Bluetooth stereo headset question

I wanted to confirm if the issue I am having is either a limitation (or intended design) or bluetooth headsets or my iMac. I have tried a couple over the ear bluetooth stereo headsets with my iMac. My main use is basically for wireless headset to watch movies/TV and play games at night. My secondary use would be to use it for ventral while playing some games. I've noticed that I can't use the input of the bluetooth headsets I have tried and maintain stereo output. Once I change the input to the headset, it reverts the output to another selection that is not stereo.

Is it possible (or are there any) for bluetooth headsets to both output stereo sound while also being used as an input? The last one I tried was the Creative SoundBlaster Evo ZX, and if it's possible I would expect a $200 headset to be able to do it.
 
What profiles are listed for your Bluetooth headset when it's paired to your computer? It could be listed as something like "stereo" or "stereo and input" or something generic like that. I've used my Bluetooth headset (lg hbs-700) on my work computer for Skype calls, and haven't had the problem you seem to be running into. (Edit, using a pc, not a mac)
 
Under output I have two profiles (i.e. 1. Wireless Headset, 2. Wireless Headset (Stereo)). Input only has one profile.

The headset works, but will switch to the non-Stereo profile if I am using the headset as an input as well. I also have the LG HBS-700, but have never paired it with my Mac, I can give that a shot and see what happens, but I suspect the same.
