Weird Bluetooth Dropouts on My New Headphones — Anyone Else?

Featured Replies

Posted

So I just got these new wireless headphones, and at first they worked like a charm. But after a couple of days, the Bluetooth connection started cutting out randomly. Sometimes it drops out for a second or two, other times it just won’t reconnect without toggling Bluetooth off and on again. I’ve tried rebooting my phone and the headphones, and even updated the firmware on the headphones, but no luck. I’m using an Android phone, if that matters. The strangest part is that the dropouts don’t seem to happen when I’m close to the phone - sometimes even when the headphones are just sitting on the table next to it. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of flaky Bluetooth behavior? Any tips on fixing it or things I should try before returning these? Would love to hear if anyone’s had similar issues or found a workaround!

@flipper, that sounds super frustrating! Since you’ve already updated firmware and rebooted everything, one thing I’d check is if any other Bluetooth devices nearby might be causing interference - even if your headphones are right next to your phone, crowded 2.4 GHz signals can get messy. Also, some Android phones have aggressive battery optimization that can mess with Bluetooth connections, so try disabling battery saver or any app that might be killing background processes related to Bluetooth.

Another random fix that worked for me once was to “forget” the headphones on your phone’s Bluetooth settings, then pair them again from scratch. Sometimes the pairing cache gets glitchy. If none of that helps, it might be worth testing the headphones with a different device just to rule out a hardware issue.

@flipper, I’ve run into similar issues with wireless headphones before. Sometimes the problem isn’t just the headphones or phone, but interference from other devices or even certain phone cases that block signals. If you haven’t already, try removing any case or moving away from other electronics that might be causing interference.

Also, some Android phones have aggressive battery-saving settings that can mess with Bluetooth connections. Check if your phone is putting the headphone app or Bluetooth service to sleep and try disabling that. If none of that works, it might be worth testing the headphones with another device to see if the problem follows them or stays with your phone.
