May 18, 2026, 8:51 AMI have a set of earbuds that work *perfectly* with Linux BlueTooth.
That's.... ILLEGAL, isn't it??

For those seeking these miracles, they are
OnePlus Buds 4
I believe they are 'Oppo' knockoffs, but they are amazingly high quality, even the packaging, and quite reasonably priced

@Firesphere Not from my experience it ain't!

@megatronicthronbanks My Anker and my Sony's never had any issues...
Maybe it's just me? - MegatronicThronBanksmegatronicthronbanks@mastodon.socialMay 20, 2026, 10:51 PM
I spoke waaaaaaay too soon. Even these new ones are now breaking up.
It's Linux. It's Linux Bluetooth.
I'm going to have to restart the bluetooth daemon again. Again.
Lucky I know how to do this.

@megatronicthronbanks Interesting you have all these problems with the Linux BT stack.
I have a Windows laptop for work, and if I use my mouse and keyboard via BT, the headset stops working.
If I plug in my keyboard, and listen to music, the mouse stutters...
I have way more problems with the Windows BT stack than the Linux stack.
