I currently have a Logitech BCC950 that I've been using for Zoom/Teams calls. The Zoom calls are completely for sales meetings and the Teams calls are for more internal meetings if that matters (Zoom calls are slightly more important).
The video quality is fine, and I don't care all too much about the sound quality of the speaker. My problem is, I reviewed some recorded meetings and noticed that the microphone quality is pretty bad.
I own one of the hefty stand-alone Blue Yeti microphones (no pop filter or boom arm or anything) which I could try to use again, but it always picks up voices from the speakers. I've read that this microphone is bad to use with speakers and much better to use with headphones, so I gave up on it early.
It's important to me to not use headphones.
Does anybody in this community have any recommendations of a speaker/microphone combo or just a stand-alone microphone that I can place on my desk that's both quality and can cancel out the background speaker? Maybe even a better 3 in 1 cam/speaker/mic? This is not used for gaming. I'm not tied to the BCC950 but I'm fine to use it as just a bulky webcam for now.
I'd be willing to spend $500-700~ for an upgrade if necessary. I'm a noob at this, please correct me if this is the wrong sub! I'm just looking to upgrade my home office set up!

They’re pretty decent. I’ve not run through the whole getting users to charge them, as they book them out as a resource and return them to helpdesk for charging. From memory, there’s an 800 series of Speak that support up to 15 people, but I’m not sure if they’re battery powered. Might be worth getting @karl-jabra to confirm.
With our company returning to the office and the heavy use of conference software, we are in need of a decent speaker and mic set up. We currently have a TV and a PC connected via HDMI. I was looking at a Shure speaker\mic combo unit but it requires the use of USB. If we have the unit sitting on our table, it still requires a USB cable to connect to the PC (in our case it would be a 15ft cable stretching across a table and floor). Not too efficient. Internally, we use Teams for calls. However, our external calls could be Teams, Zoom, WebEx, etc. so a proprietary device wouldn’t be efficient.
