I had used numerous microphones for IP intercom system in the past but none provided the clarity and volumethat this product provides.
By Meta S. Brown (Chicago)
I have an audio-technica atr5300 headset and have been struggling to record a decent audio track for a video. My voice is fairly soft, and although I never had any trouble making a good recording in a small studio with older mics, reel to reel tape, etc., volume has been a big issue for me with digital recordings. The recordings I made using the audio-technica mic were not cutting it at all. I was filtering out noise and then amplifying as much as I dared, and still had too little volume and unpleasant sound as well.
A friend lent me a Blue Snowball, and my troubles disappeared! I could have used the recording without any editing at all! No problem with volume, nice sound quality. This is a terrific product.

This was an impulse purchase during an Amazon Gold Box showcasing of the mic. I'd been looking, without success, for a mic that could equal the sound I was getting from the studio mics at the radio station, which uses professional Sony's costing close to five hundred. Each of the mics I tried was either lacking in bass or overly "sibilant" or "pop"-prone or susceptible to all three problems. I started with the Blue Snowflake and, to be honest, didn't notice any difference in the sound of the spoken voice with the more expensive Blue Snowball microphone. But the Snowflake has a problematic design. Its not made to stand on a desk or similar surface, and it's unforgiving hard-metal makes it impractical to clip the gizmo to any but the thinnest computer screens. Moreover, the Snowflake tends blow in the wind with the least movement of the computer, adding to the challenge of positioning it in an optimal relationship with the speaker's elocutionary apparatus.
So the Blue Snowball, though not sonically revelatory, is a more stable mic than the Snowflake. You can easily set it up alongside a computer and place some sort of pop filter in front of it, making it a more practical mic than the Snowflake. Moreover, while some of the mics I've looked at (including the Snowflake) have gone down in price (at least marginally), the Snowball has gone up, suggesting that it's a popular, in-demand item with some resale value. And if you're not obsessive about colors, you can save a sizable chunk of change by going with white (it's called a "Snowball"--remember?) rather than brushed aluminum or black (admittedly, both of the latter colors are more flattering to the company's logo, making "BLUE" unavoidable to even the casual observer's eye--but if price is secondary to color and style, you may as well wait for the inevitable: the release of a Blue Snowball in--as though you hadn't guessed--blue!).
Finally, though it's not getting the respect it deserves, the Samson "Go Plug 'N Play" is the handiest, most portable, best-designed (and awkwardly named) mic I've found for use with a computer, and it sounds as good (at least when recording the human voice) as either of the aforementioned Blue's. Also, it's priced in line with the Snowflake rather than the Snowball (though by now I've acquired enough of these things to host a convention of snowmen).

The Blue Snowball microphone will make a very nice addition to your collection of tech-toys. First of all, it is a great looking microphone! It has kind of a hip-retro look to it and ... welll, it just looks great sitting there on my desk! The microphone inside seems to be of very good quality. The microphone in my imac is also a very good microphone but the advantage I see with the Snowball is that it can be stationed where you need it to be. If you want to try to improve the sound of your podcasts then the Snowball might be a good first step and at less than$100 it is a bargain.

I'm a singer/songwriter, and coming from a flimsy $15 USB mic, I may not have the knowledge and knowabouts to compare this mic against others of the same price, but all I do know is this mic is absolutely amazing. For the price, the quality of my voice and guitar jumped 10-fold in my songs. This is probably a better purchase for in-house studio recording than an expensive guitar or amplifier. I would recommend this to anyone that plans on acoustic/vocal recording.
PS: Make sure your walls are padded. Even on the narrow recording setting this mic has, it can pickup some background noise and echoes.
