I guess it varies widely. The one in mine is a complete piece of shit, so I have it set to use only as headphones.

How is the microphone for phone calls?

Yeah, probably makes sense to have s standard check for each model. I had a nice pair, but something else can be a completely different story.

I asked my friends a couple of times when we had calls and some Discord conversations. No problems reported even when I was on a windy street at that time. I’m yet to see the spectrogram of their input, but I listened to my voice messages and they were fine. Obviously, not an all-purpose mic that can record music, but with a range of freqs that covers our speech it works no worse than industry standard, with airpods, dots and others. I even used it, stealthly, to record some IRL talks, just in case, and the result was clear. Their not-very-noticeable nature helps it.

I’ve done many of hours of phonecalls on mine. Mic quality is acceptable, slightly mushy. Wind is an issue for example when riding a bike at higher speeds. Wearing a hoodie over them can block the mic too.

People say they dont notice a difference between my shokz and my phone.
