The company known for USB condenser microphones, such as the Snowball and Yeti, will join Logitech's existing portfolio of brands.

Blue flogs microphones which are worth between $60 to $4,000 (for studio-grade hardware), and they're used by podcasters, musicians, and any other consumers who need higher-fidelity audio than what they get from the built-in microphones on their devices.

Logitech wants to make sure Blue's devices become just as essential as its own wireless keyboards and mice.

Writing in its bog, the company said: "For Logitech, this is a new space. But, at the same time, it's not at all. Gamers are already using our Logitech G webcams to stream. People are video calling with friends and family thanks to Logitech every day. And in business, our audio and video know-how is apparent every time a video meeting takes place at the office. Joining up with Blue and their microphone lines is a logical adjacent opportunity with great synergies."

It is important to have a company with synergies otherwise you spend a lot of time cleaning up after it.
