I'm seeing one go for above US$ 3K on Amazon right now:

Right now I use the mic on the wire that came with my previous Bose QC35 headphones (I use them with my QC45 because I don't like the bluetooth mic). Let's say I want to step-up my microphone game but I also don't want to spend a ton (max around ~$250, flexible if strongly recommended one goes above it). Does anyone have any good mic recommendations? I just want to sound good and clear. I have medium-to-deep voice but can be nasally often because of allergies.

- flanbiscuit 4y agoha! thank you, this is perfect. Being new to Mics I've never even heard of a Yeti. I'll try out that Shure MV7 as it's in the budget range I set, although maybe the cheaper Samsung Q9U would be sufficient enough for my needs (I only need it for work video conferencing) Are pop filters recommended? Something like this: https://www.bswusa.com/Pop-Filters-BSW-RE27POP-P1419.aspx https://www.bswusa.com/Pop-Filters-BSW-RE27POP-P1419.aspx
- anotherhue 4y agoNo harm, though there are cheaper methods (like old tights). A control board can also be useful as you will be forever fiddling with the volume settings. When they're good they're very good, but the fussiness never ends. e.g. I hope you're happy keeping your head in the exact correct position for an entire 1hr zoom call.
