Blue Microphones - Ember

No. That's a no-name brand as far as I'm aware; the main low cost known brands are FiFine and Maono, and almost everyday there's a new post in /microphone about a FiFine not working. Reliable brands include RODE, Sennheiser, sE, Apogee, AudioTechnica, AKG, Neumann, Shure, Sony, Lauten, Lewitt, Line Audio, Roswell, Earthworks. There are some okay products from Maono, Elgato, Razer, Boya, Antlion, at the cheap end of the spectrum. I'd personally avoid the Blue Yeti & Snowballs, but their inexpensive Ember mic isn't bad. Ditto for most of the Behringer range if for casual use.

You're not taking it seriously if you're not prepared to treat your room. There are so many non permanent options. Can be as simple as moving blankets hung from walls by Command hooks & tarp clips with an air gap. Rugs, soft furnishings, bookcases. Why do people think they can put in zero effort and get a good product? Blue Yeti is the wrong mic for almost every situation, especially an untreated room. ONCE you have treatment, if you want a cheap condenser, Blue Ember can work well (with interface). Many people swear by sEV7. That said, IME the mic with best rejection for terrible rooms is Sennheiser e906 as demonstrated [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5NcazTMRkA&t=424s&ab_channel=TurbotheTechNerd)
