    everyone in the Teams calls could hear me just fine through my MBP's microphone.

    Really very impressive.

    Is it Teams or is it the MacBook that is doing the heavy lifting?

    MacBook's do a reasonable job by themselves, directionally, but Teams adds
    to this by suppressing noises that don't sound like voice (e.g. the noise
    of your keyboard if you are typing).

    It was notable that the workman was wearing Airpods as ear defender's
    whilst still being able to listen to the radio outloud. lol.


    I do this at concerts and festivals as a really nice noise reduction
    system. They do overload and get a bit confused if it's *really* loud I
    found at one particularly screamy act - but they overcompensate and
    block more, rather than letting more through.
