Step-by-Step Fix
1
Clean Mic Hole
Use a pin or brush to remove lint from the tiny microphone opening.
2
Check Input Settings
Ensure the system is using the headset mic, not the laptop's built-in mic.

Disable "Enhancements"
Turn off "Noise Suppression" in Windows/Mac settings to see if it improves clarity.
When to See a Technician
Bluetooth mics often sound worse than wired ones due to bandwidth limitations.
