Thank you for suggesting interesting options, Imamacuser. I was considering to get a Yamaha, which I use at my office. But these look interesting. I will definitely explore them. Following many of your advice, I will experiment with a few things (buy a couple of microphones--ear & lav, and...

Thank you, Peter. I will look into this (and other single-ear headsets).

Dear Paulers: I do agree with you, and your argument makes perfect sense, especially in a forum geared toward experts. I am here to seek for high-quality professional advice as I am trying to up my game. Having said that, 99% of people out there don't need anything sophisticated. I bet 95% of...

Peter, thank you for your advice. I totally agree with you that it is best to find equipment that suits my situation (easier, cheaper, less compatibility issue). I do have a relatively high-end headset (as a gamer). And I must admit that, of all the options I've tested so far, the best one is...

Thank you for your advice, Andy9. It makes a lot of sense. I will buy a Lav and test my luck. Do you have any recommendation for a Lav? I am not planning to buy a $500 professional one, but I want to have a decent one that could reject noise well. It appears that amateurs tend to recommend...

Thank you for your advice. A headphone isn't really an option because it looks too geeky (yes, I am a geek, but looking like a geek is different from being a geek :). It is especially bad for recorded (asynchronous) sessions. I also think that a Lav is probably the best option in my case. But...

I am a newbie in video/audio production. If you don't mind, please allow me to ask you a question that is suitable for a newbie :cheesy: I am a college teacher, and video/audio production was not something I had to worry about. But since the pandemic started, much of teaching has moved to...
