    I was debating between this one and the blue yeti. I’m glad I saved the money and bought this one. It sounds amazing and I’m very happy with the results. My recordings sound clear. The mic is super easy to connect to your computer and use immediately out of the box.

    This microphone is so easy to use. It has 3 different settings for various recording scenarios. I have used to primarily for single speaking-level vocals, but it also works well if you are interested in recording instruments or louder singing vocals.

    This was my second experience with a Blue mic. I bought this after I borrowed a Blue Yeti to replace the stock mic on my headset. Although the Yeti was amazing I found it to be too sensitive. It picked up everything and it was way too heave for a mic stand. The Snowball was a nice compromise. I don't feel as though I lost too much quality over the Yeti yet I was able to put it on the cheap mic stand from Amazon. I found it useful to add a cheap cloth pop filter. It was a needed improvement. Being on the mic stand I have not found the need for a shock mount. The next upgrade to this would be to go with an XLR mic.

    Hooked right up to my pc and picks up my voice flawlessly. Had to actually turn it down bc it was picking up a little too much. It even has some switches in the back to change how intense you need the sound to be when recording.

    I bought this microphone as a starter as I begin getting into YouTube and streaming games everyone has comment on how clear and good it sounds. Of course is not as excellent as the Yeti but definitely worth the price and does a great job.

    Awesome microphone

    I went in to purchase a different microphone. I had done research and for what I was expecting to be doing, that other mic seemed like a good fit for price although it wasn't the highest quality. Once I saw the Blue Snowball was the same price, I snagged it without hesitation. Blue makes some high quality products, and the mic I had intended to get was a stop gap measure until I could save up enough for a Blue Yeti. With the Snowball, that Yeti might not get purchased. I have a friend that does a weekly podcast and we had a quick voip call to check the mic levels. Typically he has to adjust the levels on his home mic down to match the call-in's set up. He had to turn them up to match mine. Very awesome quality and at a great price. Could not be happier.

    I got this for voiceovers for youtube videos and tik toks. I would say that it does it's job well, I couldn't afford one of the more expensive mics. I wish it had one of the furry covers to help eliminate mic booms, as I have to do a lot of retakes. I was told by one of the employees at the store that it comes with software that you can help eliminate noise even further, I just haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

    This mic is great for doing voiceovers and some podcasting. There is some feedback you get with it, but it's still a deal for the price you pay for it. Plus, the feedback I hear is stuff that only a trained ear will hear. For the everyday person, this microphone is perfect.

    I bought this because I wanted to doGoogle Meet calls with family on my big screen TV. The microphone built in to the camera (Logitec Streamcam Plus) did a terrible job. I added this and it made a huge difference, picking up a clear voice even though I was sitting 12 feet away. Unfortunately, the TV version of Meet doesn't work very well.

    I really like how easy this was to get going and the recording sounds good. Used it on a Mac with several Adobe products as well as Facebook and FaceTime. Definitely worth it for the price.
