    I’m the opposite. I have to have music, and Bluetooth just sucks on Android. I’ve used Bose, air pods, Samsung beans, generic, etc, on multiple versions of Android, and they just suck so hard. lag all the time, can turn my head to the right without connection stuttering. I’ve tested pockets, hoodies, with and without my watch, naked, nothing works. Bluetooth just blows.

    recently got a pair of jvc explosivs that I had a decade ago and couldn’t be happier. and I used my Bose headset with the cable too.

    Samsung S9 for anyone wondering. have gone through multiple Samsung phones, an LG, tablets, etc.

    have wiped. removed belt buckle, changed pockets. it does work better in back right pocket, but that’s my wallet pocket. I’m just so confused why it sucks to badly.

      I haven’t noticed Bluetooth being that bad on either pixel I’ve had, 3a and now 6.

          Bluetooth has a general lag of several milliseconds, tens of milliseconds probably, for me. But it’s close enough to not bug me when watching videos. And I never have cutouts, not unless I walk very far away. Just tonight at work I was using my pixel buds, left my phone on the desk, walked to the bathroom probably 40 or 50 feet away and through at least 3 walls, didn’t miss a beat 🤷‍♂️

          My old BT headphones back in the day couldn’t go 20 feet across the room line of sight.

          BT has definitely gotten way better in recent years.

      Getting nice in-ear monitors with replaceable cables is so much better than wireless for me. Great sound quality and they weak link that always breaks (the wires) is now no longer an issue. I’ve had the same IEM now for 10 years and just change the cables every couple of years.
