45% off/$16.50

Tonor Direct (98% positive lifetime feedback) via Amazon is offering its USB Microphone with Stand and Pop Filter for $16.49 Prime shipped with the code OMTZIV9H and when you clip the on-page coupon. Normally retailing for $30, this saves you 45% and is the best we’ve tracked. Whether you’re calling into Zoom meetings or wanting to stream your next Call of Duty match on Twitch, having a quality audio setup is a must. This microphone requires nothing more than a free USB 2.0 port and doesn’t even need drivers installed to function. The cardioid pickup pattern helps block-out unwanted noises from outside of the microphone’s range and the included shock mount helps cut down on vibrations. Plus, you’ll even get a pop filter to help clean up your audio even more. Rated 4.6/5 stars from thousands of happy customers.

If you’re running out of free USB ports on your computer, use some of your savings to expand that by picking up this 4-port hub. Being the #1 best-selling in its class on Amazon, you’ll only spend $8 here, which still leaves some cash from today’s lead deal in your pocket.

For those who don’t have USB-A on their computer, today’s lead deal does support USB-C natively. However, you’ll likely want to pick up an adapter like we found earlier with Aukey’s 8-in-1 USB-C hub. It not only delivers three USB-A 3.1 ports, but also Gigabit Ethernet, SD/microSD, and more for just $32.
