Hi guys, I use a pixel phone with the pixel buds pro. I would love to eventually replace the pixel buds but my main concern is that I often watch YouTube videos while on a WhatsApp call with my gf. I've tried the cmf buds and a pair of soundcore headphones that I own but they default to handsfree profile and the audio quality from the video drops significantly. I figured there most be some specialized Google codecs in play with the pixel buds. Is this common? What are my options? Chat gpt suggested the new Sony earbuds but frankly I don't understand the tech behind this issue and they are too pricey for experimentation. Thanks in advance!
