I didn’t realise building a streaming setup could be this cheap – this affordable mic has hit an absurdly low Prime Day price

I’ve always assumed that building my own streaming setup would be super-expensive, requiring me to drop a few hundred quid on a premium condenser mic. But it turns out starting out on Twitch is as easy as picking up the HyperX SoloCast for £25.64 (was £36.89) at Amazon – maybe it’s time I considered a career change?

Now that a pretty decent Amazon Prime Day discount on an already seriously affordable product, saving you £11.25. But, more importantly, it actually brings the SoloCast down to its lowest price ever, meaning it’s a deal you really can’t afford to miss.

Amazon Prime Day deal: HyperX SoloCast

In our original HyperX SoloCast review, we praised this mic for its ease-of-use, thanks to its plug-and-play connectivity. But we were also impressed by its sound, with the mic doing a very credible job of picking up our voices without too much background noise.

Additional features like a tap-to-mute sensor and an adjustable stand make launching into recording a piece of cake.
