Truly easy to set up.

What can you say about Blue products? Great quality.

I can't believe the mic sells at the price that it does. However, that was yet another deciding factor for my purchase.

"Excellent."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Sound
just compare it side by side to any other mic besides a tube mic and then compare prices. this one blows them away, on quality and price.
Features
excellent built in shock mount.
Manufacturer Support
I agree with the others, blue always emails me back with help when I need it.
The Wow Factor
It looks awesome too, but that doesn't help the sound.

"Great mic"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

I like My microphones . I've used every good brand out there when it comes to mics. My favorite microphone for a smooth sound is at4050. I like it more than the neumanns. But the presence that the blue dragonfly has is incomparable . Clear , crisp and very enhancive to a regular voice . Fully recommend it to anyone that can afford it .

"Dragonfly: A MUST OWN MIC!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Until i can afford a $2500.00 mic, the Dragonfly more the fits my needs for a great overall recording mic. Great, flat responce, wonderful range... not much more to be said.
Sound
This Mic has a wonderful silkiness and accuracy about it. Especially for wind instruments and hand percussion. Though I have yet to throw something at it that it didn't caprture exceptionally well. It out performed mics with a much larger price tag.
Features
Being a mic, it did not come with accessories, but the screws that are used to hold the diaphram in place after use are a good idea for extending the life of the mic. Also, the built-in shock mount is a really nice design idea and works very well for supporting the mic.
Quality
Nice, tight design. solid where it needs to be, light where it doesnt.
Value
Bottom line, for the money you pay you get 20x the mic! This is an outstanding piece of equipment.

The Wow Factor
Many people say that with a BLUE mic your paying for the name, which is true to some degree. the BLUE mics all have unique design and are very "collectable".

"Affordable work of art that sounds as good as it looks!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
When you find the right place for it, it's one of the best guitar amp mics you will EVER find.
Features
Integrated shock mount saves you from having to buy one. Head can be rotated many degrees for flexible placement.
Quality
Please - B.L.U.E. makes their own screws! Let alone the grill quality, the box and contact quality, etc...
Value
With the recent drop to the $800 range, this is a better value than when they first hit the market.
Manufacturer Support
Who are these JERKS who put a "1" for customer support? Did you ever call B.L.U.E.??? You probably have a phone that say's Fisher Price on it, because I have the dog gone CELL numbers of some of the guys there in case I have problems. Try that with some of the other mic vendors - I dare you!

"OVERPRICED"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
A mic priced at this level should work on vocals too!
Sound
It's pretty good on electric guitars,but please don't think of using it on vocals. It's nasty on all the singers I've tried it on.
Features
no rolloff or attenuator
Value
overpriced...I don't care if Blue makes their own screws!
