Amazing 5*s
At first I was worried when I plugged this into my laptop and did not get any sound. But after playing around in Audacity and switching between modes it worked… ….and boy did it WORK! The sound is really clear and investing in a 10 pop filter makes it even crisper. Compared to the Yeti, for the price there isn’t much difference in quality. 😀 Happy Customer!
Amazing
As a starting youtuber and doing lets plays I need a good mic. Before I had a trust mc mic and it did not work well.
This microphone has AMAZING quality and has 3 settings on the back like omni directional, which is great for podcasts and recording 2 people. And recording just one direction.
If you are a let’s player like me get the Snowball ice, it’s the same but cheaper and only records one direction.
amazing
his is amazing it came within two days of ordering it if you want a mic for music or audio for youtube get this it is well worth the money
Blue snowball Microphone
This product was recommended to me by a friend and I bought it in total faith with that recommendation. I have used it for a while now and it is one of the best purchases that I have made with all of the video creation equipment I have. I am glad I bought it and would buy it again. Superb quality and easy to use, plug and off you go!
Sound Like A Sta
Great value for money, The quality of the sound is awesome! I didn’t need the popscreen but i got it just incase there was any distortion, but in truth the quality is studio like without the pop screen. I also got it even cheaper than the offer price, because my friend brought me a gift card! Great product, i highly reccomend it if you want to record video’s, screen recording, gaming, commentary, skyping, radio, podcasting and anything else you can think of that requires using your voice.
Gutes Mic, guter Preis und auch ein pop filter der nirgends erwähnt wird.
Das Mic ist groe Klasse, ob Teamspeak oder Aufnahme von Sprache mit hoher Qualitt.
Ich habe noch keinen Makel finden knnen und meinen Pop Schutz habe ich bei normalem sprechen noch nicht nutzen mssen,
da das “Metallgitter” schon gengen Pops filtert.
Wenn ich meinen billigen Pronomic Filter richtig aufgebaut habe (richtiger abstand und winkel, kein 90 zum Mund!)
ist selbst durch pusten nur sehr schwer ein Pop zu erzeugen.
Mir ist nicht 100% schlssig wozu die beiden Einstellungen gut sind womit man das Mic leiser / unemfindlicher macht,
aber ich GLAUBE das es sogar mglich ist extrem laute Situationen aufzunehmen, ohne das das Mic sein Qualitts Limit erreicht.

So easy to use!
Works like a charm!
Very precise recording can deal with high sensitivity.

None
Recommend?
Certainly! its the best mic i’ve ever owned…(and the only one) haha. but still the product is truly fantastic for anything you want to record into the computer!
The Bes
So if your like me you have see you tubers use this mic and let me tell you this microphone is really really good I just wish the pictures for windows pc would be updated
Best microphone for the price
There are several reasons as to why you should get a standalone microphone, other than the obvious increase of sound quality.
1. It means you are no longer forced to use gaming headphones and can use some better ones.
2. You stop being a microphone breather and will be heard clearer.
3. People can instantly hear your mechanical keyboard.
In all seriousness it’s a great product, I haven’t found a single flaw or want in the product and I have been using it for a months time now in a variety of gaming and random chatting situations.
Awesome little mic
This is an awesome mic, it has amazing quality! I would recommend how ever, to get the best out of this product buy a boom arm. I have found that to get the best quality it have to be about an inch or two away from my mouth while using a pop filter, this can become awkward while streaming/recording videos/recording podcasts.
This will pick up my voice up to 2m away with fantastic clarity; and it was so easy to set up. Looks cool too. Only potential downside is that it’s quite large and conspicuous when I’m not using it.
Wow
I always wanted a professional mike. Blue have always make great mikes. This one fitted the budget, works great for the desktop usage. I think Yeti series is a bit smaller, and this one is larger than it looks on the website. Still a great purchase, and works well.
Works really well as a mid range mic, comes with an adjustable tripod. I ended up stretching a sock over it as a pop filter which works surprisingly well. Has good quality omnidirectional input and a really good range (upto about 2-3M away at normal speaking level). Good amount of cable to reach the back of your PC or to have the mic further away and also has 3 different settings for different setups such as somewhere with loud background noise or a podcast.
Well packaged, high quality and looks cool. I would recommend black or white over silve
Simple to use and great results
For a first-time user I did a little searching and decided on this make as it rated best on quality for price. I’ve used it a few times and the results are great, just what I needed. I use it for voice audio recording, not singing, and it’s perfect. I added a pop screen and the results are very clean, Highly recommended.
IM SO PLEASED
Firstly, I use windows 7 64 bit and this mic works perfectly.
It’s not quiet at all if you adjust the gains.
Perfect mic for everything. It also doesn’t clip at very loud sounds compared to other mics.
Really good mic for doing youtube.
I bought this mic for doing youtube and it is really good. One thing I recommend is that you get a pop filter with it to stop them p’s and b’s coming though and messing up the sound of the mic. But overall really good for the money, BUT if you have a little extra to spend then get the blue yeti.
Fantastic Microphone
Having always used a headset with a built in microphone and always having the microphone give up before the headphones did, I decided to go for seperates. Did a bit of research and had a few recommendations from friends and finally settled on this little beauty.
Friends say they can hear what i’m saying crystal clear even though the mic is situated on my desk and with background noise behind me (which it cancels out). It isn’t cheap and it is fairly large but you will not regret using one of these. You can go for the cheaper version which is the Snowball ICE but that doesn’t have the features of this one.
So if your looking for a microphone then I can whole heartedly recommend this one.

A decent, simple, mono mic
This mic couldn’t be simpler to use. Plug it into a USB port, then start your recording software. The software will find the mic and identify it, and that’s all there is to it. Keep in mind that it’s a mono mic, not a stereo. Within that limitation it works quite well. If you’re using it to record speech or singing you’ll need some kind of a pop guard (they’re available, or you can make one easily enough). The mic comes with a decent little desk-top stand and a good cord to connect it to the computer. It’s adjustable for various uses, and the adjustments work well. The mic itself is a bit bigger than you might expect, being a bit over 4 inches (100mm) in diameter. Also be aware that it comes in various colors, and for some reason, although the mics are identical except for the color of their plastic, they sell for different prices.
Love it!
Let me tell you, if you’re thinking of purchasing this Mic, you’re onto a winner!
Let me start off by saying;
The quality produced by this mic is prestine. Clear and crisp sound. Background noise is a minority, however can be editied in a sound recording software.
The Mic comes with a nice metal adjustable Mic stant, which is very nice, and also comes with a long, plastic coated well protected USB.
This MIC sits perfectly on Desks and is great for Youtube, Skype and musical recordings.
Considering buying this mic? Go on, its fantastic and I recommend it to anyone! Not to mention the speedy delivery and great packaging.
5* Awesome job!
pros
P-shields, shock absorbers needless with this. High quality voice recording will be carried out by this mic without th eneed of any accessories. I keep it on my desk atop it’s own stand, very little to none fan noise is captured by the mic in cardioid mode, my voice is recorded with extreme fidelity.
Very easy installation. It only needs to be plugged in (win 8 tested).
Fully compatible with Logitech 920 HD cam. The mic is selectable as a sound source from within the camera’s software.
The supplied stand offers extension and rotation of the mic.
Well designed, looks cool (but see cons as well)
cons
Big, heavy, bulky, expensive, red led annoys me at times. The mic on it’s own is just a heavy sturdy ball. When attached to its stand it takes considerable space at least on my small desktop area.
good value
My 20 year old really loves this, really good item. Bought for an xmas present. He was chuffed with it.
Great for webinars
I bought this for work to host webinars where we have multiple speakers around a table. The omnidirectional switch option works great for this and we had many comments that the voices are much clearer since we started using this microphone.
Smart piece of ki
Very nice design! I use this for Skype and voice recording with Garageband on the Mac. It was plugged in and literally worked straight away. Picks up voice sound clearly. Overall really happy, only complaints would be the four metal pins on the back of the mic are very weak, you have to be so careful with them. Anyone else have this concern?
Klasse Mikrofo
Ich bin mit dem Mikrofon im Groen und Ganzen sehr zufrieden. Die Audioqualitt ist gut bis sehr gut und perfekt geeignet fr Podcasts, Youtube-Videos und Skype-Anrufe in hoher Qualitt. Fr letzteres wrde ich jedoch ein zustzliches “groes” Mikrofonstativ mit Galgen empfehlen, weil man sonst bei normaler Haltung vor dem PC einfach zu weit vom Mikrofon entfernt ist. Gute Erfahrungen hab ich mit k&m Mikrofonstativen gemacht. Ich benutze das Mikro auch zum Einspielen von Instrumenten. Fr den Home-Studio Bereich vollkommen ausreichend. Ffrs professionelle Studio wrd ich’s nicht unbedingt einsetzen, dass kann man meiner Meinung nach auch nicht von einem >100 Euro Mikrofon erwarten 😉 Trotzdem: Kaufen!
(Nein, ich arbeite nicht fr Amazon 🙂

As with all the other reviews, the sound quality on this thing is perfect. However one small quibble. Due to the angle the USB connector has when plugged in, it slips out with the slightest movement. Obviously a bit of tape would fix this but ideally it needs a better USB cable with a locking device.

gute Klangqualität, auch im entfernten Betrieb
Ich nutze das Gert hauptschlich als Freisprechmikrofon, d.h. es steht auf einer erhhten Position hinter dem Bildschirm und schaut quasi drber. Selbst, wenn ich 3m entfernt vom PC stehen und spreche, kann man mich noch gut verstehen. In Verbindung mit entsprechender Software erhlt man trotz der Freisprechnutzung eine gute Unempfindlichkeit gegenber unerwnschten Strgeruschen. In Verbindung mit (digitalen) Kopfhrern eine tolle Alternative zum Headset und in Sachen Robustheit, sowie Akkulaufzeit (der Kopfhrer) einem Headset um einiges berlegen.
Fantastic Microphone
Since my MacBook only can use USB mic’s, I bought this microphone to use for streaming and filming stuff for youtube. Works like a charm! Sounds fantastic at any Db, where most mics would pop or make horrible noises. Sounds clear and natural. If you want a mic for professional recording, this one is definitely worth the price.
Studio quality
Wow, what a great microphone. I haven’t used it a great deal, but in my trials I found it to be superb, top notch sound quality.
My only fault would be that you need to be very close to the microphone. Still 5 stars! Check out some youtube videos to check quality, it really is THAT good.
When I first had this microphone, I had the issue that quite a lot of users have, there is no driver from Blue and it doesn’t work. After a re-install of Windows 7 (not due to the microphone) it worked perfectly.
This does not work with Pro Tools software, but free recording software such as Audacity is fine.
The microphone is great, quite a lot of low end, but when you roll that off the higher frequencies are captured very well. The 3 settings are easy to use, cardioid, cardioid with a -10dB pad and omni-directional.
You would probably want a pop shield or something more to hold back the P’s, as I said, this microphone captures a fair amount of low end, so P’s tend to jump out big time.
Also the amount of power this microphone needs from the USB hub is pretty substantial. This means that you may have to disconnect some (or in my case, pretty much all) other USBs in order to feed the microphone enough power.
Overall, a great sounding USB microphone that is good value for money and professional sounding microphone settings that you would expect more on studio-quality microphones rather than desktop USB ones.
Excellent and worth the money!
It arrived 2 days earlier, which was excellent! I am a music producer and Youtube broadcaster and I am satisfied with the quality it has provided. Be aware of the connector at the back as it is very sensitive. As long as you don’t pull on the wire, or move the microphone around, you should be fine. The tripod is also very strong and does hold the microphone up very well.
Wer fr den Voice-Chat kein Headset verwenden will, sondern lieber auf ein Tischmikrofon ausweicht, knnte hiermit etwas Interessantes gefunden haben:
Der “Schneeball” (in der glnzenden Metall-Version, die ich habe hnelt er eher einem “Thermaldetonator” aus StarWars ^^) ist schon ein ganz schnes Ding:
– Designtechnisch ist es sehr auffllig, da die Optik einfach ungewohnt fr ein Mikrofon ist.
– Was die Gre betrifft, war ich ganz schn berrascht: Auf den Bildern wirkt das Mikrofon in etwa so gro wie ein Tennisball, tatschlich ist die Kugel allerdings ein kleines Stck grer!
– Der Ton ist soweit zufriedenstellend, wenn auch nicht fr jeden Zweck geeignet. So wird man im Voice-Chat beispielsweise gut verstanden, klingt allerdings etwas, als wrde man in eine Rhre sprechen (so ein Feedback aus der Sicht der Zuhrer).
– Die Abnahme von Instrumenten ber das Mikro stelle ich mir umstndlich vor. Anders gesagt meine ich, dass man hierzu besser doch direkt ber einen Preamp (USB) am Computer aufnehmen sollte oder auf entsprechend fr Instrumentenabnahme gebaute Mikrofone zurckgreift, sonst wird man hierbei nicht glcklich. 😉
– Fr die Aufnahme einzelner Gerusche eignet sich das Mikrofon meines Erachtens leider ebenfalls nicht: Es nimmt zuviele Tne wahr. Ein kaum hrbarer, extraleiser PC-Lfter fliet so als stndiges Rauschen in die Aufnahme ein.
Alles in Allem finde ich das Gert sehr gut als Alternative zum Headset beim Voice-Chat.
Fr Aufnahmen ohne Nebengerusche wie in etwa Gesprche im Nebenzimmer etc. ist das Gert jedoch eher untauglich.
Plug & play, great quality!
Easy to set up. Great quality for the price. You can place it next to your screen and it’ll capture your voice perfectly.
The only small thing I don’t like about it is that the red led on the front of the mic stays on, when plugged in, even when your computer is turned off.
Blue Snowball
I’ve had this microphone for just over a year, I use it to make Youtube videos and the quality when recording is great. As for the structure of the mic it’s 50/50 for me. The stand does the job but it’s not particularly sturdy and when elevated it can feel a bit flimsy and never feels like it’s properly locked in. The USB cable has been an issue since day one, it must have been faulty because it takes a few tries for the PC to recognise. I didn’t do anything earlier as just unplugging/putting it back in fixed the issue, but today it took almost ten minutes to make it work. I ordered an Amazon Basics cable and hopefully this will resolve the issue as the product is still in very good working order and has never let me down once its been recognised by my computer.
Pros
– Microphone has great recording quality.
– It looks good (if that matters). I own a black one to suit my desk.
Cons
-Faulty Cable
-For the money, a better stand could be supplied.

Grea
It was a great Mic, really clear and crisp in sound for a USB microphone, only down side for me is that it worked great on my old laptop and now doesn’t work at all on my new Windows 8 laptop, probably my own fault for not realizing it before I bought the laptop, but you’d think that they’d invest more time in making it compatible with windows 8 and other new versions. Still a great product though unless you’re on Windows 8.
Sehr Hochwertige Qualität zum kleinen Preis
Frisch aus England hergeflogen, gleich auf meinem Schreibtisch.
Keine Komplikationen.
Ausgepackt, angesteckt fertig. Wird sofort als externes Mikrofon erkannt.
Ich empfehle einennormalen Popschutz zu dem Mikrofon dazu zu kaufen, (Verbessert die Verstndlichkeit + Qualitt)
Fr Podcasts und generelle Videos eine sehr angenehme Sache. Ich sitze hier ca. 20-30+ cm von dem Mikrofon weg und man versteht sich wunderbar.
Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.
Good
This microphone is very good for it’s price but it’s too big. The stand for it is a overkill. It gets in the way sometimes.
High grade audio quality
Ever since I bought this thing, I love using it for voice calling and recording my voice. It is a really affordable device for regular recording of your voice. I have used it in videos as well as an interview.
For it’s price it serves it’s purpose well.
My new Snowball Microphone
I’m very comfortable with my new gadget, it is very easy to use and the sound is almost as expected. It does what it have to do. Now my recordings are cleaner and more pleasant. The only downside that I can make is that, if you are in a noisy environment, is that sound in the background.
Great quality for price!
I needed a microphone to record vocals and guitar but at the same time I didn’t have much money to spend, then I found the Blue Snowball and I was relieved.
Its a great little microphone, because its a condenser it records vocals very well, I use the microphone for both voice acting and singing and I hasn’t let me down yet! I’m also using it to record guitar and it does a really good job at the too, its best at recording acoustic guitar and though I would prefer a dynamic microphone for recording electric guitar (because of the amplifier) it still does a great job at recording that too.
Build quality is excellent, very sturdy, I’ve knocked it over and dropped it more times then I am proud of and still works like the day I got it.
One thing I will say is though, I don’t notice too much of a difference between the microphones Cardioid and Omnidirectional settings, in Cardioid mode the microphone will still pick the quite a bit of the sound around it.
Overall a great product, can’t beat the price! Perfect for anyone just starting out in recording, especially voice, and looking to get a cheap and semi-professional audio quality microphone, great for Skype calls too!

I Love My Snowball!
I use my Snowball for all kinds of recording! Together with this pop filter: […] (with Mic stand clamp) that I bought together from Amazon, I get excellent sound quality recordings. Thepop filter is excellent and clips right to my Blue Snowball mic. I mainly use my snowball for recording my voice for podcasts, voice over work, and msuic production.
Blue Snowballs are one of the best entry-level mics for serious podcasters who want to upgrade from using a headset or low quality microphone to record. Trust me, your podcast will sound much more professional when you upgrade to Blue.
Excellent quality, fantastic style, beautiful sound
I purchased this product since i use Skype a lot and play a lot of online games. Definitely a case of overkill, however I fell in love with this product the moment I saw it.
Opting for the brushed aluminium, it is more of a chromed plastic finish, and a little bit of a fingerprint magnet, however it’s looks always draw comments from friends, and I’ve been told that hearing me speak over it is like being in the same room.
This microphone has 3 settings, I find that for general day to day use, coupled with me sitting a sensible distance away that setting 2 is the best. 1 was too loud, and 3 was picking up my speakers. However it’s simply a question of plug and play to see what works for you.
It is certainly a good size, and worth bearing in mind if you don’t have a lot of desk space. About the same size as a tennis ball, it’s stand is sturdy, solid, and the whole thing looks and feels like it will last for a long time to come.
I cannot recommend this product more than I have, it’s a thing of beauty. Go buy one today!

Blue Snowball is Grea
I bought this microphone specifically for pod-casting,voice-overs,and a better microphone for video chatting. It works perfectly and has made my recording much clearer. I like it because it is USB powered and is easy to use anywhere you go. Just plug in and record and you are good to go. I would not recommend this product for studio recording (even though Justin Bieber used this mic) because it does not provide that many options when recording audio.
I would spend around $300+, look for a condenser mic with XLR connections, and buy a focusrite audio interface.
If you just want a great mic for simple recordings though, this is definitely the way to go!!
Absolutely amazing
Best microphone to choose for best price better to have this one rather than the cheaper ‘ice’ version this is my advice a really great product highly recommend it to others
Brilliant! :D
I love my Snowball mic, I have been using it for my youtube and it’s far better than my silly old 5 microphone I used to use. Wonderful quality. The only drawback is that I’d say a pop filter is a must, I made one out of a sock and a coat hanger but that’s not to stop you getting your hands on one. This is a definite buy for youtubers or musicians alike.
4 and three quarter stars. An awesome microphone!
I’d love to give this 4 and three quarter stars because it’s a great microphone. There’s one or two things that mean it doesn’t get 5 stars, which is why it’s at 4.
Good:
-It looks great. I got it in glossy black, and it’s a really good looking, cool, retro style microphone – In glossy black, I might add, really does look glossy, much like the DS lite in terms of looks, unlike the matte looking picture on amazon. When it’s turned on, the red light looks great and the shiny “Blue” logo on the front looks awesome.
-It’s well made. The plastic is of great quality, it feels pretty sturdy, the microphone grating part behind the logo and through the slits at the back is a strong metal. The tripod that it comes with is really good, it’s strong, sits on the desk well, the rubbery feet mean it doesn’t move easily once you put it down, so the tripod does the job and is easily adjustable. There is one issue with how it’s made, but I’ll get onto that.
-The sound is good. It’s very clear, crisp, and on the whole has good pick up. There are three settings which are different, I tend to use the omnidirectional even for podcast like recording, because the one designed for it picks up more noise from the room, so the omnidirectional does a better job at just getting my voice, but that’s just through my experience. The second setting for recording instruments has quite a low pick up, so talking in that mode isn’t so easy, and since I don’t have a pop filter, talking close to the microphone isn’t really an option – it is, however, the most warm sounding of the settings. For better sound tests, look it up on youtube, as that’ll give you an idea for some of the modes, but in my experience so far, it’s better than what you hear on youtube, but that might just be because I’m hearing my own voice.
-Very easy to set up. Takes less than a minute if you know what you’re doing – Control panel, sounds and audio devices, audio, then change the default microphone to snowball. Very simple and easy. One issue I had (not the microphone’s fault), was that when I opened up my audio editing program, in this case audacity, it was still set as the inbuilt microphone, so I was pretty worried for a second until I realised my mistake and changed it to the correct setting.
-Delivery was good. After it was dispatched, took a day or so, and I was using super saver delivery (the free one). This was my first purchase on amazon, so I was delighted to get it so quickly.
-Price. Excellent. Got it for 63, or there around, and I see it’s been cut from around 80, I saw it in maplins for 99, so a really good buy at the moment for the money.
______________________________
Bad:
-There’s a sticker type thing going around the upper ring which has the name and company name, which has a bubble in a couple of places which means it’s raised up a bit, and it’s hard to push out. It’s like getting a bubble when laminating a sheet of paper. It’s somewhat annoying, and a shame because the rest of it is so good. It covers up the joint between the two halves of the microphone, so I won’t peel it off, and will refrain from reminding myself that it is there. I make it sound like it’s a bodily issue, but it’s really something that should have been printed on, not a cheap sticker.
-Sound could be *slightly* warmer. I can’t really explain it. I like the omnidirectional and the second setting, but the podcasty setting was slightly too harsh in its pick up. A little hard to explain, but not worth not buying for.
_____________________________
Verdict:
It’s great. For the price, for what you get, it’s wonderful. It’s my first stand-alone microphone, and it’s a great buy. Obviously there are better microphones in the world for higher prices, and there are a few features I would have liked like an on-board mute button, so I wouldn’t have to go into skype to mute myself, or to pause the editing program. It’s visually an awesome mic, it’s a physically strong mic, and it sounds really good. I’m very pleased with it, and it’s 100x better than the inbuilt mic I was previously using, and can’t wait to continue my use of the snowball in future. If you’re looking for a microphone, buy this one.
Blue Microphones Snowball Review
Very good product and would highly recommend for any one wanting quality audio. I do voice recording for videos so invested in this and the feedback I have got is excellent. Really can’t go wrong with the product. As always the only bad thing is the price but you don’t get anything for free these days.
**TOP TIP** Does what it says on the tin! Easy to use – however I quickly worked out that the power cable can easily be inserted into the actual mic upside down. This will show that the mic has power but simply won’t work. TO AVOID RETURNING THIS ITEM WRONGLY – Ensure you look at the connection.
Great Microphone
One of the best microphones I have purchased since I have had a computer this can be useful for voice overs as well as a good microphone for Skype for instance.
An amazing microphone with an amazing price.
Originally, I had used Gaming Headset microphones as I recorded gameplay videos and talked with friends on skype, my headset however was near broken and my mic had terrible audio quality, as a result I looked into many different microphones and found the Blue microphone range, after looking at many reviews I decided on purchasing the Snowball and have not looked back since, the microphone is great quality and is perfect for use at home or for recording songs, video commentary or generally speaking with friends, I have since suggested the microphone to my friends, one of which bought the Blue Yeti, there is not a very noticeable difference between the snowball and yeti’s audio quality considering the price however, if you are planning on hosting a radio show, pod-cast or producing music I suggest using the Yeti or Yeti Pro if you can afford it as these are better for Studio use.
Another great feature of the Snowball is it’s ease of use, as stated, all you have to do is plug it into the computer and it will work, no drivers are needed to install and so it is great for those who are not very good with Computers.
Pros:
-Affordable Studio Quality Microphone
-Great Build Quality
-Great design and very easy setup
Cons:
-Cannot find any 🙂

blue microphone
present for my son,he chose it and when it arrived he loved it it keeps him happy and quiet.I thought it was a bit pricey but my son didnt so i suppose who am i to argue after all hav u ever known a teenager to be wrong;wud recomend for a peaceful life.
Fantastic piece of ki
The Blue Snowball is a wonderful alternative to whatever you are using at the moment. Currently, I use it for commentaries and it picks my voice up perfectly with minimal popping, although if you want to pick up a pop screen filter then they aren’t too expensive either. It is sensitive in the sense that you can be relatively far away from it and it will still pick up your voice yet it is clever enough not to sound too loud if you are close to it.
Positives: USB microphone means no need for installation.
Perfectly clear sounding recordings.
Adjustable height and easy to set up.
Tripod is strong, with rubber grips so you can count on it to stay put and not take up too much space.
Just be sure to check that the Blue Snowball is compatiable with the Operating System you are using. Im using Windows XP and it works perfectly for me.
What a little peach
I love this microphone, its easy to transport, simple to plug in and use and most of all it sounds amazing!! exactly what I wanted it’s perfect and would highly recommend it to anyone
Perfec
I’ll make this quick.
Ordered it with 3-5 day delivery, it came in 3 days, perfect for me.
I was 100% impressed with the packaging and really.. i’d recommend anyone to buy this for any purpose, it’s a little sensitive but there are 3 different settings for that.
Overall really impressed.
Amazing
When I bought this mic I thought it was pretty expensive but after getting it it was so cheap as it is basically a studio microphone at 1/4 of the price. it can be used for anything from pod-casts to singing and it produces amazing sound quality with no background noise. it was also incredibly easy to set-up as all you have to do it plug the usb lead into eather your computer or ipad and it works.
I would recommend this product to anyone. It’s amazing
Ordered at 7am-ish on a Tuesday morning.. Woke up on Wednesday and was in my hands by 9:30 am... Open it up and attach the snowball to stand and attach a NADY 6" Pop Filter to Snowball stand and was recording in less than 5 minutes. I couldnt be more satisfied with a Microphone of this price and quality. Records easily with any software, sound is Great.. I would recommend this to Vloggers, Youtube Video Commentators, amateur artists etc... If your looking for a more Professional series go with the Blue Microphones "Yeti" Its more feature rich and better quality sound. None the less the "Snowball" is an excellent "worth it" purchase.

I do webinar teaching that have several nations involved. The Blue Snowball USB Microphone is a great way to get clear voice to the webinars. It is a wonderful way to use the external microphone when needed. It is large about 6 inches tall but worth the price and has brought professional sound to the Webinars and Conference calls I do over the laptop computer. Easy to connect and set up took 2 minutes, most of the time was getting the microphone out of the package. I recommend this to anyone that wants clear sound on internet conferences and recordings.

Having RESEARCHED at Blue’s own web site (rather than relying on Amazon’s product descriptions, which can sometimes be wrong) I was confident of a good mic and I wasn’t wrong. Was also extremely happy to get it for nearly half the price (it went up by a tenner the day after I bought it!).
You could find a number of ‘issues’ with it if you don’t know what you’re doing, but for those who understand the limitations — not of the Snowball but of home audio recording in general — and how to work round them to the advantage, the Snowball fits in just great.
You may need to push the gain up a little in your software, as the mic doesn’t have a preamp, but then again I could hear the tapping of my thumb and forefinger in front of and behind the mic – in other words it has no problem in picking up both direct and ambient noise. All three setting ‘positions’ have their uses depending on what you want to record, and in fact you might find you get a better vocal or acoustic instrument recording if you use the omni and get in closer — the trick is to EXPERIMENT and don’t take your first take as a definition of what the Snowball can help you achieve.
I’m sorry if this sounds like a lecture, but I am sick of reading the reviews from people who complain about the mic because — probably — the rest of their setup is appalling. Research and read some articles on audio recording (particularly in the home) and you’ll find that the biggest factor on getting decent recordings is the ROOM itself.
Try these:
[…]
Seriously, you can’t plug a mic — any mic — in to your PC or Mac and expect it to sound fantastic without you doing any work. It’s not a magic cure all for bad acoustics or bad vocals. That said, I believe the Snowball is one of the best microphones in its class (if you don’t need 24 bit / 192kHz recording, in which case look at the Yeti instead).
Perfectly usable with the likes of GarageBand, for podcasting, and so on. I personally wouldn’t use it with Skype or other IM because my headset is adequate for spoken vocals in that context, but I have no doubt it would work great.
I highly recommend this microphone. If audio levels are really likely to be an issue (bearing in mind that most amateur home recordists capture vocals at too high a level) perhaps you’d be better off with a Shure mic (or one of Blue’s XLR mics) and a XLR-USB preamp like the Icicle.
(and no I don’t work for Blue).
Fast delivery, and an amazing product.
I got this microphone on Wednesday and it arrived the next day. The microphone is the perfect size and has a nice weight to it. It feels strong, sturdy and is an amazing product.
The microphone quality is really good and i am really happy with the mic. I use windows 7 and there was no manual installation needed. It runs well and i am very pleased and recommend this microphone to anyone 🙂
Thanks
Great Sound Quality But Lacking Features
This mic looks and sounds amazing, has great build quality and picks up EVERY sound. My only issues are that because it uses a USB connection and doesn’t use a driver there are no settings for gain, equalisers or noise cancelling so if you plan to use this for gaming you’ll need a pair of headphones.
great !!!
his is unique product in every aspect : great design, great quality – great sound !
we just receive our snow ball microphone, and we first notice very nice packaging, and when we open – we discover that microphone is bigger then we expect. after few hours of testing – we was surprised with professional quality of recorded sound. great product and thanks god we finally solve our problem with recording high quality sound with this great snow ball blue usb microphone
Great piece of kit at a reasonable price. Very simple to install and use, but ensure that you’re fully aware of the functionality of the 3 settings, as using an incorrect one will cause problems. I used mine for recording onto e-learning and it was clear and of excellent quality. Would recommend highly for home use.

Excelle

This mic really is great quality, the fact that it connects via USB eliminates the static that is sometimes picked up in mics that connect via the microphone jack (which I had problems with)
But no there is no static and my recordings are great quality.
Quick Tip: always look at the black snowball mic, the white one, and the aluminium one as sometimes they have sales on one, but not the others, they all sound the same and you get to save some money 🙂
Super Produc
Working in the media industry I was sceptical when buying this. I usually work with tv studio microphones and equipment which is high quality but expensive for many pockets. So I bought this to do podcasts and some other vocal work from home. I was not disappointed and along with garage band and my mac, I have been about to produce some fabulous work. In fact, people thought I did it in the recording studio! I would not hesitate to recommend it to you too!

I bought this to make commentary for videos on Youtube over gameplay recorded from my xbox 360. The quality I get is spectacular, no matter how hard I try I cannot get it to make the phht sound when I over exaggerate the P’s in words, as some cheap microphones do.
Overall it is a brilliant product and I would and have recommended it to anyone who wants to use it for making gameplay commentaries for youtube.

I bought this product because I wanted to do some voice acting with an animation I’m working on. This is perfect for basic recording with little or no inteference from background noice. There are three settings for voice, music and double speakers for interview / surround recordings.
It’s a nice little microphone and picks up sound really well without annoying clicking and buzzing.
I had no previous knowledge with mics. The most I did recording-wise was with a headset – which produced inferior recordings – so this was bought after a bit if research on the internet. No regrets in buying this product – its small frame means it spends most of the time on my desk without taking up too much space. Very useful if like me if you have trouble keeping a tidy desk.
A few people have been worried about the blue snowball mic not working with Windows 7. I use a windows 7 64 bit laptop and so far there have been no problems. Once plugged in it recognises the mic pretty quickly and the laptop hasn’t come up with any error messages. While I cannot speak for other blue products this one works fine with 7.

Blue Microphones Snowball/TW USB Microphone KC White
At first I was hesitant to buy this mic as I had read some bad reviews of it.
I decided to throw caution to the wind and stick with my decision to order.
I am happy I did.The set up works well,no hassle plugging it in and the software installed easily upon W7. (simply goto Blues website for instructions)
The 2 year warranty it comes with is also a sign of good manufacture quality.
Thus far it has been tested only upon the PC but will tested upon other devices when I have the necessary connector bit thingym’jigs..
Overall, a five star review.

Excellent quality
This microphone really stands out in quality, especially seen the low price for what you get.
It can easily be used for professional recording, although I do advise getting a pop filter together with it to filter out ‘p’ and ‘b’ popping sounds.
I have used it to record a rap song and the result was truly amazing.
Connecting to my computer was as easy as putting it in the USB port (on Mac).
On Windows I had to try connecting it a few times, but after that it worked perfectly without having to install any drivers.
his is an amazing mic and the original price was 70-100 on the website. the quality of the actual product and audio is amazing and the small stand is high quality too
I received the microphone in the time specified and set it up on my mac. The vocal recording was of high quality and good volume, in fact I had to reduce the recording level to stop distortion. A good buy.

The first thing you may notice is the price, it may seem alot in these tough times but it is worth every penny.
Pros
The Build Quality is exquisite. The microphone doesn’t feel cheap or plastic. The front of the microphone is incredibly robust.
The Sound quality is brilliant. When I bought the microphone I was not expecting the quality to be this good.
It has three settings (adjustable via a switch on the back) The first is for voice overs or any other vocals, the second is for recording instruments (e.g Guitar), and the third is for interviews or for recording multiple voices.
Cons
The Tripod can be hard to use, and it is difficult to get the microphone off it.
Overall a brilliant microphone for even daily use. Definitely worth the money.

Best microphone ye
This product is easy to set up and install. I managed to source the instructions for the microphone online, but was able to figure out how to set up the product with its included tripod without the manual. The USB installation on my computer was quick and simple to do.

Gutes Mikrofon für "Amateuruser"
Bitte den Titel nicht falsch verstehen!
Das Mic ist deutlich besser als die meisten Mics, die standardmig in Headsets oder Cams verbaut sind.
Alles finde ich ziemlich gut, aber leider schaffe ich es nicht unter Windows 7 einzustellen, dass ich mich selbst hre, OHNE dabei Latenz zu haben (d.h. dass ich mich zwar hre, aber etwas verzgert).
Liegt wahrscheinlich am USB-Interface.
My snowball came defective out of the box, but support were very helpful and my replacement works like a charm. You will get low gain on audio if you’re not careful, but a few tweaks with whatever software you use (works well with Audacity) take care of that in no time.
One of the better USB microphones on the market.
I’m wondering if anyone has bought this item from Amazon and had it work with Windows 7? I’d like to know before I buy if Amazon are stocking the newer versions which are compatible with windows 7 before i buy.
thanks.

Will Blue Snowball mic work with iPad2 and Garageband?
This is an excellent mic for use with GarageBand in the Mac. However, I was disappointed to find that it would not work with a PC running Vista or Windows 7.
Does anyone know if it will work with GarageBand on the iPad2? (via the camera connection kit)

Great product, had a fair amount of studio experience with high tech microphone. This quite simply gives a very competitive sound, especially for the price. Purchased for home studio work, easily set up and great features.
Recommend this to anyone who wants to get recording music on a home computer to produce studio quality sound.

I would recommend the snowball microphone. The perfect gadget. It worked well doing recordings for e-learning and using the software Adobe Captivate.
