Powerbeats Pro Bluetooth Issue-iPhone

This is an old issue but have not seen a solution to this problem: one ear piece intermittently and randomly looses Bluetooth connection and requires "Forgetting this Device" and repairing to iPhone. Using an iPhone 11with up to date software and the Powerbeats firmware is also up to date.

iPhone 12 bluetooth audio crackling I have a iPhone 12 and the iOS is 14.4. I have had issues for some time in which listening to audio through a bluetooth device (speaker and Powerbeats Pro), at some intervals (unknown the time frame between) the audio will crackle and become static-y. Originally, I had thought this was because of my beats only, but recently got a bluetooth speaker and it happens on that as well. What can I do to remedy this? I have deleted bluetooth profiles and also replaced my beats (when I thought they were the only thing affected) and to no avail, I still have the issues.

iPhone 12 Pro Max Bluetooth or iOS problem Issue with Bluetooth or iOS on 12 Pro Max: Strange, earbuds were paired as separate devices, Left and Right. When playing a song, only left earbud works. I had no issue with iPhone 6+. both were working, and paired as a single earbud unit. Apple, any ideas why it works with older Iphone 6+ but not with new iPhone 12 Pro Max ?

Bluetooth issue: iPhone paired but no audio output The short version is that I can’t get audio via Bluetooth on my iPhone, although I think it's more complicated than that. My iPhone X (ios 13.1.3) has no issues seeing or connecting to Bluetooth devices, but even though devices are showing as connected (in the iPhone settings -> Bluetooth), I still get sound from the iPhone speaker (and not the intended output). When I open the control centre (& click on the wireless speaker icon), I cannot see or select any Bluetooth sound outputs. If I restart my phone, Bluetooth will start working again fine - for a while. I have tried resetting the network settings but this didn’t help. It’s definitely the phone (not the speaker) - I’ve tried multiple wireless speakers and my car’s Bluetooth system. Curiously, I can still make hands-free calls in my car (with Bluetooth) but I can’t play music. I guess it’s a slightly different protocol? This has happened in the last few weeks - perhaps with an iOS update although I can’t be sure. It may also correspond with my beats headphones behaving strangely (failing to turn on, then failing to turn off, although these now seem to be working fine). I suppose it’s possible that these headphones are failing to ‘disengage’ the Bluetooth audio or something. Is that a thing? Curiously, the Beats headphones connect for audio every time! This is a very frustrating issue. Any fixes / suggestions? Or failing an actual fix, is there a way to reset the bluetooth module or something similar in the phone (without restarting)?

Hello,

Hmm, it could be wireless interference:

Good luck.
