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)

Guys i fount a solution for this issue. A part of coming back to Mavericks, we can also buy a dark blue paint, paint all the surfaces of our Macs, and throw them to the sea. Also lakes and rivers are pretty efficient, but i do suggest the sea for the vastness of its waters.


Sorry for the disappointment, but i find this problem totally unacceptable. We are talking about a stupid bluetooth connection with (usually) expensive devices.
And Apple could at least tell us that they are working on it.

Hey zeca


I agree, this should be the next logical step. Its a shame we cant get any response from Apple's recommended official support site.


If Apple is not responding, we have to wonder if they're actually even aware of this issue or just ignoring us to avoid the embarrassment. Im pretty sure its the latter. From what i read this is not the only issue with OS X Yosemite, apparently there are some wifi issues as well.

Some of you seem to misunderstand what this forum is. This is a COMMUNITY support forum. A place where we go to get help from each other. This is not a place where Apple official support comes to respond to issues. I assume everyone went to the official bug report system and reported this bug, right? (I did).

Hey Nataku


Thanks for clearing that up and reporting it. Makes sense. I searched for 'official bug report system', seems like you need to be a developer to report there. I have registered a developers account but am not sure if i can post it ( im not a developer)

Would appreciate if other developers here could report this bug.

**waves** 🙂


Having the lag here as well, although I initially thought it was just Amazon Music being silly because that does happen.


And then when I was reading through the thread I realized that the audio QUALITY in my headphones has drastically decreased. I was hearing it and thinking maybe the headphones were going back but then I took them home and connected them to my other iMac that is not updated and the sound was crystal clear again without any crackling or skipping.


I can still deal with it since I am only listening to music when I'm at work but if the quality continues to go downhill I'm going to be SOL because I work in a shared office and I NEED my music but I have to be able to move around a bit.


ETA: I have August EP650 bluetooth headphones and I'm working off a late 2010 iMac here at work. Ya know, I tested on my old iMac but not the new one I just got last month that I did update to Yosemite.
