  1. Bluetooth Headphones will only connect to Handsfree Audio, not Stereo Stereo is disconnected


    The Bluetooth headphones that I'm using are the JBL E45BTs and when I connect my headphones to my Windows 10 PC, the sound quality is terrible and there's no option to switch it to Stereo. I checked the Sound Playback list and saw that the Stereo option was disconnected for no reason. I don't know how to connect to the Stereo mode, as right-clicking and selecting "Connect" doesn't do anything. When I tried to change the sound quality on the Handsfree mode, the option is greyed out and I can't change anything. There are a lot of people saying that unchecking the Handsfree Telephony option will

    Stereo Bluetooth Headphones do not reproduce stereo sound

    Bluetooth 4.x headsets (headphones with microphone) have two modes:
    1. Stereo headset speakers with NO microphone
    2. Mono headset speakers with microphone

    I see in the listing for your headphones it shows a microphone. Make sure your the audio is configured correctly so that you have stereo headphone speakers.

    With your headphones connected with Bluetooth

    Left-click on little speaker (bottom right on desktop)

    Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

    The 9300i does not support Bluetooth stereo (A2DP profile). If the headphones support the Bluetooth handsfree profile, they might work in mono (one audio channel only).

    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.
