HFP has less latency though, doesn't it? And using the headset mic is probably better if the room is loud or has poor acoustics.

Not to mention the combination of "microphone in the laptop body + person who doesn't turn off their microphone when they're not speaking + person who seems to never stop typing during a call" tends to be distracting at best.

Bluetooth codecs/profiles do not enforce social norms. And I hope they never will.

EDIT: they also won't get rid of useless meetings where people are not mentally present but do other stuff instead.

Guess I gotta correct my assumptions then, I clearly thought they did.

Regardless, microphones built-in the same body people type against will remain a personal pet-peeve for me.

One must follow protocol!

Don't forget "exhaust fan outlet located next to the mic and about to take off"

Sure, but janky $30 wireless gaming headsets have even lower latency, with better audio quality, than Bluetooth handsfree, so it's still sad that anything still uses it.

To be fair, even with no noise, the HFP has such bad encoding that it doesn't mean much if the room is noisy or not.

Also the sound isolation tech should be orthogonal to using HFP.
