You're right. A dynamic USB mic is a solid and simple choice. Nothing wrong with that. I don't have any resources for comparing the audio of airpods. Just personal experience and observation of other people's usage. Not sure where the line noise would be coming from. Perhaps there's some RF or electrical noise that's being picked up from the computer. Computers can be super-noisy and introduce all kinds of RF and electrical interference, not to mention fan noise. Short of being far away from your computer or isolating it in a cabinet/faraday cage I'm not sure of the best way to prevent certain devices from picking up this noise. I can only cover it up or remove it after the fact. Also, I was a little hasty in my statements. I was picturing this tutorial more on the spectrum of audio for Zoom calls and casual correspondence. If you're producing a professional video or something of high-production quality AirPods are not going to be ideal. I don't mean to discount your work. That's my mistake.
