tyler555The Blue Yeti and Blue Yeti Pro will give you a looot more versatility. Being able to switch between cardiod, omni, bi and stereo is more useful than you think. I own the Pro and the XLR output opens up your use scenarios a lot.
ronCYATrue, but especially at this price point this is clearly a lower budget mic and lots of people don't need all of those. I don't know, I might sit and wait to see if anything else crops up.
tyler555According to WireCutter (http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-usb-microphone/):
"[The MXL Tempo]’s inexpensive ($66), and it has a headphone jack, but no gain control. Our panel didn’t love the sound, finding it “flat.” We think the features and better sound quality are worth the extra $34 for our top choice (the Blue Yeti)."
Well there you go!
