Nope, I have a blue snowball and it's the best investment to my setup, I terms of audio, for a couple of years now. YouTube recordings are crisp and clear and talking to people over Skype I can be understood super clear. I advise getting a pop filter for it to reduce the harshness in your 'S's' but there really cheap anyway so it won't break the bank. I have mine on a cheap mic arm which is another thing worth looking at. So you are using Windows 10, and the microphone? Also, any specific pop filter, or mic arm I should get?

Could you explain your set up a little more please? What is this microphone hooked into and with what cables? Are you live streaming and this problem occured? If so, which live stream program are you using? If this was a test recording, what recording software was used? And are your audio drivers completely up to date?
Yes, I'm running the latest version of Windows 10. I bought just a cheap pop filter for £1 so that doesn't really matter, but the mic arm I got is by Neewer. You can pick one up for £14 or so. But if you need a cheaper option then this racksoy is a decent quality arm as well! A mic arm isn't needed and will ever so slightly be in your peripheral vision but you will sound louder due to the mic being next to your mouth and I think it makes your setup look a lot cooler!
