Review on Blue Snowball Condenser Microphone Cardioid by Jerry Chembola

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Watch out for the blue microphone

This is an updated review as my journey with this awful thing hasn't stopped. When I first bought it in 2017, the mic worked great for 2 weeks. After these 2 weeks, my whole sound sounded like it was in an aquarium. I had to send it back the first and second time: Revain did an excellent job replacing defective microphones. The third time I had to contact the Blue Microphone company themselves, who took 3 months to reply to me. They only replied to my email when I sent a follow up email asking me why there was no reply. I was finally able to send the microphone back to the company. After trying intermittently for about ten months to contact the company to request a refund, I resorted to reporting it to the Better Business Bureau. At that point I came to the conclusion that this mic is just a lost cause and the right thing to do would be to just give me my money back when they literally ignored it for months after I had already sent it back. I learned that Blue Microphone often does this. I don't know where all these positive reviews are coming from because this is a terrible company. Blue Microphone didn't respond to BBB, instead they sent me a new mic. I don't even want to use it because I'm already fed up with it and will just assume this new mic is a piece of junk too. Based on experience with previous mics, why shouldn't I think about it? What turns me on is knowing that if I didn't report them to the BBB I wouldn't get a response from them. Think about it: this company sold defective microphones, customers sent them back, and you won't hear from them again unless you click on them. Blue Microphone, you're not very good company. Buy from Blue Microphone at your own risk. See other reviews of them from BBB. I would not recommend anything from this company to anyone.
