I'm a big fan of theStellar X2 microphone . It is simply the best high-quality microphone you can buy for the money, and I was thrilled to see Amazon is running a 20% sale on the Stellar X2 for Cyber Monday. That puts it at$159,$40 off the regular$199 price tag -- and it's already an incredible value at the standard price.

The reason I love the Stellar X2 is that it's a condenser microphone that has the full, rich sound of an old school radio mic. The quality of this mic is virtually comparable to my$450 Electro-Voice RE20 broadcast mic . The Stellar X2 is literally a studio mic that is used by professionals to record tracks. It's known to be especially good for people who have a bit of nasally voice, and my voice fits the bill there. 

One quick note that because this mic is a studio mic, it uses a professional XLR interface. So if you want to connect it directly to your laptop or your computer to use for Zoom calls and other video calls then you'll need something like theShure MVX2U XLR-to-USB  for that. There are cheaper ways (like this cable for$10 ) to connect the Stellar X2 to your computer, but I recommend that Shure converter for its excellent quality and convenience. 

Here's a quick link to the Amazon deal:
