Itunes and bluetooth headphones is horrible

I have a really nice pair of rocketfish bluetooth headphones that work great with my iphone...i tried using them with itunes....sound quality was unbearable and all i got was pops and cracks using these headphones with garageband.....Mac needs to do something about this. I have tried using several diff brands of headphones from $50 to $300 same problems. Its obviously not the headphones cause they sound awesome on my phone

I no longer need this questioned answered, haven't used those headphones in the LONGEST time!

  • ITunes and bluetooth headphones

    Does the iPod part play music wirelessly via bluetooth?

    Phoenix_Rising,
    I tried to click the solved button yesterday but I keep getting an error.
    Thank you all for your helpful answers that is of course except the person talking about Menorca Spain. I didn't really get the relevance there.
    I do have a Jabra A120 and it is cool. I think it's kinda useless to have bluetooth built in that you cannot use for iTunes. So you have a wired ear piece for your music and a wireless for your phone conversations. It should definitely be integrated. I will provide feedback to Apple on this and hopefully they will get it sorted out sooner.
    Thanks again,
    me

  • Powerbook and bluetooth headphone

    When I try to pair my Motorola HT820 headphones with my Powerbook I am told my hardware does not support headphones. There seem to be other posts that indicate that people do use bluetooth headphones with power books. Whats the story?

    It does appear to be the internal hardware on the powerbook. I bought an USB bluetooth addaptor (G-sat for about $15 on ebay) and now it works.

  • HT204387 Help with ipod touch and bluetooth headphones

    Hi
    I have an iPod Touch (5th gen) and I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth Headphones but my iPod can't find them.  I can connect them with my iPad no problem, but not my iPod.
    There's nothing on the headphones that I can change I don't think.
    Any suggestions??!
    Thanks
    Kerstey

    - Reset the headphones. Sometimes you have to do that to pair to another device. How yo do that depends upon the headphones
    - On the iPod
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Y will also have to rejoin all wifi netwporks

  • ITunes and Bluetooth

    I would like to know if iTunes has the ability to stream music to my stereo Bluetooth headset. I have a built-in Bluetooth card that is A2DP capable. I can get Windows Media Player 11 to stream to my Motorola BT820 headset. Please tell me how to get this working (if it's possible), I don't want to have to revert back to crappy software like media player. Or if you know of other apps that are better than MP, let me know (however, not Winamp).
    Ty

    YAY! I had to reboot to get my headset to connect today and I decided to check playback with iTunes to the headset and it works. Way to go Vista, you're a piece of crap!

  • ITunes plays through bluetooth headphone

    Every time I tried play music in iTunes through bluetooth headphone, I had to remove and reconnect the device in System Setting panel. After I pressed the play button, the music just would not play at all, or sometimes there was skipping noise. However, playing sound in web browser worked fine. Quit and restart iTunes seemed to be able to "solve" this issue.

    It just dawned on me that you are asking a windows pc-spedific iTunes question.  Bluetooth yes, but windows none-the-less.  I think you would be better off going to the apple forum specifically for windows itunes problems:

  • Does use of bluetooth headphones disable your iMac's headphone jack?

    I know that if you plug corded headphones into your iMac, your iMac's internal speakers are automatically disabled.
    But, if you connect (pair) bluetooth headphones to your iMac, does that disable your iMac's headphone jack?  Or could you use corded and bluetooth headphones simultaneously?

    You can use any bluetooth stereo headphones with your Mac (stereo, A2DP, requires Leopard), though Apple doesn't make any or sell any made by third parties.

  • Bluetooth headphones playback issues with iOS 6

    Has anyone been experiencing some playback issues with the latest iOS 6 and Bluetooth headphones?
    A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of Sony's MDR-1RBT Bluetooth headphones and ever since I updated my iOS devices (4S & iPad 2), playback of tracks has been lagging for the first few seconds. Whenever I choose a song on my iPhone or iPad's player, I just can't hear its first 3~10 seconds. I've contacted Sony about this issue and they bluntly replied that it's Apple's issue, but when I contacted Apple, they referred me to their Bluetooth connectivity site. In other words, my problem still hasn't been solved.
    Could anyone help me solve this frustrating issue?
    Thanks.

  • My bluetooth headphones/-set problem?

    So, I bought these bluetooth headphones with a mic, I pair them with my Macbook.
    It says I can use it as audio in and audio out.
    But when I go to System Preferences, the headphones appear as Bluetooth Headset and Bluetooth Headphones. The microphone won't work unless I choose the Headset, but then the bluetooth connection crashes.
    When I go to audio-in, I see my built-in microphone and the bluetooth microphone. The problem comes when I choose the microphone. It gives me an error Bluetooth sound failed.
    I have to pair it every time just to get the normal sound to work, but my Mac just won't connect to the microphone?

    The type of headphone you describe can be used either as a headset or headphones, that's why you're given that choice. Connecting as headphones will give you better sound quality for music, whereas connecting as a headset will enable the mic for telephony, but the sound quality will be degraded.
    In addition to selecting the bluetooth device option, you may also need to go into the sound settings in System Preferences with it connected and make sure it's selected as the audio input and output device.
    Otherwise, bluetooth dropouts are an unfortunate but fairly frequent occurrence with OS X bluetooth. You might try deleting it from the bluetooth devices list and then pair it and go through the setup again.

  • Why do I need to restart iTunes to hear audio on my Bluetooth headphones?

    I just bought a pair of Motorola S805 headphones, paired with an IOGear Bluetooth 2.0 dongle. If iTunes is running when I connect my headphones, I cannot get audio to play, no matter what I do in iTunes.
    If I shut down iTunes, wait a few seconds, I can hear audio again. This method is not 100%, as I may have to restart iTunes 2 or 3 times to hear audio.
    This is obviously just an annoyance, but I think that there should be a setting to allow iTunes to pick up new audio connections. Why do I need to go through this song & dance of restarting iTunes just to get audio working?
    I have my S805's paired correctly, and they are set as the Stereo Audio device through the Microsoft Bluetooth devices. Is there any iTunes or Bluetooth settings that I can adjust?

    Hi everyone, for the sake of posterity and if anyone encounters this problem, I have found a solution. I added a Motorola D200 bluetooth adaptor and I no longer have the problem. Since the D200 is an audio device it behaves better with iTunes.
    I think the original problem stems from the fact that iTunes does not play well with audio devices on the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. I suspect that iTunes does not check for audio device updates of this type.

  • ITunes refuses to use bluetooth headphone

    At first, I didn't realize there is this forum, and posted the following in a forum which is less suitable than this one. So, I copy it here.
    I'm bewildered. Consider these three items: The bluetooth setting of Mac OS (the bluetooth icon near the top right corner), a bluetooth headphone, and iTunes. In what order should I switch them on?
    First of all, I use the same headphone (S305 of Motorola) with the iPhone 4 and the 6th-gen. iPod Nano without any problems. It doesn't seem to matter which is switched on first.
    Now, on my iMac, I experience wierd things. For example,
    1) Switch on the headset.
    2) Bluetooth menu of iMac -> Turn on Bluetooth.
    3) Bluetooth menu of iMac -> S305 -> Use headphones.
    After a while, my headset beeps and the Bluetooth
    icon of the iMac turns to three dots. (Connection
    established.)
    4) Invoke iTunes. Then, the Bluetooth icon turns back
    to the Bluetooth symbol, and music starts to flow
    from the buildin speaker. Not from the headset!
    5) Quit iTunes.
    6) Bluetooth menu -> Turn off bluetooth.
    7) Do item (2).
    8) Do item (3).
    9) Do item (4). And then, there is an error pop-up
    window, saying that the bluetooth audio failed,
    or somthing to the effect.
    10) Restart the iMac.
    11) Repeat from (1). Then, SOMETIMES, iTunes plays music
    through my headset!
    I failed to see any "systematicness". It SOMETIMES works and SOMETIMES fails.
    Is there any pattern here? What's the correct order to turn on various things? I ask this, because establishing a Bluetooth connection after starting iTunes SOMETIMES works!
    Oh, and I'm sitting right in front of the iMac and the strength of the signal should be very good. When I do a test like the above, I turn off all other Bluetooth signals. (For example, if its Bluetooth is on, my iPhone 4 establishes a connection with my headset before my iMac does so.)
    Ryo

    Are these tracks ones that iTunes played successfully before the update? If not, what format are the tracks (MP3, WAV, WMA, etc.)?

  • Bluetooth headphones with itunes

    i have some bluetooth headphones, LG HBS-200 and a bluetooth usb dongle for my laptop. I can connect my headphones to my computer, but i don't know how to make itunes work through them. (or any other media like power dvd for that matter) any help would be greatly appreciated.

    i finally figured out how to make itunes play on your bluetooth headset...kind of a pain.
    this is on vista...
    click on the start bar, click on search, type sound.
    click on sound, when sound loads you should see a list of sound devices for your computer. you have to disable your primary audio output.
    FYI, right click and click display disabled items, so you dont have to go manually turn your internal speaker or speaker outputs back on

  • Bluetooth headphones: intermittent cutting and out

    When using bluetooth headphones with my g5 (OSx 10.5.8) and listening to my iTunes library the sounds cuts in and out regularly through out the songs.
    I am only a couple of feet away from the computer, sitting at my desk. This is not happening with my iPhone 4s. Does any one have any experience and suggestions for this?
    Thanks

    I'm not sure what the problem is to be honest. I just know I wold love Apple to fix this issue. I've tried turning off the Wi-Fi on my unit and this issue still exist. I was thinking since it's a BT 2.0 and my headphones specs are BT 2.1 + EDR. I'm not sure, and would love for someone to help me fix this issue. I'm on the verge of returning my headphones and purchase the Jaybird Headphones.

  • Videos/Games use internal speaker and not Bluetooth headphones with 4.2

    Until yesterday, the bluetooth headphones would output all sounds.. music, videos, games..
    With 4.2, it now only outputs sound on MUSIC. For videos, you need to click the sound icon and select the headphones. If you're listening to the ipod music on shuffle (and have music videos in there), it will play the music part in the headphones but switch the ipad speaker when a video comes on.
    As annoying as that is, this part can be changed. In games, theres no way to change the output to the headphones (it's all the ipad speaker).
    Is this intentional? something I need to change in settings somewhere?

    You've done well with troubleshooting so far. Next step would be to back up and then restore from iTunes. Good luck!

  • Using a bluetooth headphone, how can I play/pause and skip tracks on apps like Spotify?

    I have just bought the Sennheiser MM 550-x bluetooth headphone. I am not able to use the headphone's bluetooth buttons to play/pause and skip tracks in Spotify and other non-Apple apps in Lion. The bluetooth controls (avrcp) work in iTunes and QuickTime player, though. The same issue applies to the Apple headsets with inline remote controls. Is there a workaround for this, like third party remote apps  that responds to bluetooth commands or let you remap incoming bluetooth commands?

    I'm having the same issue with my Philips, I have tested on ML and Maverick and still happening,  the controls just work with iTunes and I always use spotify... Any solution for that!?!!?!?
