The built-in microphones on most computers don’t do your voice justice—they’re likely to pick up too much room tone, add too much fuzz, and miss out on the warm tones of being in the same room as someone. Whether you’re on a conference call or recording a podcast, a standalone mic connected over USB will help you sound your best. There are lots of USB microphone in the market, however, if you’re looking for a portable USB mic or one that doesn’t hog your desk space, the Sofeno UM10 will be the option.
