The two new Logitech G microphones use the well-known « Yeti » name but ditch the Blue Microphones branding.
There are two new Yeti microphones and neither are made by Blue Microphones. The Yeti Orb and Yeti GX will be available later this month, and both are Logitech G products, marking the beginning of the end for Blue.
Blue Microphones was bought out by Logitech back in 2018 for a grand sum of $117 million. Since then, it’s been left relatively untouched by its parent company, occasionally launching the odd special edition Yeti microphone or a compact mic for streamers. That all came to an abrupt end over the summer, however, as Logitech pulled the Blue website, scrubbed the sub-brand from its site, and confirmed that ‘Blue’ will hereafter only refer to Logitech’s audio technologies.
The first hardware to ditch the Blue brand since are new versions of Blue’s most famous product: the Yeti.
The Logitech G Yeti GX is a « premium » gaming microphone (it has RGB lighting) and comes in a pod shape with a built-in desk stand.
