S20+ Bluetooth Headphones Call Distortion

Hi all,

I wanted to see if anyone has experienced this same issue and/or has any suggestions on how to fix:

When I use my Master and Dynamic MW07+ earbuds to make phone calls (or even WhatsApp calls) with my S20+, the phone call almost immediately becomes significantly distorted and doesn't go away unless I turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on. The same thing will then happen a few minutes later.

Weirdly, this doesn't happen when I'm listening to music. I can listen for hours without issue.

I previously used these earbuds with a Pixel 2 and didn't have this issue. I also used these earbuds with my wife's iPhone 11 and again there were no issues. Interestingly, I also tried a phone call with my cheap Anker headphones and didn't have any issues with the S20+.

This seems to only happen with my S20+ and specifically with these earbuds (which I already replaced via warranty once). Any ideas what is going on and what to try?
