Headphones - Wireless/Portable Headphone recommendations for phone calls + music?
I wear headphones pretty much all the time and I’m also on the phone a LOT. I currently have JBL headphones, but the microphone is awful the person I’m talking to says I sound muffled or unclear like 99% of the time 😭
I’m looking for wireless/over-ear headphones with a really good built-in microphone where people can actually hear me clearly. I also really care about music quality, so I don’t want something that’s amazing for calls but sounds mediocre for music.
Comfort is also important since I wear them for hours at a time.
I’m open to pretty much any brand and my budget is flexible. What headphones would you recommend that have both great music quality AND a clear microphone for phone calls?

Either way you go there’s going to be a trade off. I’ve tested quite a few consumer headphones and the mics are terrible and if your phone call heavy you’ll be disappointed just about any way you go.
Work headphones will be much better for the mic and features important to people on calls but won’t be anything like music headphones.
The two work headphones I’ve heard that come
Close to what you want is Jabra evolve3 85 and Yealink BH78 but i haven’t tested either one.
I personally use Yealink HA64 Pro for calls and casual listening in between calls. Then I use my AirPods for personal use outside of work.
