Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was rocking Turtle Beach x12's for the past 2 years or so and my mic quality on that was pretty bad after the cord got tangled within a couple of weeks, so I went out and decided to grab one of these Snowballs, and so far, a day into it, it's working great, no stutter, barely picks up my mechancal keyboard, but picks up my voice even at semi-low volumes. Definately worth the $45.

The good The Snowball is an extremely sturdy and stylish multipattern microphone that plugs directly into your computer's USB port with a minimum of fuss. At this price, you'll have a hard time finding a better-sounding, better-looking, or more easy-to-use microphone for your computer. Just don't expect the Blue Microphones Snowball to replace a studio's worth of recording gear.

-Only 44.1kHz/16 bit. -Mic stand doesn't angle high enough for proper mouth alignment. Delivers crisp audio in a cardioid recording pattern. No DSP means pure signal. Plug-and-play ready. Its a fine microphone stand but I have to say I do not like the the stand included at all. It takes up too much space and the mic itself moves up only to a certain angle which makes it not great for positioning and aligning with your mouth. I say skip it and buy a caster and arm that clamps to your desk because you can unscrew the 3 legged stand that comes with it and screw in practically anything that it can fit. you can find the arm cheap and they usually include a pop filter. Get some audio software to increase the mic to its max capability because its a great mic. If you are wanting something much better though Yeti sells that. I would say that this is a good starter off. My friends hear me crisp and clean and great. It does its best to not capture other noises. (Even though that took editing the settings for audio on Discord as well as positioning the mic in a way so it doesn't capture my running fan.) Its a fine plug and play mic. PCMag.com does a nice review on it too.

Great sound at very competitive price! If you want anything better, then you will be paying twice as much or more.

Sound quality is pretty good. I wish it had a mute button on it.

The Snowball iCE is an easy to use microphone and easy on the money. If you are looking to get a microphone but don't have the money to buy an expensive one, then get this one. I been using this for sometime now and it's a really good microphone and the price is good.

I love this product, amazing quality! I would definitely by this brand again!

I use this for teamspeak and recording webinars. Invested in it after getting tired of awful quality from other mics, and losing half my audio bandwidth with the mics in my bluetooth headsets. Sound is nice and clear. I attached it to a $15 adjustable mic arm and covered the bright red LED with some electrical tape, works great for my needs.

Easy to use, super good quality, doesn’t break the bank.

My daughter started her YouTube channel, and been asking for a better mic than the built in one. Easy set up via USB, clear sound, not to mention cool looking and reasonably priced. By the way BB had the best price on that day.

Is the Snowball Ice the best-sounding mic on the market? No. Only being 44.1kHz/16 bit does limit its sonic capabilities somewhat. And some users might miss the more or less standard (for USB mics) gain knob and headphone jack. But for $50 we're willing to let a lot slide, and for most vocal applications, it's more than suitable. It's simple, and the lack of DSP means a leaner, more pure signal than you'll get from some gaming-oriented USB mics. If multiple mic patterns appeals to you, of course, the Snowball is only a little more money and has many of the same basic features. If your budget allows, we're also fans of the Blue Raspberry and the Beyerdynamic Fox, and if a DSP-applying gamer's USB mic is more what you're after, consider the Turtle Beach Stream Mic or the Razer Seiren Elite. But for $50, the Snowball Ice is a capable entry-level USB mic that does a great job and earns my backing.

Bought it for my Son For his birthday and he was very happy and it works great! He uses it all the time and can hear better from his friends when he’s playing his games. The quality of the speaker and the price was very good.

Works very well. It has clear audio and was easy to set up.

This microphone is pretty good for its price, has a good quality. its a bit quiet from a distance away from your face but more clear when you are closer to the mic when others are trying to hear you talk in a conversation.

Its on the cheaper side when compared to other mics but honestly that is okay. The quality of the sound is great, the only downside is that is does pickup some background noise. Filters in certain editing programs should help negate those noises though.

This mic sounds very clear and picks up little background noise. Purchased this through the best buy app when it was $5 off so it was a pretty good price. Overall I'd recommend this to anyone who is looking to purchase a good mic at a decent price. The design is nice and goes with my white computer build as well.

Make sure you put some sort of filter, as it picks up a LOT of sound. I just used two winter hats as a pop filter, looks a bit silly with them on, but the sound quality is definitely worth the price. If you're looking for a "fancy cheap" mic, this is for you.

This microphone makes you sound normal, not tinny like when you use the built in mic on the computer. I use it for Zoom meetings. Great mic for teachers. Easy to install. Blue microphones have a great reputation for quality.

The shape, which makes this microphone "cool" makes it hard to pack and carry. The fidelitty is very good. Easy to use, no special software. Solid construction. Good isolation, low background noise. Good buyy for the money

works great on zoom calls so bought this 2nd one for work office. Others comment on great sound quality as well, so have recommended to other. Reasonably priced for quality.
