Probably won't help, but I find that headsets sound much worse when they're connected as a headset. My (completely different headphones/headset) sounds a lot better in headphone mode.
Yeah, there are different bluetooth audio profiles, one for high quality audio intended for media consumption, and one for bi-directional audio intended for telephony (and some others, but these are the relevant ones here). The "gotcha" is that in general, any attempt to consume the mic feed from a bluetooth headset will switch it to the telephony mode, so if you have them paired to a PC and an application is listening to the mic for any purpose you get stuck with much lower quality 64kbps PCM audio.
Or worse: it's in telephone mode now, so obviously you only want the sound from the "call" because there's no other reasons the microphone could be on.
Good to know, thanks!
Thank you for explaining that far better than I could!
