Blue Yeti Pro (2011) vs RØDE - VideoMic ME-L

The Blue Yeti Pro 1967 (2011) is a great Microphone for its $224 asking price.

The RØDE - VideoMic ME-L, however, while a reasonable product for $59, doesn't stack up against its competitors quite as well. If you're considering Microphones in the $40 range, you might want to check out some better options.

The Blue Yeti Pro 1967 (2011) managed to impress reviewers from two reliable and unbiased sources that conduct their own hands-on testing, namely reviewgeek.com and Gear Patrol. It performed great in their roundups - it earned the "Best Ultra-Premium" title from reviewgeek.com and "Ranked 1 out of 6" from Gear Patrol, which makes it a product worthy of consideration.

Taking a look at the RØDE - VideoMic ME-L, we found that it hasn't managed to perform well enough to earn a spot in any Microphone roundups done by sources that conduct their own, high-quality, hands-on testing. That alone makes it difficult to recommend.
