Well I think it's worth bringing up, people buy headsets to be able to communicate and yet my friends are literally trying to return theirs because they can't communicate effectively in our parties. I've had much better audio quality from hidden mics in the past and as I say, I've had better mic quality from tacky things like earbuds.
It sounds worse than the mic in the Dual Sense itself.
Not an ideal comparison as it's two different people, but I've had the same experience in our parties, when they switch to any other mic that they have available, including the mic built into the Dual Sense itself, you seem to get considerably better audio quality.
For me, that's just not an acceptable quality at a £90 price point. I literally couldn't communicate with people like that. I play a lot of competitive games and I can't have people missing my coms because they're muffled and muddy.
Here's another comparison apparently from an ERA member, again the reddit thread is filled with posts saying the quality is poor.

But whatever you're happy with at the end of the day. It doesn't match the quality of mics that cost $10, so I'd say it's terrible, but if you're happy with it then it doesn't matter.
