https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser/a2dp

I admit, page name is a bit confusing in the context of headset.

Specific device may support only speech-grade bidirectional codecs. 
There may be issues with support of specific codec in PulseAudio or in 
PipeWire. However GNOME has hard dependency on PipeWire and in bookworm 
it supports more codecs than PulseAudio. LC3 requires adjustment of 
bluez configuration.

I am unaware of a tool that may report all codecs supported by device. 
pactl shows only codecs supported by pipewire/pulseaudio.

However we still do not know if it is USB, Bluetooth, or a dumb headset 
with audio jack.
