Bluetooth Headphone Stuttering on Pipewire

Hi, I'm dealing with bluetooth headphone stuttering currently. I'm on the newest version of arch, installed via archinstall. i reinstalled pipewire and wireplumber, and that didn't help. I'm on a Lenovo Ideapad Flex5, using Cowin E7 headphones.

Also worth mentioning, when connecting a Steam Controller via bluetooth it stutters as well when moving the mouse. So this may not be a pipewire issue.

Re: Bluetooth Headphone Stuttering on Pipewire

Bluetooth on Linux sucks quite bad unfortunately. I have such issues aswell, especially if there's a little distance between the source and the receiver. With e.g. Android any my headphones I can move around the house, I even can go outside with my Phone in the e.g. living room and still have no dropouts. With Linux -> headphones a few meters without barriers can be enough for it to start stuttering.
