Shure’s Digital USB/iPhone Mic drops to $55 ($100 direct from Apple) + more from $40

Reg. $100 $55

Guitar Center is now offering the Shure MOTIV MV5 Digital USB/Lightning Condenser Microphone for $54.97 shipped. Regularly $100 and currently marked down to $90 at Amazon, this is one of the best prices we have tracked on this professional-quality mobile/USB mic from Shure. Apple sells this one on its official site for $100 as well. You’re looking at a plug-and-play USB mic for your Mac or PC as well as included adapters/cables to run it as an MFI solution for Lightning-equipped iPhones and iPads. Features include the ever important headphone monitoring output, an anodized aluminum desktop stand (also carries a standard 1/4-inch camera tripod thread), and three DSP-based recording modes to optimize for vocals, a completely flat response curve, and one specifically for instruments. Rated 4+ stars from over 1,200 Amazon customers. More details below. 

But if it’s just a simple USB microphone your setup requires, you really can’t go wrong with a Blue Snowball iCE USB Mic. You can score one for $39.99 shipped at Amazon right now, which is $10 or 20% off the regular $50 pice tag and within about $5 of the Amazon all-time low. This one is specifically ready for your Mac and PC systems right out of the box with a 44.1 kHz/16 bit recording resolution and a solid 2-year warranty. It is easily among the best bang for your buck USB options (even when it isn’t on sale) and makes for a great alternative to today’s lead deal. Rated 4+ stars from over 22,600 Amazon customers.
