They compliment each other very well

built-in speakers are tiny
and poor quality
The voices were the tiniest bit unnatural

only USB-C ports
comparatively poor sound quality
the battery is not removable

the recorder is not voice activated
yeti is not portable and it was gathering dust in a box

it had a little bit of battery power out of the box
it also feels a little fragile due to its small size
hard-to-reach USB ports
