    Bad Mic Quality even though i have a Good Headset


    So i got a good Headset but the Mic is really bad. I think it has something to do with the audio enhancements setting but the setting doesn't exist on my PC. I have no idea why that's happening. I hope somebody has an idea how to fix it.

    :)

  2. Is it possible to use a bluetooth headset mic while having High quality sound

    I have a Plantronics BackBeat Sense SE bluetooth headset. When Connecting it to Windows 10, it installs two profiles in Playback devices list:

    1. PLT_BBTSENSE Hands-Free.
    2. PLT_BBTSENSE Stereo.

    The Second one (Stereo) is set to be the "Default Device" and the "Default Communication Device" on the system.

    At this point the sound works great and normally. The problem happens when I want to use the mic. When I start any program that uses the mic (recorder, chat, VoIP Calls, gaming, etc.) The sound suddenly stops working And I can only use the mic until I stop the recorder or the call.

    The thing that kind of fixes the problem is setting the (Hands-Free) as the default device. I can hear the sound when I do that and it works with the mic but it becomes Very bad quality.

    What I became to understand is that bluetooth had different profiles for sound and mic: A2DP and HSP. The first handle the voice(High Quality) but the latter handles the mic and reduces the sound quality.

    Is this really the case? Is there anyway to make them work simultaneously? Is there any solution to this problem at all?

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Bad Mic Quality even though i have a Good Headset :p

    I appreciate it I was more looking to see if anyone knows something that can fit my bill in that budget. Trust me I know all about the $300 range and even considered audio technica m50x with a condenser mic *Stick Out Tongue Bad Mic Quality even though i have a Good Headset :p
