Does Bluetooth audio still feel inconsistent on Windows 11?
I use the same pair of Bluetooth headphones to connect to both my phone and my computer, and Windows 11 remains the most unpredictable part of the whole setup, in my opinion. Sometimes everything connects smoothly, but other times switching between devices can be clunky, or Windows will incorrectly select the audio output device.
Microphone issues can make things even more confusing, especially when switching between music and calls. I know that new hardware supporting Bluetooth Low Energy audio should improve this, but I’m curious to see how it actually performs in everyday use.

Your suspicion about the new hardware is correct. The introduction of Bluetooth Low Energy Audio is a major leap forward for Windows 11. It's designed to solve the very frustrations you've encountered.
Windows 11 now supports a feature that allows Bluetooth LE Audio devices to stream high-quality stereo sound and use the microphone at the same time, without downgrading the audio quality.
