In this tech roundup on USA Today, check out the first item, the Snowball mic. It's a USB mic and is getting very good reviews. Might it be something worth exploring for us as a checkout mic ($70 going price online). One feature is it can switch between cardiod and omnidirectional pickup. From product description on Amazon: "Create studio-quality recordings with Blue Microphone's Snowball, a USB microphone with exceptional sound-capture capabilities. Using Blue Microphone's award-winning dual-capsule and circuit design, the Snowball produces crisp, clean recordings that are free of feedback and distortion. A unique pattern switch allows you to toggle between three different settings, giving you the flexibility to record vocals, instrumental music, podcasts, interviews, and more. With a plug-and-play design that is both Mac and PC compatible, the Snowball requires no additional drivers and is ready to record straight out of the box."
Also the second item, a new gaming headset, makes the Bose noise cancelling headphones seem like cheap earbuds! Not suggesting getting one of these but if we did I'm sure it would be an in-demand item.

Blue Microphone's Blue Bottle is a very nice mic too; although it's a lot more money than the Snowball.
