If you ve only got $50/£50 to put toward upgrading your recording setup, you ll get the most bang for your buck from the Blue Snowball Ice. This older desk mic provides surprisingly good audio quality, more than enough for starting your streaming career. It s also easy to use - just plug it in and hit record, with no software or additional equipment to install. However, in terms of both audio quality and features, the Snowball Ice can t compare to microphones in the next price bracket up, which starts at around $100/£100.
