> People can hear me gulp

That's one of the biggest reasons you don't see them in business settings apart from the tacticool tackiness. The point of a good microphone is not just to clearly hear the voice and to cancel out outside noise but also not to pick up the meat sounds.

Especially when using headphones, other people don't want to hear your meat sounds. They don't want to be constantly reminded that you're made of meat because they're trying their best to pretend that they aren't either.

I’m using a good headset/microphone setup + krisp.Ai and the result is amazing. Good clear voice and krisp removes all the noise. I can even eat chips without it being transmitted.


Thanks for pointing out krisp.ai -- was wondering how it was possible so many youtubers complain about not using A/C while streaming to avoid noise... Does everyone simply not know about krisp.ai?
