Many people also purchase a microphone along with a computer. However, not everyone knows which of the existing models has the best characteristics. And it is definitely not always able to find the ideal option that suits both the price and quality. But it's very easy to figure it out.
Peculiarities
The desktop microphone is placed on a convenient stand. Most often it is installed right in front of the keyboard.... In any case, it should be at the level of the mouth. A high-quality desktop microphone for a computer must necessarily transmit the sound of a voice without distortion. That is, it should be without wheezing or any noise.
In addition, such a device should take up little space and not attract much attention to itself. If the microphone is moved, there should be no sound loss.
Views
Most PC microphones are categorized by directional pattern. They can pick up sound that comes from all directions, or, conversely, they allow you to hear only one specific sound without unnecessary noise. To understand what devices are, you need to familiarize yourself with all types in more detail.
Omnidirectional
These microphones have a fairly wide pick-up pattern. Together with this, they also good at capturing extraneous noise... They are not harmed by moving from place to place. Most often they are bought if a person does not always sit at a computer and moves around the room a lot during a conversation.

Narrowly targeted
These microphone models more intended for studio work, because at home they are of no particular use.
In addition, it should be said that all types of microphones can be wireless and wired... It all depends on the preferences of the person. If you don't like the wiring on the desktop, then you should turn your attention to the first option. In the event that it does not matter, you can buy wired models. If we talk about the type of connection, then some of them can be connected via a USB-connector, while others via a 3.5-mm jack connector.
