Hi,

Over the last couple of weeks, I've spent quite a lot of time online talking with people about various things. Either using software voice over IP or google-hangout or Skype or whatever. I've noticed recently there seems to be a growing trend for people to have more and more expensive and professional Microphones for these conversations.

Awesome.

Except, get a grip. There is a limit to what and how these Mic's are meant to be used. The point at which I can hear a cat crossing the road two blocks away from your house - too much. Either get a proper sound / recording room setup, or just use that mic on the webcam or laptop. Really, its good enough for these chats.

A £250 Sennheiser Mic for this sort of a thing, not needed. Talking about the mic setup and getting the wind-blow from when you mention P, not needed. You neither sound better not look prettier. Stick to that 1bit laptop mic. We'll all be happier for it.
