I don't use anything like that on a regular basis, but as you asked thought I would try it on my 19.04 system, and with the
Bluetooth headset I have, it all seemed to work. I made a test call to Skype which was successful.

I'm using 'Immerse Active' wireless earphones for Kitsound (KS). Here is a link to them on Amazon (UK):

As you can see they were really cheap!

They worked best in HSP/HFP mode. In the other mode the volume was very low, so I didn't test the mic in this mode.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Tony.
