I bought this as an upgrade for my Blue Snowball iCE but when I opened the box I immediately noticed that the emblem was completely detached. what was done badly in production, could I glue it with superglue or just send it back, I haven't decided yet. The volume knob also seems to float and has a lot of play from side to side. The knobs on the side are the same as others have described and they just feel flimsy, you can't really tighten them and that bothers me over time and the many mic tilts. Actual sound quality is very good and better than Snowball, but build quality is definitely worse. I also ordered a regular size Yeti (due tomorrow) so I can update this review after seeing the quality but I have to say it was a big disappointment for me I got more of the $99 - Expected blue.
