Note: You have to keep this mic very close to your mouth to have it pick up your voice so If you're not accustomed to it there will be a learning curve. Also, the mic must be in the camera frame to sound good on Zoom, so consider if you are willing to make that trade off to sound super crisp to the 5% of your coworkers who will notice the difference 🤷

generally speaking, most pro audio mics are vastly superior to flashy gamer stuff...

Alternatively, I have a bunch of older XLR mics I was given (Shure SM58 I believe, but I'd have to dig them out to check), but I have no preamp or USB interface to make use of them. As far as I can tell, those would be even better for recording\singing etc. than the ATH-M20x, but not so much for Zoom\Discord since it would likely have the same issue of needing to be right in front of me, correct?
EDIT: After reading up on the differences between (and the uses for) dynamic and condenser mics, I'll probably just go with one of these for $6.

Has to sound better than the pinhole mic on a webcam from 3 feet away, or the 20 year old Logitech USB mic I've been attempting to use. I'm certainly not going to be doing any podcasts, live vocal performances or trying to stream my twitches... or whatever it is the kids are doing these days.
Are podcast microphones different than singing microphones?
Thanks

If you're looking for a mic to use professionally, you'd get better performance using phantom power at around the same price point.

Edit: Nevermind, I see you posted that a few days ago when they maybe has some other special promo.

If you go with this mic you are probably going to want a boom mic stand. You will want this close to your mouth
