I am looking to upgrade my headset to have better quality for my cold calls (currently using Airpods). Would love to get perspectives on what you like and why?

I have used many headsets over the the years, and I now use these 2 as a team: My primary is the Jabra Evolve 75 which is Bluetooth and includes USB dongle. Going on 5 years use, with no issues, it is a little heavy, but great Noise Cancelling both headset and mic, and 14 hours battery for all day use. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0719MD79F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - My second is the Ngsod Bluetooth Headset - This little guy has a Dual Microphone Noise Cancelling, so it is great for driving and also looks professional on Video Calls. It will go for well over a week on one charge, but found that my inner ear gets dry/sore if i wear it all day https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WH42TXB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 - A common theme to both is the Noise Cancelling mics since our customers/prospects deserve the courtesy of hearing us clearly especially when leaving a VM..

I was really hoping someone had a different set of answers for cold calling vs warm leads vs investor calls (being facetious). I use my wired old Samsung headset that has worked without problem on video/chats from my laptop. Would not say it's the best sound.
We have a clip-on small microphone for our phones if recording (social media big part of marketing for wife's business).

On my phone for calls, mixed bag for what works consistently and where I am, Sony WF-1000XM4's are great when they work and terrible when being particular - if I'm moving around too much the noise-canceling doesn't like to work.
So, to answer, really depends on how you're taking the majority of your calls - laptop/mobile/wired and what you want to do to facilitate that. I know quite a few people who love pacing while doing the calls, so wired isn't an option. Seems we have a ton of recs from people for what's good/great/bad above! Excited to try the set-top mic or two for recording.
