Bluetooth Audio Profile Manager for PC
A common frustration for PC users with Bluetooth headphones is the automatic switch to low-quality 'voice chat mode' (HFP/HSP profile) when the microphone is active, even if they want high-quality audio (A2DP) and prefer an external mic. This indicates a clear need for a utility that provides granular control over Bluetooth audio profiles.
Product Shape: A "Bluetooth Audio Controller" utility.
- Profile Force Switcher: Allows users to easily switch between (and force) A2DP (high-quality audio) and HFP/HSP (voice chat, lower quality) profiles with a single click or hotkey, even when an application tries to force a specific profile.
- Headset Mic Disabler: Enables users to disable the built-in microphone of their Bluetooth headset while maintaining high-quality A2DP audio, letting them use a separate, higher-quality microphone (e.g., USB mic, webcam mic).
- Application-Specific Rules: Users can create custom rules for different applications (e.g., always use A2DP for game X, allow HFP for video call Y).
- Real-time Profile Monitor: Displays the currently active Bluetooth audio profile and device, helping users understand why their audio quality changes.
Expected Revenue: Moderate. This problem is widespread among gamers, remote workers, and anyone using Bluetooth headphones for mixed tasks on PC. A reliable and user-friendly solution would be highly valued. Revenue could come from a one-time purchase (e.g., $15-$30) or a low-cost subscription (e.g., $2-$5/month) for ongoing updates and premium support. Partnerships with gaming peripheral manufacturers could also be a relevant channel.
