the Snowball does not have the clarity of more sensitive studio mics, I am very satisfied with it.

For it's price it's one of the best USB mics on the market

I also have recorded vocals and it comes out sounding natural, not thin or pinched as some mics will

In short I don't know if I got two different defective Snowball mics or if there is a compatibility issue or

Now, there are good USB mics out there for under $100, and Blue's Snowball is adequate

I had recorded using other budget set ups like using cheap USB/Firewire interfaces and several cheap mics, as well as simply using my Mac's mic, and the Snowball is an amazing upgrade from those set ups

and I think it it then easily rivals the expensive mics

Had set up some very expensive mics and guess what came out the best!

I love my two older mics and will continue using them

I've used other more expensive mics

These mics are fantastic USB mics for a low price.

This mic will not replace more expensive mics in the studio, but it will let you setup a quick studio wherever your laptop is

This microphone the same quality as any other junky mics.

Blue makes some of the best usb mics and this one is no different
