I am talking about apple wired earphones. Not airpods
1. Almost every single laptop manufacturer considers the mic/webcam an after-thought on their devices.
2. Onboard mic is further away from your face because it's attached to your laptop.
3. Onboard mic will get tons of noise from the laptop (fan, typing, etc) because it's stuck on the laptop.
4. Onboard mic doesn't have pop filter, etc.
Is this a good mic? You're paying $22 and getting a mic, mount, and filter, so no. That said, everyone has different budgets, and if it's either this or your onboard mic, this will be a better experience because of the above. This is a fine place to start if you have a really tight budget. If your situation changes in the future, or you want to get more serious, upgrade to something from an established name (Blue, Samson, etc) when you're ready.
After owning it, it's definitely worth $50+.
If I was buying today and had an XLR microphone but no interface, I'd get this if I only had one XLR and I wasn't recording music.

If I needed two XLR devices interfaced I'd go with this Creative unit.

I remember hearing about a 'kit' like this and it being super cheap, and never shipping. People started getting suspicious after a few days

"Ships from: Amazon"
I hear Amazon runs an entire fake web store just to collect addresses. 🙄

Since I actually make money doing VOs I was just pointing out there's a LOT of people trying to do pro VO work and most of them use MUCH better equipment than this
But hey, it's your money, Sherlock. Good luck.
As for the build quality, we don't really move it much but the arm holds its position OK, and that is worth something.
I'd be very grateful if anyone can comment on whether going up to something in the $100 range would yield better volume levels.
EDIT: I'm guessing a separate audio interface would definitely solve low volume issues, maybe these recommendations for $110 total would be decent, hopefully another deal on that xlr mic setup will come up soon
