Mic Questions

[RyRyJS]

I got a blue snowball. I’m worring that I should of got the yeti. I will be using it for discord and other voice chat.

Thanks in advance!

First off, you should shorten your title and elaborate way more in the body of your post.

Second, if that's all you're doing with it, have no worries, it will suit you just fine.

You can use a $12 headset for adequate voice chat,  don't stress.

The BlueSnowball is an OK mic. It has a very high noise floor though. It's designed to pick up everything. I recommend the 2nd mic setting as this will reduce background noise. However you must move the mic closer to you. 

 

The snowball also ages rather poorly. The plastic chrome will corrode in certain places. It also can sometimes cause massive interference which has to be solved by moving the mic setting switch rather. 

 

Mind you this might not happen depending on where you live.
