I'm looking for a high-quality mic to do some online teaching. I prefer a wireless or Bluetooth product that will also allow me to record without a lot of background noise. Any suggestions?

Hmmm.... I could suggest some wired ones.. but bluetooth.. hmm... you'll want to make sure it's the higher-spec bluetooth that will do stereo. The lower spec sounds like crap.

background noise is caused by background noise, not your mic. a high quality mic will pick up much more ambient noise, so your question is kind of an oxymoron. i think what you're worried about is noise caused by an input signal that is too weak. you need a preamp to boost the mic level signal to a line level signal. you can probably pick up an ok mic and preamp used for around $100.

Different kinds of mics (Condenser vs. Dynamic) pick up more background noise, or are much more sensitive to it. Dynamic mics pick up less. There are Cardiods, Hypercardiods. Lots of things to consider.

I know of none which are blue-tooth, but I haven't looked hard.
