Making videos on your phone? This USB-C mic is the easiest way to get pro audio

If you use your phone for vlogs or social media videos, but find that its built-in microphone degrades video quality, it might be time for an upgrade. Shure's is a great option if you want an easy-to-use solution that offers more customization than a cheap mini lavalier mic. Also: How one tiny microphone solved my biggest video production problems However, if you're looking for a microphone that works from far away, this one isn't it. The MV88 USB-C easily upgrades your phone's microphone, keeping your recording's audio level consistent while reducing background noise. At $160, there are less expensive options, but they might not offer the same production features. Here's what to know before you buy.

Shokz OpenFit Pro review: Reducing distractions while keeping your ears open

I tend to find them underwhelming because overall sound quality is subpar compared to the more "traditional" in-ear models. Any promise of noise reduction, or a far-fetched claim of noise cancellation, usually doesn't hold true. The first time I used the Shokz OpenFit Pro ($249.95) I was immediately met with better audio performance than I'd just experienced on Sony's new LinkBuds Clip and noise reduction technology that actually lessened some distractions.
