Good time.
Apparently in connection with self-isolation - the popularity of microphones, headphones, etc. "pieces" for interaction and learning on a PC has grown exponentially. I have already received dozens of questions and responses on this topic ... ✌
Actually, that's why I decided to make a small selection of the most interesting and popular microphones (from China). They differ among themselves not only in appearance and size, but also in the type of connection, as well as in the sound quality (which they can provide).
If you do not know which microphone you need, you can use the built-in microphone in your laptop (or a headset, if you have one). Links below to help!
So...
👉 To help!
1) How to connect an external microphone to a laptop or PC: several ways.
2) How to turn on the microphone on a laptop.
3) How to get cashback (discount) when buying in a Chinese store.
