Since upgrading to Mojave I've been having problems with the bluetooth connection to my Beats Studio 3 headphones. The audio continuously cuts in and out. It's so bad that the option is to use the audio cable to connect. Has anyone else had this issue with Mojave and their bluetooth wireless headphones, and does anyone have a real solution?
macOS Mojave (10.14)
I have been having issues with bluetooth since upgrading to macOS Mojave but not with my Beats. My MacBook Pro wasn’t unlocking using my Apple Watch a majority of the time I woke it up from sleep. I would have to enter my password instead. I have also noticed that I could not shut bluetooth off (from system preferences, the menubar, and Siri).
Resetting the SMC seemed to fix my bluetooth connectivity issues with my Watch and it is working almost 100% of the time now so I would suggest resetting the SMC:

Yep. Every Bluetooth audio device I connect to is now choppy, and HIGHLY annoying. I too have resorted to a direct connection with these devices.
My audio system it’s not working after connect with my JBL headphone via Bluetooth.
It was working fine, but now the default system don’t work anymore.
I am having the intermittent drops with an apple magic mouse and an kinessis keyboard. Happens constantly all day long.
Same problem! My Cricut won't connect. Has anyone found a fix yet?
This is not working for my Skullcandy crusher wireless headphones
Beatsx no longer even show as an option in audio or bluetooth on 2015 MacBook Air. No chance I am updating my 2018 MacBook Pro.
Bit annoying 2 Apple products no longer talk to each other.
Same for me - upgraded to 10.14.1 and have done a system reset and yet my Beatsx will not connect to my MacBook Air.
Hello people. I reset my Sony H900N to factory settings and it connected right away.
cheers
Bluetooth has been pretty much useless since Mojave, clean install, SMC reset - no change.
Your solution didn't work for me..
This did not fix the problem, in fact there was no indication that the SMC was reset following these steps. Guess I will be downgrading to Sierra.
I had same problem, sound over Bluetooth with my Powerbeats Wireless and Sony SRS-XB3. The sound was really bad. It started after I made a fresh install of MacOS Mojave.
Here's a solution: 1) go to System Preferences/Bluetooth: 'Remove' the blue tooth headset on the list. 2) Next, Pair your
headset; 3) click the 'connect' button to the right of the headset's name.
It's not a hardware issue. Bluetooth worked fine under High Sierra. Upgraded to Mojave and it stops working. Some have reverted back to High Sierra and it works again. It's a software issue.
I found this great hint about holding down the shift+option as you click on the BT menu:
Resetting the BT Module worked like a charm.
