I agree improved codecs is one of the solutions. I think other solutions could appear if Bluetooth wasn't restricted to a 3Mbps bandwidth, which seems to me –I have no information on this– it's a very outdated constraint.

I mean, 4G has existed for over a decade and it supports 100Mbps bandwidths. With that bandwidth it could use uncompressed audio and support stereo for both output and input.

Regarding LC3, I've read people complain that it forces the Bluetooth Low Energy, removing a few features like multi-point connection and a few others.

Isn't it possible to use LC3 over Bluetooth Classic HFP? And isn't LE audio advertised as flexibly supporting multiple streams, much better than Classic? That means, it's just bad implementations, not a principal limitation? Apparently some phones and headphones support it now, but oddly enough there is absolutely no information to find about the specific level of support.
