Apologies in advance if you're looking for a real review this will be more of a rant of how QC did me wrong here's a short though
Pros: Great build quality, micro USB with matching black cable unlike the black snowball that has a white usb-b cable, does what you want (podcast vocal, music recording, skype etc...), easy to use, driverless
Cons: In my particular case they my blue logo badge was missing from my product, no XLR connector (not to worry the USB cable is plenty long for whatever arm you're planning on using) but if your equipment strictly deals with XLR and can't be bothered with adaptars everywhere buy the Yeti Pro which does have an XLR connector but of course at a premium(over $100 premium), or go for the Audio Technica 2020. I's also expensive so I recommend waiting for it to go on sale if you have your eye on this thing I picked it up at $90 CAD on black friday sale.
Begin Rant
I'm sorry to be the negative nancy for this product. I strongly believe in blue products, I do... I bought this product on sale for black friday at $99CAD which was a great deal. All works about as expected but one annoying problem that came up was that the blue logo was missing from my mic out of box. Now apparently the side with the blue logo is the front of the mic which is where you want to speak into when you are using it on cardoid mode. It took me a minute to google what was up but apparently I was just confused because mine simply didn't come with a blue logo. I checked if it was dislodged somewhere but no it's simply missing, and while the product is flawless and works as great there is a degree of quality control from blue that I expect. As such they even have a sticker on the bottom of the mic saying QC Passed. It's a shame I bought it from amazon and I just don't have the time out of my day to pack it up and exchange it via mail because if I could do a quick 1 stop exchange I would. I love the blue branding and I love their equipment, I would appreciate it if they can compensate me with a stick on dealy I'd appreciate it.
Edit: Sorry for the Earlier rant I'm sure I popped the logo off without notcing while unboxing. Apologies 5/5!
