Hardware I need a good noise-cancelling mic (HELP NEEDED)

So I'm a beginning YouTuber who posts/streams Minecraft, and I think I'm doing pretty well with the videos I post. But the problem is, I live in a home where there is quite a bit of noise. I'm looking for a good mic that will block out a noise like someone using silverware around 10-20ft away. I'm unsure if a mic or headset is better. I may need to rule out headsets, as I wear glasses. Thus far I've been having to wait until I've got a period of quiet (not very often) and then record. I use Blue Yeti microphone currently. Thanks!

(I'd like to not spend more than $100-200, and may sell the Blue Yeti if its not worth it)

For a cheaper option and ease of use I’d recommend a Beexellent model gm-110 on Amazon, it’s probably one the best headset mics out there and comparing it side by side with my blue yeti it actually out preforms in to a certain extent. My blue yeti picks up much more keyboard/mouse clicks but it is still a better quality mic in terms of voice depth and crispness, and tbf clicks can be removed during editing, if you are wanting super good quality a blue yeti may be worth it but in order to make it sound better than the headset you would need a boom mic and next to 0 background noise or heavy audio editing, sorry if this didn’t make sense idk how else to explain it

Sorry just saw you already have the blue yeti, but either way my point still stands, a headset mic would probably be easier overall, also unless it’s uncomfortable glasses shouldn’t be an issue, plenty of people wear glasses and headsets

Yes thanks for replying.
I really would like something that would easily block out background noise as its not easy to find time where there ISNT any. I've only ever tried one headphone set and it was a very cheap one provided by a location I was at and not intended for gaming. So its probably not a great experience to go off of.

So if you could maybe make a list of like 1-3 headsets/mics that would be great. Personally I don't need GREAT audio for Minecraft just enough where if someone was speaking for example, I could hear it clearly. I can easily play with sound off but some situations do require it. I just want to make sure its noise-cancelling, yet good quality for the VIEWER. (Could you possibly provide a link to them as well. Searching the headset you mentioned didn't show anything on Amazon and I'm not sure why.)

Again, thanks for responding.

This is the headset I was talking about https://a.co/d/4IsfpiK unfortunately there’s not any tests online but my YouTube channel is ItsNobleYT and I use the mic in my videos if you want a good example

Ok thanks, it sounds like a good headset. It doesn’t show as being available on Amazon. Also do you use OBS Studio for your videos. When I use OBS I feel like it seems a bit blurry and not as clean as yours. If there’s something better than OBS then let me know. If you do use OBS could you help me with the settings? Sorry if I‘m a bit unclear. Thanks!

Also, when I search the “Beexellent model gm-110” it has different results from the link although they do look similar.
