What is the best cheap microphone for Zoom therapy sessions?

For Zoom therapy sessions, the best cheap choice is usually a wired USB headset with a boom microphone rather than a standalone desk mic. A budget model such as the Logitech H390, or any similar wired USB headset with an adjustable boom mic, is often the most practical option because it keeps your voice consistent, reduces echo, and lets you use headphones for better privacy.

If you specifically want a standalone microphone, the FIFINE K669B is a solid budget USB mic to consider when it is priced cheaply. It is plug-and-play and is usually clearer than a laptop mic, but it can pick up more room noise than a headset.

Setup tips: place the mic/boom a few inches from your mouth and slightly off to the side, select it manually in Zoom, use headphones, and test Zoom’s noise suppression to make sure your voice still sounds natural. Prices change, so check current pricing and return options before buying.
