I've been looking into Bluetooth headphone settings and I know there are typically two audio quality modes: A2DP, which offers better sound quality but doesn't support a microphone, and HSP/HFP which does. Since I don't plan on using the mic on my headset, it seems logical to set it to A2DP, right? However, every time I launch a game like Valorant, my laptop's built-in mic activates and my headset switches to a lower quality. I even tried disabling the mic on my headset, but it didn't help. Does anyone know what's going on?

Yeah, if nothing is using the Bluetooth mic, your headset should stay in A2DP mode. You might want to check your Windows settings to ensure that the headset isn't set as the default communication device. This option might only be accessible through the classic Control Panel settings. Also, double-check if Valorant is forcing the default audio device regardless of your headset settings.
Here’s a quick fix you can try:
1. Press **Win + R** to bring up the Run dialog.
2. Paste this command: `shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}` and hit Enter.
3. In the window that pops up, right-click your headset and go to **Properties**.
4. Navigate to the **Services** tab, where you should uncheck **Handsfree Telephony**.
5. Click **Apply** and then **OK** to save changes.
This should help your headset maintain A2DP mode.
