Before buying the Yeti Nano, you need to consider your budget and what your needs are. If you simply wish to use the microphone just for chatting, the budget entry Snowball ice would be a better option. If you're torn between the regular snowball and the yeti nano, personally, I would go with the latter since it's a regular Yeti but in smaller form to fit limited desk space. However, the nano offers two polar patterns but the cardioid mode is the only thing you need. If you just started streaming, this mic will do well in recording crystal clear voice but be aware that this mic is too sensitive in picking up background noise. If you are a serious streamer with more money to spend, look elsewhere and consider xlr microphones paired with a good audio interface.
