It's widely known that the call quality on sony XM3s is very poor, definitely not "perfect for video calls".

Sony XM series does not have a Mute Mic function!! How are they even on this list at all, let alone 1st place ?!
They are propably sponsoring whathifi.

I came here because I have a pair of Cambridge Audio Melomania and the microphone is terrible to the point I have had to stop using them for video calls because so many say they can't hear me properly.

I also have a pair of AKG Y500s that worked great up to the point a Microsoft update stopped the microphone working in Windows and Samsung (who own the AKG brand) just shrugged.

If this list is really about the best headphones for use with a video call they really should only include those with effective microphones and that work with the most common operating system for video calls in the professional world.
