Holy crap, yes. I started having conferences with people using Air Pods and they're dropping out so much. Please get an external mic!

  Don't think this is an issue with AirPods. In my team more than 50% of us are using AirPods during meetings for years and we never had an issue with dropping sound, at all... Jitter on people's Wi-Fi networks, yes, that causes a lot of issues with video + audio but specifically from AirPods? Getting an external mic for what reason, exactly? More e-waste for what benefit?

    If nothing else, a wired mic is going to have a lot lower latency. Latency is the mind killer. Latency is the little-death that brings total obliteration. Etc. Adding bluetooth latency to the rest of a generally awful stack of latency can push you through tolerable latency into the kind of latency where you have to start adding over after each transmission. And worse when it's inconsistent. Wired mic, wired ethernet helps with consistency.

      For me it's the random up/down volume for voices. I can usually tolerate a small amount of dropouts but for whatever reason, someone using airpods tends to vary so much in volume I just can't parse what they are saying.
