Windows 10: Sound Quality on Sony WH-1000MX2 Headset

Hi,


I have been attempting to connect my bluetooth headset (Sony WH-1000MX2) to my laptop (lenovo ideapad 700-15isk, windows 10) for the past few hours now. It would seem that when connected there are 2 bluetooth profiles create, one stereo and one Hands-Free. On the Hands-Free option the sound is really poor but I can use the mic. On the Stereo option I have good sound but no mic. But I cant use the mic from Hands-Free and the sound from stereo. I've checked all drivers are running the latest versions but there had been no improvements. After reading online it seems this may be an issue with Windows 10, which I find hard to believe. I was hoping to be able to use these headphones for work to connect to clients and then to listen to music in between. Do I really have to have such poor sound quality?!


Any help would be much appreciated.


Thanks


Rob

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

Bluetooth Headphones disconnect on first sound played (Sony WH-1000MX2)

Hi,

this is a problem bothering me for a few days now. Out of the blue my Sony WH-1000MX2 disconnect whenever I try to play sound on windows.

I switch on my headphones as usual, connect via "Bluetooth Devices" in notification area and get the "bluetooth connected" announcement via headphones. See following screenshot. Everything seems right, Headphones (Stereo) selected as default device, everything
connected and working.





But as soon as I play any sound, no matter if music or just the "test" sound from the sound manager, the Headphones (Stereo) device disconnects right after it played what feels like half a second of whatever sound played. After that, I am left with the following
situation.





I can not get the Headphones (Stereo) back to connect. I can disconnect the whole device (turn off and on again) or disconnect from the control center, but end up with exactly the same situation. At first it looks like it works but after the fist second
of playback it just disconnects.

The thing is, it worked just fine until some days ago and every other device (phone and tablet with android and iOS both tested) is also working just as expected. It's only this laptop with windows 10 that just refuses to work.

Any help / suggestions? I'm out of ideas here.
