From the Manufacturer
Featuring Blue Microphones’ renowned circuitry, the Snowflake is a professional quality portable mic that combines a USB bus powered capsule with a class compliant design to make the Snowflake truly plug and play on both Mac and PC. Not just an eye-catching design, the Snowflake is highly functional. The mic folds into a single compact case which also houses a USB cable for easy transport in a laptop bag or even a pocket. Unfolded, the case serves as a desktop stand or a laptop clip, making the Snowflake a natural for everything from podcasting, calling over the web, narrating a home video, or sketching out a song idea on the go. Where Do You Put It? The Snowflake’s unique design allows you to place it on a desk or flat surface near your computer, or mounted to the screen of most laptops. Gently grasp the top and bottom halves of the Snowflake mounting box and slide them away from each other (figure 1, on the right). You’ll find the USB cable snugly (more…)

Perfect portable mic
This is an excellent mic. I am so glad I purchased it. I love the form factor. It matches my MacBook Pro perfectly.

Great Mic

Not a Pro but Great Quality!

A few minor quibbles, and some important limitations…
It is a well-built and useful design. However, there are limitations that a choosy buyer should be aware of (beware of).

Good but not great
I recently purchased the Blue Microphone Snowflake for use in recording lectures for podcasting. The workmanship of the microphone was not as good as expected.

Great mic!
