Looks like a crazy good deal. Few notes...

It's available in both silver and black at this price. For the silver there's an additional 5% discount if you choose to subscribe for the purchase ($52.44 instead of $54.99). The risk with this is that it'll ship a few days later for the first subscription vs a straight purchase, and with a deal this good it'll likely go out of stock by the time of your first subscription shipment is dispatched.

Second, when you place the order the email confirmation shows 5 separate "$15.00Off Logitech Yeti USB Mic" entries, for a total of $75 off. That hints the discount may be a mistake. In case it is be sure to remember the first rule of Slickdeals - don't contact the vendor to ask 😀

I almost forgot about this deal. I had ordered one for store pickup. I actually went to staples.com to confirm it got cancelled. To my surprise, it says it is still in 'ready for pickup' status. Wow.

Staples did NOT cancel this order. I'm amazed (and also glad that I saw this today). Evidently, this is the last day to pick it up before they cancel for 'non-pickup'. Thanks again to the OP for this deal. ✓ Reps.

So… mine arrived.

I clicked buy because I was kinda in the market for a mic for video conferencing (my "old" Amazon Basics one still works fine, but I made the mistake of "lending" it to someone to see if it made a difference for them. It did. Huge difference. And now I'm sort of thinking I'll never see it again.)

Suffice to say, Podcastage (among others) rate the AB mic pretty highly but also tend to be less enthused about the Yeti. However, I think that's maybe based on price (not to mention just how "trendy" the Yeti has become among podcasters), because the Yeti sounds FAR better to my ear.

The thing is massive compared to the AB one, but really, that's the only negative I'm seeing. For ≈$55 this is really a big upgrade for me.

Here's the link to the review I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhn0lA6uAn8

and a direct buy link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076ZSR6BB

The Blue Yeti for $34 is an absolute steal - kinda like when I bought the Amazon Basics one for ≈$18...

For some reason. My Amex got charged $85.59 ($79.99 plus 7% florida sales taxes). And credit card shows up as Harman/JBL/AKG/INF*harman international.

My staples order shows $54.99 (58.84 after sales taxes)

So credit card doesn't even show as staples.com

l'm pretty sure you're mistaking that for something completely unrelated. They would never charge you an amount different than what you saw at checkout/receipt, and on my credit card bill it shows up as "STAPLES DIRECT" with the correct discounted price

I had to return this item for a few reasons. The large size and weight limits you to certain boom arms and positioning of the mic. There was a buzzing sound that would show up whenever I would talk. I could not figure out what was causing it and tried different troubleshooting steps as it was intermittent. Reading online about the USB micro port being a point of failure and it doesn't feel secure when you plug it in. The sound quality was very nice and it allows you to use filters if you connect it to the Logitech G Hub software but it didn't really suit my needs specifically for streaming/gaming purposes.
