The mic's cardioid polar pattern naturally minimizes room noise by focusing its audio capture on whatever is in front of the mic, keeping audio pickup of the back an sides of the capsule to a minimum. This is great for content creators who don't have fancy room treatment. The mic comes with its own stand and USB cable, so no need to buy accessories there. Also, the Snow Ball Ice's driverless operation ensures connectivity to your computer right out of the gate: you won't need to download any additional software to have your computer recognize this microphone. Just plug it in, open your recording software or favorite VoIP platform, and your voice will be heard.

Blue Snowball Reviews
I never realized it would be this good
This mic came as a part of the promotion that was going on with the purchase of Audio-Technica ATH M50x headphones. Now, I didn't realize that Blue microphones are produced by Logitech. I have a real studio grade microphone from AKG, so I kind of disregarded the fact that this cheap microphone could produce any quality input. I was wrong. The recording from this microphone was very much usable and the size makes is convenient to carry around when you don't have the luxury to travel with the bigger mics. I wouldn't compare the recording quality with pro grade mics, but for the price you're paying (if someone buys one) this is clearly a good choice.
Blue Snowball USB Condenser Microphone
inexpensive, good sound quality
No Longer Brushed Aluminum
The photos and product name no longer match the product. This is now just "aluminum". A little disappointed with B&H. The mic works well, but it doesn't look great.
Great microphone
I was sketchy about B&H when I looked up ''Blue Snowball'', $39.99 sounded like a sketchy price for a microphone, but after I placed my order, it shipped a few hours after ordering, I don't trust DHL after my phone case was in transit FOREVER they claimed it as ''LOST''. With this microphone though, it arrived in 4 days after shipping. I am a variety streamer and I was looking for a new microphone. Someone recommended BLUE MICROPHONES, so I looked for the cheapest microphone, and Blue Snowball was my only option since the YETI was $100. This microphone has worked ever since I got it all setup and has been working since. Great customer service helping me get the microphone setup.
cool
i simply got a cheap USB microphone that i could put on a boom arm for the simple convenience of not having to use my headset mic. it's better than my headset mic from what people have told me and the convenience of not having to take off my headset to get up whenever is also working without fail. ---CONS-- -The red light can't be turned off -No mute button
Sounds Great
All around it is great. I wish it had a littler more gain when using it on me desk.
It's cute!
I haven't really used it yet.
3rd One, All Have Been Charms
Works as intended for the price. This is the 3rd one I own, and all have allowed me to teach and game without issue
