This is the microphone you cheap teenager with big YouTube dreams. Stop looking.

ByWiggleon July 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

I absolutely hate reading reviews of products that are made right after receiving a product and are about how fantastic the item was out of the box and then looking at the more informed reviews that show a product has "given out" or experienced serious "wear and tear" over time. Anyone who purchases finicky equipment like headphones, mics, controllers, etc. knows what I am talking about. So I'll tell you that I bought this product several years ago and waited until recently to give my review.
-
This microphone is spectacular.
-
When I bought this microphone, I had dreams of putting up commentaries of Xbox gameplay for games like COD and Halo and I needed a cheaper option with superior quality. I was a kid in high school and sacrificing quality for price was the roughest reality to face and so efficiency for price became the name of the game and boy, did this microphone deliver!
-
I am in my (hopefully) last year of college now and this microphone has been a desk staple in many different rooms now, it is EASILY adjustable and any space it requires is COMPLETELY warranted by the microphone's importance in your setup (but if you were wondering, it's about the same space on the desk as a router but of course takes more space because of vertical height).
-
As for quality, I am still in awe of it for the price I paid. It's crystal clear and my mouth doesn't need to be near it at all. It's now primarily used for Skype calls with friends (old dreams, they do die hard don't they?) and I easily have the clearest voice of everyone EACH AND EVERY call. Granted, I imagine there are without a doubt better microphones out there with better audio pick up that will easily beat out this microphone, this device is on par and does more than just "get the job done".
-
You can leave this microphone on your desk away from your face and not even talk into it and be actively heard in a Skype chat etc.
-
As for the physical quality, this microphone is still near the condition I received it in! The cable is thick and extremely sturdy, the plastic on the "Snowball" could have gotten marked if I was reckless, but it's hard and I don't see it ever getting more than marked (I don't see it cracking or puncturing). The weakest part of the microphone is the bottom stand it sits on and I only say that in order to fully inform you before you purchase the product, what the weakest part of it is (the bottom stand is in no way deficient or flimsy, it's just simply the least strong part by a small margin).
-
I highly recommend getting a Pop Filter with this product though to maintain crystal clear audio clarity. This is only if you plan on talking INTO the microphone (which as I stated above, isn't even necessary) to maintain voice clarity and reduce any possible damage done by fugitive saliva.
-
When you buy the Blue Snowball Microphone, it is a lifetime purchase. You will not be needing a replacement for the rest of your life. That is quality and that gets my seal of approval.
-
Wiggle, OUT

This is a fantastic microphone. The sound quality is amazing

ByDrew Tynanon August 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a fantastic microphone. The sound quality is amazing. I'm super glad I bought this. There's no popping or crackling sound and I can adjust it to hear me from sitting further away. I use this for a YouTube channel and it well exceeded my expectations. The quality is there. Studio Sound quality. If you're contemplating on getting this mic I'd say 100% just get it. You won't be disappointed.

Note: If you buy 2 Blue Mics. In order to get your computer to recognize two separate mics since they are USB connection. You have to send one back to Blue and they will reconfigure it for you for free and ship it back for free. You just have to pay the$10 shipping to them. When I got my second one back my computer (I use Mac) recognized it with no problem. And you can aggregate the 2 mins onto one audio track easily.

Great for the price

ByCalon February 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

For the money this is an excellent microphone and you should give it a try.

I am using this microphone for voice acting and recording audiobooks.
Ease of use- It is super simple to use. Literally plug and play, no configuration necessary. I have recorded with it using Linux and Windows.
Sound quality- Great, I don't know of any other microphone in this price range that sounds this good. I record myself talking and shouting so I can't comment on the sound when recording music, whale songs, or anything else.
Looks- It does look good doesn't it? Kinda reminds me of an Enclave Eyebot. I wish my pop filter didn't partially block me from looking at it while recording.
Build quality- Great, it feels as good as it looks. It screws on to any stand with a standard mic screw. The switch and plug in the back feel solid

Top Notch Quality for Economical Price

ByJohn Towleron March 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

Years later I am still using this mic and it is still making great recordings. The only problem I run into is that Windows occasionally has problems recognizing the Snowball (since going to Windows 10 this has been a problem). Customer support at Blue Microphones is abysmal. Below one star. I contacted them about the problem after searching for solutions myself online. Their response was that they never heard of the issue. Really? There were hundreds of posts about the issue in dozens of forums. They suggested solutions I'd already tried (despite my explaining what I'd done to troubleshoot the problem myself). Ultimately they were no help.
But the microphone is great and if you are willing to take on the burden of jumping through a few hoops if it doesn't work for you, it's a worthy investment.

One of the best price quality ratios.

ByFernon August 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

It is a very nice microphone. Considering the price range and its competitors charging $200 or more, this one is on a incredible price range.
The only thing is: it is BIG. By the picture you cannot tell. But it is bigger than I expected. (see picture comparing to an iPhone 6).
It is plug an play. On Mac you open the Quick Time Player ad record from there. It comes with three modes. The button is on the back. I could hear the difference only in one of the modes. The other two are very similar. I used it to record my musics I play.
The cable that connects is high quality and difficult to band and break. It has around 5 feet so interesting distance. But you do have to stay around the computer. To make videos is excellent

Worth it for someone looking for better audio quality minus the steep costs typically associated with quality microphones.

ByRobert Gonzalezon August 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a good little microphone for those who want better quality without paying a fortune out-of-pocket. A few times I had friends telling me I sounded a little "off" while in a skype call, but I was able to fix the issue by using a pop filter and bringing the mic closer to my face.

I was so used to the mics attached to gaming headsets that I didn't realize that I had to keep this mic fairly close to my face, and also facing me, as the Blue's default is cardioid if I'm not mistaken, which essentially means that the mic will only pick up audio directly in front of it.
