Call microphone quality was a major strength across reviews, with several reports of clear calls in offices, traffic, or windy settings.
Pros: Codec support, Dongle
Cons: Sound leakage, Find My
Call mic quality ranges from meh and passable to crisp or excellent, so the experience appears highly reviewer-dependent.
Pros: Weight comfort, Button control usability
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Smudge resistance
Call quality was acceptable to good, with clear voices but a slightly hollow character in one test.
Pros: Stability, Battery
Cons: Volume output, Cable quality
Call microphone impressions were mixed: one review called the mic the weakest area, while others found it improved or better than simpler mic setups.
Pros: Audio-video sync accuracy, Weight comfort
Cons: Sidetone adjustment quality, Microphone noise reduction
