While Android shows you which codec and even lets you pick, Android doesn't let you customise output and input devices so you can't avoid the low quality hands-free profile like you can on desktop operating systems. Windows doesn't show you what codec is being used. You have to buy Bluetooth Tweaker. Windows 11 was a step down in my experience and also broke compatibility with a lot of Chinese headsets.

Just the other day I browsed through the PipeWire and PulseAudio repos. They do heaps of work to make Bluetooth work a lot better than it would usually. And yet we still see how rough Bluetooth is. There's no way for individuals or open source contributors to even contact the Bluetooth SIG. But yes, the situation on Linux is better than on other operating systems.

And people don't even know about the issue mentioned in this post until after they've bought it. They don't know where the issue lies. They don't know what AptX is, let alone AptX Voice.
