Like it was mentioned already, BT will be the limiting factor but also the audio compression codec used by your calling app (Teams, Zoom etc.) You'll get better results with a headset that has a boom mike, stay away from the ones with the microphones built into the ear cups, they will make you sound even more muffled to the other party. Since you want wireless, here's the three setups that have boom mikes I've used: Airpods Max with a wireless Antlion mod mic (attaches magnetically to the ear cup) - best option for sound quality and noise suppression or transparency for you, but obviously not within the budget amount you've mentioned. Jabra Evolve 75 - overall a good option, comes with a USB dongle for your computer which is way more stable and easier to use than regular BT (which it also has). You'll sound just fine to the other party and it even has some rudimentary active noise cancellation. Good option overall, I don't like use it though because I hate not being able to hear myself when I speak, so I always used to shift one ear cup sideways to open up an ear so I could hear myself clearly. The battery life is amazing, they'll easily last the whole day and then some. Also have multipoint connection, ie they'll connect via the dongle to your laptop and via BT to your phone or tablet, and you can seamlessly switch between the two. Great set if you don't mind not hearing yourself clearly while talking. Shokz Opencomm 2 UC - a bone conduction set, meaning that the sound is not produced by a speaker sitting on or over your ear, but by two fully enclosed transducers which sit on your temples in front of your ears. Pluses - comes with a USB (type A or type C) dongle so super stabled and no hassles with dropped BT connectivity or Teams decided to switch to your laptop mic and speakers after an update or a restart. Because your ears are not obstructed in any way, you have full auditory awareness of what's going on around you, this can be a plus or a minus depending on your environment and preference. The headset is super lightweight and you can barely feel it after a while. Also the battery lasts all day. The minuses - again, no sonic isolation or active noise cancelling for obvious reasons, the sound quality is great for speech but not so much for music since they're optimized for the vocal dynamic range. Also, some people report that they experience discomfort wearing them - I can see where that is coming from but I am used to wearing them. Overall, their pros definitely outweigh the small cons for me and this is now the headset I use for daily calls while working from home pretty much full time. Answer from Uncleeegz on reddit.com

r/HeadphoneAdvice on Reddit: Bluetooth headphones with the best microphone for taking calls?
December 20, 2023 -

I wanted to ask what the best options are when im looking for a pair of bluetooth headphones that have a good mic suitable for calls. My budget is 225 USD. And yes know that i would get better sound for cheaper with a wire but they have to be wireless.

When i looked into this i found that bose (specifically the Bose 700) is supposed to have very good microphones but i also wanted an outside opinion.

Thanks :D

Phone as a computer headset?
from my knowledge this is impossible. aux is a 3 pin analog system. 1 pin is a shared ground, the other 2 are L and R sound. Sound controller on ur pc might be able to control both at the same time, but a mobile phone isnt designed to do that simultaneously. a shared ground would also cause interference between inbound and outbound voltages. youd need diodes to stop this. bluetooth and usb are however 2 way capable and would fit this, but I dont believe even the s10 was designed for 2 way input and output in this sense. allthough I can use a mic+audio gaming headset with my phone in calls, and I have the s8. but I think this is an enclosed system, the phone is still only receiving. but I could be entirely wrong, wouldnt be the first time someone is wrong on the internet haha -source: I was an electrical engineering student More on reddit.com

Can I use my phone as a microphone and headset?

Yes but it will be of awful quality. Look for a "megaphone" app that takes sound in and plays it out via the audio jack. Plug the audio jack from your phone into the Microphone port on your computer. That should work, but sadly the phone won't be able to play sound from your computer. Good luck! :)
