My microphone did not come with a foam piece. Does the foam piece on the mic even make a difference in the recording/sound quality? Thanks!

I do not know if it does. Mine had a foam piece however I had to return it because it did not provide good quality for google hangout broadcasting.

Theoretically yes, the foam piece is intended to reduce the pickup of background noise and the "boom" effect of certain speech sounds such as Ps and Ts. You could use it without it, but I'd recommend having it.

It makes a minimal difference with hard 'p' and 's' sounds. The included one is pretty low quality. If you want the benefit they offer, you can pick up some aftermarket Tetra-Teknica MNWS5P Mini-size Lapel Microphone Windscreen, Color Black, 5-Pack

It comes with the microphone, a foam cover and the mic "holder" that would attach to a stand (not included). Something to keep in mind (and ended up stinging me) is that the mic "holder" has a female connector, so if your mic stand also has a female connector (like mine does), you'll need to get the appropriately sized male-male converter. You can order them for pretty cheap on Amazon!

It came with the foam and I didn't see a way to order it without the foam. You could buy different foam and use it. The foam that came with was a little softer than what I was wanting but it still worked well.

The mic comes with a shock mount and foam filter. Its a very good mic and probably the best in the price range

Yes, I just noticed it when I read your question. I think a quick and easy solution is to mark the small dot with a marker pen and take the case off and drill a small hole to fix the problem if it effects the sound. Have not used the mic for anything but a test on skype and did not seem to effect the test.

Dont know if this is the problem but I had a lot of cracking noise and the cord on my old one was damaged. OR if you have feedback of your own voice (kind of an echo) could your recorder also be recording from its mic?

Btw... On mine the menu option to turn audio on/off didn't get rid of the voice. I assumed it turned of the mic for recording audio. Maybe mines gotta bug... I donno. Or maybe I'm just an idiot ;)

The pop filter is sufficient enough. The foam mostly protects from dirt/debris/condensation. So depending on the environment you will use the Yeti in will determine whether you need the foam over the microphone.

I personally have done neither but for the most part my friends have commended the quality of the mic and it does not pick up to much background noise.

Its not noise cancelling the way you think, there is just layers of filters that will filter out background noise. Like the foam piece around most microphones except even better. The mic is the highest quality you can buy on a headset and you wont need to worry about that at all.

Mines did the samething you would have to bare it, but the mic is still good. Maybe the mic is not fully compatable with the computer.

yes. it sounds like your mic is built into the mirror. you can always buy another mic and clip it somewhere

I actually have not noticed a "lag" when using the mic as a listening device. One reason may be that I am using the headphone line-in on the mic and do not hear except through them. This is the only way to get a "clean" recording. Otherwise, the mic will pick up the ambient sound from your external speakers. However, there doesn't seem to be anything noticeable in the recordings.

Microphone not included, and no, I dont recommend that microphone model. I recommend you get a more expensive one, since it would be made with better material and quality

If someone could help with a solution, would be awesome.. when i plug the mic on my H4N using the XLR cable, it gives a lot of noise for me too, but when i use it with USB on my pc, it's perfect.

Yes the recording quality difference is very noticeable. Also, it protects your microphone from moisture damage.

To add onto the other comment -- Yes, but this product is very cheaply made (picks up a lot of noise/static). Also, I had a bad experience with this particular seller. I suggest investing in a preamp (which provides power for your mic) to get the most out of your microphone. Especially a MXL. That's what I ended up doing and it was the best move.
