During Black Friday week, I ordered a Blue Yeti, and I can say it's a huge difference compared to the microphone in my T14 ThinkPad. I work remotely, and one of my coworkers immediately noticed the difference.
Someone will inevitably blurt my name and I have to frantically unmute myself and then mute myself again.
Unless you’re senior leadership and they never mute themselves.
I usually use a $8 pair of earbuds from a gas station with a 3.5mm cord (which seems superior to USB for audio, relying on the integrated sound card instead of hot-plugged third-party drivers) and use the dangling microphone from the earbud.
