Ask HN: Earbuds and Microphones for Zoom Calls
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28738243Someone posted this article[1] a year ago that I've used to effectively and inexpensively build a professional meeting presence on my work video calls (Zoom, Meet, etc.). The section on headphones[2] was the biggest upside of all, especially the inexpensive mic attachment.
I've had some success getting colleagues onboard with this, but some just don't like bulky over-the-head headphones and refuse to use them, even if they've been expensed.
Has anyone identified high-quality earbud-style headphones/mics that produce near-flawless voices from their coworkers? The microphone portion is extremely important -- earbuds benefit the person wearing them, but if they're using their laptop mic to speak, it's problematic for the other people in the meeting who have to hear their voice echoing, their dog barking, doors slamming, etc.
