    I might buy two of these USB-C condenser mics at $12 a pop.

    I’m no microphone professional, but Neat’s Bumblebee 2 USB-C mic has been a great addition to my setup. It’s small, makes me sound pretty good, has 3.5mm audio monitoring, and can be removed from its stand to mount. Usually around $30, it’s down to $11.70 when you enter the code LEVEL22 at checkout over at Woot.

    GaNsta’s paradise.

    Someone had to do it, I guess? BMX, the charger company launched last year by the founder of Hyper, launched a lineup of gallium nitride-equipped chargers called…GaNsta. It sells multi-port wall chargers with different output speeds starting at 70W for $60, going up to 140W for about $90 (it has similar specs to Ugreen’s $65 model).

    It’s now easier to gift Steam games, even if you don’t have an account.

    Valve has made improvements to its gifting processes in Steam, particularly for guest shoppers without an account. You can buy games, not just gift cards or hardware. You can also gift games to an email address, even if it’s not associated with the giftee’s account. Easier cross-region gifting, too. Good stuff.

    Note the “Enter email” section that has been added. You don’t need to know the recipient’s Steam account, or have them added as a friend.

    The iPhone Air and its MagSafe Battery are a combined $200 off.

    Best Buy has a great price on the unlocked iPhone Air that launched last September. It’s $839.99 (originally $999.99) in all colors for the thin phone with 256GB of storage. Pair that with the phone’s MagSafe Battery for $59.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, and you’ll see why Allison Johnson got hooked on the Air.
