Earbuds Microphone vs. Samson Meteor Mic

A recent guest on one of my clients shows joined the session remotely using a Samson Meteor Mic.

Because it’s a condenser mic, and because it’s on a tiny stand which ends up ensuring that the mic is very far from the guests mouth, it was picking up a ton of background noise (a loud air vent and significant room reverb).

I asked the guest to try plugging in their earbuds so we could see how that mic sounded in comparison.

The earbuds mic sounded MUCH better.
