Most of the time if you have a mic, bluetooth switches to the headset profile delivering you 64 kbs mono sound.

As far as I know it's not bluetooth or codec problem but windows/Microsoft implementation of bluetooth problem. If you want to use mic it switches to different BT profile ("hands-on" or something like that) and immediately drops audio quality due to this implementation and bandwidth constraints.

Not exactly. If you do the same on android phone it just works - you can have hi quality stereo audio + high mic quality.

I tested it on couple of BT headphones and also had the same problem as you and also was sooooooo disappointed AF. I specifically bought BT headphones at the beginning of the pandemic only to find out that during skype/teams call I have potato quality.

Turns out that if you want mic + stereo audio, there are 'teams certified' headphones, exactly the same models as regular BT headphones from various manufacturers, but they have also a dongle 'mimic' BT (I think it's 2,4GHz though?) to cheat that retarded bluetooth Windows implementation.
