Microphone quality on most of the other offerings is atrocious.

That said I wish these things didn't have a microphone. People tend to shout into them.

The microphone in Airpods is pretty bad too. One of my colleagues uses them paired to his Mac (maybe that's the issue?) and it sounds like the built in microphone on cheap laptops.

Haven't been my experience. They sound excellent for voice stuff (paired to the Mac/iPhone)

Maybe the output of Slack / Hangouts is set to the internal microphone? Happens to me all the time.
