So many people are overengineering this... I have a wireless Jabra headset. Works great. At home I use one of those usb speakerphone pucks, works great. Not these super special desktop mics that streamers or radio broadcasters use.

The people who try to use their webcam mic or the built in mic are the ones causing most of the problem (yes I'm also looking at you Macbook users).

I always thought it'd be a great idea if in your internal Teams or Zoom instance you had a "send this person a new headset" button to fix the problem.

Is nobody using a DJI Mic2?? I hoped you guys would recommend something better than the DJI Mic2, not because it's expensive, but there surely should be better mobile/wireless mics, no?

I hope someone knows, hey I am even down buying those talkshow moderator style mics, like the DPA 6066, that was recommended here. But don't they require a bulk of stuff wearing in your back attached to your pants/belt? For sound I would wear regular noise-cancelling in-ears, here the difference isn't that big, unless you're audiophile like me and many others in this thread. Especially so, if you have above average hearing, the world is optimised for lower-quality sounds :(

Why the focus on just the Laptop/PC? Mobile Phones also feature crappy mics, especially when on loudspeaker. Yeah I noticed it depends very much on the software being used too, but WhatsApp sounds tinny, Instagram sounds crystal sharp, Zoom/Meets sounds tinny.

What if you have to use the screen and still need to listen on your mobile phone? Bummer, the microphone switches to crap-quality on loudspeaker.

Test yourself and record a message with loudspeaker on and off. Especially with background noise it's getting worse, whatever that algorithm is doing, it's tinning your voice to filter the stuff out.

I do have a (not cheap) BT headset and still use the builtin microphone of my mac. Why? Because when i use the mic of my headset it changes the type of BT connection and the sound i hear is basically unbearable.

In my experience MacBook Pro mic is incredibly good, miles ahead of any (expensive) headset I've tried. Do you have a different experience?

How do you have the macBook pro microphone in a proper position? If I only use the macBook the camera is in a bad spot. Usually my macBook is plugged in which means my decent, external camera on my monitor is in a good location and so is my lighting. However, it means my macBook is off to the side.
