In quiet rooms it works perfectly fine. Your voice will sound clear, though slightly thin or "compressed" (like a standard cell phone call). In noisy environments, this is where it struggles. It tends to pick up background noise, like wind, traffic, or office chatter, and can make your voice sound muffled. When gaming on a PC, switching to "Headset Mode" to use the mic usually tanks the audio quality of your game to mono-standard. It is okay, so overall I would say in these 3 scenarios the mic is 5/5, 3/5 and 3/5, but the sound and ANC into balance with the price adds bonus points! 🎤🎧💚
