Getting a headset is important, but it doesn't help with latency. That huge amounts of latency are somehow considered acceptable in these communication channels drives me mad.

We optimized for cost by making things packet-switched.
The latency for phone calls on copper wires back in the late 90s was great, but I am definitely glad that a modern video call doesn't require paying, say $3.00/min/person in the way that long distance did back then.

Yeah, I'm in agreement that voice latency has to be fixed. We would switch to text chat rather than deal with voice latency.
