@Killingdance Not a room treatment expert, but it doesn't take one to know that room treatment is EVERYTHING when it comes to mic sound. Good room treatment can make a $20 mic sound like a thousand bucks but bad room treatment takes any good mic and just butchers it. Accoustic foaming on the walls where your voice projects as well as where the echo sounds is more than enough.

I have one of these with the old USB 'B' connector. Use it for twitch streaming, discord. Everyone who has commented on the quality has mentioned the rich sound of the microphone. If you can find one with this connector, i can recommend it as i've personally never had issues with it, and is a massive upgrade on any basic microphone. I've heard of issues with the mini usb version where the connector is less than stable, breaks or becomes loose. I don't know how i've ended up with the older connector, but it's way more stable than the micro usb one, that's for sure

still find it crazy how good the snowball sounds for how old it is. while it may not be the best bang for your buck anymore if you already have one there isnt' really much of a reason to upgrade it unless you are actually wanting to do professional work for some reason people like to hate on this mic and i don't get it i'v owned one for 7 years at this point and it easily blows any headset mic i'v ever heard out of the water I know alot of people recommend the Yeti over the snowball but i just don't see why you'd pay triple the price for a slightly better mic (that is stereo) with volume and a headphone jack. regardless its one of my best purchases in terms of quality and value i don't see myself upgrading it anytime soon unless it stops working.
