Sound: The Blue Spark was my first professional mic purchased and it has exceeded my expectations. It delivers a high quality sound for vocals or instruments. Ease of Use: It's very easy to use It came with everything you need right out of the box the only thing you need to buy is the cable to connect it. Quality: Excellent construction all metal (no cheap plastic) and beautiful design. Great package with a wood box. It's a Blue microphone at very affordable price I got mine at zZounds for a fantastic price! Value: Yes, this is a very professional microphone for the price, you can expend a lot more money for other brands that may no be much better than the Spark Manufacturer Support: No problems so far The Wow Factor: Great sex appeal! nice orange color beautiful box the look of the packaging is grand with a logo silk screened on the wooden box containing documentation plus the mic, a spider (shock) mount, and a pop screen with BLUE logo. Overall: AS I became more proficient with my recordings I would explore more microphones from the Blue company

Sound: The sound that comes out of this Mic is pure clarity! This mic blows the G-Track usb mic, I previously used, out of the water. I love how you can the way the mic picks up vocals, by simply clicking a button. The Dynamic range, when the button is out, is incredible (when you have a nice, tight and quiet space to work out of). It does pick up some unwanted sonic waves if you don't have an isolated space to put the mic in. Lucky for those people there is a solution. Just click the button at the bottom of the mic in and you get a tighter more crisp sound. I actually use the button clicked in most of the time, even with my air tight vocal booth. Mostly because I make Hip Hop music and a dynamic range is really needed much. I use the button popped out for singers. Overall a great mic for great quality vocals and instruments. Feature: The mic is fantastic and I also think the pop filter that comes with looks amazing. However, I don't think the pop filter filters much at all. Due to the fact that it's soooo close to the mic. I also have a regular pop filter that I put about 5 inches in front of the Blue pop filter, which is what I would recommend to whoever buys this mic. I'm also not much of a fan of the shock mount. The mic looks way too fancy for the shock mount that it comes with. I feel like it takes away from the beauty of the mic ... but I guess to each his/her own :)... This mic does not come with any cables so make sure you order that along with your mic!!! Ease of Use: To get this mic to work all you'll need is an audio interface and a cable to connect the mic to your interface. This mic does not come with any cables so make sure you purchase that along with your mic. Now this is a great mic but to get a great sound out of it you don't want to use a weak interface. I run this off the focusrite DSP 24 with 2 award winning mic pre-amps ... so the sound I get out of my mic is incredible ... Think about that if you don't get the sound you're looking for... Quality: Product looks and feels sturdy ... chrome finish gives it that class A look ... I'm very impressed with Blue Mic's for this product ... great price for the value!!! Value: GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE!!!! Manufacturer Support: I haven't needed any support for this product but I did contact ZZounds reguarding the cables and they were very helpful in getting me all the info I needed... The Wow Factor: The mic itself and pop filter, I would grade an A+ is sex appeal... I took away a point for the cheap looking shock mount... Overall: I fell like the mic is amazing and a product that will be a part of my studio for many years to come.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
