    • This mic had clear crisp sound on a Mac using Garageband
    • sound is good, size is perfect for my desk
    • I'm tempted to say it's the perfect laptop mic, clipping to the top cover more securely than the Snowflake, whereas the Yeti is ideal for desktop use, producing rich-sounding recordings rivaling those of a professional studio's Shure SM7B mics.

    • Excellent sound for the price.
    • Great sound, picks up on the right sounds.
    • Amazing sounding mic and well built but without there 5$ app you have to buy that gives sound canceling there is a LOT of background noise even in a silent room.
    • Wonderful sound and great weight
    • This little USB mic has crisp, clear sound and is way better than using your internal microphone.
    • I can't say for sure whether the sound is better (I'm by no means an audio expert, and the snowball was just too quiet to really be sure), but I feel like the snowball was warmer sounding, but this mic seems more natural/accurate, if that makes sense.

    • The Snowball was good, but the sound was a little less rich or full than I had expected.
    • The sound is very good, and it even relays what it records through the output

    • The sound it captures is rich and natural.

    • This mic has good sound intake, but it requires a level of power that makes its use with an iPhone impossible.
