That one was a good one. Bluetooth gadget makers seem to be allergic to exactly specify what their gadgets really support.
That's on one side extremely understandable, it would be mostly not understandable for humans, the Bluetooth standards involved are arcane, and even relatively experienced computer scientists that are not BT experts can be surprised from time to time, even if they tried to make themselves clever about BT. OTOH, it makes buying Bluetooth headsets slightly a risky business. Then it does not help that most host implementations are kind of not talkative about the connection that they negotiated with the head set. (I mean figuring out which codecs your headset supports involves capturing the traffic and analyzing that, that's state of the art in 2020 on Windows. Now that's user friendliness taken to the extreme, wouldn't you say? Now on Linux, bluez includes an utility that can tell you more about your headset. For whatever reason, Ubung don't include avinfo in their packages, I mean why burden users with details about their headsets?) So my process is sadly as follows: - Look at your headsets (choose BT 4.1/4.2 devices that usually makes sense), read reviews - Order it online - Test if I'm happy with it (on linux, avinfo can tell you about codecs supported, but connecting it to an Android device, doing an Internet based video call, and asking the other side how if you sounded "okay" is usally okay. Bad BT is usually identified as "you sounded really bad, like from the last century"). - If the headset is not okay, send it back. Sadly, the reality of not complete spec sheets on devices makes it basically impossible to know what you are buying beforehand, in general. Andreas Am Mi., 18.
