🎙️ USB Blue Snowflake Microphone Review

One of the best portable USB powered microphones. It's compact for travel, you fold the microphone head down and leave it protected in the carousel. The back of the mic head is a solid silver surface that won't snag when you put it in your pocket. You can detach this item to hang it on your laptop monitor as an anchor. I use this personal for skype or video recording in a big room. It easily recognizes and records my voice even when I'm across the room. Distortion may occur if you touch the…

I had a Blue Yeti but was looking for a decent portable USB mic to use when I'm out of the office. When I found this Snowflake model, I bought it immediately.

I've been in situations once or twice where there was a loud ambient noise nearby, like an air conditioner or a noisy computer, and the mic didn't really pick up those sounds. Being a USB mic there is no way to adjust levels other than

Microphone with decent sound but the details are excruciating. The cable is 3 meters long, which is very short. My desktop is on the floor and I had to find a longer cable. It's one of those devices that, in 2020, still uses a mini-USB connector instead of the near-universal micro-USB. When I first received it I struggled to remove the plastic case, I had to use a screwdriver to pry it open.
