Sounds good

If having people actually hear you matters, you need to get yourself a proper microphone. This applies to online meetings, presentation voiceovers, conference calls, podcasts, streaming—all that stuff.

Really it shouldn’t be that surprising to find that you get relatively poor audio quality from that microphone built into your PC in such a way that you don’t even know exactly where it is.

In contrast, this is a proper studio-quality microphone that has all the hardware and capabilities you need to do top-notch recording plus super simple features to help you get through your day-to-day, like a quick mute button. See the red or green lights in the picture there? That’s your mute indicator. You can finally talk smack or mutter in frustration without relying on Zoom software to keep your personal commentary private.

Anyway, this is perfect for directing at a single target—like you—or for omnidirectional pickup like you’d want with people sitting around a table.

Really it’s just an all-around solid choice for anybody who needs upgraded audio pickup without wanting to fall down a whole new technological rabbit hole. (This thing is plenty capable if you do want to go deep, but it’s also an easy plug-and-play solution if you don’t.)

Oh, and you get this awesome hardware for just $12, partially because JLab has kind of made a niche out of selling solid stuff for cheap and also because it’s refurbished.

That’s tough to beat. Let’s get one headed your way.
