For the money, you can't beat this microphone. I am very satisfied with the product, the company is another thing. I had some pre-sales questions, just 4. They were too busy to answer my questions, imagine that. Sure hope I never need any support. While it doesn't say anywhere, you do need to have an XLR cable for this. Wish they had a choice of colors for the foam, blue is not my favorite color, would have preferred black.

This WAS my third attempt at purchasing a microphone for some Web Based Multimedia Training that I am developing. The other two manufactures that I purchased were junk. They hissed and popped and just plain sucked! I was at my witts end. However, this Microphone by Blue Mic was an excellent investment. IT WORKS GREAT! I plugged it in and away we went. I use the Adobe products it worked out of the box with both Captivate and Presenter. I highly recommend this microphone.

I bought this for my daughter to use with her Mac. She has really enjoyed it and the sound quality is good considering the price. It was easy to set up and has not given us any trouble thus far.

Test drove this thing at a buddy's house last night and it rules. We recorded a full band situation from the middle of the room and also close mic'ed some guitars. It all sounded great. We tried every setting. To the previous reviewer, maybe Blue doesn't support Vista much because Vista sucks? Just go back to XP or upgrade to 7.

This microphone is an excellent microphone that has a flat frequency response from 100 hz to 2khz. It does have a bump in the 2khz to 10khz which provides some sheen for higher vocalists, but can also provide some "esss" problems for certain singers. The easiest ways to fix this is to point the microphone between the upper lip and under the nose, or simply using a de-esser.
Now onto the microphone (paired with a Grace m101 pre-amp): Great clarity, relatively low self noise, and very beautiful to look at. For acoustic guitar and mid range male vocals, such as mine, this mic is an excellent choice. To best use the bluebird to its fullest potential, I think you should really sing close into it. I found that there was a huge difference from a couple inches away to 6+ inches. You'll get your money's worth if you don't fear the mic!
Accessories: The provided pop filter doesn't really do a great job, but I think everyone that is getting into recording should buy a... Read more

This microphone sounds very good on everything I've tried it on. Running the mic through a DBX 376 mic pre, I was able to get some great vocals. Though to get a good amount of clarity on the consonants I did have to ask the singer to back up about six inches from the mic. Being close in, the mic just didn't pick up the T and S sounds. With that adjustment, the mic did a good job on vocals ending up with takes the singer and I were both happy with. It didn't blow me away, but it sounded good. I've used it on a combo amp with good results as well as acoustic guitar and mandolin with better results. Not blown away, but overall happy with the way it sounds being a two to three hundred dollar mic. What I really don't like about this mic is how the look of the design and aesthetics of the mic are clearly more important to blue than the functionality. Getting this thing in and out of the shock mount is a bit of a pain as it threads into it. I just know I'm going to mis-thread... Read more

As always, Blue comes out on top with aesthetic design. Simply put, there's no manufacturers left that make mics that looks as beautiful as these! But mics are all about recording and the Bluebird is no slouch - it's a great all around mic, but I found it perfect for vocals, stringed instruments, and some light percussion. Highs are crisp and the plosives seemed controlled.
I like this mic so much I bought a second one not even 6 months later - highly recommended! Came in a velvet blue lined wood box, though the Birdcage shockmount doesn't fit inside for storage. :-(
