I just got back from an All Hands meeting in our main office. Most people do it remotely. We had remote people presenting from their M-series macbooks. I was reading this thread prior to the all hands, so I was paying attention to the quality of the voices. Audio was being pumped through the ceiling speakers. They all sounded great and it convinced me that I did not need to throw money at an imagined problem... I of course reserve the right to change my mind as soon as I see a great desktop mic on a sweet deal.

MacBook mics tend to be very good in my experience. Easily puts you in the "hooray I can actually hear you" category.

It's webcams (Logitech shit) and headsets that are the worst.

I was wondering the same. I’d love to see a quick head to head, in realistic non studio wfh environment, starting with macbook mic, and then at $50, $100, $300 mic investments.

Anyone got the setup already in front of them at their zoom desk and want to make us a 5 minute comparison video?
