Anything is better than a laptop mic. It’s amazing how some people don’t seem to get the hint after years of remote. I bought a $30 Razer desktop mic and it’s already and order of magnitude better and pretty sturdy compared to the $10 lapel mics or laptop mics

This is not true if you have a fairly recent Apple MacBook. The mic quality especially on the Pro models from the last few years is actually pretty good. I often ask people to switch to that mic in our Google Meets if they are using almost any bluetooth headphones (even high end Bose or Sony ones).

The M-series? My company doesn’t have those so I can’t attest.

My Bose Bluetooth headphones are great except the mic. I think it’s optimized for noise cancellation so it kind of sucks for voice - and for some reason forces noise cancellation to high when using the mic so it’s feels really weird in my ears - even other peoples voices become more tinny somehow
