Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024
So, it's easy to set up. Good ol' plug-n-play technology. Works great for recording into Audacity or whatever your software of choice is. The design's cute, the sound is great, and I love the handy tripod - perfect for balancing on a desk. For a hobbyist, this is just all around fantastic.
My one complaint is so minor as to not lose any stars - the red light on the front of the mic to indicate it's on is a bit bright, and since I tend to get all up in my mic's business while recording it can be a lil annoying. I wish the light were on the side or back instead of right there on the top. I'm planning on getting some electrical tape to deal with this issue, though, so whatever. Just something to take note of.
Also note this iCE one doesn't have the little switch thing advertised on the regular Snowball. I decided to cheap out and get this version, which I'm happy with, but that one looks like it lends a little more flexibility. Which you choose depends on your budget and whim.
Just a great mic. I'm really happy with this purchase, and it's made my show sound loads better.
PROS:
-Comes with a nice stand that you can utilize, stands great on my desk and doesn't fall over if you don't hit it.
-Looks very good and very professional.
-Not too big, roughly the size of a softball.
-Sounds great!
-USB cord.
-Plug it in, and you're good to go.
-Good price for the sound quality you get.
-You can add many additions to the microphone such as a shock mount, pop filter and/or hood with ease.
-Spherical shape allows it to capture great audio even from the left/right.
CONS:
-The microphone picks up background noise very easily.
-Without a pop filter, you'll distort the sound whenever you say a "P" or "B" sound if you're too close. (Happens with nearly all microphones)
-Cord is a bit longer than it needs to be.
-Very top-heavy, so if you do bump it, it will fall down easy.
-Unlike the original Snowball, it only has one recording option.
Overall, I'd give this microphone a 4/5. The microphone is great for what I use it for, except for the fact that it catches a lot of background noise. You can definitely use this to record music, whether it's guitar, drums or vocals, but make sure that you have some sound-reducing foam or padding of some sort around your environment when doing so unless you want to hear the reverb.
Top reviews from other countries
The Blue Snowball is a great device overall and I recommend it if you're looking for something that's reasonably priced and want a decent microphone. Its very simple to use, its a USB plug & play device so just stick it into your PC and its done and works within seconds. The sound quality is much better than a typical headset microphone, it also has a 3 leg stand so it holds up by itself on any flat surface.
The big benefit for me about the Snowball is that it seems to pick up sound so pristinely even when placed quite far away. I often have it slightly away from me on my desk and have never been told I am hard to hear. Another great point is that whenever I'm clicking my mouse or typing on my keyboard you can't seem to hear the noise this makes, that's so useful for a video editor such as myself
Its odd that such an amazing priced microphone with great quality that it doesn't come with any kind of mute button, if you want to quickly mute the microphone you have to manually unplug it on go into the settings on your PC and mute there, its a minor convenience for me as I don't mind that at all but for others it might be a central issue. Other than that this is a top-notch microphone and recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to spend £100 on a professional microphone.
