First off, the Pros, it really is a professional quality microphone that gives you a clear and crisp sounding voice (most evident when making podcasts/voice-overs/livestreams etc.). The microphone only has the Cardiod voice pickup pattern, meaning it would only pick up sound in front of the microphone (remember this is the Snowball Ice, if you want additional voice pickup patterns such as an omnidirectional pattern, I suggest you buy the regular Snowballs or the Blue Yeti). Now, about the make; it’s build is actually pretty sturdy, the outer shell of the microphone is made up of a very heavy duty type of plastic which gives you the “it’s gonna last a long time” feeling. For 40 bucks this really is the best microphone you can get considering the price, if you can shell in a bit more you could even get the Blue Yetis but preferably if you are starting livestreaming like me, the blue snowballs are a great starter microphone. Oh, and another thing, this is extremely easy to setup, it is literally just what the box says: “plug and play” just make sure that the input device is set to the Blue Snowball microphone.
And now for some Cons, the mic stand it comes with...oh dear lord, all I can say is that it’s pretty much garbage, it gives you limited adjustment and it keeps sliding, preventing you from obtaining an optimal position for your microphone; given this I would suggest also buying a microphone boom arm mount for your desk. Another thing I want to point out is the fact that this microphone can pickup plosives (those popping/distorting sounds microphones usually pickup when one pronounces ‘P’s or other loud consonants) really easily, so I might suggest getting a pop filter as well.
Summary: all in all, this microphone can pretty much float your boat in almost any aspect, it’s cheap price should not fool you as it’s quality definitely does not reflect the low price. Highly recommended!

It's super easy to use. Plug and use without software.
Pros: Good quality, Good sound quality, Good voice reception
Cons: No volume control on the mic itself, No mute button, Too big, tripod too big, low volume during certain in-game communications (might be just me, but I have seen similar experiences online).
The mic for me has been great, but in some cases, with certain video games like CS2, the volume can come as super low according to others. I tried adjusting the input volume but the same outcome. It is fine on communication applications, but for in-game communications, it is a problem.
Another problem is that it is super big especially if you are using the tripod which takes up table space. The tripods are long and can extend out which takes up space. This can be avoided by shortening the legs but it results in it being increased in height and the ball can block certain parts of my screen. I don't use the legs and instead just have the snowball under my monitor. It is a ball but even without the legs it is super stable and does not move.
These are the only problems I have with the mic. I would give it a 3.5 stars. It is a decent name-brand mic for its price.
I put it on an adjustable arm as that works better in my space. The pop shield fits really tight and does a fair job but won't stop a pop within a couple inches of the mic. I think most shields won't. For the price and its simplicity, as well as my own good luck with Logitec products, this is a good little mic.
This thing starts working the second you plug in the USB cable, and the simplicity of just plug in and start talking, is really great. No software needed, no browsing set up guides, no fuss, just plug and play.
The voice quality is perfect for this budget and price range. My voice will still get picked up even if I'm leaning back in my chair, or if I step away from my computer to pick up something in the room. It is definitely an upgrade compared to my last microphone, which was my laptops included microphone that would always pick up the laptop fan, and wouldn't grab my voice unless I spoke directly into it.
Finally the size of the snowball is fantastic. Even when only mounted on the included tripod it doesn't take up much space on my desk, and is out of the way enough to not bother my gaming experience.
If you need a microphone for gaming, recording, or just talking to friend online, this is a fantastic option for the price, and you will not regret buying this at least as your first microphone.
