Gabby dad might like Meteor Mic

If the guy on your Father's Day gift list has the gift of gab, then he might really appreciate the new Meteor Mic by Samson. The mic features a chrome-plated body with retro styling, and the fold-back leg design allows for optimal positioning for any recording application — from Skype to podcasting. It comes with a stereo headphone output, and a microphone mute switch gives you audio privacy while video conferencing. There are no drivers required. The mic can be directly connected to any computer and is compatible with most computer-based digital audio software. A USB cable and protective carrying pouch are included. Available for $99 at most Best Buy stores.
