Pros & Cons
Pros
Blue snowball is one of the most popular microphones for beginners.
Very high quality audio, with the simplicity of usb plug and play. The quality is fantastic and people have commented that my gaming streams sound a lot better. Good audio quality and reasonable price.

This mic is great for livestreaming. It will last longer than a gaming headset. The sound quality is much better than any other gaming headset or lavalier mic.

Price
If the price is as same as ice it was in my case this still is a good option
I purchased one that was used and from the amazon warehouse as there was £10 knocked off the price

Sound is a big leap over the standard pc mics or lavalier mics
I dont know how they can sell these at such a cheap price compared to what your getting
