The Mic is great. Amazing sound quality. However, the headphones that come with it are no where near as nice as the picture. They are cheap and flimsy, don't get the package.Just received my Yeti. Absolutely nothing on it, or in the instructions indicate anything about it being THX certified. In fact it doesn't even have the label as in the picture. Until I get a chance to drill a hole in the base I will either have to duct tap the Pop filter onto the mic or not use it since it wont clamp anywhere onto the mic base despite it being from Blue as is the mic. The headphones are wimpy but then they aren't why I was getting the package. The sound seems find though it is cumbersome to unplug the mic to hear what the recordings sound like from the computer. So in short I am a bit disappointed in what arrived compared to what was promised. I guess you can chalk it up to caveat emptor.My order was shipped without the POP filter and I have been waiting for just about 2 extra weeks now for my POP filter to arrive since they said it was "backordered". In my opinion, DON'T SELL SOMETHING IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE COMPLETE PACKAGE IN STOCK!! The headphones and earbuds look NOTHING like what is pictured! I understand COBY is not the best brand but if you are going to include it, at least make sure it is better than a $7 Newegg item!! The headphones and earbuds pictured are the CV215, NOT the ones you get! Either way, they are junk!Really awesome Mic, I just got it, and the stereo head phones really work nicely, and so does the filter, freakin awesome!!!. The Mic has an INCREDIBLE sound!!!, satisfies all my recording needs, I'm amazed......there is no way you'll be able to beat the sound on this mic, bundle, anywhere else, I'm serious, buy this Bundle!!, and also, the mic feels sturdy, heavy, quality and everything is just exactly what I wanted!!!
What I received instead of the Blue Microphones pop filter was an entirely different brand filter (one which is much cheaper and has a large black round filter with a base that attaches to the pole of a mic/light stand or boom arm. It works just fine so I won't bother returning it, but buyer beware you may not receive the products advertised.
I did receive the Yeti microphone as advertised and the headphone set (not that I'll ever use that cheap headphone set it will likely collect dust for a while before finally finding a home in the trash).
As for the microphone itself: GREAT! It produces great sound (I use it for voice) and I can record directly into iMovie or Final Cut Pro X, or I can record in Garage Band using audio effects, save and then import the audio file into iMovie or Final Cut. It required no setup, just plug and play. You can turn the mic on/off using the big mute button right on the front. There is also volume control knob just below the mute button. It has an extra long cord which could be useful for those who don't sit right in front of the computer to record.
All in all, I would purchase this product package again, but if you really want the pop filter from Blue Microphones and not some other brand, be aware that you may have to deal with amazon returns to get the correct filter. I deducted 2 points for receiving the incorrect (cheaper) filter.
