"Good singer songwriter mic"

If you sing and play acoustic guitar and track separately, This is a perfect mic for that. Its very good at bringing out the detail and sparkly tone of the guitar to the point of being almost tactile. And with voice it has a very clear and intimate presence.

"Great pro vocals"

I have owned this Blue blueberry microphone for about 9 years and it still delivers on sound. It has a real smooth but clear up front sound that sounds amazing . I run it through a blue robbie preamp and comp 3A compressor and it produces a truly professional sound. It has been a work horse in my studio. I recently bought a tlm 102 and tested it for 6 months. I had put my blueberry mic away because I had used it for a long time and wanted to try a different microphone sound out. Now the tlm is also a great mic, but after going back to my blueberry microphone its a big difference. The clarity and presence is definitely better then the tlm 102. Buy the blueberry, you won't regret it.

i just started recording a new album in my studio, and this mic sounds sweet. it brings out the subtle nuances of the vocalist with ought adding too much color. gives a lot of headroom to play. this is my first high grade solid state mic, and I'm in love! btw its gorgeous.

"Great mic, limited applications"

I've had this mic for over 10 years and use it primarily for vocals where it excels. It is bright and airy but I wouldn't use it for a source where you wanted some beefy low end. If you want one mic for all kinds of things I would look elsewhere. If its primarily for vocals where they need to cut through the mix, this could be the one.

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

Sound
NICE SOUNDING MIC,IT'S A LITTLE TOO TOP ENDED (TREBLE)BUT NOT TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S TINNY. WORKS FAIRLY WELL ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR,PIANO, AND VOCALS
Features
NO ROLLOFF,OR ATTENUATOR SWITCHES. STILL WORKS WELL ENOUGH IN MOST SITUATIONS WITHOUT THEM.

"Ok. not all that"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I connected this mic to wa73 through apollo twin.. raw sound this feels like a dark kinda low tone but didn't really detect the top crispy many say... makes me wonder if they applied eq when tracking. Raw vocal seemed a bit under and after I mix vocals came out good but not great. For me the neuman tlm 103 sounded better to me than this. in my op.... so it was ok mic not bad but not best. Was not wowed at all by this.. should be more like a 699$ mic not 1k.

"BLUE GANGSTA!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Great looking mic with equal capacity to perform. With a mic like this its up to the engineer to tweek the sound cause theres no doubt the mics done its job.
Sound
Although the mic has an airy essence to its highs, it creates a very smooth sound with very even output. If youre looking for something thats just for vocals then take this Blue over the Dragonfly otherwise I think the Dragonfly is more universal.
Features
Cool options that are blockbuster bling bling, like the custom pop filter and the shock mount. Motivates its users to a whole new level.
Quality
Doesnt get much better than BLUE when it comes to quality. Each mic is tested before it leaves manufacturing and is hand built.
