Appletell reviews the Blue Yeti THX certified USB Mic

If you’re going to buy one nice mic, why not make it one heck of a mic? I mean, if you have one really nice mic that reproduced sound better than you thought was possible, you wouldn’t want to use any other, right? That’s how the Yeti makes you feel. And actually, it’s more than just a mic. It’s three mics in one with its triple microphone capsule, and it even has a headphone amp built in. And just to prove it’s awesome, the Yeti is the first mic to be certified by THX. Yes, if you’re going to buy one mic, why not make it a Blue Yeti?

Review of the Snowball USB Microphone from Blue

Microphone maker Blue may have hit on the secret formula for success; create an easy-to-use product with a great design that also works really well. The first thing you notice about the Snowball is its physical design. It’s fun without being goofy—a white and chrome ball atop a shiny tripod (also available in brush metal and black). It’s professional without being intimidating. In fact, it looks friendly.

Appletell reviews the IPEVO TR-10i Speakerphone for iChat/Skype

iChat and Skype are amazing programs for keeping you, your friends and your family connected. You can chat via text, voice, or even video if you have the right hardware, which most Macs do. But perhaps you’re a little disappointed with your Mac’s built in mic. Or maybe you have a Mac mini, which doesn’t have one. No matter your reasons, IPEVO has a multipurpose solution for you, it’s called the TR-10i speakerphone. Not only is it a desktop mic, it’s a speakerphone and a handset that can switch between conference calls and personal chatting with ease.
