While condenser microphones with a boom arm are nice for a home office, they're not portable enough for a setup that will work after returning to a hybrid office/WFH life.
Ideally, that portable setup would have no boom arm, no pop screen, no huge microphone.
The best candidate I've found so far is the Audio Technica ATH-G1 Gaming headset (reviewed by the excellent Podcastage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMgyh7Ne5ng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMgyh7Ne5ng).
In my opinion, the sound quality isn't quite comparable to high quality condenser microphones like the Blue Yeti (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2BNAF3u5lc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2BNAF3u5lc) or dynamic microphones like the Samson Q2U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjCJbhjFYiA&t=6s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjCJbhjFYiA&t=6s), but it's 90% of the way there and significantly more portable.
- tauntz 6y agoI can recommend the Samson Go Mic if you want something portable but decent audio quality (http://www.samsontech.com/samson/products/microphones/usb-microphones/gomic/ http://www.samsontech.com/samson/products/microphones/usb-mi...)
