Windows 10: Irritating bluetooth headphone problem (choppy audio)

I use the same headphone for my phone and I don't run into the same issue; the audio keeps lagging and it gets cut off at random intervals on my pc tho.

Bluetooth headphone issues (choppy audio)

I have been having a problem with my headphones and bluetooth for some time with Windows 10. At first I thought it was because of the actual headphones I was using so I purchased a new (expensive!) pair, but it seems the problem is with the computer.

Here's what happens:

The headphones will connect perfectly fine and work great, but as soon as there is no audio being played for maybe 5 minutes, when I go to play some audio then the audio will be choppy. I will have to turn off the headphones and restart them in order to
get clear consistent playback.

 

Choppy Bluetooth Audio

Hi,

I have a pair of Sony MDR-1000X Bluetooth headphones.

I bought them specifically so I can use their Bluetooth functionality, so it's pretty annoying how the audio is incredibly choppy.

I've had a similar experience with previous Bluetooth headphones.

Usually what happens is that they will work for a good few hours and then suddenly the sound will become choppy

How do I fix this? It's so annoying and awful. I don't know why something that I'd think would be pretty simple such as Bluetooth headphones would end up being so terrible on Windows. This doesn't occur on any of my other devices.

Just to clarify: I'm not saying the quality is poor, but that the audio is skipping and lagging. It's a bit weird and sounds quite awful.

 

Bluetooth Headphones Audio

I use Windows 10 with no other devices connected other than my LG HBS750 Bluetooth Headphones.

After not using them for a few days, I reconnected them with my computer as I normally do, and I attempted to watch a YouTube video. The audio was extremely choppy, and even the video was slowed down.

I have researched different ideas and tried them all, including:

Turning the computer off and on (of course)

Turning the headphones off and back on, then reconnecting

Turning off audio enhancements

Going to Devices And Printers, selecting my headphones and opening properties,going to services and turning off the suggested service.

Charging the headphones

I've tried connecting to my iPhone 6s and the audio is fine, but when I connect to my computer it is choppy again.

When I choose an audio playback device on my computer, I noticed another option, where it basically says the same as the original LG HBS750 but it says "hands-free". I set it as my default audio to try it out, and it sounded better than the other option,
but instead of choppy it was very very muffled, with every audio setting up all the way. As I've said before, I've no other bluetooth devices connected, no mouse. Just the "tablet" itself and the keyboard connected.

I do not want to buy another pair of bluetooth headphones, and I don't want to listen to choppy or muffled audio.

Please help,

Caleb
