Here are two factors:
Cellphone audio is transmitted at some ridiculously low bitrate (8k?).
AirPods, and probably other Bluetooth headphones, reduce the audio output quality when the mic is on. This is to save on battery life.
- anotherhue 4y agoIt's more of a latency thing, though modern codecs should be able to move past that restriction. Most HFP devices still drop into mid '90s mode for call audio.
- rcme 4y agoWhy does audio latency matter when the mic is active?
- themitigating 4y agoIf you are talking to someone it's bidirectional and high lag can make a conversation annyoing where you interupt people
- rcme 4y agoThat's surprising to me. It's very distracting to watch a video of someone talking that has even a slight audio sync issue. The noticeable delay when watching a video is surely greater than the delay required for people to start talking over each other.
- themitigating 4y agoYes but visual cues help you know when the other person wants to talk. Body language
- bestham 4y agoEither you are participating in a audio or video call and your audio is bidirectional or you are watching a video with stereo sound. If the latter the video player should buffer the video and adjust the delay of showing it to match up with the delay of the audio sink. If not there is a problem in your device.
