I need a microphone with good noise rejection. Which one should I get?I work from home, in the basement, and I need a mic that would not pick up barking dogs, children playing, washing machines, and so on. I use linux (ubuntu lts) and it's the company laptop, so I can't rely on software solutions unless it's something really basic like a pipewire / pulseaudio config. I know the cheapest and most effective option is a headset, call center style, but I rather not have something over my head for 8h a day. I want it comfortable, sitting on my desk.My budget is decently low. Say 100$ or less, with black friday deals. I need it for microsoft teams calls and I'm currently using the laptop integrated mic, so sound quality doesn't really matter.
>>103289944Any headset microphone. Most important thing for noise rejection is distance from your mouth.
USB-C earpods, or 3.5mm earpods with either your onboard audio or a USB adapter. I went through the same thing you are, and you just can't beat these headset mics for noise rejection. Also completely eliminates any echo you might be creating. The mics on these earpods are the best from any earbud style I tried, and these are way more comfortable than full headsets.
>>103290067>and you just can't beat these headset mics for noise rejectionReally? I might try them, they are only 10 bucks.
>>103290691The Apple ones are especially good, and still pretty cheap. And yeah, inline mics are only sensitive enough to pick up your mouth, which is like 3 inches away, so background stuff doesn't even register.

Are cheap camera mic like Movo VXR10 any good for my purpose?
>>103289944There is no such thing as a mic that will just automatically kill noise. What you want is some kind of lavalier. The secret is to get the mic as close as possible to you (sound falls of as a square of distance). Find a cheap wireless lav that you can just clip on when you start and take off when you finish. If you're willing to spend slightly over, you can get a rode wireless ME or something that will actually be a super decent mic.
>>103294671>wirelessI'm down for a lavalier if they don't pick up too much noise. I'm a little bit worried of clothes (and iem cable) rubbing over it, especially because I'm a bit of le cozy pepe when I work from home. Wireless tho? Aren't wired things the best bang for the buck when it comes to audio equipment?
