Solving the problem of the lack of a microphone input on a laptop

I have an Acer laptop and the microphone on it is of poor quality, such that it causes discomfort to the interlocutor.
Therefore, I want to consult with experts on this matter. I see such solutions:
1. USB adapter for two mini-jacks for a microphone and headphones

Here is such a thing for 740 rubles, using USB it solves the problem of the lack of an input for a microphone and even for a second headphone. There is another one for 1200, but in my opinion it's expensive, if I'm wrong, tell me.
2. Mini-jack splitter - 2x mini-jack

Here is the most common audio splitter, which usually solves the problem when you need to send sound from one device to two pairs of headphones, for example. I don't know if this will work if you plug it into the headphone jack on one side and plug in headphones and a microphone on the other two ends. One person in the reviews wrote that he seems to be using them for this. This worries me a lot, tell me if it works or not. The ones in the picture are 630, expensive, but I like their design. The same ones are sold, it seems, for 100-200 rubles.
3. Universal headset between headphones and laptop.

Here is such an option, this is a headset that is connected between the laptop and headphones and plays the role of a microphone and a remote control. I really like my headphones, their cord is designed so that it breaks almost at the very earpiece, connects to the extension cord and goes into your device. This is Philips o'neill stretch, they wrote about them on Habré. So, this thing in the picture can be connected to the headphones themselves and my headphones will turn into a comfortable headset. I don't know if everything will be as good as they say in the description for this device, but I can go out and use it to solve my problem.
4. I tried to find a Bluetooth or wifi microphone, but I did not find anything like it, except for headsets. If you know something that might be of interest to me, I will be very grateful if you throw a link or a name or tell me where to look.
What are the pitfalls of these decisions?

1. This is not an adapter, but the most common USB sound card.
Depending on which one to take, and what kind of laptop, the sound can be better or worse.
2. This is an adapter, if you have a combined connector in your laptop - it will work fine, if not a combined one - accordingly it won’t, you need to look at the instructions for the laptop
3. Similarly to the second
4. It will also work, but will you bother with charging? Yes, and the sound quality is likely to be lower.
If the combined connector - take an adapter, and no problem. If not, take a sound card or headphones, where it comes in the kit or even built into the headphones (I have a Platronics Gamecom 777 - there is also a cool button on the sound card - it makes a nice surround sound).

If you were a little versed in technology and were friends with a soldering iron, then you could disassemble the laptop and make your own microphone connector.

Tell me, please, I bought expensive headphones with a microphone with a noise reduction system, there is one mini jack 3.5 plug, and I have a laptop with two inputs, separately for headphones and separately for a microphone. I know that there is a transition from two mini jack 2.5 to one 3.5, but can it be reversed? Help find. Thanks
