After a full year of WFH (with no signs of that changing any time soon), I finally started listening back to meeting recordings and realized how poor my audio quality was using my internal laptop mic with my desk setup. I don't like wearing headphones and especially hate those N*SYNC style mic/headphone combos, so I picked this up to plop on my desk instead. I get a lot of comments from co-workers how much louder and clearer my audio is, and believe it or not I feel like productivity in meetings has gone up considerably as a result. Much easier to get your point across when people can actually HEAR you!
Works like a charm with MS Teams - plug and play on my Mac with 0 issues whatsoever. I also installed the Sherpa app to fine tune the gain if I need to. Despite some reviews, I am able to use this without headphones just fine, never had any feedback issues in Teams. I have my input as the Yeti Nano, and output as my Mac's speakers set as my default I/O setting in Teams & Finder. The cardoid setting works great to limit background & keyboard noise, I keep it in front of me angled slightly up/to the left of my keyboard.
Added bonus, it looks super cool and adds a nice visual element to my desk, I feel like I'm Letterman sometimes (not really, but hey any happiness you can get mid-pandemic is key). Can't wait to bring this into the office if/when we ever go back. I'm sure this will work great for conference room audio in the omni-directional mode, we were using Jabra's previously which were spotty at best.
BTW my use is relatively limited and just for improving Teams/conference call audio. I haven't done any extensive testing for podcasting, music, etc...so I can't speak to those use cases, but I can tell you it does what I need it to do great.
