    Blue Snowball iCE USB Mic in More Detail

    The Snowball iCE is certainly a robust and solid large diaphragm condenser microphone.

    Easy to set up, you can use it to create CD-quality recordings and livestreams for YouTube, SoundCloud and more. You can significantly improve your audio quality on Skype, Twitch, FaceTime, or any other voice software if you use the iCE instead of your computer’s built in mic.

    It is also easy to create podcasts and add narration to home movies.
    You can even record instruments, vocals and entire bands with good audio quality.

    Powered by a custom cardioid condenser capsule, we found the Snowball iCE delivered clear audio quality. It looked and sounded great. The main thing missing is a headphone port. So you will be relying on your computer’s built in speakers to hear the results.

    And because you can’t direct monitor, you may experience latency if you try to monitor yourself while recording.

    That said, this mic is good value for money, and hugely popular. You can buy the Snowball iCE USB Microphone on Amazon
