It shouldn’t be a surprise that these online personalities strive for quality voice recording since they are producing content for large audiences. Blue Microphones debut E3 appearance however comes a bit unexpected given how quiet they’ve been on the gamer front. Still, it’s always good to see more hardware appear on the showfloor amidst all the software buzz. They came to the event with their recently released Mo-Fi headphones, $349.99 enthusiast headphones with built-in battery powered amplifiers and the $129.99 Blackout Yeti, the Yeti USB microphone in a new black finish.
