I have a strange issue with bluetooth headphones, I hearing some quirks, short noises that come and go. I'm using pipewire, I was thinking to switch back to pulseaudio to see if it helps, but I cannot replace it with pulseaudio
I installed pulse audio packages but was not prompted that it conflicts with pipewire and to remove the later and I can't remove pipewire either

How can I do this?

I have just been doing this. you have pipewire dependencies that are not installed like pipewire-pulse, read through the wiki for pipewire(https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire), in there you will also find out how to switch between them. Best I can do, started in there just a few days ago.
I did see sections on bluetooth in there, but I have none.

I have an Xfce system that I installed some years ago with PulseAudio. As mpd and mpv now both depend on libpipewire, that got installed with an update at some point. But it is still a PulseAudio system, and the pipewire package is not installed. It looks like you cannot uninstall PipeWire without removing your flatpaks and some Gnome software, and breaking dark mode in gtk4 apps. I suggest you don't worry about pipewire and libpipewire being there, and just install pulseaudio-bluetooth and bluez-utils. Configure PulseAudio and then use bluetoothctl to configure your bluetooth according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth
