This Snowball is no fluff!

Very happy with this product. It has an amazingly warm tone and outstanding built in noise suppression that doesn't distort the quality of your voice. I've used it now for Auditions, Voice Over Work, and my weekly podcast and honestly it performs WAY BETTER then my more expensive shotgun mic or Tascam recorder. If there's a downside to this mic I can't hear it, and the price is literally unbeatable!

Sounds great

I was excited to get his to add to my online video blogs. I knew this was gonna up my game and it has! The sound quality upon play back is amazing. The device it?s self is easy to use. Basically a plug and play module.Plug in to the USB port. The microphone upon falling over received no damage. The stand is not all that sturdy and could be more directional.

Life saver

My kids love to play games on the computer. Sometimes they become so loud in excitement that I sometimes get headache. This microphone is a life saver. Now when my kids are playing with their friends on a call and scream in their ears they actually tell them to slow down because this microphone is do good in pick voices that they can hear my kids whisper. They don't need to speak loud and I'm happy.

This mic sounds good and others have told me its clear. Downside is distance. If it is too far away it mutes out pretty fast.

Pretty good mic. Recommended if using close to your mouth

So far, so good. Have purchased several of these in the past. The legs ALWAYS break. HOPEFULLY not this time. Seems the design could be improved to avoid this issue.

Better than the older one!

I had to replace my original Snowball Microphone and I was so glad to find a good one. The clarity is good, it's a small size, and the newer model stand makes it a lot less likely to get knocked off my desk like the last one.
