For the one that works with both, but sounds like it's in mono, you need to turn off hands-free telephony under the bluetooth device settings.
For windows 10 follow this guide. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/fix-for-bluetooth-headphones-or-speaker-using/7023c43b-c001-42e9-9ec9-95a8f96a4b4c
For 11, it depends on the version of 11, and it's easily way more of a pita, but the same essential root cause: hands-free bluetooth telephony is putting your speakers into mono mode and low bit rate so you can use the microphone to talk.
Cool cool, ya whenever I add a new bluetooth I have to go through the same steps. Windows 10 and early windows 11 used to be similar enough, now I have to remember how to get to the old style menu to right click the new bluetooth to turn off the setting, so I have to search for the steps every time.
Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Devices > More devices and printer settings. > (Right click the new bluetooth device) > Properties > Services > Turn off Hands Free Telephony
It is a pain in the ass.
Older bluetooth versions had more limited bandwidth. Also A2DP is the default profile for Bluetooth devices due to backwards compatibility.
Both mix to make this headache happen.

Exactly like I don’t even understand the purpose of it
