Airpods Max Sound Quality on Windows

I connected my airpod max headphones to my Windows computer via bluetooth, and the sound quality is absolutely terrible as well as the quality of my microphone. I’ve tried to update the drivers on the computer as well as switching from Hands Free to Stereo, but this only worsens or does not solve the issue. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this and has a solution.

In case you never got an actual answer, make sure that the audio output is indeed set to your headphones, but the audio input is not being taken from them. Use your laptop microphone or whatever else you have available, but do not set the AirPods Max to being both the audio input and output at the same time. Same thing actually happens on Mac, too, believe it or not. Really strange.
