I was wondering what microphone people were using to utilize Siri with Sierra? If they do not have a monitor with a built-in microphone. Have a Mac Pro 6,1. Looking for something decent, but not like I'm David Letterman. Something way more subtle.
Got a tip for us?

I use my iSight. Too bad that Apple broke the video in FaceTime and many other application – however in Skype video from the iSight still works.
Audio works fine.

I've had a logitech desktop mic for several years and have been more than happy with it. I think I payed a bit less for it, maybe $25.

The mic built into the Creative X7, which doesn't work very well. So this is a warning, not a recommendation.
Purchased this slick microphone.

Just received it. Seems to be working nicely. I have my Mac on my desktop, not to far from me. The Mic and Siri seem to be working.

I also endorse this microphone. I have the black one!
Note - I don't use Skype, but I do use my Mac as a phone via Google Voice!

it always gets a good signal and usb powered so it dense take up a headphone jack win win. and for the price in my opinion it sounds a lot higher quality.
I have two that I switch between at the moment.
One is the Blue Nessi... sometimes I get people that say it doesn't sound very good. Any recording I've done and listened to sounded ok but for whatever reason over FaceTime or Phone calls, people don't like it when I use it.
The other is the Logitech C930? Webcam with Mic. This one seems to do the best job overall for me.
