Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
I don’t have the connection drop in/out problem(s), but something like nine times out of ten I, too, need to
bluetoothctl connect <MAC address>twice for my headphones to actually connect. It’s all the more frustrating because bluetoothctl’s prompt will adjust after the first connection (*attempt) - if it weren’t for the headphones themselves not acknowledging the connection I’d have no idea why no sound would be coming from them.I had that problem with my Sony XM5’s, too, for a while. But it got fixed with either a kernel or software update a few months ago (running the latest Fedora here).
Huh. I have XM3s but am running latest Arch, so maybe it’s something weird with my headphones?
