Anyone else having Airpods/Bluetooth issues? I find that if I'm listening to YouTube videos on Safari via my Airpods Pro they will cut out briefly every once in a while (maybe every 5-10 minutes?).

Also, while I'm on the subject I was hoping the BT experience would be better with the new M1 Macs but I'm still having issues where my Macbook sometimes automatically connects to my Airpods (Pro and V2) and sometimes doesn't. Sometimes my iPhone will auto transfer my Airpods when I don't want it to but the Macbook never automatically transfers them back.

Had a similar experience with Bluetooth cutting off music playing randomly in my car but not using my AirPods

just started happening to me, although it happens every 10-15 seconds so sure annoying. YouTube then appletv. did update to 11.0.1, before it happened. maybe that was it?

This exact same thing is happening to me. Every 10-15 minutes while watching a movie on Netflix. Using AirPod pro on m1 MacBook Air

I have the same problem with non Apple bluetooth headphones (Sony XM4's), which I have never experienced before. Sound cuts out for a sec or two and then the audio gets out of sync with the video. I hope it is a bug with the M1 rather than anything related to HW.

That reminds me that I had an issue with my AirPods V2 where the audio was slightly out of sync with the video when watching Youtube videos. This wasn't happening on my AirPods Pro. Finally reset the AirPods and they started working properly again. Still experiencing the brief cutouts though on both AirPods...just a slight stutter, like a split second.

I fully charged AirPods and the problem has gone away; watched an episode of ted lasso and have been listening to radio.com (iPhone app!!!) for about an hour now, no issue.

For me the problem was there before the latest update. And it doesn't seem like fully charging the Pods makes it better for me.

I’m having this issue with my AirPod pros and my airpod max. Randomly skips / cuts audio every 5ish minutes. Everything is charged and everything is updated.

I'm still getting this issue. It disconnects the AirPods and then re-connects every few minutes or so. So the video/audio pauses when it skips/disconnects. I've tried removing and re-adding the AirPods. It's extremely annoying and I have no idea what to do. Brand new M1 MacBook Air.
