I ended up returning mine as I got feedback from a few people that I sounded distant and in general had a hard time hearing me when I was using them. I wanted to use them for work, so poor call quality was a dealbreaker for me. Also, the fact that it has no dedicated mute button also turned out

The one major bug I’m dealing with and don’t recall reading about in the AppleVis write-up is that when the phone is unlocked, notifications are silent. I don’t know if for sighted people the banner comes up, but with VoiceOver at least, you are left oblivious as to any sort of incoming
