• Use AirPods or similar when on calls.

    I find these to be the worst.

    My calls are a mix of Zoom, Meet, and Signal calls... I do everything via the computer, and all wired. Typically 30 minutes... somewhere in the range of 12-14 meetings per day.

    What I loathe is how the bluetooth ones compress audio (so I never use the microphones on them) and have a tendency to disconnect resulting in messy meetings as participants reconnect.

    Whilst I'd consider wireless, I suspect that if I go that route I'll opt for stage wireless systems using radio rather than bluetooth. But I'd want to find the right headphone / earphone / IEM before considering whether I want to go wireless on it.

  • I've the excitement of a similar number of meetings and I definitely wouldn't recommend wireless (well bluetooth) for video calls/meets. The app prioritisation (on Windows at least) means that app notifications often disconnect me from the call to play the notification sound. It's particularly annoying when on calls with large audiences and people joining/leaving regularly.

    You can change the settings on email, slack etc. and can prioritise video conferencing in audio settings, but it's a bit like playing whack-a-mole across multiple video platforms.
