    One of the best mic for a home studio

    Comments about Snowball USB Microphone - Aluminum 988-000068

    Pros: Clear Sound, Versatile, Easy To Use Cons: Other thoughts: Easy to use, no setup, just plug in, talk or sing... That is how I want it. I use it for music recording. Unlike the other condenser mic I use, requiring separate power supply and M-Audio interface, this mic offers great sound quality without the cable hassle... the quality of condenser mic without ergonomic compromise. You won't regret it.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Comments about Snowball USB Microphone - Gloss Black 988-000069

    Pros: Clear Sound, Versatile, Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Lightweight Cons: Other thoughts: The Snowball mic was recommended by a friend who has a small ad agency and uses it to voice commercials. I do a lot of recording as a hobby using the GarageBand program on my iMac. This mic not only works great on the vocals but also picks up my acoustic and nylon stringed guitars much better than the Shure mic I had been using. So far, I have not found anything negative to say about the Snowball. I will say this...don't let the looks fool you. I was aware of this mic for a couple of months and didn't consider purchasing it because I thought it looked a little weird. I'm glad my friend turned me on to it.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Not Sure Just Yet

    By KikiKowalski

    From Kansas City

    Verified Buyer

    Pros: Easy To Use, Durable, Compact Cons: Sounds is OK Other thoughts: So far I've had a mixed experience with this mic. The sound quality hasn't been as crisp and clear as I had hoped. That may have something to do with the computer it's connected to a well. It's still a work in progress. I was impressed with the construction of the device though. Even though I got it on sale, it doesn't feel like a cheap throw-away item. I'm pretty sure in time I'll get the audio issues figured out, so I wouldn't want to give a bad review of this mic. It just wasn't the panacea I was hoping for.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Snowball Mic Exceeds its Value

    Submitted 14 years ago

    By Wyrd

    From Hamburg, NY

    Verified Buyer

    Pros: Versatile, Clear Sound, No assembly, Compact, Need no audio knowledge, Visually Appealing, Easy To Use Cons: Bulky/Heavy Other thoughts: This mic is ridiculously easy to use--you just plug it in, and you're good to go. It has terrific sound quality, and multiple settings help you get the exact sound you're looking for. For sound pros, this mic is a bit simple and lacks a lot of adjustment features, but for those wanting near studio quality sound for a really good price, the Snowball is your best bet.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
