- Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro. Yeah it's expensive, but think of how much time you spend typing in a day/month/year. I have two of these suckers.
- Shure SM7B microphone for professional level audio on zoom calls. It makes me sound smarter, and people actually like me more when I have good audio quality ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Brompton fold-up bike. I live in an expensive city where space is tight. Having a bike that folds up means a) I can bring it inside and it won't get stolen, and b) it takes up minimal space in my apartment. I LOVE THIS BIKE!
- Xbox Gamepass. Netflix for gaming. Works on PC and Xbox. Incredible value.
I agree we should take better care of our sound quality. That being said I don't manage to get an idea what's worth it. Network quality is part of the equation. Macbook's microphones seem to sound pretty good. Shure SM7B looks great but it's 380€... How much better is the sound on your contacts' ears is what I'm wondering about. Any feedback/idea?
I have had numerous comments on my mic sound quality, so people certainly notice it and appreciate it! Is it worth 380€? I can't say. You'll also need an audio interface, cables, and probably a pre-amp, so the kit ADDS UP.
My own personal reflection is that I have no regrets and going semi-pro audio quality was the right choice for me. YMMV.
