Does what it needs to
Good darker sounding condenser mic. My only complaint is that the switches feel extremely cheap. Everything else on the mic feels high quality. The mic is also very heavy.Iâve recorded saxophone and voice on it so far. For alto sax, it sounds great. Very clear and the high ends are not piercing. Soprano sax sounds okay on it. I would need to do more work with that to dial in a better sound. Iâm sure it works well for all woodwinds, I would just experiment with placement.For male voice, itâs good. I would recommend speaking or singing at an angle and with a pop filter because it can be a bit boomy up close. With good mic technique and eq, itâs fantastic.

Top notch
I don’t know if it’s even possible to find something this good for this price. I use it as a reference mic and often the references are kept as the main. The build is extremely solid. Feels like a weapon. The background noise is minimal, keeps much of the room out. Extremely warm sounding but that’s how I like it. Packaging is great. Shock mount is great too even thogh I don’t use it often. I like to use this mic hand held for some reason.

A Standout
If youâre here for the huge price cut these have had recently, this is a no-brainer purchase. Outstanding audio quality, rock solid build, and punching well above its weight class, this mic performs the same as âdesignerâ or âaudiophileâ level gear 3 times the price.

Broken On Arrival (UPDATE)
(UPDATE: 08/30/2022)I ended up getting a refund through Amazon (which I have still not received and it seems like they have no idea what’s happening with the order, so fun) and bought a new mic through Blue’s website. It got here faster than the one I ordered through Amazon, I paid less, and the one I got actually works properly and has the expected build quality of a $400 microphone. I am 100% confident that Amazon sent me a totally used/refurb mic and didn’t pay attention to that. Total incompetence. Amazon has not compensated me for this experience in any way other than offering a refund (which has also been a struggle) so I’m leaving this review at a one star, but it is NOT the manufacturers fault. My new microphone is the best microphone I’ve ever had and sounds amazing, and this is a great product, but Amazon just cannot deliver on certain things and apparently this is one of them.(08/22/2022)The microphone itself was damaged on arrival. I the body of the microphone was loose and there was something broken on the internals of the microphone that you could hear rattling around on the inside of the microphone. This was all things that I noticed literally 3 seconds after the microphone was out of its packaging. Keep in mind for the rest of these discoveries I bought the microphone BRAND NEW!Against my better judgement I took the shock mount out of the package and put it on my boom arm and proceeded to set everything up and… The mic worked. The mic sounded good and everything so I continued to use it for the next 4 or so hours, until I noticed that the capsule itself was rotated around, which to my knowledge, is not something that is supposed to happen. At this point I was already certain I would have to get a refund or a replacement so after I noticed this, I started the process. It only goes downhill from here of course.While putting the microphone and the shockmount and everything back in the box, I noticed that there were a bunch of stickers on the box that were peeling, and on one side it was taped on. I peeled it off and saw a bunch of faded print underneath and damage to the box itself. After all of this, I have come to the conclusion that I received a refurbished or heavily used product when I purchased a new one. I brought this to Amazon Customer Support’s knowledge and they said that they cannot send me a new one, they can only give me a refund. Which, at least they were able to give me a refund (still going through that process as of writing this review) but I wanted a replacement sent, because as I said before, I do like this microphone a lot. I contacted Blue Customer Support about this and was never given a response. So I am a little concerned about what is going on with this order.I am going to purchase another microphone after I get my refund, and if that one arrives in a similar condition as the previous microphone, the review shall stay the same and I’ll never touch any other blue product with a six foot pole, as well as some serious phone calls being made to Amazon’s (so far) lack luster Support team. However If I finally get the microphone that I was promised the first time I bought one, then I’ll review the microphone for what it is.

Sounds expensive, and feels high quality
It makes my voice sound so good itâs crazy, upgraded from a $180 mic to this one, and the difference was night and day to me. This mic does a really good job at defining your voice, a lot of your voiceâs uniqueness shines through, and itâs sounds super crisp. When gaming people compliment my voice and Iâve even had some ask if Iâm using a soundboard, I got it on sale but I still wouldâve considered it at its original. The mic itself feels very sturdy and luxurious, has a nice weight to it to, and the shock mount it comes with is a 10/10.

Warm and very clear sound.
Got it after a lot of research on the internet. I use it for both vocal and video recording. It sounds very clear with a warmer tone. Works very well for my vocal range. Love it!

A nice Mic to Own
If I only get one Mic to own and my budget is $200 and under, I have no doubt I will get this mic in no timeIt sounds good for multipurpose, I have owned so many other mics over the last 25 years at higher prices, but this one is simple yet sounds pro like others of higher priceI’m not driven by hype or even the reviews of those who follow the HYPE, this mic is not hype and is not perfect but at that price, NOTHING is an equal or better period

Beyond expectations
Originally, I had attempted to cancel the order to get the cheaper version but was late to the punch. Ended up being a blessing in disguise as the microphone quality sounds amazing.I had an old Blue Spark microphone from back in 2011 and it broke while I was moving place to place over the past few years. This microphone was far better quality which I didn’t know I was missing until I used this one. Very clear and crisp sound, capturing only what I need it too and not all the extra crap in the background.They say this one has an almost vintage sound to it, but with my current effects rack, I can’t be sure. All I know is it’s got some class to it and I’m so glad I got it. I had been away from music for 3 years and since purchasing this, I’ve been recording week to week on a regular basis. Definitely happy with this and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to up their quality of their vocal performance.

Llego en excelente estado, se siente la calidad al tacto son materiales buenos, la probé con una Scarlett y funciona perfectamente, es mi primer micrófono de condensador y a comparación del blue yeti que solÃa utilizar la nitidez y calidad del audio mejora mucho

Great mic! for the price it’s pretty impressive
Ken –
Very powerful microphone, sound quality is top notch. Does not come with an official “Blue” Pop Filter such as when you order from the official vendor. Will require your own leads.Initially there was a strange buzzing sound but after I unplugged and replugged it in it was gone. I’ve not had the same problem since.
