#13 Zoom pro-tip:

Don’t use bluetooth headphones!

AirPods and others have degraded sound quality and introduce a bunch of latency.

Using a wired headset results in crystal clear audio. Your old wired Apple earbuds are a great option https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌" title="Ok hand" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand">
