Airpods Pro: very bad quality in Headset mode on Windows 10

Anonymous

Dear all,

I've got my new Airpods Pro, they work well with my iPhone.

Also on Windows 10 via bluetooth, sound quality is good when using the "Airpods stereo" mode.

However, in the headset mode ("Airpods Hands-Free AG Audio") sound and especially microphone quality is extremely bad. I tried to change the default format (see screenshot, it's only 8000Hz), but I cannot change it as it's grey. Any advice to get a better microphone quality?

According to this post it should be fixed already in Insiders Build (currently Dev Channel only).

Yup they seem to work now from a recent windows update. it’s still two different devices - one for audio and then another for audio and microphone - but it works!

Hi All,

Found the solution pretty simple fix, if you just remove your air pods from the remove device section & re-connect as a new device it would work perfectly. Let me know how it goes
