> We use a simple Neumann U87 microphone as the house-standard microphone at all of our facilities. They’re expensive, but that’s what we’ve used for years.

I'm seeing one go for above US$ 3K on Amazon right now: https://www.amazon.com/Neumann-87-Switchable-Studio-Micropho...

Right now I use the mic on the wire that came with my previous Bose QC35 headphones (I use them with my QC45 because I don't like the bluetooth mic). Let's say I want to step-up my microphone game but I also don't want to spend a ton (max around ~$250, flexible if strongly recommended one goes above it). Does anyone have any good mic recommendations? I just want to sound good and clear. I have medium-to-deep voice but can be nasally often because of allergies.
