By Alex Smith published

Shure's MV5 Digital Condenser Microphone (opens in new tab) is a brilliant pick for anyone looking to record on-the-go, as it comes with USB and Lightning cables to connect with tons of devices, from computers and laptops to tablets and phones. It's one of the most versatile portable microphones you'll find, and now that it's returned to its lowest price in history at Amazon, it's even more worthy of some serious consideration.
At $79, you'll be saving $20 off the usual cost of the MV5. Considering it's hardly ever found below $99, this is a deal you won't want to miss if you've been on the hunt for a microphone that can not only connect to your computer but to your mobile devices as well. Both the gray and the black versions of this microphone are on sale today.
This microphone is Apple MFi-certified and comes with a Lightning cable so you can connect it directly into Apple devices like an iPhone or iPad. It also comes with a USB-A cable that allows it to connect to computers, laptops, and Android devices, though you'd need some sort of adapter to plug it into most Android phones and tablets, such as this USB-C to USB-A adapter (opens in new tab). There are some more affordable options at Amazon too.
Featuring three DSP preset modes (Vocals, Flat, and Instrument), it also has the capability to automatically apply gain, EQ, compression, and limiting. There's a built-in headphone output that allows for real-time monitoring, and its stand is made of anodized aluminum and also detachable. Over 125 customers at Amazon reviewed this microphone resulting in a rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars (opens in new tab).
Shure's MV5 microphone ships for free at Amazon, though you'd receive your order even faster with Amazon Prime. If you're not a member already, you can start a free 30-day trial (opens in new tab) to score free two-day shipping, along with exclusive members-only discounts, access to the Prime Video streaming service, and more.
