!±8± Is it Better to Buy the Blue Microphones Snowball Mic Online Or at the Store?

The Blue Microphones Snowball USB Condenser Mic is the newest tool in home recording mastery. This is a plug and play microphone, meaning that all you need is a simple USB chord and either a PC or a Mac. Individuals who understand what a great investment this is still naturally want to get the best deal possible. But does this mean you should buy your Blue Snowball online or at a "real-world" retailer?

The fact of the matter is that it is almost always better to buy online. You're virtually guaranteed to find a better deal, as a physical retail outlet is in competition with all the other stores of its kind in your local area, whereas an online store is in competition with hundreds of similar outlets worldwide!

As the competition goes up, the prices go down... in some cases, way down! Buying your Snowball USB Condenser Mic at a store (especially if you pay sales tax in your state) is honestly just throwing your money away. I can almost hear you now. "But what about shipping?"

Again, we're talking about a competitive market here, and companies are not only slashing prices (that sounds so infomercial-esque!) by like 30 to 50 percent, they're also offering FREE shipping as an incentive to make you their customer.

This is great news for you, the consumer, because you can simply sit in one location and shop to your heart's content until you find a deal that inspires you to pull out that credit card.

You can literally have your Blue Microphones USB Snowball shipped free to your door and begin using it to immediately start doing podcasts, recording vocals, or capturing sweet guitar licks! Oh, another note about this mic is that you can literally take it, along with your laptop, out to the woods or a park and record in nature! It's a very cool mic, for sure.

So other than maybe missing out on having a captivating conversation with your local instrument dealer and listening to "the next big thing" wail away on a guitar he or she can't afford, there's really no comparison between getting your Snowball mic online or offline.

Online wins 100% of the time - unless you can find a used USB Blue Snowball at a yard sale or thrift shop, which is obviously far from likely... not to mention potentially kind of shady.

Well, I wish you the best in your microphone shopping adventures. I hope this has helped!
