Bluetooth Headphones - Audio stutter after idle time

Hello,
i'm having trouble using my bluetooth headphones (Porta Pro) on my laptop.

The problem I'm having is that audio start stuttering heavily after the headphones are kept idle for some time (like 5 minutes). Whereas, if i keep playing something, nothing happen and audio goes on normally forever. Leaving the headphones connected but without playing something causes them to start stuttering.
I'm using pulseaudio and have Intel HDA integrated soundcard.

I'm wondering: is there a power saving feature i can disable (maybe via module)? How can i even start to debug such behaviour?
