I review gaming mics for a living, and these are the Prime Day microphone deals I'd buy

pcgamer.com:

There are a lot of mics on sale for Prime Day this year, some much better than others. I've tested a ton of desktop microphones over the past few years, and if you're looking for a deal that'll make you sound good, here's what I recommend based on each budget.  

If you're all about that sound quality, then let me tell you, the Shure MV7 podcast mic is an absolute game-changer. Seriously, I can't recommend it enough for streaming and podcasting. In my years of reviewing mics, this one takes the crown. And it's currently on sale for $199 on Amazon, which is over $100 off its regular price.

Shure is a beast at making high-end, professional microphones, and its attempt at bringing its pro-grade sound to a slightly less pro-grade price is a home run. The only thing we're not too keen on is that it uses Micro-USB rather than Type-C, but it's well worth the investment to give your voice recordings the professional boost they deserve.Price Check: Walmart $229 (Black) | Sweetwater $249

In our review of the Shure MV7, we noted that what sets it apart is its hybrid nature. You can connect it directly to your PC using a USB cable, or if you prefer, hook it up to an audio interface using an XLR cable. It's super versatile, giving you options to suit your setup perfectly, and the vocals it produces are simply stellar.

The black version of the MV7 is only discounted to $250, which is a bit odd, but the silver version offers the same outstanding performance and looks nicer if you ask me. 

The MV7 doesn't have a desk stand, so investing in a boom arm is necessary. Personally, I use the Rode
