The problem is not people using shitty external mics, the problem is people using internal laptop mics that is horrible. Any external mic would be a huge upgrade, just don't work from a noisy environment or at least don't take calls from one.
People appreciate good sound when they have to listen, but rarely when other people have to listen to them.
Just buy an dynamic mic if you want a mic that work well even when there is people around you.
Why only an "important" call? Once you've made the investment in the hardware, it's pretty much a simple matter of just plugging it in, as long as you're at home. I've found that the higher sound quality from a dedicated external mic more than makes up for any minor inconvenience having to deal with hardware, unless I have to be mobile for some reason.
I always thought a headset is better than external mike as you can move around and dont get background noise. Is there a reason not to use a headset mic?
Half my team use speakerphones and it drives me nuts.
