Comment 146 for bug 405294

i'm using ubuntu 17.10 (single boot) on a macbookpro early 2015 (12,1 model).
i have the apple airpods. they work fantastic with my android phone.

on linux though, it's another story. "it works" but the result is awful. useless.
first, there's lot of time it is not able to connect. it fails. then i retry 5, 6 times and then it connects. when it works: audio is skipping, making long pauses, choppy sound most of the time. and i must stay close to the laptop or signal is lost.

- using bluetooth headset on osx and android (both unixes) is a really good experience. they both perform really well.

- using bluetooth headset on linux with pulseaudio is a terrible experience.
