blue yeti or blue snowball mic?

Hello blogosphere, I am back again with another blog for everyone. Recently i have been checking out mics, I want to add voice commentary to my videos and i also want to do some screen capture videos and i would like to have a studio quality mic to record my audio. I have tried other mics in the past and the audio quality just isnt there, the kinda mics you plug into a 3.5 jack. I am sure you have seen them or at least the port if you have used a computer in the last 15 years or so.. The port is always right beside of the audio jack.

I have narrowed it down to 2 mics, both are fine studio quality mics, The blue snowball and the blue yeti. Although both have their advantages and disadvantages. Both are very nice looking mics and take up very little desk space ( although i must admit the snowball takes up a little less space). i am going to post pictures of both mics so you can see what they both look like





This is the blue yeti mic, its a nice thin mice with tis own stand and is a usb mic. I like it because its a thin mic and tilts to pick up the sound.

the yeti offers 
  • Tri-capsule array - 3 condenser capsules can record almost any situation
  • Multiple pattern selection - cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional & stereo
  • Gain control, mute button, zero-latency headphone output
  • Perfect for vocals, musical instruments, podcasting, voiceovers, interviews, field recordings, conference calls
  • Plug 'n play - Mac OS X (10.4.11 or higher) and PC (Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP)

but the snowball (which i am leaning more to)





















which offers

  • Custom condenser capsule offers crystal clear audio for Skype, Messages and FaceTime
  • Record vocals, create podcasts, and add narration to your home movies
  • Add crystal clear audio to recordings for YouTube
  • Easy plug and play directly to your Mac or PC - no drivers to install
  • Ships with desktop stand and USB cable

From what i have seen online the blue snowball works the best for what i plan on using it for using it for and the sound quality seems alot better from all the youtube videos i have watched on usb condenser mics.. Anyways i am going to end this here . thanks for reading and leave your comments below...
