 Good value for money Dec 29, 2008
I love this mike and the whole attitude the company has.
Just read the manual and you can see what I mean :-)
Just good value for money!
Great mic for poscasting Dec 20, 2008
I found this mic to be reliable and it has great sound. The included stand is mostly useless, but that seems to be true for most USB mics. If you are a podcaster or if you're doing some basic home video work or watch me videos with Camtasia, this mic is a great solution.
Excellent Sound and Value Dec 13, 2008
This is an amazing microphone. I am using it with Audacity recording software and the quality is really impressive. I was able to get good sound quality for my acoustic guitar with very little effort. I also have recorded vocals and it comes out sounding natural, not thin or pinched as some mics will. As advertised, you just plug it in and go, no additional software to install. You will need some type of recording software to use it properly. I have tried it with several software packages including Audacity, Goldwave, Sound Forge and Acid. Works well in every case, although Audacity is my favorite. I highly recommend this mic, it is a great value.

 Major Disappointment Dec 09, 2008
This mic is a major disappointment. It is a great idea and *when it works* it honestly sounds very good (at least within this price bracket and as a USB mic). Unfortunately, that's where the praise stops.
I've had this for almost two years, used it off and on and it's had constant problems. First was the extremely low gain (fixed eventually with a firmware update) and from then on it's gotten more and more flakey about working at all (on both XP and OS X - Tiger and Leopard). Now I can't even get it to recognize when I plug it in most of the time. But hey - at least it lights up.
I've done a LOT of searching online to try find suggestions to try get this thing working, but honestly all I'm finding is a ton of great PR "reviews" where everybody talks about what a neat product concept it is. Unfortunately, this mic does not deliver the goods and to make things worse, Blue's customer "support" on their forums is the worst I've ever seen. (Seriously, you owe it to yourself to check the forum out before you buy this mic - http://www.bluemic.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=18&sid=3218fb6d8f310b1b5fda2eeebdb33a59 )
Blue's got a good reputation for high-end mics, but after dealing with the Snowball they won't ever be seeing another dime from me.
Big mike with good sound and a good value for money Dec 03, 2008
I was surprised how big it was I expected something a tad smaller. I got this for a Mac Pro using OSX Leopard 10.5.5. Only tested with voice so far no musical instruments. The sounds is pretty good though I found one has to be fairly close to the mike in order to get clean background noise-free sound and a good volume, i.e. level of recording. The sound quality of the recordings is very good with a very nice range. Setup was a snap. Plug-it in and go to the Sound Control Panel in System Preferences under the Mac OSX and select the sound input to USB Microphone - that's it. I recorded with it in Soundtrack Pro and worked really nicely.
