Sounds like you need a cancelling microphone. At my university we had to make a lot of videos for distance learning, and after quite a bit of experimenting we used Poly Blackwire 5200 headsets [1]. Not only do these headsets cancel out office noise, they cancel out traffic, planes right overhead, weedeaters right outside, etc. Any noise from more than a few metres away, except for loud sharp cracks (e.g. door slamming), seems to just disappear.

- pamelafox 3y agoI have fantastic noise cancelling headphones from Bose, but that doesn't reduce the sound for folks listening to my microphone or for recorded audio in my videos. I do also have a pretty decent microphone (Elgato Wave 3) with a pop filter and arm, which definitely helps, but you can still hear my partner in recordings.
- mkl 3y agoCancelling microphone, not cancelling headphones. The mic boom has two microphones, one pointing at your mouth, and one pointing out, and by combining the two external noise can be cancelled.
- pamelafox 3y agoAhh, sorry, I misread! Thanks for the recs. There have been a few other mic recommendations in the thread, so I'll have to figure out what my next upgrade will be.
