Hey guys! So lately my friend and I has been playing around with the idea of making like a WAN show type show for my country's setting. (It's Philippines BTW) and the reason for this is because tech here in the Phils is delayed, pricey and no one really makes a show like it. We don't intend to make money off of it and we do it all the time"off set" discussing for hours at a time.

So my question is this a good deal? I was able to find an Audio techinica home/project studio recording bundle and it includes an ATH-m50x (which is was planning to buy for the the longest time anyway), an AT2020usb, a cardioid condenser and a shock mount for around 340 usd.

Also other suggestions or cheaper alternatives?

What kinda price can you find a Shure SRH440 headphone and a CAD U37 microphone for? The U37 can get much louder than other cheap USB mics, so it'd be great for picking up multiple people conversing a bit away from the mic.

Yeah, that seems like a great deal! Seeing as you said pricing and availability is a problem in the Philippines, that seems like a great bundle. All the items in that bundle are pretty great for the price. Happy podcasting!

That is actually super expensive. I would personally only pay $250 for that but then again that might be because of the markup. How much is the AT2020 by itself? Also look into blue snowball and samson meteor. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Everything is fine except for the M50x. They are not worth $170. I would only pay like $110 for them. Get Beyerdynamic DT770 or Shure 440 with 840 pads instead.

Why not the M50x? I was able to try it on and for the money it's really one of the best I've heard.

They got popular because the M50 were at like $75 and they were a great value but they're overhyped and overpriced now. I've listened to a lot of headphones and the M50x is an even bigger waste of money than the M50. The other headphones I mentioned are better for less money.
