Amazon is now offering the HyperX DuoCast RGB USB Condenser Microphone down at $59.99 shipped. Regularly $100, this is up to 40% off the MSRP and the best price we can find. This model launched last summer at $100 and after falling down into the $70 range in May, it has now dropped again to match the Amazon all-time low. As you might know from our hands-on review, this is one of HyperX’s mid-tier models that still delivers a notable solution for streamers, podcasters, and more. Its features are highlighted by its customizable RGB light ring, a pair of polar pickup patterns to accomodate various recording situations (solo, group discussions, and more), and a built-in analog converter that supports resolutions up to 24-bit/96kHz on PC, PS5, PS4, and Mac.
