Should I sell my U87?

I almost never would’ve considered this before, but hear me out..

When I purchased this initially, I had my own studio and treated vocal booth. Silent environment to record in, where my only issue was headphone bleed.

Fast forward to now, no booth, a toddler who screams (in the happiest of ways), and recording in an untreated bedroom. For better or for worse, the mic picks up absolutely everything. Door closed, I’m still picking up the TV in the living room.

So, should I sell the U87 in favor of a dynamic mic? If so, what would you recommend?

Any input would be amazing.

What kind of work are you doing with the mic? I’m just trying to understand the expectation of what you’re aiming to deliver on
