AirPods 3rd Generation Call Quality Issues: Seeking Help and Advice!

Hey everyone,

I'm encountering frustrating problems with my AirPods 3rd Generation during phone calls. People on the other end complain that I sound distant, muffled, and keep cutting in and out. I've tried troubleshooting by cleaning the headsets, resetting them, and even disabling Bluetooth on my Mac to minimise interference. Strangely, the sound quality for music seems perfectly fine. It's perplexing because I never experienced any issues with my 2nd generation AirPods before.

If any of you have encountered similar problems or have any insights and suggestions, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks in advance!
