 Podcasting bliss Jun 25, 2008
This has been a joy to use. It worked straight out of the box with no configuring required. Combined with the free tools Audacity (for sound recording) and Levelator (for setting levels), it is perfect for podcasting. I'm using it with Windows XP; can't vouch for other operating systems.
 Do Not Get This Microphone If You Have Vista Jun 20, 2008
I normally am skeptical of the really harsh reviews left on any website so I'll be honest up front and say I was caused a ton of hardship by getting a computer with Vista and trying to make this microphone work with it. While in Windows XP you get good quality sound and it works as advertised, it is completely useless with Windows Vista.
I would like to give it a five star review for it's performance but I cannot give the highest rating knowing that people may purchase this product and find that they've spent $100 for something that does not work with their machine. If you have Vista, do not buy this microphone. Blue does not provide an update for Vista for this product.
If you have Windows XP, it's excellent and well worth the investment.
Excellent value May 23, 2008
Excellent value. I use it with Garage Band and it interacts flawlessly. No noticeable lag time, crisp clean sound, omni-directional flexibility.

 No luck on Windows XP Apr 11, 2008
Bought this mic on the positive reviews here - could not make it work on my Windows XP system. Manual stated that latest firmware was already installed, and no drivers required. I went to the website, and found many issues in the forum on use with Audacity, and in general not working.
Brought my Samson USB from home to try - no problems at all.
Be sure you verify that it will work on your system from someone already running - wished I had looked into the company forum prior to purchase.
Seems like the Mac people have had better luck than the Windows users.
Also, included stand does not work good. You can raise the mic, but it does not stay - just slides back down.

Impossible to set up Feb 09, 2008
I heard many good things about the Snowball microphone and so i decided to purchase one. Big mistake. This microphone won't even playout through your speakers, the only way to use it is through a program like garage band, gross. I just want to record vocals into Magix Music Maker, sure it records them in, but you can't listen to what you're recording. Sorry Blue, better luck next time.
