As the future seems even more uncertain, it's unclear when people will be able to return to offices. That's why getting a good microphone, so you can talk to your co-workers, friends, and family is important. And if you want to start streaming on Twitch, a microphone is not an option--it's a must. Black Friday had some great deals on USB microphones last week, and now Cyber Monday is continuing them. Razer's Seiren X microphone is still discounted, while Shure's line of easy-to-use USB microphones are as well. And if you're okay with not getting a deal, the excellent Elgato Wave 3 USB microphone is in stock right now.

The vast majority of these microphones work by connecting them to your PC via USB. These include models like the JLab Audio Talk USB microphone for $70 and the Maono USB microphone kit for $50. However, some of these microphones can even be connected to your iPhone or Android, such as the Shure MV5 microphone for $79 and the Shure MV88 microphone for $219. Whatever you need a microphone for, there's sure to be a great Black Friday deal on the right one.

If you're looking for more Black Friday recommendations, check out the best Black Friday webcam deals as well as the best gaming monitor deals available right now. A webcam will help complete your Zoom call presence, and if you're a Twitch streamer, you'll need a great monitor for your game while you use your second display for chat and stream management.

Seiren X USB microphone

$70 (was $100)

Razer's Seiren X USB microphone is a surprisingly good microphone for its price. It's also very simple to use with only a volume dial and mute button to operate. Its precise supercardioid polar pattern makes it an excellent choice for streaming as well.

Shure MV5 USB microphone

$79 (was $99)

The Shure MV5 is a great USB microphone that can also be used with your iPhone or iPad via Lightning cable. This makes it easy to take Zoom calls on your phone and still have great sound--or record anything else when you're out and about.

Shure MV51 USB microphone

$149 (was $199)

The Shure MV51 USB microphone is another great microphone from Shure that lets you connect to desktop via USB or your iOS device via Lightning cable. In addition to the variety in connections, it also has a number of preset modes for different recording situations--these include options for speech, singing, and acoustic instruments.

Elgato Wave 3 USB microphone

$159 (was $160)

The Elgato Wave 3 USB microphone is one of the best streaming microphones you can buy today, and while it's only discounted by $1 during Black Friday--we're guessing that Best Buy is simply price-matching Amazon's slightly lower price--it's still a microphone you should seriously consider buying. It boasts impressive audio and features easy on-board controls that let you adjust your mic volume, headset volume, and audio mix.

Neewer XLR microphone kit

$36.89 (was $50)

If you're looking for a budget-friendly streaming or desk setup, then this Neewer XLR microphone kit is worth taking a look at. Neewer makes quality products, and this kit holds a 4.2/5 on Amazon with over 1,800 reviews. It comes with an XLR microphone, XLR cable, a power interface, and a cable that you can plug into the 3.5mm microphone jack in your PC's sound card. It's worth pointing out that this microphone can't be connected via USB.

Maono USB microphone kit

$55.25 (was $65)

If you're looking for a kit that comes with a USB microphone, then this one from Maono is the one to snag during Black Friday. It comes with a boom arm, pop filter, wind sock, and USB microphone. All you do is plug it into a USB 2.0 port, and you're good to go.

Shure MV88 USB microphone

$199 (was $250)

If you don't have a PC and you want great quality audio, the Shure MV88 is worth looking at. It can connect to any Android, iPhone, or iPad device via USB-C or Lightning cable. It also comes with a tripod, which makes it perfect for meetings and calls with family and friends.
