What I don't get is that why the H/W companies don't just solve this by including a 2nd Bluetooth chip. Give up on running duplex, run high quality audio out to the headphones, and the mic as a separate device using whatever is best there.

Half the battery life.

And there are fixes at the protocol layer already, you just have to use nonstandard extensions. This is how airpods work.

And beats (at least my studio 3s) on Mac/iOS/Android.

If your going to do wireless on windows, either get a separate mic, use a corded headset, or a headset with a USB-wireless adapter unless you want it sounding like a tin can.

You could just stuff two headsets into one same headphone, sharing only speaker output and power. Battery life isn’t a problem, a random BL-5C from parts bin should work just fine.
