AirPods Pro: Bad Sound Quality on MacBook Pro

Hi there!


I'm using the newest AirPods Pro with my MacBook Pro. When I use my AirPods for calls (e.g. Teams, Skype, ...) the sound quality is horrible (really noisy = like the headphones sounded 20 years ago) and my colleagues tell me that my microphone quality is really bad. What can I do?


Thank you!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.6

There is a thread from 2017 (5 years ago!) with a workaround:

They suggest to use the internal microphone instead of the mic from the AirPods. The workaround works for me.


It seems like a software bug, since they're working fine with my iPhone and iPad. Why isn't this bug fixed yet?


How can that be? Those are the newest AirPods Pro and I'm using them within the ecosystem of Apple...

(I mean this is no Windows computer - it's a Apple Device!)
