Update: Here it is straight from the horse's mouth, or rather Antlion's mouth: All Bluetooth mic standards are bad, max they could get out was 16KHz sampling frequency (vid forwarded to where he talks about this):

I put the sound track down for a screen cast with my Sony bluetooth headset. The result was not good, I had to redo it later with a wired mic. I then saw a video review of a higher quality bluetooth headset, but alas again the sound is no good from the mic:

This answer on Quora seems to indicate that with current standards bluetooth microophone audio will always suck, unless you hack the mic stream into some data protocol of bluetooth.
