comment How/why do Mac laptop mics suffer from hiss so much less than PC laptops?
I admit that our test machines were few and unvaried, but they were both fairly expensive machines, an X220 and a Zenbook. Perhaps the fact that they're both small has an effect. But if a MBP and an Air can both produce reasonable results then why shouldn't our two machines? I'm also not convinced that there's zero software trickery at work. Most of the tests were done using Linux and presumably no software assistance, so maybe that is at least part of the issue. (Did you listen to my "watery" recording?)

Thanks. Your hardware recommendation is especially interesting, although at the moment you're right, it would be overkill and I'll stick to my USB headset for now :)

Ok, but this doesn't cover the fact that using an external mic didn't cut out that much hiss in my case. Could it be, for example, that the internal design of a Mac shields the internal circuits better?
