iphone 14 pro armband phone holder straps cover microphone
Is there a recommended iPhone 14 pro armband that does not impede/cover the microphone?
I do a lot of physical labor for work and hobbies, which exposes my phone to (sweat, dirt, water, dust, and heat); I like to have my phone handy for photos, and I listen to music via Airpods gen 2; my series 8 Apple watch has proven extremely useless...
I have a VUP Running Armband 360°Rotatable for iPhone that is a velcro strap, easily adjustable, and securely holds my phone. However, of the rubber straps that secure each corner of the phone, the bottom two completely cover the speakers/microphone, causing Siri communication to be even more difficult than usual. She (Siri) doesn't hear me and misunderstands me (after 3-4 attempts at a dictated text that is so far off from what I actually said, I end up stopping what I'm doing, taking off my dirty gloves, removing the armband and manually typing the text); If I want to skip a song, pause music, etc. I have to bring my arm very close to my mouth and speak rather loudly.
I have tried resetting my voice recognition with Siri; my phone is fully updated; I have cleared any debris from my speakers; I have replaced, cleaned, and updated my Airpods, etc.
I have serious love/hate, need/want/despise feelings for technology; I feel confident in my tech savviness.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
How to fix Siri issues, or which armband is most compatible?
I will discuss the Apple Watch issues at another time..... what a waste of time and money.
