I guess because it switches to a mode that favors latency over sound quality?

I tried using bluetooth headphones on a digital drumkit once, which went about as well as you'd expect. (mind you there was a laptop in between as well)



It somehow works with dedicated USB dongles that are size of a penny. Look at Jabra Evolve 65T. From my perspective as a customer it's an issue with Bluetooth standard, not hardware. The latency problems are somehow solved when using USB adapters, so why can't we embed those adapters in our devices?


Because all the switches that would allow you to tweak this are all safely locked in a black box, wrapped in a committee and sealed with an NDA.

The problem with Bluetooth is the encumbrance of all the IP protection that surrounds it.
