Recommendations on a quality clip on NC microphone? (lemm.ee)

I have to work in very noisy environments such as near construction sites, near very loud music or highways, and due to the nature of my job I need to be in a lot of online meetings.

I need a clip microphone with a really good noise cancellation feature that would filter all of the noise out leaving only my voice.

Any recommendations? I've found Hollyland Lark M2 but it seems it lets a lot of noise through anyway.

Any specific microphones come to mind? I found the MoveMic by Shure but it's way over my budget.

I haven't tested many microphones since I quickly settled on the current one I have, the Blue Snowball. Like I saod previously, it's cheap and does well for everything I need. It comes with a small stand making it easy to transport and quickly set up. Only downside for what it is would be the shape. A round ball isn't very practical while packing up.

I cannot help further on the model of the microphone. If you go to a shop on-site they may let you test some of them. If they do, chances are you can also see how much noise around you gets picked up. You could also look at some reviews and buy online by some big marketplace like Amazon where you're sure to be able to return the product if you're unhappy, without having to spend extra for returning it. By experience, you won't get in any trouble if you buy and return a few of them right after.
