the mic test would be more effective w/o the background music.
I would choose Zoom H1 almost in every situation
zoom h1 is for people that use their microphone, whereas the yeti is for people who say they use a microphone.

You'd say that but KZreadrs like daily dose of internet use the blue yeti, so
The BlueYeti is a microphone, the Zoom H1 is not a microphone. It's a recording unit that just happens to have a microphone inbuilt.

I actually don't know how there could be any kind of confusion xD totally different pieces of equipment for completely different purposes..
You tested the devices with background audio on. We didn't hear the noise level.
The blue yeti is only ok. It's limited to a usb audio format, the built in audio usb soundcard on the blue yeti is not very good whatsoever. You would get much better audio with an XLR mic hooked up to an interface, which has a dedicated soundcard. So for a much better audio setup for the same price, here's what I recommend: Marantz MPM-1000 as a microphone and the Berhinger u-phoria UMC-22 Audio Interface. The setup totals around $85 and produces much better sound quality, and as a cherry on top, it's much more upgradeable. I hope this comment helps you guys looking for good audio on a budget :)

You reccomend this over the zoom? I have a behringer uca202 and also the 302usb, love em both. I have the zoom for other purposes than recording vocals and was borrowing the yeti for vocals.

It is impossible to understand the record quality if you mix music during test! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I honestly love your videos. Very informative and it's just what I'm looking for. Thanks!!! Keep up the good work.
Excellent comparison Paul! It really does come down to what you are planning to do to decide on what mic to get and/or use.
Wow ! your videos are so well put together

Many thanks for an excellent video, Paul. It’s most helpful! I would go for the Zoom because I need the portability and versatility.
Very helpful video. Thank you!
I love your videos they are so good and help me so much. The only thing I would love to know what editing software(s)
Great video Paul!
Thank you for the video, it's great!
The H1 can also be plugged directly in usb just like the yeti (thank to a firmware update)
Great job. I have both of these. I think they're great for their purposes for those not wanting to spend a lot.
Thanks alot for the detailed informative video!

Great review. I just did a review complaining about the sound quality of the K&F Concept shotgun mic. I also have a Blue Yeti but as you say you have to be near the PC for this. Do you know how the Zoom compares with the sound quality of a similarly priced Rode shotgun mic?
Hi, I have the Zoom H1. Can this be used with an iPhone (for video recordings) INSTEAD of a lavalier mic? Or would you recommend using both, a lavalier AND the H1, with the H1 as an interface...( I know the H5 can be used as an interface, but can the H1 do the same thing?) Thanks!
Amazing review! Love the way you produced and filmed it! Those slider shots were great! I have a Blue Yeti, very pleased with it, and I plan to buy the Zoom 1 too. Great to have good sound quality on the go! :)
Great video! Already got the Yeti! Probably get her a friend! Thanks alot!

Did you recorded the audio from Zoom H1N as usb mic, or from the device?
Been having issues with my Yeti, the one I have is the second that I have in two (?) years, it's been cracking/making static noise on and off :( Think my warranty has passed, too. Wondering if you can you use the Zoom H1 as a mic during a Skype call? I don't want to record the call, just want to use it as a USB mic like the Yeti. Does anyone know?
Thank you for the video
I bough the zoom h1 , I love it . It good for traveling and plugging to usb and recording on audacity.

New H1N comes with USB charging slot. (I don't know about older one) Plug in smartphone charger and you'll be able to record an audio with no battery inside
In dire need of one of these for my VO work. Edit 2018- I now have a complete home recording set up. God is great
Can you monitor the audio in real time just like a typical microphone?
I have both. I use the usb mic more, to play online games, talk to friends on skype etc, but Zoom H1 actually has more features. I think it depends on what you're planning to do. If you'll only use on pc i think usb mics are ok. But if you need to record things around, use attached to your dslr, record interviews, capture sound on shows etc. the zoom h1 will be better.

Hi Would zoom 1 be good for City walking videos? for the binaural ambience sound of the city surroundings
You can also run the zoom h1 off usb power provided that there is a battery in it
well would of loved to judge the audio if there wasn't some strange music interfering with said judgement
I use both now. Kind of a strange comparison. The zoom is incredibly versatile, but as a easy to setup excellent sounding condenser for voiceover the Yeti wins.
i am going to start youtube right now.do you think is better to get a zoom h1 instead of get a rode shotgun microphone?

I am not experienced in this (and this comment is a year old) but for the flexibility sake I'd choose the H1 or H1n
you should turn off background sound for those audio samples.

This is like comparing an Audi R8 to a Honda Pilot (if they were in the same price range). Two completely different beasts with very different uses.
Pro tip : Get the Yeti pro and use the xlr port for fantastic audio :D

You should remove the background music when doing the audio tests. Can't really hear the differences, which was what I was actually looking forward to. But thanks anyway.

I thought about getting a Zoom H1 for recording on the go, but I decided to order the Movo WMIC70 Wireless 48-Channel UHF Lavalier Microphone System (yes that was copied and pasted) because I wanted to simply plug in a transmitter into my camera and just have the receiver in my back pocket. I wanted decent audio quality and I also wanted range for doing video without having to stand in front of my camera all close. I did think about getting a roadmic but I didnt wanna have to yell, so I decided the Movo was the best for my budget.. Now I know what you might be thinking, for the price of the Movo I could of gotten the H1 AND blue yeti but i dunno lol...

Btw, I choose H1 if it is the first mic. H1 can also works as USB mic too (did you forget to mebtion that?). A big win to H1 that can covers mostly every scenario
Why not used music for testing? You used only vocal for testing .....
They have different frequencies it sounds like.
I have both, I had the yeti since 2015... and just picked up the H1 for $60 on Amazon. I paired it with the Mic J 044. Pretty good setup for cheaper than a yeti... still prefer it for desk recording.
The Yeti is ONLY A MICROPHONE, the Zoom is a microphone AND a digital audio recorder. They are not directly comparable.

@@JD.......... The Zoom one is made for SFX and it is a device that can be used as a SOUND RECORDER. Similar to the Voice recorder app you probably have on your phone...The Yeti is a MICROPHONE, The H1 is a SOUND RECORDER that happens to have built in microphones but is able to be a host for better ones...
I like the blue yeti more there’s actually modes but he zoom is so confusing the blue yeti is so easy it just plug and play all u have to To is plug the usb cable under the blue yeti and then plug the other plug into a laptop or even a iPad or iPhone if u have a usb female adapter for iPads and iPhones it’s just so much easier which is why I just ordered one from amazon I got the slate color the blue yeti is the besttt
Nice Video! Personally, I prefer the sound quality of the Blue mic but both microphones are great. If I had to choose one it would be the Blue because of aesthetics.
Lol....sandbags ....em, I think he is bias. I have tried both. I now own a Yeti Blackout and do not look back. It is not a tie, the Yeti is far superior imo, as I am stationary.
The zoom has the same or better quality and is portable It's the obvious choice Why limit yourself to a desk mic for the same price

In my opinion the Zoom H1 is good for recording outside but recording with a pc or laptop the Blue Yeti wins
All this camera movements and slides and strifes and whatnot to show devices... which actually make it more difficult to see how the devices really are and in this case what buttons they have. Damn, all videos on KZread look alike (and it’s bad). Plus: testing the audio of the two microphones with the background music on? Not really the best choice, IMHO.
I have a blue yeti!
Nice
They are for different things.. the blue yeti sounds better and should be used for voice overs.. the h1 is for portable recordings
Sound reverby in. Ur. H1 and sound far more sexy on the blue
Of course, there is just no comparison between these two devices. The blue yeti is a USB microphone, and needs to be plugged into a PC, laptop or whatever. On the other hand, the zoom H1 is a recorder first, and can be used as a USB microphone if you like. But primarily it is an out and about in the field recording device, capable of first class recordings, suitable for radio interviews et cetera, and also for other things too. Therefore, you cannot compare these two like for like, there are two totally different devices! That is why, on the blue yeti box it says that it’s a microphone, and on the H1 zoom, on the front it clearly states a recorder! Steve U.K.
I personally prefer the zoom h1.
the Zoom being blue is really confusing when comparing it to a mic of the Blue brand. funny
Zoom H1 is best... I am using It ❤

Jajajaja blue trash yeti has a advantage on recording patters jajaja you are crazy kid, can you conect a shotgun mic, condenser mic, lav mic, or dynamic mic to the blue yeti? No, zoom h1 has a line in blue yeti is a 3 zoom h1 is a 7
