thinking about getting a better mike rophone so ppl in voice chat stop complaining about my audio but I also don't wanna dedicate desk space to one (or get an arm, I hate the aesthetic of microphone arms)

@noiob @catalina got a lavalier mic recently and the audio quality is pretty decent, i wouldn't use it for a podcast or anything but it beats a webcam or headset mic

@prophet_goddess @catalina I use bluetooth headphones so I'd rather not have a cable againg

@noiob ah yeah, understandable, that limits options somewhat

@prophet_goddess yeaah, I currently use a cheap zalman mod mic that pretty much records the whole room

@trwnh that's xlr right? sounds expensive

@trwnh fwiw I already have a thingy clamped to my desk for my camera so I could probably mount a light microphone to that

@trwnh @noiob yeah there are shotgun mics at a wide range of prices and with a variety of connectors, a lot of ones meant for use with cameras have 3.5mm TRS outputs instead of usb or xlr

@trwnh @prophet_goddess I have a dedicated sound card so TRS should be fine
