It felt like the foam did improve audio quality but I think the only thing that measurably reduced noise from outside was solid core door. Pricey though! Agreed

Agreed that a good microphone is a huge help. I currently use Elgato Wave:3 which is not as fancy as one can go.
- gunnarmorling 3y agoThanks for that post, quite the journey! If you're looking for a new mic, I can recommend the Rode Procaster, it's a a dynamic mic which hardly does pick up any ambient noise whatsoever. I am very happy with it, it should be quite close to your mouth though (not everyone likes that), and I had to get a pre-amplifier (CloudLifter) for some extra gain. Without it, volume was a bit low. Here's a write-up of my set-up touching on the mic and some other stuff: https://www.morling.dev/blog/whats-on-my-desk/ https://www.morling.dev/blog/whats-on-my-desk/.
- pamelafox 3y agoThanks for the recs! It's so hard to decide when/whether to upgrade my mic. Would Rode Procaster be better than the Elgato Wave:3 (what I have now)? They seem to cost similarly.
- gunnarmorling 3y agoI have never used the Elgato, so I can't speak to its qualities. When I was on the market for a mic though, I've found the Procaster to be on a completely different level than any USB mic I had tried (the Procaster connects via XLR, i.e. an audio interface is needed). It just gives you this nice soothing "professional audio" sound. No affiliations with the vendor btw, just really happy with the mic :)
- thsksbd 3y agoI liked your post, btw. I just think a pricey headset would have freed some money to attempt a proper ventilation. CO2 levels num your mind. I have a bigger walk-in and sometimes I take calls there. After 15 min. I cant stand the air quality.
