps.
USB-C connects to Windows and macOS, and the mic works as a standard USB audio device with Teams, Zoom and Discord.
There is no XLR output, so it stays a USB microphone. For most callers and streamers that is fine, especially with the built-in processing available through G HUB.
If you prefer an XLR upgrade path, the Shure MV7+ offers both outputs. Logitech’s spec sheet lists the full technical details. For a work laptop where software cannot be installed, the mic still delivers its full dynamic pickup without G HUB.
- Connect USB-C
- XLR No
- Patterns 1
On-Mic Hardware Controls 9.7/10
A control dial on the mic adjusts gain and mutes with a press, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack provides zero-latency monitoring.
Hardware mute is a big plus for meetings, because it works regardless of the app. The lighting changes colour when muted, which helps you check status at a glance during long calls.
Deeper controls, including Blue VO!CE settings and lighting, live in G HUB. That is convenient on a gaming PC but less useful on locked-down work laptops where software installs are restricted.
- Gain Yes (dial)
- Zero Lat. Yes
- Monitor 3.5 mm headphone output
DSP Engine & Software 7.1/10
The Yeti GX 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 monitoring (3.5 mm headphone output), gain control (dial) and a limiter (analog limiter / Smart Audio Lock). Official capture is listed at up to 96 kHz and 24-bit.
- Limiter Yes
Mounting & Shock 10.0/10
Logitech lists the weight at 616 g, and the mic ships with a desk stand. The body is solid metal and plastic, with a rubberised base that resists sliding.
The stand raises the capsule reasonably high, and the mic can be removed for a boom arm. Lighting around the body is customisable, and you can switch it off for a more professional look on calls.
- Stand Desk stand (included)
- Pop Filter Yes (windscreen included)

The Verdict
Buy the Logitech G Yeti GX if you type loudly or share a room and want clear voice without heavy noise suppression.
Skip it if you sit far from the mic. For a mic with both USB and XLR, the Shure MV7+ is the alternative. Our side-by-side comparison lays out the spec differences.
