A decade earlier, Wired earphones were in a trend and comfortable but as days passed, wireless technology became a boom and we got introduced to bluetooth technology. This bluetooth technology is so convenient for connecting other devices like mobile phones or tablets to the computer/laptop so that we can transfer any files from mobile / tablet to system or vice versa. But then, headphones also were released with bluetooth functionality which allows users to listen to music wirelessly from their laptop or mobile phone or any music system. Recently many windows 11 users have reported that whenever they tried to listen to any audio via their bluetooth connected headphone/speaker, the audio quality was getting lower and deteriorated. Therefore, we have analyzed this issue and came with a few solutions in this post, which will help the users to listen to their favorite audio without any difficulty.

Fix 3 : Device Range Issue
- Bluetooth technology works very best when the device is within the range of 30 feet or 10 meters.
- So if your bluetooth device goes near to maximum of 30 feet, the quality starts getting low.
- If the bluetooth device still goes further than 30 feet from the music system / laptop, then the audio bluetooth device itself gets disconnected from it.
- Therefore, make sure your audio bluetooth device is within this range and preferably quite near the music system to get the clear and excellent quality audio from your bluetooth device.

Fix 6 : Use a Different Application/Software
Most of the windows users think the device is not working properly or it is damaged when the audio quality of headphones gets low. But actually, this might be one of the reasons for device not working and that is the application you are using to listen to the audio through bluetooth device. If lets say, you are listening to music via google chrome or any other browser software and this browser is not updated or some software issue regarding this browsers arise, then the bluetooth device will give you a low quality audio output. Therefore, it is better to try other applications once and check if the audio quality remains the same in other applications too.
