Eyeball Webcam is a classy way to Skype

CNET's Donald Bell reviews the Eyeball Webcam from Blue Microphones.

The Eyeball sounds great, but it looks more like a loose leaf tea strainer than a Webcam. Donald Bell/CNET

Webcams aren't the first product to spring to mind when you think of Blue Microphones. The company has a solid reputation in the pro audio world for making high-end boutique microphones, but they've been slowly dipping their toes into the waters of consumer audio products, such as the Snowball USB podcast mic, and its baby brother, the Snowflake.

Now we have the Eyeball, a $99 Webcam that borrows on the design of the Snowflake, but leaves behind the intolerably cute product name. We compared the Eyeball with the Logitech Pro 9000 and the MacBook's built-in iSight camera and microphone.

To see and hear the results, check out our full review of the Blue Microphones Eyeball webcam over at CNET Reviews.
