In the beginning, I only had the MX (Mac Specific) mouse, and the problem did not happen very often. On occasion, but not too bad. After one of the OS updates, it was a non-stop issue. Disabling the auto switching (between Apple devices) helped a little.
Later, I also bought the MX Keys (Mac Specific) keyboard. I started having issues with a non-Apple headset on/off out of the blue. I could never use my AirPods with my laptop for anything other than listening to music. I tried everything from killing Bluetooth pref, to resetting my AirPods.
What finally solved it? I deleted all Logitech Devices from my laptop. Reset all Bluetooth settings. Re-paired my AirPods. I have not had a single problem in audio quality for 3 months now.
My Logitech devices are just sitting off to the side collecting dust now.
This might be a silly question, but I'm assuming the AirPods are connected to the same MBP? I'm finding this entire conversation fascinating because I routinely use a Logitech MX (anywhere 3) for Mac mouse and Airpods (Pro). However, the mouse is connected to a Mac Mini and my Airpods to my iphone. I take all of my Zoom calls from my iPhone and dual connect to Zoom if I need to share my screen.
I don't think I've ever had massive amounts of interference between the AirPods and my mouse. I'm wondering if this is a case where connecting to two different devices is somehow mitigating this issue.
I've also done it where my MX mouse is connected to my MBP, but my AirPods are connected to my iPhone. That works fine!
Edited: forgot the words "do not reference"
The Bluetooth and USB experience with this machine has been nothing but trouble for me.
My solution is: 1. Connect headphones, assuming mouse is already connected. 2. Turn off mouse. 3. Join call. 4. Turn mouse back on.
Since then, Zoom works mostly, google meets requires it every time.
It's mostly fine, but I also step away from my desk. I wish I could also prioritize my microphone.
1. Webcam (if I'm at my desk, I have my webcam) 2. MacBook Pro (if I'm away from my desk, my computer is still probably within range of my MX mouse)
Bluetooth audio is in a sorry state, unfortunately.
So I have three Intel-based MacBook Pros but of different model years - 2017 (15in), early-2019 (13in), and mid-2019 (16in).
The mid-2019 16in MacBook Pro in combination with Logitech MX Mouse (Mac version) and AirPod Pros cause significant interference on the microphone.
The result? I sound like a "robot" on Zoom calls. It drives me crazy - enough to revert back to my early-2019 laptop to handle calls.
I'm not really sure what to do here other than remove one of those factors from the equation... and I'm not sure the dongle is compatible with the Mac-version of the MX Master mouse.
