Logitech G announced the Yeti 2 USB microphone at its Logitech G PLAY 2026 event on September 24, 2026, held at TUNNEL TOKYO in Tokyo. The microphone adds a feature that tracks the speaker's position in three dimensions and adjusts gain, EQ, and directivity automatically. It also adds AI noise removal that reduces keyboard typing sounds and ambient noise, plus a 1.3-inch color LED display on the side of the body for presets and equalizer information, with support for custom icons. A speed dial below the screen switches presets for situations such as game streaming or podcasts. The Yeti 2 uses a redesigned three-capsule structure, and all audio processing, including the AI noise removal, runs on the microphone itself without G HUB or an internet connection. It comes in white and black, and is scheduled for release on October 15, 2026 at 26,180 yen including tax.
The Yeti 2 carries a redesigned three-capsule array inherited from the earlier Yeti line. In a post-presentation Q and A, a Logitech representative said the capsules detect which direction the speaker's voice comes from and adjust the pickup pattern dynamically. The same session confirmed that all audio processing runs on the microphone, with no need to launch G HUB or connect to the internet.
- Sampling rate: 48kHz
- Bit rate: 24-bit
- Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz
- Sensitivity: -6dBFS at 94dBSPL
- Signal-to-noise ratio: 77dB or higher
- Maximum sound pressure level: 129dBSPL at 10% total harmonic distortion
- Power consumption: 2.5W, 500mA or less
The body display also shows character expressions that indicate status, such as when no voice is input or when the input volume is too high. A live demo at the event adjusted directivity automatically as the speaker moved, and the pickup pattern can also be changed from G HUB.
The Yeti 2 was one of several products shown at Logitech G PLAY 2026 at TUNNEL TOKYO in Osaki, Tokyo, alongside the PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE mouse, the PRO X2 RAPID keyboard, and the G316 X 75. Logitech's Kenji Kasahara called the event "our TGS," pointing to Tokyo Game Show 2026, which had just ended.
