Bluetooth audio lag

Just updated (17th.Oct.2014) to OS X Yosemite. Im having trouble with bluetooth connection. There is an audio lag on my bluetooth headphone which progressively gets worse. Im using Sony DR-BTN 200. Is there a temporary solution until they fix it?


P.S. I found others with similar issues as well. Ive tried re-pairing the connection to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

I'm having the same problem with my bluetooth since upgrading to Yosemite. I have a MBP mid-2009 and a Bose Soundlink Mini. I get significant lag and a lot of skips and sputters when hitting the CPU using other programs. Its REALLY bad when using Firefox and playing iTunes in the background. Even worse when trying to stream audio from Youtube or other video over bluetooth.


I never had ANY issues under Mavericks.


And I still have that **** irritating iTunes autolaunch when disconnecting the Soundlink Mini from bluetooth.


Come on Apple, fix this buggy stuff. >: |

the only solution i have found so far - which is not suitable - is to keep emptying my cache with this program called CleanApp. I'm sure there are similar programs that perform the same function...it seems like the cache builds up much quicker on Yosemite , or something, and when i empty it the problem becomes slightly less intrusive. ill be watching a movie and on the internet and listening to iTunes and things will go wack, if i continously throw out built up cache every 2 hours, the problem (rate of delay) gets better. but not fixed by any means.

i feel sorry for those who use their computer for work how this bluetooth problem will affect them. this is unacceptable.
