I’ve been using my iPhone XS for ages with all manner of Bluetooth speakers and headphones and it’s been solid. I commute with my AirPods and I’m not sure I’ve ever heard them skip.

I recently bought some Senheisser HD 4.5 SE Bluetooth headphones and wore them while walking around, only to be disappointed that the audio skips like crazy. I thought it was just bad headphones but then I noticed my AirPods also started skipping!

I unpaired the Senheissers and now things seem back to formal.

i would appreciate some ideas what is happening here and what, if anything, I can do to resolve it (without ditching the Senheissers).

My best guess is that these require some unstable codec or Bluetooth functionality, and that’s getting pulled into my iPhone Bluetooth stack when paired.
