The COVID-19 era means having a good-quality microphone is more important than ever, yet built-in Mac mics have not been able to keep up. If you’re spending more time in video calls with your workplace or family, you need something reliable. So is JLab’s Talk GO up to the task?

As the name suggests, this is a compact mic. It cuts down on extra features in favour of a small, lightweight design with just enough of what you need and none of what you don’t. At £50, it makes for a compelling option.
