This is a review of the Blue Snowball USB Microphone. We'll go over general features, detail the good parts, and get into detail of the negatives I found(or didn't find). So first of all I've been dealing with pro audio in many forms for years now. So with that, I've collected quite a few microphones in that time.

When I first got my sweaty palms on the blue snowball microphone, I was pleased with the style and feel of this USB mic. The reproduced sound quality was very clear, it didn't have any high-end sound fragments while still keeping the low end rich and true. You know, there was no vigorous distortion. I have to admit, this mic is on the level of some $500+ microphones. Which is typically how much you'd have to spend to get that nice clean and full-range quality that you want. Since it used USB technology to interface with your computer, there's no need for an audio interface or screwy proprietary driver software. It's as easy as plug and play.

Here's Some General Features of The Blue Microphones Snowball Microphone:

* USB Output: The USB output enables direct integration with a desktop or laptop computer, allowing CD-quality recording
* Dual Capsule Design: The dual capsule design incorporates omnidirectional and cardioid elements to give you a choice
* -10dB Pad: A -10dB pad switch eliminates noise and distortion when capturing signals at extreme volume levels
* Accessories Included: A desktop stand and USB cable are included so you can begin recording right away

With these features and high end sound quality. This clean and affordable microphone is ideal for internet broadcasts, podcasts, open-mic compositions, voice-over projects, and quick-and-easy live recording via your computer. I found that it was money well spent, and it's a nice addition to my home studio setup. Along with that, it just so cool how it stands there. However, the usb mic does have been known to have problems in the past working with Windows Vista.

As far I know, the blue snowball usb was updated to correct this problem. I didn't experience any problems, maybe that's because I don't use windows vista.:-) There is a Blue Microphones Snowball USB Microphone Bundle available if want to get even more professional. In conclusion, this condenser mic has sturdy construction and tight sound.
