Bluetooth headphones with mic simultaneously

dmegatool · January 5, 2017

Is it possible to get audio and use the mic of a bluetooth headset simultaneously ? I got 2 headset here and they work the same way, you either listen or speak. When I try to use the mic, the sound cut off. I can switch the default playback device to "hands free" and it works... but the sound quality is terrible.

I played around with Virutal Audio Cable trying to get around that. But as soon as I foward the sound of the mic to a cable, my audio cuts out.

Help ?

Its a bluetooth limition. Nothing you can do about it.

Wow that sucks... What are my option then ? "Gaming headsets" that will use a dongle I guess ?

I ended up using my phone's mic. I use Wo mic app on my phone and the client on the PC. The mic can be beamed via usb, bluetooh or wifi (which I'm using). Great sound quality, low latency, good enough. I let it sit right next to me on the couch... great !
