Crackling noise when I connect OnePlus Bluetooth earphones

I just got the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z as a gift. Tried connecting it to my Macbook Pro (2017, Big Sur) and it connects alright but there's this uncomfortable continuous crackling noise whenever I play any media, whether over the internet or from my computer. How can I go about fixing it?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

Distorted Bluetooth Connection when using headphones with MacBook Pro 2017 Thunderbolt Hello everyone, Since last year, I've been having a problem with my MacBook Pro's bluetooth connection. Whenever I connected Beats Solo 3 Wireless headphones to my Mac the audio would be distorted and muffled. But when I would have connected it to my iPhone, the audio would sound normal. And this issue persisted after using my headphones with my computer for 3 years. Now I have switched my headphones but after 2 months of normal usage, I now have the same distorted audio issue with my Sony WH-1000XM4's. So I think it has something to do with my computer but don't know how to solve it. Does anyone else have this issue? Or know how to solve it?

Bluetooth Connection Problems in macOS Monterey (2) Hey Apple Support Community, I am re-posting a question I posted several months ago, because there has been no response from Apple, and the issue remains for me and a lot of other people. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253327398 Here's the original question: After upgrading to macOS Monterey recently, I have started experiencing a few issues with the bluetooth headphones I normally connect to my Mac: The signal stutters in and out briefly while listening to music, and this happens about once a minute or so. Less frequently, the bluetooth connection drops completely, and then reconnects several seconds later. I don't have these issues when my headphones are connected to my iPhone (iOS 14). The headphones I am using are Bose NC 700s. I have not yet tested a different bluetooth audio device, but I will update this post when I do. Also, this issue occurs even when I am stationary and sitting right next to my Mac. Obviously this has made the experience of using bluetooth in Monterey pretty awful. Just wanted to see if anyone else is having these issues, or similar ones, and if anyone has a solution for it.
