I have heard this as well so I have got one. To my big surprise people on video calls can not tell the difference whether I am using the snowball mic or the one built in the webcam.

The Blue Snowball Ice looks similar to the Blue Snowball, but isn't as good.

If your webcam sounds as good as the Blue Snowball, either your webcam has an excellent mic, or you could improve your audio quality by either:

- speaking closer to the microphone, or

- sliding the switch on the back to position 1
