Airpods Max (is that the name?) - the big ones.

Yeah like the other commenters mentioned, using Bluetooth devices does not work super well at the moment. Hopefully I’ll have a fix at some point. There’s just some time over bluetooth to negotiate the connection and everything, and the app doesn’t do a good job showing this at all right now

On a Mac I definitely recommend using the internal mic even if wearing airpods
