 Fantastic for the price! March 13, 2010
Alan C. Roberts (New York, NY)
Great for very basic home recording. One of the best sounding mics I've ever worked with. Responsive and clear. An excellent all-around microphone for amateurs and semi-pros.
Great Podcasting Mic March 12, 2010
C. J. Bockay (Chicago IL USA)
I wanted to upgrade my recording studio for purposes of starting my own podcast. After extensive research I settled on two different condenser USB microphones: the Technics AT2020 USB and this Blue Snowball USB microphone. Both are fantastic mics, but this review covers only the Snowball. Not only is it a really attractive addition to my studio, but the sound quality is top notch! I really like the 3-setting switch options on the back of the microphone. Not sure I will ever have a use for the second setting which is designed for loud recordings (live performances, etc.), but the unidirectional is perfect for podcasting, and the omnidirectional is perfect for Skype conference calls or for podcasts involving many people in the studio. The tripod stand that comes with it is very sturdy. I haven't yet experienced a situation where low frequencies are coming through the recordings as a result of not having a shockmount, so I'm not sure having one is really necessary here. However, I may end up getting the Ringer shockmount designed for this mic for other reasons: a) to make it look even cooler, and b) to bring the height of the mic up a couple additional inches so that I am not tilting my head downward so much. Great product overall!
Great for Podcasting! March 9, 2010
Johnathon Pate (Arkansas)
I'm in the middle of starting up a new podcast and after reading countless reviews of mics I decided to go with this one. It's a wonderful mic and records perfectly. I would suggest this mic to anyone seriously considering starting a podcast and needing a great mic but have a tight budget!
You'll like this microphone March 6, 2010
Louis Hemmi (Houston, TX USA)
Excellent. My first non-toy microphone. I love the look and feel, and it works great. I must admit I had some trouble installing on Windows 7 machine, but I figured it out. If they had updated the documentation for Windows 7 it would have been nice.
My primary use is for podcasting.
I recommend the product, and the manufacturer's website was a help.
Great microphone!! Computer security limitations got in the way... March 3, 2010
Cammia Magal (Silverton. OR)
I've just started to do audio podcasting at work. This microphone did a great, quality job. I have no complaints at all about the sound.
However, I had a problem with the plug and play due to security restrictions on my computer at work. I work for a government agency and security's pretty tight. I have admin. rights to my computer but I still had to use someone else's computer who had higher rights than I did before I could use the microphone. I used Adobe SoundBooth. I tried it on my personal computer and laptop at home and it was instantly recognized. Just a heads-up for those whose IT departments have got things wrapped up pretty tight.
