Have always been a headset person, need advice on swapping to speakers and mic
Hey All, Want to swap to not having a headset on at home as its much more comfortable, but dont want to dive in and buy an avenue of tech I have not kept up with.
Budget: 600 Max ideally, can go a bit over if its REALLY worth it.
Location: USA, Shopping via Amazon is my preference. Can do B&H or some other site if the best options are so exotic they aren't on Amazon or something.
My goals are to have speakers and a dedicated mic, ideally with the following boxes ticked:
[Speakers & Mic] High Quality sound capabilities both on output and input.
[Speakers] I don't need super high volumes, not trying to blast music or anything. Don't need crazy bass. Want to play games, watch youtube, and hang out in discord.
[Mic] Ideally something I don't need to be an exact distance to in order for it to work. If I can avoid a pole arm great, if not then oh well.
[Mic] Ideally no pole arm on my desk but if that's the only way then so be it.
[Mic] Noise cancellation, unless the best options here are Discord Crisp/Nvidia noise suppression. Basically want to be able to play my games and hear my friends without background audio bleeding into my mic.
Nice to have (Not at all required)
[Mic] Physical mute button
[Speakers] Sonos integration? I have a few Sonos around the house for when guests are over, so in my mind if I can just have these available as another source of audio why not.
Appreciate any help and insight, have been a headset gamer my entire life.
