Hello. One of the microphone/audio interfaces I would like to recommend to students and teachers is the AKG Lyra.
You can connect it via USB-C (though it comes with a USB-C to "regular" USB cable. You plug your headset into the bottom of the mic. There is a headset control, a gain control, a mute button. Another feature that I like is that the mic has 4 capsules with a dial that allows you to have 4 different settings; Front, front and back, tight stereo (front) wide stereo (front and back). You can use it right out of the box. Lastly, it just looks cool and I know the students and teachers will love it.
My challenge is that although you can plug it into the Mac and it works right out of the box, the same is not true for Windows. Has anyone had any success getting a AKG Lyra to work with JamKazam on a windows machine?
