The full review
Why wired beats Bluetooth for calls
For call quality, get a wired USB headset like the Jabra Evolve2 40, At its current price-150. The boom mic stays right by your mouth so your voice comes through clear, which is a big step up from Bluetooth earbuds or gaming headsets. Jabra is made for business calls, so the mic quality is actually good and it has noise cancellation built in.
Wired is also just more reliable than wireless for calls, no pairing drops, no dead battery mid-meeting, no Bluetooth latency making you talk over people. Plug it into USB and it works.
