If you're using them with Bluetooth, you're not only sounding worse than you could but also the audio that you get is much worse, because Bluetooth audio in bidirectional more is very low quality. I also use a QC3, but I bought a good desk USB mic and use the headphones just for output. I can hear people much better and vice-versa, and I'm even less tired throughout the day.

Tbh it's kind of strange that it's 2021 and we still can't have good quality bidirectional audio over bluetooth. WHY?

  Mostly because of the need to keep BT a low-energy medium. Bluetooth was designed for embedded devices that need to conserve power. That said, I know that there's active work going on, to improve this exact thing. Might be a while before we see video over BT, though.

    > Might be a while before we see video over BT, though. In which case would that be useful? There seems to be a range of broadcasting features, but if I'm not mistaken they mostly use WiFi.

      The nice thing about BT (in particular, BTLE), is the “light-touch” pairing. A lot simpler than most WiFi connections. Apple has a system that basically combines all of the available connection options, so it can appear as if BT is being used, but it’s really WiFi. Not sure if this type of “zero config” stuff is available in non-proprietary form, though.
