Totally agree on the fancy mics: even wireless hi-end bose headphones sucks.

Distance from mouth is the most important factor in voice quality, I've found that a cheap pair of headphones with buil-in stick mic sounded much better than a Yeti mic on the table.

It's quite easy to test yourself, but nobody does that: just record a test audio snippet using the OSX Notes app and listen to it yourself.

Yah I’ll pile on. Record yourself like you’re on a call and look at different things. Do some typing, do some on-a-call context switching and listen how awful it is. Then imagine network/VOIP - it’s only worse and most services even resample and do things like audio detection to avoid typing or other background noises. Your fancy mics all suck for this. In my experience anyway.
