I have considered getting the cheapest set from eBay and not bother plugging in it, that's how much of a look we need. Lucky I already have some good Audio Technica headphones I can actually use...
Do you have this youself? It does look really good. :-)
ExTra-
I researched the hell out of it and concluded that was the best off-the-peg everything included desk microphone.
And then I purchased a traditional vocal studio set up 🤷
I have:
- Mic stand
- Shure SM7B
- SSL 2 USB Audio Interface
- Fethead
The HyperX is the best value mic and all-in... but I actually don't need something on show, and am going for near flawless audio to increase the human connection with the high number of meetings I do with direct reports.
- Mic stand

I mean if you're going for the look and you want cheap... you want a desktop mic with a shock stand.
All dedicated mics are going to be better than whatever is built-in, so it's not a waste of money at all.
If you are willing to spend £110 I would say get this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-QuadCast-Condenser-Gaming-Microphone-Black/dp/B07NZZZ746
It's a lot cheaper then the Blue Yeti (which also doesn't sound good), and this sounds great and looks the bomb.
Super convenient mute button on top (honestly, these mics pick up so much that being able to mute is damn useful).
