@lcm I'm interested to hear what you found after your research regarding a good microphone at a lower price point
I personally got these:
https://amazon.com/dp/B07SJR6HL3They are $45 currently.
They were also rated well for good mics.
I haven't done research since, but they have held up well and the microphones have performed well in most situations, very good considering the alternatives and price point.
Meaning, I've been in full rooms with other people around talking, and as long as I wasn't talking too low, then the mics were pretty good.
I think using both together rather than one improves the mics.
I would imagine that the liberty air 2s are at least on par if not better.
