🔸Watch your distance
Bluetooth headphones and earbuds work best when you are close to the source, such as your Windows computer. Most have a range of no more than 30 feet, but you can start to get interference, delays, and other audio glitches at half that distance or less. And watch out for obstructions, like walls and other people. You'll get the best results when you are right in front of the PC, and when in doubt, get as close as you can.
🔸Beware of interference from other devices
As a general rule, modern Bluetooth devices like headphones are pretty good at cutting through interference caused by other devices and technology. But if you're having a problem with your headphones, investigate the immediate surroundings for other devices that might be unintentionally causing a glitch. At the top of the list: other wireless devices, such as Bluetooth speakers or security cameras, cordless phones in use, and a microwave that's running. To see if there's anything in the vicinity causing a problem, try taking your laptop and headphones to another room or outdoors.
🔸Toggle your computer's Bluetooth connection
In keeping with the tried-and-true IT troubleshooting trick, turn off your computer's Bluetooth radio, wait a minute, and turn it back on again. Click Start and then click Settings. In the pane on the left, click Bluetooth & devices and then swipe the Bluetooth button to the left to turn it off. After you turn it back on and the headphones reconnect, see if that has solved your problem.
🔸Re-pair your headphones
Sometimes, pairing your headphones again can resolve a weird and hard-to-solve problem, especially if something went wrong when the headphones were initially paired.
🔸Update your Bluetooth driver
It's also possible that your Bluetooth driver software may need an update. There are two things you can check. First, if your headphones have a mobile app, check the app to see if there's an option to update the headphones' firmware. When that is done, check for an updated Windows driver for your Bluetooth adapter
