The Snowball Ice Microphone has been on our radar for a long time. We originally bought this microphone in February 2016 and reviewed it in Issue 33 (January 2017) and loved it. Alas, after eight years, it was time for a new microphone. We went with what we've come to love and recently re-purchased it.
Logitech bought the Snowball brand and all its components in 2018, approximately one year after our purchase. We're cool with Logitech accessories, so this didn't deter our purchase once again. Be aware that the Blue brand was initially retired in 2023, but the Snowball is still sold under Logitech's G brand if you're thinking of buying.
The microphone is still quality gear; we still get crisp audio for input and it's still easy to plug and play. We've tested it with Adobe Premiere Pro, OBS and Audacity and got great results. And, best of all, it's not much more expensive than when we first purchased it. We've gotten proven results from the Snowball, and we'll return to the brand when it's time to purchase once again.
Price: $29.99 - Amazon; $49.99 - Logitech G
Where to buy: Amazon, Logitech G brand website
