The editors liked

  • 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 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

  • Abstract:  There was a time when the Macintosh came with an external microphone, right? Do you all remember those disc-like microphones that attached to the side of the monitor or those ones that sat on top, looking down on you like the spaceships from the 1953
