Logitech's G Hub software provides numerous audio presets and customization options, including manual adjustments for equalizer levels and noise cancellation, which can be saved to on-board profiles.
The audio quality sees a notable improvement, boasting crisper and clearer sound thanks to 24-bit audio and software noise cancellation.

The Yeti 2 is available now for $159.99 / £139.99 / $249.95 AUD, a price increase from the original, but offers considerable value for its enhanced performance and features.
