    Bluetooth Headphone Mic sounds exactly the same as the internal mic on my laptop


    I bought a pair of new Bluetooth headphones, which has Bluetooth 5.0 on it. When I tried using the mic, I found that the bluetooth headphone mic and the internal mic on my Asus Zenbook 14 UM425, sound exactly the same. I confirmed this using a voice recorder, and other communication apps.I have tried disabling the internal mic from the sound control panel and setting the bluetooth headset mic to be the default mic, however the mic still sounds the same. Is there a way to fix this problem?

    Headphone mic not working with laptop 3.5mm port

    I have sennheiser hd4.40 wireless headphone. I also got a cable with headphone having 2.5mm pin(attached to headphone) to 3.5mm pin(attached to mobile phone).

    Problem is that when i connect 3.5mm pin to my mobile phone headphone jack, in call i am able to use mic and headphone both at same time but:

    1. When i connect the 3.5mm pin to 3.5mm jack for mic on my laptop, i am not able to use the mic.(my laptop has separate 3.5mm mic and 3.5mm headphone jack)
    2. When i connect to 3.5mm jack for headphone, only headphone is working with laptop not mic.

    Please do not suggest why I am not using Bluetooth because it is a separate problem.

    I am missing something or maybe this may be limitation or something else. Help me on this. :-(

    Computer Won't Use Headphone Mic

    Are you using a wired or wireless connection?

    If you are using Bluetooth you will find there is a gotcha when using a headset with a microphone. With Bluetooth 4.x there is not enough bandwidth for both the headset's stereo speakers and the microphone at the same time. If the headset's speakers are used in mono mode then the microphone will work. Here is the information from my computer:
    I I left-click on speaker icon on taskbar tray I see my options for the speakers:

    • Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) = Laptops built-in speakers
    • Headphones (Arctis 3 Bluetooth Stereo) = Headphones stereo mode
    • Headphones (Arctis 3 Bluetooth Hands-Free AG Audio) = Headphones mono mode
    I found out that if I select "Headphones (Arctis 3 Bluetooth Hands-Free AG Audio)" the headset microphone will work.

    However, I found that next time the computer might choose "Headphones (Arctis 3 Bluetooth Stereo)". Then the headset speakers will work but the the headset microphone will not work.

    To ensure that the right selection is always done automatically I have to go further and set the default to "Headphones (Arctis 3 Bluetooth Hands-Free AG Audio)".
    Note I can always override this at any time. To do this...
    I right-click on speaker icon on taskbar tray and left-click on Sounds

    Bluetooth Headphone Mic sounds exactly the same as the internal mic on my laptop [​IMG]


    The first tab Playback is for the speakers

    • Headset = Headphones mono mode
    • Headphones = Headphones stereo mode
    • Speakers = Laptops built-in speakers

    Bluetooth Headphone Mic sounds exactly the same as the internal mic on my laptop [​IMG]



    The second tab Recording is for the microphone

    • Headset = Headset's microphone
    • Microphone Array = Laptop's built-in microphone
    • Stereo Mix = N/A

    Bluetooth Headphone Mic sounds exactly the same as the internal mic on my laptop [​IMG]


    To ensure that both the headset speakers and microphone work at the same time I set the default playback to Headset. This will put the headset in mono mode and allow the microphone to work. Note that if I disconnect the headset the computer will automatically revert back to using the built-in speakers and microphone.

    Bluetooth headphone mic and stereo audio not working simultaneously on laptop

    I have a Sennheiser HD4.40BT bluetooth headphone.

    When I connect this to my android phone, I can listen stereo quality music and while call, I can hear other person clearly and use the mic also.

    Problem appear when I connected headphone with my laptop through laptop's inbuilt bluetooth.

    The problem is headphone is connecting in one of 2 ways: Headphone mode and Headset mode(with mic).

    - When I select headphone mode, sound is great but I cannot use my mic.

    - When I select headset mode(or handsfree mode), I continuously hear static and very poor audio quality but can use mic with this mode.

    I already read to disable headset mode to get stereo quality but "this is not my purpose".

    What I want is to use headphone with stereo audio and mic simultaneously.
