Hands down, the best thing you can do to improve audio, get closer to the mic! There is a simple and largely undefeatable reality that distance from the emitter of sound (your mouth) to the receiver of sound (the mic) has a huge influence on audio quality. There is a number of technical, logistical, ergonomical and personal preferences that will inform your decision. Therefore, if you embark on a journey to "pimp your home office", start with audio.īefore spending a few hundred dollars, I would suggest to invest some time into reflecting on your needs and how you want to be perceived by your audience. And during this many virtual meetings, one discovers that it is nice when people turn on video and that audio quality maters more than video quality for the overall meeting experience.

With COVID19, in-person meetings are not a thing. We all now spend most of our meeting times in Microsoft Teams (or Zoom or Webex).
