I bought a thing with ANC for the ANC. It turns out that when I'm making calls the other person says I'm muffled and they can't make out what I'm saying. They sound equally muffled to me. Perhaps it's my mouth, vocal cords, or distance from mouth to ear that is faulty and not the device. I've processed many tens of thousands of dollars through Wise. Now they've balanced their risk on a $60 purchase into not having me as a customer anymore.

It sounds (hah) like the device has a bad model for the one you're using it in. Given you can't get a refund, it would be interesting to see if it works in other devices better. the conversion of the barrel plug from one, to two, then three, and four, makes for some "interesting" problems in how they disambiguate the microphone from audio signal in the plugging. I have from time to time had to use intermediary cables which separate out the functions: a Rode+ microphone for instance I simply could not directly plug into my devices. My guess is they inverted the logic of tip and ring: the muffled sound may be that its leakage across, not actually the prime signal. But that said, if you can turn off ANC and it works fine, then yes: its about something else which can include its bust.
