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
My son absolutely loves this mic and wanted it so badly for Christmas, it was easily his favorite gift
My son loves this thing for gaming with friends and YouTube recording.
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
and your budget is EXTREMELY limited as mine is, then look no further
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
The blue snowball microphone is a very convenient yet affordable budget mic, although the stands that come with it isn't the best, you can always hook it up to a boom arm to make it a bit more useful
Terrible customer service, and while it has great audio quality, it is sadly a worthless product if it doesn't work, and the company refuses to help fix the issue and instead just asks you switch it
It stops picking up audio and its just a bad product overall...
Great product for beginners very good material, no flaws
It works great for everything and is a all round good product
Nice product, I don't know how to write reviews , but this product is not bad , It's not the best either , but it's good
This could be a good thing for many people, but for gaming I do not recommend it.
This microphone is great and the quality is very good for the price, easy setup, and the only thing that annoys me is the fact that it can pick up background noises.
This could be a good thing for many people, but for gaming I do not recommend it.
Also, another great thing about this mic is how easily it works with recording software, and the fact that I can take it anywhere, and not feel like I am going to break it
That is a good thing about the mic because I ended up using my studio mic stand for recording.
Brilliant mic with very good audio recording quality, 10/10 would recommend to a friend
But overall it's a very good quality microphone, would definetely recommend purchase for anyone who is looking for a cheaper, high quality recording mic
Disappointing audio recording, not significantly better than my mic and speakers headset.
I'm writing this review to keep from smashing it on my desk over-and-over until it explodes after it ruined yet another recording by filling it with tons of mini-gaps
As for the voice quality, it's remarkably good at capturing voices at this price point with a clean and clear recording
This microphone does a poor job of ignoring ambient noises, such as key strokes on a keyboard.
My husband and best friend both mentioned that Blue Microphones were a very high quality product, as well as by looking at other reviews I was ready to make my order
Be forwarned though that it is very sensitive, so watch those exterior ambient noises when recording
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
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
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
Does not work with windows 10 seems to be a known issue with usb mics that has been around since windows 10 was released.
This is apparently a known issue with this mic and USB 3.0 - and not even a reboot seems to fix it

A "Pop Filter" stops the explosive "P" noises that you hear when you say a "P" word close up into the microphone
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
I recommend getting a cheap pop filter and a Neewer stand if you are streaming/recording
The only major gripe is the issue with wind and popping but a cheap pop filter would easily fix that
