The Blue Snowball [Review]

Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Blue Snowball [Review]”.
Hey guys welcome to another mkbhd video here we have the blue snowball, which i like to call the snowballer, because it’s easily the best usb microphone in this budget. As you might remember, i’ve said that in a previous video anyway, this video is actually a giveaway video sponsored by blue. So just give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment of the color blue snowball you’d like to win. There are three colors and one random comment will be picked to win their own blue snowball in their color of choice directly from blue.

So if you are already familiar with the snowball, here’s, a basic rundown, it’s a plug and play usb microphone designed for those who want affordable, really high quality audio. This will blow just about any built-in microphone and a laptop right out the water around the back of the mic. You can see that you have a switch between three built-in patterns: cardioid, a 10 decibel padded, cardioid and omnidirectional.

Now, while people getting this mic might not need all these bells and whistles, it’s a great place to start and start learning how these things work. This mic also comes with a pretty sweet. Little plastic tripod stand, that’s actually surprisingly, versatile, pretty nimble.

I didn’t think it would be enough for me, but it actually works just fine on my desk and lets me use it at a number of angles to suit me best, and the mic is also light, light enough that you don’t need to buy a better stand To use it, this one will seriously do just fine, so i think you get the point. This mic is definitely worth buying, even if you don’t win one from your comment today, especially if you’re looking for a professional sounding audio on a tight budget. So what you’re? Listening to right now is unedited audio from the blue snowball right away.

This is just straight from the usb microphone plug and play no enhancements whatsoever and, as you can hear, for the price or even for any usb microphone, this sounds really good. So i have no problem with using this for youtube and you can probably tell why i rated this as one of my highest microphones available for any sort of youtube video producer, someone who’s beginning so, overall, what would i rate this microphone? Well, definitely for sound quality. It could be better, but then again this is better than most other usb microphones, so i’m going to go ahead and give this a 7 out of 10 for audio quality.

Bow construction, like i mentioned in the video, is mostly plastic, but it’s fantastic plastic. There’S no problems with it: seven and a half out of ten and for ease of use this. This is hands down. One of the easiest microphones to use 10 out of 10 wonderful job from blue there and overall i give this microphone an eight or an eight and a half. This is a great mic for beginners on youtube and again, if you want to win one make sure you leave a thumbs up on this video and leave a comment of one of the three colors available that you can win directly from blue.

That’S basically it guys, thanks for watching and i’ll talk to you guys in the next one peace you .
