    AirPods not working in stereo mode. Hands-Free works but very poor quality.


    I use AirPods for all my calls on many apps such as Zoom and Discord. I’ve been noticing that the Stereo version of the AirPods sounds great! The quality of the voices and music is absolutely amazing. But I can’t speak and let everyone hear my voice when I am on that mode. So now I just use the Hands-Free mode which I absolutely hate. The quality of the people’s voices and the music is so poor. My voice is also very bad, and I just hate it. Is there some way I can have clear audio playing, and having my mic be great as well?

    :)

    Airpods Pro: very bad quality in Headset mode on Windows 10

    Dear all,

    I've got my new Airpods Pro, they work well with my iPhone.
    Also on Windows 10 via bluetooth, sound quality is good when using the "Airpods stereo" mode.

    However, in the headset mode ("Airpods Hands-Free AG Audio") sound and especially microphone quality is extremely bad. I tried to change the default format (see screenshot, it's only 8000Hz), but I cannot change it as it's grey. Any advice to get a better
    microphone quality?

  3. poor sound quality in my airpods pro when connected to my computer.

    When I'm listening to music on my computer (with windows 10) with my AirPods pro the quality of the sounds is really poor.

    is there anything that I can do to improve it? I heard that I will need to change the protocol for the computer and the AirPods, is that right?

    Bluetooth airpods will only play hands-free audio, stereo audio does not work

    I've been trying to get my bluetooth airpods to play stereo audio for awhile now but no matter what I've tried nothing seems to work. I've done everything you can imagine with the drivers, I did a system restore, I tried to set the audio as default etc.
    I not sure what else to do.
