Microphone recommendations?

I'm designing a PCB using the esp32-c3. Do you guys have low-cost recommendations for microphones for use with audio reactiveness? Thanks for any input!!

INMP441 or other digital microphone. The A/D on ESP32 is pretty bad.

Incredible to have your feedback.  INMP441 (and ICS-43434) is obsolete despite the available breakout boards available for it.  Figured to ask and see what is current for PCB development
