     * **Good**: a gaming headset that has the microphone on a small arm that positions it close to your mouth. No-name models can be had from around €25.
     * **Adequate**: headphones and a separate microphone connected to your computer. The microphone should be positioned as close to your head as possible. For example, use a stack of books in front of your laptop to prop up the microphone to ge tit closer to your mouth.
-    * **In a pinch**: headphones and the microphone built into your laptop.
+    * **Not recommended**: headphones and the microphone built into your laptop.
       * The microphone will pick up a lot of ambient noise from your laptop, you typing, you arranging things on the table, etc.
-      * Also, to avoid distortion from room reverb, you will need to try to pad your room with as much cloth as possible (blankets, duvets, etc.) Any masonry, wood, metal or glass surface reflects sounds, and negatively affects the sound quality, which in turn makes it harder for listeners to understand you.
