Good value quality purchase
Slightly larger unit than I would have preferred, but performs very well picking up speech from two participants clearly and performs much better than the laptop microphone

no software?
without customizable settings, the over sensitivity leaves something to be desired. the quality of the sound is very nice, but picks up a bit too much noise.

Exactly what I was looking for to make simple guitar music recordings at home
Love it!. Clear, perfect sound. The only thing it could do better is improve my guitar playing skills :-)

Good value mic (though no 360)
Good value at this price. Though it's not advertised as a 360 mic, from the appearance we thought it might pick up better to side... still need to speak into it. Would be nice to have optional "handle" for holding mic but included desktop stand works as advertised.

Not Wireless
Many of the descriptors indicate this is a wired/USB microphone however the specifics indicate wireless. This is a wired microphone.

Hi! you are definitely correct. The Blue Snowball Ice Microphone is definitely not a wireless device. Currently Blue doesn't make any that are wireless. -N from Logitech

It works better with Audacity
When the volume of my recordings was too low, I tried an equalizer. I was disappointed when it was still low and I was about to return the Blue Snow ball. My daughter suggested that I download Audacity and try it. And it worked! It is clear and recording at 48-52% is working for me. Be sure to select the correct microphone in Audacity. I also got a pop filter. You need ...

Worked for zoom calls and online teaching
Works as advertised. It has some limited range for music abilities but an overall easy to use mic.

Great purchase for all live streaming and recording sessions.
Great to attach to computers and mobile devices (provided you but a separate Otg cable). The outcome seriously differs.

Very nice
I got this mic about a year or two ago, to my surprise it still works. I have accidentally knocked this mic off my desk so many times by now that you'd really expect some form of damage, but it's still in perfect condition. It is very durable and does a very good job at being a microphone.
