Has anyone used a Rode VideoMic Go ii (or any shotgun mic) for a shared office space?

I’m sick of my headset, the earphones are shite, and the mic bleeds like mad and picks up my girlfriend sitting opposite when she's on her own calls.

I know shotguns are supposed to be highly directional and I’m sure the quality will be much higher, but thought I’d check here before i bite the bullet

A shotgun mic used indoors will still pickup background noise due to the reverb in the room. Especially if it is not very close the source (less than a foot).

Have suggested a setup with good noise rejection in this post - https://www.lfgss.com/comments/16970272/

Hmm cheers, good food for thought that. I reckon I can get it around/within a foot so the gain can stay pretty low.

But that said, I already have an interface so the Behringer is a much more affordable setup
