Ive been searching and iterating on how to effectively dial into zoom calls on the go. At this point I have subjected my colleagues and board members to hours of terrible audio, and Im still figuring it out!

I use an iPhone 15 pro max, great for reception quality. The built-in mic is so far the best option!

Airpods pro, my first attempt to do better, perform really really terribly in the wind. Speakerphone is better.

My next attempt for open-ear will be the BiKom 20, I found a set on ebay for 180.

This aligns nicely to escape’s review: https://escapecollective.com/the-quest-for-a-wind-noise-solution-cyclists-will-actually-wear/

I use a regular helmet and a ski helmet mostly, which are very different. The ski helmet protects from noise, and I need earbuds to hear. But it also jams the earbuds in, after an hour it hurts. There is some ability for people to hear me when I use airpods with the ski helmet and face mask protecting from wind. Without the ski helmet, traffic is still too loud to hear reliably over 20mph, so I need headphones. But Ill switch to speaker to be heard.

30cent Lapel mic is actually pretty great, but I have to rely on speaker to hear for this.
