Image/Picture Clarity8%▆██▆▅▅

couldn't get a full clear image

Quite expensive for what youre actually getting, image quality dips when using these, although this happens with every phone headset, for reference, Id say it takes a 1440p video to around 720p possibly 1080p

The corners of the image are also get blurry
