Hello,
I want to do Zoom/Skype calls. If I buy an external microphone like the HyperX Solocast, will there be echoes? Do you know if I need a headset? I used my laptop's internal microphones up to this point, but I want a far better quality. I don't know what to buy or what product class I need.
Thank you.

Hey community! I work with my Galaxy Buds remotely, often in coffee shops, and while they sound great and disconnect me from the world, the mic quality is awful.
I'd like a BT microphone that I can get close to my mouth and have other in the call hear me alright. Nothing fancy, just average quality and good price. If I can clamp it to my shirts collar even better.
Does someone have any suggestion?
Greetings everyone! I am a member of a religious congregation where we meet in person in an auditorium in our building. Our religious leader stands at a podium with a professional style corded microphone attached to a gooseneck stand that sends audio output to the audio system in the room so that everyone in the auditorium can hear him talk. We also have live music that’s played by a pianist on a grand piano on our stage behind the podium. After our leader gives his talk in person, he goes into his office and repeats his talk via Zoom on his laptop for our congregants who can’t come on site.
What I am interested in doing is combining the in-person and remote sessions into a hybrid in-person/zoom session. With this in mind, I brought my 5th gen iPad Air and put it on a stand a few feet in front on the podium and we ran the zoom session and we invited remote congregants to sign in so they could see and hear the talk and music. While we did this test zoom, I signed into the zoom on my iPhone from a different room in our building out of earshot from our auditorium. The zoom session worked very nicely and both I and the other people saw and heard everything. The only downside is the audio volume was too low. Everyone who was on the zoom mentioned the low audio volume on the chat.
So I decided to get an external Bluetooth microphone that can be clipped onto the same gooseneck holder that our current microphone is on and have both microphones on it. The microphone I want to get must be Bluetooth and it needs to be sensitive enough to hear the person speaking at the podium and the musician who is positioned about 10 feet behind the podium. It absolutely must be Bluetooth because I don’t want to have a USB cable between it and the iPad.
With those requirements in mind, I went over to Amazon.com and there were way too many to choose from and none really looked like good quality. I checked some other online electronics stores and I came up empty handed.
Can any of you recommend a quality Bluetooth microphone for this application? I am trying to keep the cost under $100 and it needs to either have easily replaceable batteries or be very easy to charge.
Once I get all of this finalized and tested, I will order an iPad Air specifically for this use because I don’t intend to lend mine every time we need to do this. This congregation is also located only three blocks from an Apple store so I went in there for advice, but no one there could recommend a microphone for this purpose.
I do WFH sales for an edtech company and as such, I'm on zoom calls all day long. My air pods are okay but when I watch my meetings back, the audio just sounds very meh.
I have a standing desk and would like to just have the mic on a stand in front of me, but out of view.
Budget is somewhere between $100-$250ish.
Hi all,
I have a client who wants to have zoom meetings using his TV at the house.
-
He will be sitting about 10-15ft away from the tv
-
I was thinking of using a PC stick with a webcam hooked up to it to get zoom on the TV
-
He would need a microphone that can pickup his audio clearly from that distance (or maybe a wireless solution?)
Any recommendations on microphones that will do that? Also, the setup mentioned above is not necessarily final. If you guys think there’s a better setup to do this, I’m all ears!
Thanks!
Wireless lapel mic on amazon about $15USD and call it a day.
I teach junior high theatre. Right now, we’re all online, and I zoom all my classes everyday. On Sept. 8, I’ll have blended classes, teaching kids in person and via zoom during the same class period. I want to wear a wireless mic so my online kids can hear and so I can move around my classroom simultaneously.
My district is giving us $200 to spend on Amazon, so my question is does a wireless mic for a computer exist (on Amazon haha)?
If not, is there a way to set up my wireless stage mics for my classroom? I’m thinking about just setting up a system with a speaker pointed at my computer mic, but I’m not sure that will work sufficiently.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
