Just get a multi layered, charcoal infused filter for cleaner air inside the cabin. Fram makes a good example and it's available at all Walmarts.
Pros: cleaner air inside
Cons: not inexpensive

Mann Charcoal activated Cabin air filter
Pros: good filtration
Cabin filter in a somewhat older honda cost €6 and took about two minutes to replace.
Pros: cheap, easy to replace
Vehicle:
Honda
I bought a Fram/Arm & Hammer cabin filter from Walmart for about $20
Pros: inexpensive
I'm a WIX filter fan myself (though virtually anything that fits properly will be effective). If it were up to me, I'd go with a WIX WP10320. Rock Auto (.com) has them for $15 (+ shipping). They aren't charcoal, but electrostatic which is a bit fancier.
Pros: effective, easy install
Part number: WP10320
The service writer asked if I saw the video from the mechanic and asked if I had any questions. That was it. I had them do an inspection and they recommended the cabin air filter and the engine air filter for almost $300 but no one even mentioned it. Obviously I did them myself for $40.
Pros: did them myself
Cons: dealer is expensive
Vehicle:
Audi
Tbh I was looking a lot into them. I just ended up going to the Honda delaership in person and buying their Honda OEM filter they had for $45~ CAD. Save myself all the labour and markup and the fit was super nice. Most filters have a bad fit so even though it says it’ll go for the car you have it’s not a snug fit
Pros: super nice fit, good quality
Cons: bad fit
I always pass on their $59 cabin air filters though, and just pick up a new one for $14 at the auto parts store down the road.
Pros: cheaper at auto store
Cons: expensive at Valvoline
Go to Part Source. Take your filter in and see if it matches the CF11819 FRAM Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter for $30 dollars. Note, some of the filters on Amazon do not have the same amount of pleats as the OEM or the FRAM.
Pros: cheap alternative available
Cons: fewer pleats than OEM
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Part number: CF11819
One out of two times they gave me the wrong engine filter, even though they searched by VIN number. The second, and last time, I purchased from them, they sold me an aftermarket cabin filter for the same price as OEM.
Pros: null
Cons: wrong filter, overpriced aftermarket
Vehicle:
Mazda
