BLUE Snowball iCE Versatile USB Microphone with HD Audio - Colour Black

The best thing about this microphone is its ease of use. It really is a matter of unbox it, screw part A to part B, and plug it in. Everything else just happens. The next best thing is the quality. It is a very sensitive microphone - one doesn't have to eat the blessed thing to get it to hear one loud and clear. My only gripe is that the stand it comes with is not very adjustable, but hey, I can go for the expensive remedy and buy another stand - it has a standard mounting arrangement - or go for the cheap option and grab a couple of books out of my bookshelf to prop it up on. Oh, and the red light that shows that there's power on to it stays...view more The best thing about this microphone is its ease of use.

Oh, and the red light that shows that there's power on to it stays lit even when the computer is turned off, and it glows like some malevolent cyclops in the night, but again, that's not exactly the end of the world. If you're looking for a quality microphone look no further, this is the one.

The microphone is good but needs a mute button and an adjustable stand.
Easy to set up too. The microphone is good but needs a mute button and an adjustable stand.

We set this up in our boardroom.
It is able to pick up the audio for everyone in the room well.
It was quick and easy to install.
It has an echo sound when used that isn't the best.
But I assume that is because we are using it for audio in a large room and not for just one person close up. We set this up in our boardroom.

When I first started using this my mates notice a huge difference in my voice it sounded so much clearer and when I told them the price, they were surprised When I first started using this my mates notice a huge difference in my voice it sounded so much clearer and when I told them the price, they were surprised

My son loves ! He uses for online gaming and people comment on the quality My son loves ! He uses for online gaming and people comment on the quality

Was just what I needed for really good amateur audio recordings. Am very happy with the quality at a very reasonable price. Was just what I needed for really good amateur audio recordings. Am very happy with the quality at a very reasonable price.

I purchased my first BLUE Snowball about 6 months ago and have found it to be a fantastic device. Working in IT and on Teams meetings all day, having the BLUE Snowball has been a blessing. People are able to clearly hear me now. The only issue is, my kids have seen how good they are, and have borrowed it for their gaming and not returned it. I have now purchased my third one, and I'm hoping to hold onto it. I purchased my first BLUE Snowball about 6 months ago and have found it to be a fantastic device.

This mic is great, I heard many good things about it before hand as well and it's exactly what I expected. I highly recommend it. Quality of the recording (it's function) and the build quality so far is great. I love having it. One of the best pruchase I made.

Have been using for a month and it works well with PC, PS4 and Switch. Great sound quality. A bit bulky and it has no volume control and mute button. If you don't mind about that, this microphone is highly recommended. Have been using for a month and it works well with PC, PS4 and Switch. Great sound quality.
