If you are into home recording or podcasting, this bundle features two elements that are made to help you achieve your goals without blowing up your budget — the Shure X2u XLR-to-USB mic adapter for hooking up your favorite mic to your computer, and a pair of SRH240 headphones for accurate studio monitoring.

X2u XLR-to-USB Mic Adapter

As home recording flourishes, the Shure X2u adapter redefines what amateur musicians and podcasters can do in their homes and on the go. The X2u mimics the sleek, beautiful design of Shure's iconic SM57 and SM58 microphones and can be used unobtrusively for live and in-studio recording.
