hey guys welcome to another mkbhd video here we have the blue snowball which I like to call the snow baller because it's easily the best USB microphone in this budget as you might remember I've said that in a previous video anyway this video is actually a giveaway video sponsored by blue so just give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment of the color blue snowball you'd like to win there are three colors and one random comment will we pick to win their own blue snowball and their color of choice directly from blue so if you aren't already familiar with the snowball here's the basic rundown it's a plug and play USB microphone designed for those who want affordable really high quality audio this will blow just about any built-in microphone and a laptop right out the water around the back of the mug you can see that you have a switch between three built-in patterns cardioid a 10 decibel padded cardioid and omnidirectional now while people getting this mic might not need all these bells and whistles it's a great place to start and start learning how these things work this mic also comes with a pretty sweet little plastic tripod stand that's actually surprisingly versatile pretty nimble I didn't think it would be enough for me but it actually works just fine on my desk and lets me use it at a number of angles to suit me best and the mic is also light light enough that you don't need to buy a better stand to use it this one will seriously do just fine so I think you get the point this mic is definitely worth buying even if you don't win one from your comment today especially if you're looking for a professional sounding audio on a tight budget so what you're listening to you right now is unedited audio from the blue snowball right away this is just straight from the USB microphone plug and play no enhancements whatsoever as you can hear for the price or even for any USB microphone this sounds really good so I have no problem with using this for YouTube and you can probably tell why I rated this is one of my highest microphones available for any sort of YouTube video producer someone who's beginning so overall what would I rate this microphone well definitely for sound quality it could be better but then again this is better than most other USB microphones so I'm going to go ahead and give this a 7 out of 10 for audio quality both construction like I mentioned in the video is mostly plastic but it's fantastic plastic there's no problems with it seven and a half out of ten and for ease of use this this is hands-down one of the easiest microphones to use 10 out of 10 wonderful job from blue there and overall I give this micro and eight or an eight and a half is this is a great mic for beginners on YouTube and again if you want to win one make sure you leave a thumbs up on this video and leave a comment of one of the three colors available that you can win directly from blue that's basically it guys thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys in the next one peace you
