I'm planning to buy new earphones because the one I have now makes it hard to do video calls. I had a hard time understanding what the other person was saying. What earphones would you recommend?

I'm not someone who can comfortably use earbuds, so I usually go for the over the ear headphones. I've been using the ones made by Bose. I believe they're just called the Bose 700. I can wear them for hours without feeling too hot. The mic works perfectly. The downside? Well, that's the price. I got a discount through work, or I'm not sure that I would've sprung for them.

Hi, I too go for over the ear ones. I like my Sennheiser HD280 Pro and AT ATH-MR7 phones. There are newer models of each. The HD280s seem to be used by DJs and the ATs more for hi-fi. Both have excellent sound and are confortable.

Good Listening

I've used a couple of earphones in the past to come to the conclusion that the issue that you are currently having with your earphones has to do with either  microphone performance or noise isolation.

This is the reason I am always careful when it comes to picking the earphones that I use. I consider factors such as active noise cancellation. And how strong the battery can last for longer calls.

So, if you won't mind spending above 100 bucks on getting one, then the Sony WF-1000XM6 is the one I think you should go for. That's what I use, and its performance has been fantastic for longer calls with its solid battery life. It cost me $220 when I purchased it, but I don't know how much it goes right now.
