    Bluetooth headphones hissing and distorting sound


    I just bought five brand new bluetooth headphones, they all have this issue. I have tried this guide but it makes no difference, the sound is terrible. Please help.

    Hi Dynentan- Not trying to pass the buck but did you try the vendor support?

    Have you tried the new headsets on different devices, it could be that the other end of the Bluetooth circuit is causing the issues - the computer Dongle or Phone

    I only have one bluetooth dongle. The headphones all don't seem to work with my phone.

    The main reason that i asked the question is that it is unlikely for five devices such as headphones to have the same issue, it more likely to have the same issue due to either an incompatible or faulty common item, the Bluetooth dongle in this case in most likely, but it could just be a local electrical/electronic interference source, (TV, Microwave oven, cordless telephone etc).

    It could also be that the Bluetooth output is not passed through the equaliser / Sound Processor of your source device where as the speakers that you are used to hearing are.

    There is of course a chance that you have a particularly bad batch of the headphones, or even that they are not very good, (did you hear the quality of the units before purchasing them?.

    I would suggest you can try to connect, either elsewhere and / or to a different source to actually place the fault's Cause

    its not the headphones, i tested them with a standard audio cable and they sound just fine.

    So the headphones are two piece devices, a "Bluetooth transceiver" and a standard set of headphones that you plug into the transceiver - in this case what I said above is still valid as the transceiver is the possible part causing the issue or the bluetooth dongle or the connection between them - the good news is that the headphones themselves are fine as you have proved

    One of my Bluetooth headsets has the bluetooth components built in and has a separate audio cable option, if yours is like this the Transceiver is inside the headphones rather than a separate item

    I think its most likely the dongle or the bluetooth settings, as the headphones works fine with a standard audio cable plugged into the soundcard on my computer.

    In regards to your phone, is Bluetooth shown as enabled in the network settings? Is airplane mode set to off?
