People blame microphones for problems that are mostly placement and processing. A modest microphone twenty centimetres from your mouth beats an expensive one across the desk.
Input selection is the frequent first fault: the call uses the laptop's built-in microphone instead of the headset, so your voice arrives thin and distant with keyboard noise on top.
Gain is the second. Set too low, the far end hears background hiss when noise suppression amplifies everything; set too high, your voice clips and distorts.
Rooms matter more than most expect. Hard surfaces create echo that suppression tools cannot fully remove, and soft furnishings genuinely improve clarity.
