- fy20 6y agoYou missed "rather terrible". The other day someone on our sales team did a presentation to the company, and they used the microphone on a $3 headset - I practically couldn't hear half the things they said because the audio was so muffled. This is someone who has calls with people all day! If you record any audio or make calls with people outside your organisation, for the love of God, please invest in some sort of microphone upgrade. Even the $20 no-name Chinese microphones you get on Amazon are miles better than what is built into laptops.
- callesgg 6y agoWhile I agree with you get a better microphone. Buying Chinese crap is a lottery I bought my self a Chinese condenser microphone 60usd that thing is worse than my iPhone headset. My lesson when it comes to buying quality is to only buy name brand things.
