Ask HN: Recs on Bluetooth headsets for conference calls?

1 pointsby kaptainabout 4 years ago
I know that Bluetooth has limitations for audio quality but I&#x27;m looking for a high-quality Bluetooth headset that has an excellent microphone.<p>Audio playback (i.e. the headphones) can be okay but I&#x27;m interested in giving the rest of the call participants a high quality audio experience. I&#x27;ve found that participants on a conference call engage more deeply when the video and audio sound better.<p>Right now I have AirPods Pro. The microphone capture quality is just so-so (I do a test call to myself); the built-in laptop microphone sounds better.<p>One option is a stand-alone Bluetooth microphone, but the only reason I&#x27;m choosing Bluetooth is for convenience and aesthetic reasons, otherwise I&#x27;d go wired. Thanks!

I own a Sony WH-1000XM3, and although I primarily use it for music listening and noise cancelling I use it for all of my video calls.<p>I&#x27;ve looked at a few reviews that are so-so on the microphone, but on the occasion that I ask people they say I sound fine.<p>I recommend checking out Reddit&#x27;s &#x2F;audiophile subreddit if you want to get more intel: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;audiophile&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;audiophile&#x2F;</a><p>Review: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.soundguys.com&#x2F;sony-wh-1000xm3-wireless-bluetooth-headphones-review-19824&#x2F;#microphone" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.soundguys.com&#x2F;sony-wh-1000xm3-wireless-bluetooth...</a>
