I've taken calls walking home in the wind, and it's sounded like I'm inside. I've taken calls on a very loud train, and my clients couldn't hear any of the background noise. But these have some kind of uncanny sound localization/background noise removal features that I just love. They also pair to your smart phone for taking calls on the go. They have a USB dongle for skype, coems through crystal clear. sound seems blurry and while audible, it lacks clarity in most cases. It performs well against internet meetings such as Hangout and Zoom that I can hear others well (connect to laptop via bluetooth) but somehow it performs mediocre on actual phone number conversations. I'm using Samsung Gear IconX 2018 with note 8 and it's ok. I was at home and my laptop was on a wired connection and typically super fast all the time (I game, download a lot) and do all volunteer meetings via Hangout. I mean of course I still sucked, probably can't make past final round and nothing to blame but can't deny the fact that the audio/video quality and internet connection really interrupted entire flow of conversations when it took a lot of prep to land on this interview. conversation flow was frequently interrupted. one interviewer I met at MBB interview seemed to be talking directly into the laptop embedded microphone (he was leaning very close to the webcam screen) with a terrible webcam quality (it literally looked like phone camera quality you get in early 2000s) with 15 fps kind of feel and literally things were getting cut off every few seconds that I kept asking at least 3-4 times 'sorry I couldn't hear you, noise, etc etc' and had no choice but to ask because I was doing a case. I had no problem listening to him, sound quality was normal. interviewer was using bundled iphone earphone that has microphone in the middle of a cable, so they were speaking into the microphone holding it. I've interviewed various times for cross-state and international roles in the US and Asia (non-local) so I get involved with a lot of zoom and hangout interviews and I recall I always did interviews in fear.
