Hey smart peeps, I’m a remote worker who attends a lot of virtual meetings. I also sometimes create training videos or host training sessions, and my current earbuds are some $15 amazon cheapos.

I sometimes get feedback that people can hear my typing or the squeak of my chair.

I have about $200 budget to spend on some nicer headphones. When I search, I look for ‘noise canceling’ or ‘background sound suppression’, but only see more cheap headphones or some over-the-head headsets.

Are higher quality earbuds possible? What’s out there that’s a good product y’all might recommend?

    The first thing I would check is if you have noise removal enabled on your conference call software and maybe install RTX voice if you have an Nvidia GPU.

    My preference is to use a ModMic so I can use whatever headphones I want. Open back headphones were a game changer for my conference calls.
