Beats Studio Wireless Renders Bluetooth Unusable
Hello All!
I have an issue and I am not able to determine if its an OS X issue or a hardware issue with the Beats Studio Wireless headphones but here is how it plays out.
I have a 15" MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2014 running 10.11.1 (although this issue has been occurring since at least 10.10.4 if I recall correctly). The MacBook Pro is connected to a Thunderbolt Display and I have a Magic Keyboard and a Magic Trackpad 2 connected to the MBP over bluetooth. It's also worth noting this issue occurred with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and the original Magic Trackpad, so this does not seem related to the new 'Magic' devices.
Most of the time I turn on my headphones, they connect right up and I play my music watch videos or whatever I need to do and everything is fine. But every 2-4 days or so, I turn them on, they connect, but then all bluetooth devices connected to my Mac become unusable. The audio through the headphones is choppy, I hear about 50% or less of the audio, the keyboard lags majorly and sometimes glitches where it will get stuck repeating a key that was pressed once, and mouse tracking and clicking are extremely jittery and delayed. I turn off the headphones and everything goes back to normal. I turn them back on and the issue comes back. However, if I restart my Mac, I can use all 3 devices without issue for another 2 to 4 or so days before the issue re-occurs. Any idea what may be going on?
Thanks for your input!
