- Blue Yeti USB Microphone for $119
The Blue Yeti microphone has been a hot item since Covid began 1 year ago, and is still rarely ever discounted from its $130 price.
Target had listed it for $117 around Black Friday, and there have not been any deas since.
Even stores like Best Buy and Staples exclude their coupons from discounting this quality microphone.
Today, Amazon is selling the Blue Yeti for $118.27, black color only.
It plugs into the USB port of a computer, and provides some of the best quality audio for consumers, without buying musician-grade gear.
We use our Blue Yeti for audio recordings, Zoom meetings, Google Meet video calls with family, and making YouTube videos.
For best quality, use the knob on its back to adjust the usage pattern modes knob.
While in Cardoid Mode, it can pick-up audio coming from your direction without picking up echo from your speakers.

- Sennheiser Headphone for $25 (repost)
Sennheiser HD 2.30i Headphone is on sale for $35 at Newegg.
Available in Black or White color, for Apple devices or for Android devices.
Its reviews are mostly positive, with high marks on comfort.
It has flat pads that rest on top of the ear, which should feel more comfortable to wear than headphones that "cup" the ear.
Since it does not "cup" the ear, people nearby may be able to hear.
It also has 3-button remote control and microphone that allows call answering and volume control for mobile devices that have 3.5mm audio jacks.

- Pair of Floorstanding Speakers for $229
A pair of Jamo S 809 Floorstanding Speakers, Black in color, for $229.
Similar speakers normally sell for about $630.
They are 41 inches tall, according to the specifications.
They are not cheap, however.
The company runs just one sale every year, and today is their last day of their annual sale (unless they extend it for the rest of this week, which they have done in past Cyber Monday weeks).
Deals on the list include:
Mod2 Surround Sound System starting at $1299.
Includes a 150-watt Polk Audio subwoofer and 2 orb speakers for each surround sound channel (center, front-left, front-right, back-left, and back-right).
Good for medium-size living rooms.
Mod1 Surround Sound System starting at $724.
Includes the same Polk Audio subwoofer as above, but 1 orb speaker for each surround sound channel.
Good for average-size living rooms.
Booster 2 Soundbar System starting at $699.
Basically the same as buying a regular soundbar but the orb speaker look instead of a long rectangle.
Includes their own "sound booster" which is a tiny audio receiver, a 9" subwoofer and 4 orb speakers on 2 tabletop/shelf stands.
All speakers come with stands meant to sit on a shelf, and the kits include a subwoofer because the small orbs cannot produce low-range (bass) sound.
They can provide floor stands and wall-mounting brackets, but you must call them to have a sale package customized. Update (12/1):
They extended the sale prices through the end of this week.
