When I was recording with my blue yeti in my living room, I would put it on my couch flanked by 2 big pillows and would record sitting on the floor. Not the best for long session but the couch would absorb a bunch of vibrations. Probably not enough to avoid picking up no cracking though

What do you use it with if not with headphone jack nor Bluetooth?

The body is what bugs me: I got it for an old-school feel but I found it way too light. And yeah, the buttons are not at all intuitive. I’m overall disappointed

To be fair, that’s not their place to get outraged. They should report all facts like the weather and leave the opinion up to their readers.
