    It seems to be a good microphone, does what is expected.

    Not great for music

    I record music, and I bought this as an B-Team alternative to carrying around my audio interface and microphone and the stand and the cables and all that jazz. Turns out it’s not very DAW-friendly, and only works at 48kHz. If this is jibberish to you, then this might be a good product for you to do podcasts or stream or whatever.

      Hello Dave! Thanks for your feedback. The Blue Snowball is a great mic, but as you mentioned, it's definitely aiming more towards podcasters and streamers, rather than musicians. It still gives you the flexibility and versatility to capture music, but we do have other options that might be better suited for those needs. In example, we have the Yeti Nano that offers recording sample rates at 24bit/48kHZ (instead of 16bit/48kHZ), or if you want to make a big leap forward, then the Yeti Pro would be a much better option, with recording sample rates at 24bit/192kHZ, plus the Pro offers an XLR Output if needed too.

    This mic was ok. The sound quality wasn't that great. I ended up trading it in for the Yeti mic and like it much more.

    My professional microphone from guitar center broke and the only option I had due to the lockdown was to go to Best Buy. I purchased this and right away it looks like a toy when you unbox it and it feels like one too. The quality is ok for minor projects but if you want something that will last then don’t buy it.

    The Blue Snowball microphone is a solid choice for all general use needs. There are multiple other brands which are much higher cost. If someone is just looking for a very good basic unit, this microphone should provide a nice solution.

    Works great for Zoom. Actually had to set it for just one person even though there are two of us because it was picking up too much background noise. Would really work great for a room full of people.

    After 3 hours of troubleshooting on Google doing various "Windows repairs", driver updates, reading forum threads, and watching videos, I declared defeat. Blue does not provide drivers to download manually. When I did the plug and play (on various USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports), something downloads, but it just ends up being an "Unspecified USB Device." I tried it on four different computers, including my work laptop, and it did not once work successfully. People suggested to "uninstall the drivers" in device and sound manager and reinstall, but NONE of my machines recognized the mic.
