So-so recording quality
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In recording quality, I don't see any difference between this one and my MacBook Pro's internal mic. I don't know if this product is not good enough, or MacBook is so good. I would rather buy a Shure than this one.

Posted .Hello Jong. Thank you for taking the time to write your review of the Blue Snowball iCE microphone. I'm sorry to hear that you're not satisfied with the audio quality of the microphone. A couple things I would suggest to get the best possible audio from the Snowball iCE: Try not to plug the microphone into a USB hub. If you are, try to go straight into a USB-C adapter straight into the computer. The Snowball is also not a very "hot" mic... meaning its not going to pick up a ton of noise, so you will need to keep it about 6-12 inches from your mouth while speaking. This helps cut down on a ton of background noise. Also, be sure to speak directly into the Blue Logo, as that is where the mic capsule is. Hopefully these tips have helped. If you need more assistance, please visit our support site: support.logi.com

Absolutely useless. The mic on your phone is bette
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my original yeti mic--That mic I'd better than mics that sell for three times as much. So I was excited about the smaller and even cheaper version. Unfortunately, I received this blue snowball instead of the mini blu mic pictured and described on the site. It's still blu so I thought it would be a fun little toy but it's completely useless. This mic sounds so much worse than the internal mic on any laptop or smartphone. Completely useless.

Great product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product. Is very simple to set up and sounds great. seems to be durable for being plastic threading. The one downside i can see is I have a older desk and when i tap any part of it it makes a small creak, but when the mic is on the desk it is load as can be, so the legs do not do much for insulation. But other than that, it is a great product and i would recommend people to buy it.

Nice microphone & build quailty.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this SnowBall Ice microphone at a near by Bestbuy store. For starters this microphone has good weight to it which means it's built well. The included stand with the microphone is built out of metal which is nice. While the microphone does sound nice when playing back recorded voice. It does tend to pickup any background noise that is going around you. When trying out the microphone it picked up the 120mm fans in my desktop computer. If you plan on using this microphone to do stuff like gameplay commentary or video blogs. You might want to use the free software Audacity. To reduce any unwanted noise that been recorded. I was able to use Audacity to remove the noise the 120mm fans was making in the test I did. After the editing was done I sounded nice and clear which is a good.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just want to preface here, I don't really care about vocal audio quality other than people can clearly hear me. I bought this for gaming and gaming only because my current headset doesn't have a mic. And this thing delivers. After 10 different rounds with different randoms on some online games my feedback has been "loud and clear" and "sounds good". I have it about 1.5-2' away from my face to the left of my keyboard and it picks up my voice perfectly. It does what I wanted it to do so A+. There is a caveat though. I'm running this through nvidia broadcast. Basically this program software assists the mic to reduce background noise (and I'm sure there is much better programs, but I don't care because the one I got works just fine.) With the program on and off I did a couple tests. These include: having a fan blowing directly at me and the mic, mashing my loud mechanical keyboard, and knocking on my desk. Without the software the mic picked up everything exactly as it sounded. I'd say this is a win for mic quality but very annoying for gaming. With noise reduction on it blocked near 100% of all fan, keyboard, and knocking noise. Exactly what I wanted. The one major draw back is to get that level of noise cancellation it can block out your voice when doing heavy typing and knocking at the same time. Shouldn't be in issue for gaming but I can see it an issue for streaming. But I would assume this mostly my chosen software causing the issues. Conclusion: Mic sounds good, integrates with post processing software, mindless to set up, and it's affordable. For a gaming use case I highly recommend it.

Works great
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little bit bigger and taller than I thought it would be but it's pretty average as far as mic sizes go. Works great, picks up sound perfectly even when placed far away or off to the side so you don't have to worry about it getting in the way of your monitor. Has a pretty annoying red light permanently on, though, so maybe get some electrical tape with this to cover it if you don't want that. No drivers needed, just plug it into a USB port. USB cord is plenty long enough.

Great microphone if you're on a budget

Easy setup, great sound quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is just far superior with this than the lower-budget or built-in mics I've been using. It captures the inflection and warmth of the human voice with greater nuance and clarity. Definitely worth the extra $30, and I love the retro look of it!
