The problem with blue products, isn’t the quality but rather it’s the price, you can get so much more for the same amount of money as a snowball or yeti.
As for it being too sensitive, try turning it down andoving closer to it, or just using a noise gate, or even noise reduction (like rnnoise based or RTX voice). There are plenty of options for tuning a microphone for better quality. And you don’t have to go for the manufacturers software.
Personally I have a Audio interface with an XLR AT2020, and my noise gate and compressor plugin chain running on Carla works fine for what I have on my Linux setup, but you don’t even have to go that far. All you need is something like voicemod, voicemeeter, EasyEffects or noisetorch or other standalone setups.
I’m just using pulse effects for gates and compressors.
I was more talking about it’s not a directional mic and sound from behind it is no different to the mic as sound in front of it really. So it just picks everything up.
Ahh, a noise reduction setup like rnnoise (noisetorch) might actually help you with that - you can use it to replace the noisegate, as it has voice activation detection which works like a noisegate
It’s not a big deal really. I do like the mic because I paid next to nothing for it. (Yay, cheap marketplace shit.) Besides, I rarely use it.
That and I’ve had to switch over to flatpak pulse effects which refuses to see the mic and allow me to add effects. (The flatpak version of pulse effects didn’t even fix the problem I had anyways.)
