Not really. ... good luck!

(Having _one_ clear voice channel is easy -- I had that. Having _two_
clear channels + extreme latency is easy, too. Having something usable
seemed too hard to me.)

Echo cancel should only be neccessary for speakerphone...

Year is long time :-). But I'd recommend Droid 4 or PinePhone/Librem5
if voice calls are priority.
