Airpods constantly cutting out with mac, help!?

For some reason my airpods interrupt all the time when connected to my macbook pro (Mid 2015). But when it's connected to my iphone 7 it's absolutely fine.



How to fix this?

I had the same problem. Was driving me nuts. Audio dropped frequently when listening to music on mac but fine for iPhone 7 Plus, Apple Watch and iPad.


Here is how I solved the issue.

1. Hold down Shift+Option and click on the Bluetooth icon in the menubar.

2. An hidden menu is visible called "Debug" in that menu choose "Reset the Bluetooth module".

- a warning will appear asking you to confirm the action. Keep in mind this will disconnect any bluetooth devices. So if your using a desktop with BT keyboard and mouse you may want to have a usb option available. I did it on my MacBook Pro so it wasn't a problem.

3. Restart the computer.


After restart the bluetooth was fine my accessories all connected without issue and most importantly my AirPods are working great now!!
