Your Bluetooth headset audio keeps cutting in and out
Bluetooth headset problems are almost always caused by the headset being too far from your device, too many other devices nearby, or a weak battery. Move closer to your phone or computer, move away from WiFi routers and microwaves, and charge the headset fully. If it still cuts out, forget the headset and pair it again fresh.
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless signal that gets blocked by walls, microwave ovens, and other wireless devices. When your headset moves too far away or the battery gets low, the signal drops and the audio cuts out. Three things fix most problems: getting closer to your device, charging the headset fully, and removing other devices that are interfering.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Staying too far from your phone or computer while expecting good connection — Bluetooth has a 30-foot range maximum, and walls reduce it even more
- Not charging the headset fully before testing — low battery makes the problem look worse than it is
- Using the headset right next to a microwave — even when the microwave is off, it can interfere with Bluetooth
Signs you need professional help
- The headset is fully charged, you're right next to your phone or computer, and audio still cuts out constantly
- Only one ear works or there's a physical problem with the headset
