I can the product itself succinctly say it meets my requirements in terms of quality and four stars earned. So I could be satisfied.
BUT (and this part is not flowing in the assessment a):
By the result sought by Blue USP "Design" (which is a selling point for me represented at any time), this microphone, in my opinion, stylized into a lifestyle product. And here's the rub: Since the microphone would be in the future in connection with the "Ringer" on my desk, I wanted a matching color combination. If already, because already. A white Snowball seemed here as stylistically unattractive and also black I felt fit as not really. Third alternative of colors was "brushed aluminum". In the photos, this looks very dull and seemed most likely to match the "Ringer". But when I had a good piece with me, I realized that the microphone, which should have the color "brushed aluminum" also according to the packaging, in a chrome gloss look came along. It looked thus far from the "Ringer" from suitable. For "brushed aluminum" lacked the characteristic stripes and it was too much too bright and shiny - even compared to the pictures on Amazon.
Here Blue could easily do without color gimmicks and should bring only one version that has the same color as the "Ringer" on the market.
For this reason I have finally ordered a black Snowball and the "Chrome" -Snowball returned. Although the black fits well not perfect for "Ringer", but much better. Too bad that is CO2 caused by these "lifestyle" object unnecessarily factor for transport. On the other hand I could not see that the color is so different. This review preserves hopefully one or the other against my mistakes repeated.
