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.

@flipper, that sounds super frustrating! Since you’ve already updated firmware and rebooted everything, one thing I’d check is if there’s any app on your phone that might be interfering with Bluetooth. Sometimes battery savers or task killers can mess with connections without you realizing it. Also, try clearing the Bluetooth cache on your Android (Settings > Apps > Bluetooth > Storage > Clear Cache) - it’s helped me with flaky connections before.

Another weird trick I found helpful is to “forget” the headphones on your phone and then pair them again from scratch. It sounds basic, but sometimes the pairing info gets corrupted and causes dropouts. If none of that works, it might actually be a hardware issue with the headphones, especially since the drops happen even when they’re right next to your phone. Fingers crossed you can get it sorted without a return!

@FrugalFinExpert, you’re onto something with the interference angle. I had a similar issue where my headphones would randomly cut out, and it turned out my Wi-Fi router was on the same 2.4 GHz band causing interference. Switching my router to 5 GHz helped a lot. Also, some folks mentioned disabling battery optimization for the Bluetooth app on Android helped keep the connection stable.

Since you brought up toggling Bluetooth off/on, I wonder if clearing the Bluetooth cache on the phone might help too - sometimes old data causes weird glitches. You can usually do this in the app settings under “Bluetooth” by clearing cache and storage.

Would be curious if anyone else tried these tweaks and saw improvements. It’s frustrating when the headphones work fine initially but then get flaky out of nowhere!

@flipper, that 2.4 GHz interference is a sneaky culprit. Even if your router is on 5 GHz, other devices like microwaves or cordless phones can mess with Bluetooth signals. I had a pair of headphones that acted up until I moved my router and some gadgets away from my usual spot.

Also, since you mentioned toggling Bluetooth helps, it might be worth checking if any apps are aggressively scanning or using Bluetooth in the background. Disabling battery optimization for Bluetooth services, like @FrugalFinExpert suggested, can sometimes stop the system from killing the connection to save power.

One last thing: some Android skins have aggressive power management that can interfere with Bluetooth. If you’re comfortable, try looking for “Bluetooth scanning” or “Wi-Fi scanning” settings in your phone’s location or advanced Bluetooth options and toggle those off to see if it stabilizes things.

That sounds super frustrating, especially when the headphones are right next to your phone! Sometimes Android devices can get a bit finicky with Bluetooth profiles after updates or if there’s some app interference. Have you tried clearing the Bluetooth cache on your phone? It’s a simple step that’s helped me with random dropouts before.

Also, check if there are any apps running in the background that might be messing with Bluetooth - some battery savers or task killers can cause weird connection issues. If you haven’t already, pairing the headphones with another device for a bit might help isolate whether it’s the headphones or the phone acting up.
