This episode will finally convince you to stop showing up to Zoom calls or podcasts with AirPods as your mic input. (It's fine for output.) For emotional association and any appeal from a sales or marketing perspective, sound is far more important in the brain than visuals or words. We process sound 10x faster than the blink of an eye. 95% of purchase decisions are EMOTIONAL, 5% rational (see Instagram graphic).

Hear my three comparison recordings between Airpods, computer speaker, and Shure SM7B. Most of the episode is with my Shure SM7B mic as usual. However on this one I did NOT use Descript's Studio Sound setting so you can hear the true raw comparison. (Normally I set Studio Sound to 50% using Descript).
