I bought the silver Blue Yeti microphone.
It is very big than what I thought by looking at the pictures/videos.
However, it's very easy to setup and that's what I am looking for.

As for sound quality, compared to other cardioid mics such as AKG, Sennheiser etc..., sound is not as full.
Blue Yeti also has cardioid mode and it sounds much better than other modes.
Other modes sound tinny, more highs and mids than lows.

Even the one directional mode (cardioid) doesn't sound as smooth and full as other XLR mics through my USB mixer.

However, it's good enough for quick recording so I'll keep it. Also, it captures acoustic guitar without having to point it towards the guitar.
I can sing on the mic and it picks up the guitar at pretty much same volume so great for recording practice.

For better recording or for pros, definitely multiple XLR mics through a mixer/interface is the way to go for better/fuller/smoother sound instead of Blue Yeti.
