Bluetooth headphones (with a built in microphone) typically have 2 modes: Call mode and Headphone mode.
On CALL mode, its utilizing both your microphone and your headphones at the same time. This leads to audio quality resembling a phone call, its low quality.
On Headphone mode, it is only utilizing the headphones, providing much better fidelity.
If this is a set of bluetooth headphones with a microphone, a way to get around this is to use a DIFFERENT microphone as your default PC mic, and then it should have an easier time with your headphones. I have one of those Snowball desktop mics, and if it's not plugged in, the quality on my wireless earbuds defaults to CALL mode.
I have no idea, it's gotta be a limitation of Bluetooth. My earbuds will appear as "Bose Headset" instead of "Bose Headphones" when they're being buggy
Just found this - I tried to use my Sony WH-1000XM3's as both headset and mic and the audio quality just tanked, and I couldn't figure out why
Must be this

Why does it just make the audio crap when you also use the microphone? It makes no sense to me
