Head-to-head sound comparisons so you can find which mic type is best for Zoom, classes, interviews, and recordings! I use the UHURU "podcasting" USB mic for Zoom meetings, recording online classes, live lectures, podcasts, and my YouTube videos! It's a great budget option at around 70 bucks. The Blue Snowball and Blue Yeti are fab choices too.

*November 2020 update on the phone headset issue:* to get them to work on a laptop, you'll likely need a TRSS to TRS adapter assuming you have a headphone/mic combination port on your laptop OR if your computer has separate headphone and mic ports, you'll need a headphone splitter adapter. Thanks for all the helpful comments, much appreciated!

Wow, seriously thank you everyone. Several of you have asked for affiliate links (also, thanks!) so I'm going to do what one of my favorite YouTubers does (Binging with Babish) and provide *both* non-affiliate and affiliate links so you can pick your own adventure! In case you don't know: if you click on an affiliate link and buy something, the person posting the link earns a small commission (e.g., from Amazon) but the price to you is the same. Why post both link types? Because I'm making these videos for the love of it. And if you want to purchase through an affiliate link, I want that to be a conscious choice you get to make.

A huge thank you to YouTubers Potato Jet and Alex Knickerbocker. Seriously guys, you rock. I have learned a ton about filming and audio from both of you. Check out their epic mic video, which they filmed together, if you want to learn even MORE about mics!! [ Ссылка ]

DISCLAIMERS: I’ve included non-affiliate and affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link, I may earn a small commission if you purchase something (cost is the same for you). I’ve made every effort to ensure that my videos are accurate and helpful, but please do your own due diligence! While I wish I could, I cannot guarantee that I haven’t missed something/made a mistake or that these solutions will work for you or with your technology.
