Windows 10: Mic quality poor

I got a new headset a couple of days ago, the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro. I was surprised that my friends on discord told me that I sounded like I was underwater. I tried messing with synapse, windows, and discord settings, I tried changing the frequency but it was already set to DVD quality. I tried disabling synapse, and updating drivers.

very poor quality mic on nokia Lumia 820... experiencing same problem... please give some suggestions

 

Bluetooth headphones with integrated mic - Either selected as stereo headphones with good quality or headset with poor quality

Hi

Win10 64 bit

I have a pair of JVC SBT5 bluetooth headphones which have an integrated mic for mobile handsfree. I have a generic bluetooth 4.0 dongle connected and wish to use the headphones for gaming with push to talk.

The issue is that the headphones show up twice on the sound menu - once as SBT5 Stereo which plays back at high quality of 44.1kHz (where the microphone does not work and is not discoverable) and once as SBT5 Hands-Free which plays back at poor telephone
quality of 8kHz but the microphone works, however I don't want to be gaming with horrible fuzzy quality. Presumably this is setup with the assumption that this is for office use and the maximum that users would reasonably expect.

I have just reinstalled Win 10 and updated to most recent after system corruption. I have also installed latest BIOS and audio drivers for MB.

I have tried updating bluetooth drivers but most recent was already installed.

I want to use the headphones with high quality and mic enabled. Surely there must be a way in 2017 to have both. Any suggestions?

Thanks
