My son loves this thing for gaming with friends and YouTube recording.
My son absolutely loves this mic and wanted it so badly for Christmas, it was easily his favorite gift
My son (15) says it works as expected and that he's pleased with this microphone.
Exactly what my son want it perfect microphone for the computer
My son was VERY PLEASED with what he received, the Blue Microphone snowball was EXACTLY what he wanted & asked for., & Its was EXACTLY what he got, which pleased him immensely& THAT iswhat matters most to ME
the sound quality is just WOW! and for the price I would honestly say this is one of the best budget mics
Great budget mic, for this price the quality you get from it pretty much good, i using it for gaming (talking with people on skype/discord/teamspeak) and it meets my expectations
its a great budget mic its better to get a boom for it then use the stand that comes with it tho lol.
This is the best budget mic you can get for youtube plus more
and your budget is EXTREMELY limited as mine is, then look no further
This could be a good thing for many people, but for gaming I do not recommend it.
That is a good thing about the mic because I ended up using my studio mic stand for recording.
While this microphone picks up when your sister is doing naughty things in the room next to you and your headphones are too loud for you to hear it, the quality is stellar
but i have wasted nearly a month to start recording and streaming just to get that thing to sound good,
only thing it needs it own volume button, so you are not deep throttling the mic.
I found that not to be the case for this instance as well as I've recorded multiple videos for Youtube and I love the quality of this microphone and i'll probably have this microphone for a long time
It eliminated a ton of ambient noise and was easy to sync with my videos
Be forwarned though that it is very sensitive, so watch those exterior ambient noises when recording
Summary: all in all, this microphone can pretty much float your boat in almost any aspect, it’s cheap price should not fool you as it’s quality definitely does not reflect the low price
I can record voiceovers with ease, not worrying about ambient noise making it into the recording
This Mic is good but it picks up a LOT of background noise
I use it to record ASMR videos for youtube and it doenst pick up background noise so its perfect.
Good for the price or a starter mic, picks up too much background noise

and i relized my mic was as good as if i was recroding it on a potato, so i went out and bought this, thought it would be a rip
Only issue I've had is a known-issue with snowball mics where sometimes blue snowballs in particular do not always play nicely with other mic devices if you have to change between default audio microphones often, and sometimes when attempting to switch back to using the Snowball (especially coming out of Sleep) will find that the audio doesn't pick up until I perform reboot or unplug replug the USB
This is apparently a known issue with this mic and USB 3.0 - and not even a reboot seems to fix it
Does not work with windows 10 seems to be a known issue with usb mics that has been around since windows 10 was released.
You are reading snippets from reviews of Blue Snowball iCE Condenser Microphone, Cardioid - Black
A "Pop Filter" stops the explosive "P" noises that you hear when you say a "P" word close up into the microphone
The only major gripe is the issue with wind and popping but a cheap pop filter would easily fix that
I recommend getting a cheap pop filter and a Neewer stand if you are streaming/recording
Another thing I want to point out is the fact that this microphone can pickup plosives (those popping/distorting sounds microphones usually pickup when one pronounces ‘P’s or other loud consonants) really easily, so I might suggest getting a pop filter as well
