I got off a call today, and someone messaged me saying, “You really should change your input mic, those headphones make you sound like a robot.”
The thing is I had been using these headphones all week; and no one said a thing.
I felt like I had broccoli stuck between my teeth.
Curious, I asked around, and most people said something like, “Oh yeah, the sound quality wasn’t great, but I could still understand you.”
Sure, it may have passed the minimum bar, but most of my job is speaking to other people, so I want communication to be as clear as possible.
I learnt two things today: never hesitate to tell someone their audio sucks, and take the same attitude with broccoli between the teeth.
What goes around comes around.
