You know exactly what you're going to get with the Blue Snowball, and that is an accurate and faithful audio recording of your voice regardless of which setting you employ.
I can tell you from experience that I've used this microphone over the years in everything from conference calls with my colleagues, tracking both clean and harsh vocals for music, and live streaming on my gaming PC. In more recent years, this microphone has been marketed on its prowess for streaming, specifically aimed at YouTubers and Twitch gamers with webcams, but also podcasters, too. You're obviously not going to get the same depth of sound and warmth that an XLR microphone running Phantom Power 48V can deliver through an audio interface, but as something you can just go straight into, the Blue Snowball more than delivers. This is because the Snowball features a frequency response between 18 kHz and 40 kHz with its 16-bit sample rate, meaning that voices are always going to be clear and sharp. There's a boldness to the audio reproduction of the Blue Snowball which makes this model immediately stand out from the crowd in the field of cheaper USB microphones, however. Simply plug it in, watch that red light come on, and get to work in whichever program suits you best.

This microphone is about as plug and play as they come - there's no need for an audio interface, nor any specialist software you need to wrap your head around. The Blue Snowball defines what an affordably priced USB microphone can sound like in the homes of the everyman, and this is achieved through its easy-to-understand and unintimidating nature. This can be remedied by wrapping the cable around something heavy but it's by no means a perfect solution. It doesn't help that the power lead itself is quite stiff and bulky too, often turning the mic head itself despite my best efforts to tighten it below. I'm hoping in the future that Blue can get with the times and give us a more modernized input method for, arguably, their most popular model of all time. The cable used to supply juice to the device is a mini USB, which, on top of being increasingly uncommon nowadays, just isn't as eloquent as the likes of USB C. One criticism I do maintain though is the power input method.
