Home recording bundle: ATH-M50x over-ears, Focusrite Scarlett interface and mic kit $249 shipped ($410+ value)

Having a home recording set-up on your Mac can be a pricey endeavor, even if you’re just a beginner. From the already expensive Mac, to the audio interface, speakers, mics and more, we are talking hundreds or even thousands of dollars here. Buying each of the elements individually certainly isn’t cheap, but every once in a while we see some very notable bundle deals pop-up that can be a very smart buy for those just getting into music production at home:

Today, Adorama is packing in some serious home recording essentials into one, neatly priced package. You can pickup a Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones in black, a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2 In/2 Out USB Recording Audio Interface and a Samson MTR101A Studio Microphone recording kit for $269 $249 shipped. Based on the best current prices for each of these items, you are saving as much as $140 in total. Even at the lowest prices we have seen for each of the three items, this is about $90 in savings.

The best selling Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones are among the most popular home recording options and have received a 4.7/5 star rating from over 1,800 Amazon customers, much like the rest of the popular ATH-M series headphones. The Scarlett interface also gets great reviews at 4.3/5 stars from over 750 and the mic sits with a 3.8/5 star rating.

The Scarlett audio interface will work with just about any DAW (recording software) you can think of and will support analog audio recording via its built-in pre-amps (mic, guitars, more). Full feature lists on all three items can be found below:
