Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed to find an easy to use, high-quality microphone to record meditations. It was critical to balance my voice with the background music. I was thrilled with the Snowball! The adjustable stand was a help to get the perfect height on my desk. I used it with Garage Band and was pleased with the final results. It was more than some of the other microphones I researched, but they didn't have multiple modes like the Snowball does. I think it would be hard to be disappointed with the purchase. I have plans to use mine for podcasts as well.

this is really a great usb microphone for any beginner out there. i've read many reviews and bought this when it went on sale. there are other more expensive type microphone out there but it works real well for me when i make my youtube commentary.

Visually, appearance is awesome. Love the oldtime radio look, with metal covering. Has a good sturdy feel. The base is a tripod deal which takes up a bit too much table space, but the mic is secure, won't topple so it does its job. Plug and Play with included cable which I wish was a bit longer. Audio quality is very good.

I am a music production hobbyist and needed a good microphone. I was using basic non-USB microphones but the sound output was far too weak and required amplification and noise cleanup. But the Snowball gives really decent and loud signal with minimum noise. My software needed no resetting or adjustments. It was really plug-and-play. And the chrome finish looks so good that I am proud to have it on my desktop.

Works fantastic great buy and recommend to anyone starting out

It works fine but not great. Purchased this mic for company Skype calls where I am talking to two different rooms full of employees in two separate states. It does the job if you are in the right spot but I purchased this one specifically for a 360 degree speaking zone but it seems to only work if you are standing in front of it.

I have 2 computers. One where I record music and have a quasi-pro audio setup. So I was looking for a USB microphone for recording on my secondary computer. The room I am in doesn't allow for setting up mic booms, etc, so this mix was a blessing. Footprint is small enough to put on my desk. WARNING: mic is super sensitive, so don't bump whatever you place yours on. There are 3 settings (as many have pointed out) and you just have to try them to see which one works best for your application. Price is great!

Daughter is extremely satisfied with this product. She loves recording and posting online. This speaker is perfect for her to do this and to record with friends beside her. High quality product.

I'm so very pleased with my purchase of the Blue Snowball. The sound quality is crisp and has improved my podcast greatly. I can even share the mic with 2 other people and everyone can be heard.

Purchased this microphone for my daughter who is just beginning to write/record music on her Macbook Pro. Classy looking microphone with great quality and reasonable price.

Great microphone at a good price.... Got a $20 gift card with purchase so that was a nice surprise. Would highly recommend this microphone.

The Blue Snowball mic unbelievably easy to setup. GarageBand picked it up with now additional setup needed. I picked up the mic for recording podcast sessions, the vocal quality comes through loud and clear, and with a pop filter and isolation booth sounds professional when processed. Definitely worth the $50 price!

Hi quality microphone for recording top notch or near top notch audio (depending on sound card or chip)...have your own personal recording studio!

Hurray for beginners or people on a budget Or if your not recording for professional work and more for fun.

Was looking into buying a pic for streaming and recording audio in the future. Did my research and found out that the Snowball was a good mic for the value that it was at. Does what it says it does and people notice the clarity that the snowball gives. Good buy.

This microphone definitely helps podcast and video recording. The sound quality is better than my computer's audio and it's clear. Of course, it's not studio quality but that costs a lot more. A minor complaint is the stand. It's a bit too flexible, so I have to be careful how I set up the legs.

Great microphone! Superb and crisp sound and great style as well.

Took my 13 year old to choose his own gift for his birthday and he is thrilled. This wasn't the most expensive microphone nor the cheapest so about middle priced. It has a cool-intriguing design. Once set up at home it has the perfect look, works great and he loves it!

Real good microphone to use when streaming online or to record when making content videos. Super clear sound and the mic itself is built to last. Not made cheapily. A quick pick up for any gaming enthusiast.

Blue Microphones are always great and this is no exception. 3 different recording modes, a nice and long usb cable, and a nice heft and sturdiness to it make it a no brainer!
