This Blue Yeti microphone deal cuts 18% off the price

If you’re thinking about buying a microphone for whatever purpose, such as for Twitch streaming or recording podcasts, you can’t go wrong with the Blue Yeti X. It’s an even more tempting option right now because Dell is selling it with a $30 discount on its sticker price of $170, so you’ll only have to pay $140. We’re not sure how long this deal will remain online, but given the microphone’s popularity, there’s a chance that stocks run out sooner than you think. If you want to get the audio device at 18% off, you’ll have to complete the purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Blue Yeti X microphone

The Blue Yeti X is the runner-up in our roundup of the best microphones for streaming, but it’s also a pretty popular choice for professional-level gaming and YouTube productions. It delivers top-quality sound with a four-capsule condenser array, and you have the choice between four recording modes. Cardioid Mode captures sound sources directly in front of the microphone for streaming and podcasting, Omni Mode picks up audio equally from around the microphone to pick up ambient sounds, Bidirectional Mode records from both the front and rear for interviews, and Stereo Mode uses both left and right channels for realistic sound images.

So you can check if your voice level is too high or too low, the Blue Yeti X features an 11-segment LED meter, and it also comes with a multi-function smart knob that will let you quickly make adjustments on microphone gains, headphone volume, and more. The Blue Yeti X even has LED lights that you can customize to match the aesthetics of your stream.

There are not a lot of microphones that can match up to the capabilities of the Blue Yeti X, so getting it for just $140 from Dell is an opportunity that you wouldn’t want to miss. The $30 in savings on its original price of $170 isn’t going to last forever though, so you need to push through with the transaction immediately if you want it at 18% off. There’s a lot of demand for the Blue Yeti X microphone, and we imagine there will be more interest because of this reduced price, so secure your own before stocks get sold out.

Should you buy the WH-1000XM5 or WF-1000XM5 deal for Black Friday?

Black Friday is here, more or less, with early Black Friday deals being highly abundant at this time. One pair of such deals is for Sony's quite legendary XM5 line, with both the headphones and earbuds being on sale. In fact, a Best Buy early Black Friday deal got me to buy the earbuds and complete my collection.

As a self-described "audiophobe" (I crave silence the way others crave deep bass beats), I've been tempted by Sony's WF-1000XM5 after experiencing the peace and quiet of the WH-1000XM5 headphones. And at their current price of $230, which is $70 down from the usual $300, they were an easy pickup for me. But, with the WH-1000XM5 — the headphones that consistently sit at the top or our best headphones list — down to $300 from a usual price of $400, are the WF-1000XM5 really the best deal for you to pick up at the moment? As someone who owns them both, I'm going to give you the case for picking out each pair.
