Windows 10: Bluetooth headphones connection - headset mode only

Hey, I've bought panasonic wireless headphones and I tried connecting them with my phone (S8) and it works perfectly. With my Lenovo laptop with windows 10 on the other hand it was a total disaster. I've been trying so solve the problem for a few weeks now. My headphones only connect as a headset which means the sound quality is very very poor. Rarely I manage to connect them in stereo mode.

Bluetooth drivers are updated, I tried turning off hands free telephony, reinstalled all the drivers, restarted pc and still nothing. Does someone have a solution for this. I mean it's 2019 and wireless headphones are nothing new, yet windows 10 cannot manage them. That's just ridiculous.

Bluetooth headphones connect but headset portion does not


I have the exact same problem with my Bluebuds X





I have tried to manually add a driver through windows driver update (you can choose a driver device from the list)
but i'm not sure which one is compatible and had no luck getting the headset portion to work... *Sad




Please let me know if you have found a solution!

Thanks!

All,

I have a surface pro 4, fully updated. I also have a pair of Revo bluetooth headphones. They also feature blutetooth calling capabilities (i.e. microphone).

I used to connect these without a problem. Recently something strange has been happening. Now when they connect on the headphones (i.e. stereo audio only) is recognized as an audio device.

Normally Windows recognizes headsets like this as two separate devices - headphones for audio and headsets for calling. I can confirm that device manager sees them both as functioning normally. But, as shown below, the headset portion is showing as disconnected. But there is no way to connect it.





I have uninstalled and deleted the device and re-paired it. Nothing works. Thoughts?

After connecting to your bluetooth, did you right-click on it and select "Set as Default Communication Device"?
