The editors liked

  • Easy setup
  • USB connection
  • Very sturdy stand
  • Dualcapsule design allows switching between cardioid and omnidirectional modes
  • Powered by USB cable
  • Quality sound production
  • Friendly manual and easy installation make getting started a breeze. Lowsensitivity setting is perfect for recording loud sounds (also works great with drunken cohosts)
  • The Snowball is an extremely sturdy and stylish multipattern microphone that plugs directly into your computers USB port with a minimum of fuss.
  • Very easy to connect
  • No software or drivers required
  • Fantastic performance

The editors didn't like

  • Cool look but a bit bulky for portability
  • Could use a longer cord
  • Bulbous
  • Forget cramming this 4inch globe into the messenger bag with your laptop. Jokey endorsement from North Platte Star Trek Fan Club president on page one of manual is highly illogical
  • Beyond USB
  • The Snowball offers no other audio outputs or inputs
  • The recording mode switch isnt intuitively labeled
  • And no recording software is included.
  • Larger size may be hard to place on a crowded desk

  • The Snowball is an extremely sturdy and stylish multipattern microphone that plugs directly into your computers USB port with a minimum of fuss.
  • Beyond USB, the Snowball offers no other audio outputs or inputs, the recording mode switch isnt intuitively labeled, and no recording software is included.
  • At this price, youll have a hard time finding a better-sounding, better-looking, or more easy-to-use microphone for your computer. Just dont expect the Blue Microphones Snowball to replace a studios worth of recording gear. Price range: $84.95 - $11...
